1: recommend buying before any Disney Park trip
My husband and I were introduced to these Unofficial Guides when we bought one before going to Walt Disney World on our honeymoon back in the 1990's. That guide was spectacular and very helpful! Just last week my spouse, our kids, and I went to Disneyland and of course I bought the Unofficial Guide to Disneyland to take with us. It was very helpful when planning our 3 day park hopper vacation with the kids. My husband and I had not been to Disneyland for about 20 years and I was expecting some changes. Having the guide really helped plan our way around the park. I recommend these Unofficial Guides to anyone who is planning on a trip to any Disney Park!! The guides really keep you out of the long lines and help you navigate your way through the maze of lands and rides.

3: Ex Disney Employee says "This book rocks"
I worked for Disney in "the Park," selling skulls and snakes in Adventureland-- right next to the Jungle Cruise at the palm-roofed hut that was once called "Tropical Imports." This was during my undergrad years at the University of California (translation: I worked at Disneyland, and I'm smart). I was born in Santa Monica, my parents met during a dance night at Carnation Gardens in Disneyland, and my dad and his wife still have annual passes to the park (translation: in case there was any doubt, I know what I'm taking about), yet I still learned many valuable things from this book; it rocks.
This book is such a contribution! I recommend it to every person who's headed to the park. Buy it and take it with you-- follow the advice. The only time-honored recommendations this book somehow misses are:
1. Grab a few mini bourbon bottles on the plane ride to California - they're perfect for spiking mint juleps at the Blue Bayou (no alcohol is served at the Magic Kingdom - DCA across the street is the closest supplier).
2. Bran muffins, power bars, and canned coffee drinks are the breakfast of Disney champions. Throw a few in your backpack and gnaw on them at 7:45am when you're waiting for the ropes to drop.
3. Bring a water bottle
4. Wash your hands - ask park employees and they'll tell you they wash their hands BEFORE and after using the facilities. You don't know who grabbed that _______ just before you did.
5. Load up everything you'll carry with you to the park, wear the shoes you're planning on, get junior in the stroller, put on the sunscreen, and take a 5+ mile walk every Saturday the three weekends prior to your departure. Either that or run 10Ks every weekend - one way or the other you'll remember to bring the ibuprofen.
Enjoy!

4: well worth it
bought this before our trip and it was well worth it - saves you ALOT of time!

5: Don't do Disney without it!
Love it, love it! I actually just purchased my second one - this one as a gift. Being raised in California, I had been to Disneyland more times than I could count. But someone suggested this book to me to plan a seamless first time trip for my best friend. I would not have done the trip without it! I reccomend this to anyone planning a first time trip, if you have never been it can be quite overwhelming: you will waste most of your trip wandering around and waiting in queues. Families will especially find the ratings guide handy when planning which rides would best keep the kiddies entertained.
