Zagat Disneyland Insider's Guide 2010 Book

It's a good thing that the guide hammered it home a million times that we should arrive before opening time for the rope drop. I usually ignore that kind of advice, but glad I didn't. I was able to hit nearly all of the major rides + some minor attractions before 11 am, leave the park mid-day for a nap as recommended, and come back to round out the day with additional fastpasses, fireworks, parades, and short lines. On a Saturday during spring break season, no less! Highly recommend this book. I only had one meal at Disneyland Park, but ended up reading every review, and was overall impressed by the amount of thought and research that went into this guide book. You'll learn a bit of Disneyland history and politics. I didn't get a hint of bias as I read through it. Also, this book is not as serious and, in turn, antithetical to spontaneous Disney magic as it seems; there is a lot of humor sprinkled in. Highly recommend reading this book even if you've been to Disneyland before, as I have.
