Beyond Disney: The Unofficial Guide to Universal, SeaWorld, and the Best of Central Florida (Unofficial Guides) ReviewThis is a companion book to the "Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World," for those who decide to venture beyond Disney's realm in central Florida. The authors do a fine job rating attractions (rides, films, displays, etc.). They use star-ratings coupled with their assessments and readers' comments, along with a healthy dose of humor--all of which will be familiar to readers of the "Walt Disney World" book. It's all-too familiar in the case of Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. In fact, it's simply a verbatim extract of the "Walt Disney World" text. Worse yet, it omits one of the best features of the Disney book: the touring plans.
If you're planning a trip to Universal Studios, and/or Islands of Adventure, stick with Sehlinger's Disney book: it contains more and better coverage. Sea World receives better coverage here. And this is the only "Unofficial Guide" coverage of the other parks.Beyond Disney: The Unofficial Guide to Universal, SeaWorld, and the Best of Central Florida (Unofficial Guides) OverviewFrom the publishers of The Unofficial Guide(r) to Walt Disney World(r)"A Tourist's Best Friend!"-Chicago Sun-Times"Indispensable"-The New York TimesSeven Great Features and Benefits offered ONLY by The Unofficial Guide(r):* Practical tips on when to go and how to beat the crowds at 11 of Central Florida's best theme parks* Firsthand information on what's worthwhile and what's not at major attractions* The inside scoop on where to go for the best roller coaster action* Complete coverage of Universal Florida, including Islands of Adventure(r), CityWalk(r), and detailed restaurant reviews* Comprehensive chapters on SeaWorld and Discovery Cove(r), Busch Gardens(r), Kennedy Space Center, Gatorlande(r), and the Holy Land Experience(r)* Comparisons of all area water parks* The straight story on Orlando-area dinner theaters and nightlifeSample RatingRevenge of the MummyAppeal by Age Preschool Grade school Teens Young adults Over 30 .

Universal Orlando with Kids, 2nd Edition: Your Ultimate Guide to Orlando's Universal Studios, CityWalk, and Islands of Adventure (Travel with Kids) ReviewI love this book series and consider it to be the most helpful type of book for families traveling with kids under the age of 12. Our family has gone to Disney World many times but just recently began adding trips to Universal to our vacations as well. Our kids are 6 and 10. It helped a lot that the writer prepared us for the fact that Universal rides are louder and scarier than those at Disney world. I think otherwise we may have made some choices that would have flipped out our younger child - the signs in Universal are all cartoon like and very misleading.
The book also helped us to decide to stay in one of the Universal hotels, the Hard Rock hotel. I think I might have skipped this for another type of hotel both becuase I would have thought the Hard Rock wasn't for families or because other hotels in the area were less expensive. But the book convinved me that since we were going in summer we would need the front of the line privledges that people get when they stay at a Universal hotel. Boy were we spoiled! we saw every ride we wanted at both Islands and Universal without waiting at all and rode some things more than once. And the Hard Rock was a great, friendly hotel where the kids were treated very nicely.
A helpful book!Universal Orlando with Kids, 2nd Edition: Your Ultimate Guide to Orlando's Universal Studios, CityWalk, and Islands of Adventure (Travel with Kids) OverviewIf you're looking for the perfect family vacation, look no further!

The Everything Guide to Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Greater Orlando: Hotels, Restaurants, Major Attractions, and More (Everything Series) ReviewHaving had quite a lot of previous Walt Disney World experience, I was really disappointed with this book. I will say that the book looks nice and is laid out all right, but the content is awful. The book mentions attractions and shows that were long gone (I mean years) by it's release date in late 1998. One of Disney's major resort hotels isn't even named properly in the book. There is a big difference between Coronado Springs (correct) and Colorado Springs (wrong). Anyone who has even briefly visited the hotel can pick up on the southwest/Mayan/Aztec theme and should realize that the name Colorado Springs wouldn't make sense. I think if an author is claiming to be enough of an expert on something to write a guidebook, the basic facts should be right, which they are not. Virtually any other guidebook will give you better and more relevant information!The Everything Guide to Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Greater Orlando: Hotels, Restaurants, Major Attractions, and More (Everything Series) OverviewEvery year, millions of holiday makers travel to Orlando to experience a jam-packed vacation, from early morning golf to late nights on Pleasure Island. Planning the whole trip can seem overwhelming, expensive and daunting. The good news is planning the holiday can be fun! The Everything Guide to Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Greater Orlando offers tons of tips and suggestions on how you can save time and money whilst making the most out of your holiday. This completely updated book includes details on: Hotels and restaurants The Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Animal Kingdom and MGM A completely up-to-date section on Universal Studios and Island of Adventure Sea World Water parks Night time entertainment And all the rest of Orlando's attractions.

