Breaking down the parks’ information into a section for snacks and a section for beverages was a little redundant and could have been better presented as one section. However, the format in which it was presented, kept changing in each section and made it difficult to follow at times. The book explains that its organization was broken down into full service and character dining, quick service, and snacks and beverages. It is more wishful thinking on my behalf that someone will come out with a really great guide for those with allergies and other specialized dining needs. I realize that this is not their area of expertise, nor is that the focus of the book. It is not a complete or all-inclusive guide, but more of an overview. There is a brief section for those who have food allergies. They even wrote about my personal obsession, Disney cupcakes – which I truly believe should be their own food group!!!! I also enjoyed that they touched upon the food trucks area coming to Downtown Disney. There is also a helpful chapter on tipping. I was also very happy to see that ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, Shades of Green, The Swan and The Dolphin were included in this guide. The book is broken down into sections of tips and general dining information, theme parks, water parks, downtown Disney and the resorts. The descriptions are brief, providing few details, but do give a good overview of the food offerings at Disney World. But then I took a step back and looked at this book for what it is – a comprehensive listing of restaurants, food courts and kiosks at Disney World, and with that being said, it does a good job.
I was initially very disappointed with that. If you are looking for food and restaurant photos, menus, pricing or restaurant hours – you will NOT find them in this book. I had high expectations, considering that I follow, Rick’s website, and love the information it provides.
As a Disney Foodie, I was thrilled to be able to check out this book and the day it arrived, I ripped open the package and began reading. I received a free copy of the 2015 Edition of Dining at Walt Disney World, The Definitive Guide by Rick Killingsworth and Paula Brown to review.
