I found this book very informative and up to date. I have been planning our Florida vacation for some time and found most information a little outdated. What I really wanted was the most current information on the newest theme park experience in Orlando. After reading this book, and taking many notes from each chapter, I feel I am ready to tackle the Escape! Monaghan gives timely information on rides, itineraries, and ways to save precious vacation time, to get the most out of your travel day. It is by far the most up to date of all travel guidebooks I've read. I recommend it for anyone planning a Universal Studio's and Islands of Adventure vacation.

Universal Orlando 2011: The Ultimate Guide to the Ultimate Theme Park Adventure Review

I have never been to Universal Orlando, although I have been to Universal Hollywood a couple of times. All of my Orlando trips, of which there have been several, have always been Mouse-oriented. Now that Universal has added The
Wizarding World of Harry Potter to its many themes, my friend and I are planning a trip for early 2011.
However, I couldn't find any book that even mentioned the new Wizarding World. Until this one. I believe it's the first.
I read the book from cover to cover, and the Harry Potter section over and over. There are many typos and grammatical mistakes all the way through the book, and I found that distracting. However, the information in the book was so valuable, the editor in me has to let those mistakes slide.
This is truly a valuable book. I now know how to buy my tickets, approximately how much they're going to cost, how many days we're probably going to need, and how many days it'll take us to see the things we want to see. I even discovered that there's a Men in Black themed ride inside Universal. And that's just the info I was looking for.

Beyond Disney: The Unofficial Guide to Universal Orlando ,SeaWorld and the Best of Central Florida (Unofficial Guides) Review

Beyond Disney is meant to be used as a second guide when planning a trip to Orlando. They assume that you have purchased The Unofficial Guide Walt Disney World 2010 (Unofficial Guides) or something similar and are using this one for the other theme parks in the area. This is a good idea but there are some problems with it. First, the Universal Parks are already covered in the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World and that material is largely dropped in here with no significant changes. So if you have the Unofficial WDW book, then you don't need to see that again here.
The main value in this book lies in the coverage of Sea World and Busch Gardens. Both are major theme parks and get full coverage here. I found the Busch Gardens information especially helpful. Busch has so many attractions that you can't possibly enjoy every one in a single day and this guide will help you focus on what you might enjoy the most. This is the only book in the Unofficial Guide series where you'll find material on Busch and Sea World, and many of the other publishers ignore those parks completely. If you are interested in attending either park, then I highly recommend Beyond Disney. If you plan to stick to WDW and/or the Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure area then you can safely skip this.
