Beyond the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World
In preparation for an upcoming trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, I soon discovered one of my favorite travel sites: DisBoards.com, a Disney discussion community full of great tips, resources, and a group of friendly die-hard Disney fans sharing their exeriences and advice. In fact, I’m became of them. The folks here commonly recommend the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World as the de facto guide book to WDW, so without hesitation, I bought myself a copy.
The book is indeed as good as the raves about it. It’s very comprehensive, and covers just about everything you need to know about planning your trip to WDW. And for the most part, I agree with pretty much everything in the book (especially the tips about arriving early). However, there were a few areas where I felt the book was either not entirely accurate, left out, or simply not enough attention was paid to. While I strongly suggest picking up the guide, here are some additional tips for Walt Disney World.

Hotwire Hotels In Las Vegas
Hotwire is a great way to book hotels in Las Vegas because travelers can save a lot of money on hotels. Hotwire uses a blind bidding or ‘opaque’ model, where travelers do not know the name of the hotel until after they make their hotel reservation (which is non-refundable). This can save travelers money but there are also some risks involved. Specifically, you do not know what hotel you are getting and you cannot cancel your hotel. Fortunately, there is an effective way to figure out or reveal Hotwire hotels in Las Vegas before you book. This method is explained in this article and provides some other tips and advice.
