As a nearly lifelong Disney fan, travel agent, WDW Moms Panel alumni and avid reader, I was pleasantly surprised by a new book on Walt Disney World that I recently read. “Kid Tips for Walt Disney World: Touring Advice by Kids for Kids” offers exactly what the cover promises.
Inside, you’ll discover tips written by children from all over the world. The book is organized in a child-friendly format with chapters broken down into suggestions on preparing for your trip, the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, Water Parks, Downtown Disney, the resorts, character meals and special events.
My ten year old son enjoyed reading the tips, especially the ones made by his age-appropriate peers. What author Tracie Cook offers is a book for children with tips that are equally helpful for the adults in the family. For example, even though I consider myself a seasoned Walt Disney World visitor, it’s eye-opening to read what restaurants kids find memorable such as the Biergarten in Germany.
My tween agrees with his peers that the Lego Imagination Center in Downtown Disney is a must see “attraction”. Sometimes families forget to slow down and visit these lesser known places. It’s a great reminder that within Walt Disney World there is something for everyone and it’s not always on a ride or at a show. As one tipster notes “there are the coolest games after you get off Spaceship Earth”. My son agrees that it’s not just the thrill rides that makes WDW magical.
“Kid Tips” helps families discover the magic of each resort. In this book you’ll find a place to go fishing and where to get your hair braided. Of course, the resort pools are top-rated hits as well.

I always advise families to make a list of their Must See attractions. This book is a great tool for getting the entire family involved in planning their WDW vacation. And kids can return from their vacation and submit their own ideas!
