Summary

This is not an "official" guidebook, blessed by the theme park companies. Its opinions are independent, its assessments candid. It will help you plan ahead to make the most of your time in Orlando's theme parks and will be invaluable on the spot. Plus excursions to Busch Gardens and the Space Coast Book jacket.
