I love the Unofficial Guide! Although I've read mine so many times, I know it by heart. 
The 2008 version came out in Sept. 07.

Two years ago we used the Unofficial guide and Birnbaums. Both were excellent. However, this year DF and I are using Passporters, which offers great insight on dinning as well as folders for park tickets, fastpasses, ect. There are also sections for notes on each day of your vaca just in case you were planning on writing a TR :zipit:.
Either one will be a fun way to hold you over till your trip, but Passporter's would be my suggestion (and yes it has been out since early Dec.) Hope this helped. Have a wonderful trip!

I too only use unofficial and passporter. Our AAA agent gives us a free unofficial when we book. I like the passporter best because it can be written in. As I read about dinning options, I can make notes. when I make ressies, there is a place to put it. I use it for generalized itinerary plans. We take it to the parks, it holds receipts. I track mileage and gas in it (from our trip). I find it to be very versatile.

I usually get them all to check out every year. I know Birnbaum releases theirs in Oct. of each year.
Have any of you ever read Disney on a Dime? I found out a while back that my agency is actually mentioned in there. Pretty cool....:sohappy:

That was the first book I bought. It is OK for different reasons than the normal planning books. It's geared towards saving for paying and reducing costs for the trip. A friend is borrowing right now, or I could give specific examples of good, helpful tips or duplicated information that I have found from you guys here.

While that is very cool, I found that to be one of the worst guidebooks out there - many inaccuracies, and the author wasn't very receptive to constructive feedback.
I recommend:
- Unofficial Guide
- Passporter
- Either one of Anne Easterling's books - The EZ Fun Guide to Walt Disney World or her new Mouse Map book.
