Frommer's EasyGuide to Disney World, Universal and Orlando

Preparing for an Orlando vacation can be a full-time job, and it costs a small fortune. Most other books on the market make the problem worse, burying vacationers in endless pages of pointless details, unquestioningly cheering for the high-priced theme parks and resorts. However, the lightweight, fact-packed Frommer’s EasyGuide to Disney World, Universal and Orlando cuts through the noise and compresses the information you truly need to know. No other book does what we do: honest talk, solid essentials all updated after the pandemic lockdowns, and affectionate insider secrets to Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, SeaWorld, and the inimitable culture and history of Orlando and Central Florida.

This groundbreaking Orlando guide was named Guide Book of the Year by the Society of American Travel Writers. Author Jason Cochran started going to Orlando as a child in the early 1970s and he keeps you on top of the newest developments in this ever-shifting tourist scene. He wants to help you master the parks with a minimum of anxiety and expense.

No other book is as comprehensive while remaining so concise and so honest. No other book synthesizes advice, history, and good sense in such an easy-to-read format. It’s smart―like you.

Smart appraisals of what is worth waiting in line for―and what you can skip―using the Frommer’s star rating system, plus “don’t miss” sections for each park.

Incredible restaurant recommendations―a full chapter’s worth. It is the only guide in which all city restaurants are family-owned and none are chains or franchises.
