First-hand experiences like these, accumulated over the years, make this book the most authoritative guide to Walt Disney World.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e Our expertise, however, is not achieved by being escorted through back doors of attractions (although we would enjoy that). Instead, we wait in lines with everyone else, always hoping to have a Disney experience like that of any other guest. While Walt Disney World has vastly expanded, and so has our knowledge of the most popular vacation destinations on the planet.
