This book is part of the "Unofficial Guide" series of books, a spin-off from the main guide. I liked this guide and would recommend it highly to those planning to visit Disney without kids in tow. Having said that, I can't give it 5 stars because of some errors and omissions that I noted in even a casual reading. For example, I could not find a review of mention of Whispering Canyon Cafe at Disney Wilderness Lodge. The restaurant section seemed like it was missing a number of fairly popular places. Maybe the author felt these places were not of interest to adults-only parties. Also, the only Disney hotels discussed are the high end hotels. Yes, adults probably don't want to stay at the budget end hotels that are packed with kids, but what about the mid-level Disney hotels, Coronado Springs, Port Orleans and others? Those are all missing from this book.