Beyond Disney: The Unofficial Guide to Universal Orlando ,SeaWorld and the Best of Central Florida (Unofficial Guides) ReviewBeyond Disney is meant to be used as a second guide when planning a trip to Orlando. They assume that you have purchased The Unofficial Guide Walt Disney World 2010 (Unofficial Guides) or something similar and are using this one for the other theme parks in the area. This is a good idea but there are some problems with it. First, the Universal Parks are already covered in the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World and that material is largely dropped in here with no significant changes. So if you have the Unofficial WDW book, then you don't need to see that again here.
The main value in this book lies in the coverage of Sea World and Busch Gardens. Both are major theme parks and get full coverage here. I found the Busch Gardens information especially helpful. Busch has so many attractions that you can't possibly enjoy every one in a single day and this guide will help you focus on what you might enjoy the most. This is the only book in the Unofficial Guide series where you'll find material on Busch and Sea World, and many of the other publishers ignore those parks completely. If you are interested in attending either park, then I highly recommend Beyond Disney. If you plan to stick to WDW and/or the Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure area then you can safely skip this.Beyond Disney: The Unofficial Guide to Universal Orlando ,SeaWorld and the Best of Central Florida (Unofficial Guides) OverviewSeven Great Features and Benefits offered ONLY by the Unofficial Guides:

Guide to Universal Studios Orlando & Islands of Adventure - Insider Tips to Plan Your Vacation ReviewThis is nothing more than a poorly written personal trip report with youtube links.
Writer offers opinionated, subjective review of attractions and talks more about the heat, hunger, headaches and backaches she experienced than anything else.
Took less than 30 minutes to read, still wondering where the "Guide" and "Insider Tips" part is.
Sorry I purchased.Guide to Universal Studios Orlando & Islands of Adventure - Insider Tips to Plan Your Vacation OverviewUniversal Studios Orlando and its sister park, Islands of Adventure, was a fun part of our trip with our 10-year-old and 8-year-old. This book is for anyone planning a trip to these parks, but includes information that is helpful for parents visiting with their children. In this book, you will get:* a complete description of the rides & attractions in both parks, along with the best You Tube links of the rides and attractions. This way, you can determine ahead of time, which attractions and rides are most suited to you and your family. * Tips that will make your visit to these parks go much more smoothly and prevent you from wasting time when there.* FAQ such as: * Is it worth getting a park hopper pass (aka 2-park access) to be able to go between both parks (Universal Studios and Universal's Islands of Adventure)? * Should you get the Express Plus passes? * How many days should you buy tickets for? * Is it worth buying the Universal Meal Deal at Universal Studios and/or Islands of Adventure? There are also a few photos of inside the parks, that you will find in this guide, just to give you a taste of what to expect. Look for my other ebooks about other Florida attractions such as Seaworld, Gatorland, Kennedy Space Center, Aquatica, Discovery Cove, and Busch Gardens Tampa.

Universal Orlando 2011: The Ultimate Guide to the Ultimate Theme Park Adventure (Universal Orlando: The Ultimate Guide to the Ultimate Theme Park Adventure) ReviewI have never been to Universal Orlando, although I have been to Universal Hollywood a couple of times. All of my Orlando trips, of which there have been several, have always been Mouse-oriented. Now that Universal has added The
Wizarding World of Harry Potter to its many themes, my friend and I are planning a trip for early 2011.
However, I couldn't find any book that even mentioned the new Wizarding World. Until this one. I believe it's the first.
I read the book from cover to cover, and the Harry Potter section over and over. There are many typos and grammatical mistakes all the way through the book, and I found that distracting. However, the information in the book was so valuable, the editor in me has to let those mistakes slide.
This is truly a valuable book. I now know how to buy my tickets, approximately how much they're going to cost, how many days we're probably going to need, and how many days it'll take us to see the things we want to see. I even discovered that there's a Men in Black themed ride inside Universal. And that's just the info I was looking for.Universal Orlando 2011: The Ultimate Guide to the Ultimate Theme Park Adventure (Universal Orlando: The Ultimate Guide to the Ultimate Theme Park Adventure) OverviewUniversal Orlando, the preferred destination for sophisticated adult fun-seekers and thrill-seeking teens, celebrates its 20th anniversary with the hottest new set of attractions in the business: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. This new edition not only provides the first printed in-depth reviews of every attraction in Harry's world but adds color photography to better communicate the excitement of Universal's two theme parks, CityWalk entertainment district, and luxury resort hotels.
