A Personalized Guide 

The truth is that traditional travel guides are like encyclopedias. Page after page of words, with a few graphics or maps, are the standard. That's nice if you happen to like reading encyclopedias. Most of us need a travel guide that takes us by the hand and guides us through the park - like following a Disney World veteran like me around the park.

That's exactly what you'll find in the EZ Fun Guide to Walt Disney World.

Start with the EZ Fun Maps™

After we made several family trips to Disney World, our friends and family started asking for help planning their Disney vacations. Because they didn't like any Disney World travel guide in the bookstores, we would sit down together and talk about what they wanted to see and do, then I would draw sketches of the parks. They loved my maps!

Because I'm a writer and graphic designer (after all, I have to make money to pay for my Disney adventures!), it didn't take long for the idea of a book for families planning Disney vacations to take hold. This would be a book that even Walt Disney himself would be proud of.

 

First inside are the EZ Fun Maps™. A picture is worth a thousand words, so here's a sample EZ Fun Map that focuses on Future World in Epcot:

EZ Fun Guide: Epcot Future World.

  • EZ Fun Maps™ are color-coded descriptive maps that portray the major theme parks, water parks and other selected locations.
  • Each EZ Fun Map page is a diagram of one area of the theme park that shows where everything is located, with a short description of each attraction, restaurant, shop and other features.
  • That means you don't have to flip back and forth between the map page and a description somewhere else in the book as in other travel guides.
  • With an EZ Fun Map in your hand, it's like I'm walking through the park with you, pointing out every attraction, restaurant, shop and other feature.
  • And notice the checkboxes. That makes it easy for you and your family to check off and remember what you want to include on your vacation.


In total, the 34 EZ Fun Maps™ are all designed to make it easy for you to plan the perfect Disney vacation.

Checklists Make It Easy! 

Some very important information does not fit well into the EZ Fun Maps™. So you will find that information in easy-to-read checklists and tables.

  • What makes each park - Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney-MGM Studios, Disney's Animal Kingdom - unique.
  • Three styles of theme park touring, and how to accommodate everyone's touring preferences.
  • How to use Extra Magic Hours to extend your vacation enjoyment.
  • The single most important thing that you can do to reduce time spent waiting in line.

  • How to use FastPass, which is free for anyone!
  • The basics of planning meals in the theme park.
  • And much, much more about recreation outside the theme parks.

Of course, you'll want the basics on the Disney resort hotels. Everything you need to know is packed into one page for each resort.

  • Theme and decor, both exterior and room styling
  • Room rates, and when those rates are available (Did you know each resort has different rates for the same room at different dates throughout the year?)
  • Restaurants, shopping and recreation
  • Transportation from the resort to the parks, Downtown Disney and other Disney World destinations

I know that I told you that this was a simpler Disney travel guide, and I promise that it is. But there are a few more things you should know. So there are a few more tables and checklists:

  • Restaurants at the parks and resorts.
  • Souvenir suggestions, with descriptions and prices.
  • Transportation basics and discount information.

Now You Have Everything You Need To Plan the Perfect Vacation! 

Most Disney travel guides stop here. But that's not everything you need! As a Disney vacationer myself, I know that you have to make dozens of decisions. So the EZ Fun Guide has one final chapter: The EZ Fun Vacation Planner.

In this 25-page chapter, 12 specially designed worksheets called EZ Fun Sheets™ walk you through the entire vacation planning process:

  • Review what you have learned about Disney World, and make important decisions about what the "perfect Disney World vacation" is for your family.
  • Decide who is in charge of planning your vacation, set a budget, and write down your "must do" activites and a few other basics.
  • Compare the different Disney seasons, determine when crowds are heaviest or lighter, and when Disney offers special events, such as sporting events or special holiday events.
  • Decide how many days you will spend at Disney World, and make an outline of what you will do in each theme park.
  • Compare the cost of flying and driving.
  • Decide on your Disney World resort hotel. Compare the cost and features of the Value, Moderate or Deluxe Resorts, Fort Wilderness Campground, and the Disney Vacation Club Resorts. Research discounts, and make reservations.
  • Compare the features of the Magic Your Way tickets, and learn about the different options. See how the Water Park Fun and More Option can save you money. See why the Parkhopper Option is important. Calculate ticket prices, and pick the best ticket for your family.
  • Add even more fun to your vacation by planning recreational activities, like tours, waterskiing, watercraft rentals, and kids' clubs.
  • Learn about the dining programs, and calculate whether they are a good buy for your family. Calculate a realistic dining budget, and see how your resort shop can actually save you money.
  • Plan ahead for the most unexpected vacation expense -- souvenirs!
  • And pull it all together with a realistic, complete vacation budget and schedule.

One more cool fact: Each of these planning pages tells you the exact page number where you can find more details. You simply won't find this kind of planning aid in any Disney travel guide anywhere!

Messages from a Few of My Readers 

This is the third edition of the EZ Fun Guide™ to Walt Disney World®. We have a great reputation among our readers. Here are comments from just a few of them:

Maria, New York: Thank you so much for sending me your book. It was a great feeling reading through. I was walking the streets of Disney in my mind. What a great feeling. It is a great, informative piece of work, so accurate I could not believe. My family and I will be returning in December. This book will be cherished forever.

Lei G.: Anne, your book arrived yesterday and even though I haven't read it front to back yet, I have skimmed through it and it is WONDERFUL! The EZ maps are my favorite part of the book so far. I love having the attraction descriptions right there. And the descriptions are great because they are brief, yet they give you a good "feel" for the attraction.

Darla, Santa Rosa: Dear Anne, I was so excited when I received your book. I really like the format. Its very easy to follow. And it fits in my purse. I have already marked several pages. I really am glad I sent for it. I found several tours that I didn't know about. One of them is Dolphins in Depth. My son is very interested in this. Thanks for writing a great guide. We are Disney Freaks, but we live in Santa Rosa, Ca., so its easier for us to go to Disneyland instead. We go a couple times a year. We love it. This has been a dream of ours to go to Disneyworld and your guide is going to be so helpful. Thanks!

Kristin K., Tennessee: What a fun and effective way to plan a trip to Disney World! The EZ Fun Guide to WDW was exactly that - easy to follow, fun - and most importantly - it answered all my questions in a quick and easy-to-understand way. And it's all in one small, easy-to-carry, easy-to-reference book. Thank you, Anne, for doing the homework for us and providing us the tips needed for an "EZ Fun" vacation at Disney World!

Adding the Disney "Plus" 

Walt Disney always wanted the absolute best for his guests. He would push his team to "plus" every attraction - that is, add little touches that made great even greater. It's still a Disney tradition.

PS: You will find a few ebooks online that say they will save you thousands on your vacation or show you "secret insider" information you won't find anywhere else. I don't mean any disrespect to them, but I think they are overstating what they offer. I don't think that's the kind of book that Walt would be proud of, and that's not what you will find in the EZ Fun Guide. I offer only valid information on how to get the greatest value for your Disney vacation spending - in both dollars and time. I don't steer you toward time-share sales pitches or limited-access tickets or any tactic that is more time consuming than helpful.

PPS: I have 10 years' experience working with the travel and hospitality industry (primarily as a conference planner). I know the importance of value to today's families. If you are not 100 percent satisfied with your purchase for any reason, all you have to do is send me an email. Your total purchase price will be refunded immediately.
