Lisa,
It is true that I am the author of the
Complete Idiot's Guide to Walt Disney World, as well as the creator of an iPhone app (
The Walt Disney World Complete Travel Guide).
But there are a lot of other great resources out there for preparing for your trip. Here are a few ideas;
Have you visited the
Disney Parks Blog? You can find a link to it from the bottom of the Walt Disney World website, and it is filled with great information and articles that can give you ideas on special things to do on your trip.
How about some podcasts? Some of my favorites are WDW Today, The WDW Radio Show, the Be Our Guest Podcast, and the DIS Unplugged. All are unique, offering different kinds of info, so check them out.
And there are several unofficial websites I frequent. The tops of these include AllEars.Net, the DIS Boards (forums), and WillCAD.org (for the resort maps!).
And of course, there is no better place to go than the Walt Disney World Moms Panel!
Have a magical vacation!
