1. On my two week journey to Miami I used this guide as a supplemental fill-in guide to Frommer's South Florida. Broken into four regions: Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Palm Beach and the Keys, this Zagat Survey will save you time (and disappointment) by helping you select the best place to feast.
   
   I have used other Zagat Surveys for years and have found them to be up-to-date and reliable in their critical evaluation of a restaurant's food, ambiance and service. Scoring 1-30 in each category (food, decor, service), a restaurant's top score in each category can be 30. The "Chef Allen's" Restaurant (Miami) scored 27, 23, 25 . . . the highest score in Miami. The remaining restaurants in Miami have a flagship to follow. One of the most useful features is the guide's "Top Rating" sections: Top Food by Cuisine, Best Buys, Most Popular, Top Outdoor, Top Romantic, Top Views, etc.
   
   This is a very good pocket guide and, if there is a downside, it is the lack of maps. Of the four profiled areas, only Miami and Ft. Lauderdale get two small maps each, showing on the map the 40 most popular restaurants in each area. Another area that may disappoint some is the terse 50 word description for each restaurant, a brief narrative that fails to mention any outstanding restaurant dishes. If you are looking for a fuller restaurant description, for a few select South Florida restaurants, I commend to you "Frommer's South Florida" travel guide. This guide is best for those that live in Miami. That said, Zagat has been, and is, a great dining guide for these areas. Recommended!

1. This book has a good deal of information and some very interesting stories, but Zibart's writing style leaves a lot to be desired. I found myself rereading some paragraphs four or five times and still I had no idea what she was trying to say. Does the publisher not employ editors?



2. This book has a wealth of info on Disney World, how, where, when, and why it was built and how it's run. There's also lot's of great information on the company behind the World, it's other businesses and corporate culture. My wife and I found it very interesting and a nice way of closing out our recent trip to Disney World.



3. The book was very informative as well as humorous. We did not plan our vacation around the book, but it gave us detailed information about each ride, show, and restaurant. It came most in handy when deciding where to eat. (The book also contained information on sites outside WDW)



4. This book gives an interesting look at the inner workings and evolution of Walt Disney World. From the way the land was aquired, to the way the garbage is disposed. My only problem with the book is the detail. There are a lot of interesting topics and information, but there is much more to this story than 200 + pages of tidbits. It longs for a sequel to be written, on almost every chapter. Buy this book if you are a Disney Information Addict.

1. I bought this book and thoroughly enjoyed every page! The information is excellent, and will assist you with everything you need to know about Orlando, and Walt Disney World. The tips are very helpful, and will provide the opportunity to make the most out of your stay. Orlando, and Walt Disney World need such publications to help travelers navigate the area and attractions! If you are planning a vacation to Orlando, or Walt Disney World-I highly recommend this book as part of your luggage.
