We get a ton of mail from both our Disneyland and Walt Disney World read-
ers—98% of it positive—commenting on our touring plans. First, from a family of
four from West Chester, Pennsylvania:
This topic and your touring plans, without a doubt, made the trip. We followed the
adult one-day plans almost to the letter. Probably the longest line we stood in was
30 minutes max during one of the [busiest] times of the year. The key was getting to
the parks 30 minutes or so before opening. The plans also saved arguing over what
to do next. We simply followed the guide. We are believers!
A family from Stockton, California, descended on Disneyland Park over the
Easter holiday:
We're not much for plans and regimentation, so we winged it the first day. It was so
awful that the next day we gave one of your itineraries a shot as sort of a last-ditch
alternative. It worked so well that I was telling strangers about it that night like [I
was] some kind of Bible thumper.
A mom from Aurora, Colorado, offered this:
We went to WDW in 2007, and I didn't use the touring plans provided because, with
my kids, I didn't think the extra walking would be worth it. I decided to try out the
plans in Disneyland when it was just my mom and me without the kids. It was great.
I was amazed that when I got to the point where it said, “Now might be a good time
to grab lunch,” it was 11:15 a.m. We are going to WDW in November with the kids,
and I have already put together all our touring plans from your book!
From a mom in South Jordan, Utah:

daily itineraries and your Cars Land advice. Thanks to Fastpasses and baby switch

From a Chicago mom:
I was caught off guard while flipping through the topic at how many people were
complaining about the rigidity of the daily touring plans. I feel strongly that you
have to go into a Disney trip with a firm plan or else all you will remember of your
vacation will be the squabbles and the long lines! The daily touring plans not only
allowed me to see everything that I wanted but even allowed me time to revisit my
favorite attractions multiple times! Those who complain that the touring plans are
