    I have to say that I'm a Birnbaum's fan and can't go a year without purchasing it. I also do like Passporter, but haven't gotten around to get the new one yet.

    I used the Unofficial guide and liked it. And I don't think they hate WDW, they are critical of things but that's what a good guide book should do: critique the subject, not just give descriptions.

    The unofficial guide all the way, because I want more than the official line.

    Also because I like the WuffoWorld cartoons.

    Birnbaum's is great for the pictures, but not for tips & info. Unofficial Guide all the way! I read the 2003 edition cover to cover (I had jury duty and wasn't called, so I sat there for about 6 hours with the book). It has so much info for the first-timers and their suggested tours are good.

    I like both Birnbaum's official guide (more like a magazine) and Frommer's Unofficial Guide (which is a lot more comprehensive, almost like a dictionary).
    I take the info. from both guides with a grain of salt.
    My mother-in-law and father-in-law are accompanying us to Disney this year, so I let them borrow Birnbaum's. I certainly don't want to load them down with all the stuff in the Unofficial Guide, although I've found it to be very informative, interesting and entertaining. I don't get the feeling they hate Disney, they're just a bit on the cynical side (kinda like a lot of teenagers!)
