It's told in the voice of an imaginary child who has spent a memorable week in Orlando exploring the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disney's Animal Kingdom and a few less well-known Disney World attractions.The book mostly highlights some of the top rides in the four theme parks, with just enough description to pique a kid's interest and get him or her excited about what to expect. It's illustrated throughout with photos on bright colorful backgrounds.Even though this is a kids' travel guide, it contains information that parents may wish to learn about as well, for example, what a ride is like or what to do with the children at night.Author, Joy Anderson, is a travel writer who at one time wrote exclusively about family travel. She knows Walt Disney World very well, including what it is like to go there with children (namely, fun and memorable).
