As you'd expect, the 2021 edition was a challenge to write. Besides describing how Disney's operating during the pandemic, we had to look ahead through the end of 2021, including what currently discontinued programs (such as FastPass+) might return.We had a couple of options here: One was to remove from the book information on things that were not currently being offered, like FastPass+. The problem with that was that if Disney brought FastPass+ back, the book wouldn't give any guidance on it.
We decided to keep as much information as possible in the book, figuring that if anything did return, the book would be ready to help. For some things, such as the touring plans, the 2021 edition's updates went with the current state of the parks: no FastPass+. As always, our free touring plan software can be used if that changes.

More Walt Disney World Unofficial Guides
As thorough as we try to make The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World - the "Big Book" - there isn't sufficient space for all the tips and valuable information that may be important and useful to certain readers. Thus, we've developed additional Disney World guides, each designed to work in conjunction with the Big Book. All provide information tailored to specific Disney World visitors.

The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World Color Companion, 4th editionWalt Disney World is a destination that must be seen to be appreciated. With that in mind, we give you the Color Companion. What is The Color Companion? How is it different from The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World? 1. It Really Is a Companion The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World gives you a deep dive on all aspects of your trip, from pricing, how to get around, the best places to eat, and all the little things that will help you plan the best vacation ever. The Color Companion is the latte you treat yourself with after all the planning to remind yourself that you're going on to Walt Disney World and it's going to be amazing. Settle in with photos of the fantastic hotel you've booked, the great meal you've planned, and the attractions you love. 2. This Guide Has a Sense of Humor There is a plentiful assortment of dry, plodding travel guides for readers who would prefer to know how many rivets there are in a flying elephant than to have a good chuckle. As for us, we’re all about providing excellent information and having some fun. No useful information was sacrificed to make room for humor in the Companion. We nailed down the essential content first and then added artistic and humorous elements to make the Companion a zippier and more enjoyable read. So, if you can tolerate a little irreverence, parody, and general wackiness, the Color Companion will serve you well. 3. Sometimes We’ll Pull Your Leg We might describe a fantasy resort that’s 100 feet underground with rock-chiseled furniture and an occasional mole in the guestrooms, or an octopus sandwich with tentacles everywhere and malevolent eyes peeking from between the buns. We’re pretty good at this, and sometimes we might fool you for a minute, but to make sure you don’t call Disney reservations and attempt to book a room, or try to order the octopus sandwich at the theme park, we’ve included this little icon to signal that we’ve taken a brief break from reality.

Beyond Disney: The Unofficial Guide to Universal Orlando, SeaWorld & The Best of Central Florida 9th editionIncludes comprehensive coverage on the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Both Universal Orlando and SeaWorld remain in the top theme parks to visit in the United States - each with attendance of almost 5 million per year. There’s Another World Out There If you think that central Florida consists only of Walt Disney World, you’re wrong. What’s more, you’re passing up some great fun and amazing sights. Admittedly, it’s taken a while, but Walt Disney World now has plenty of competition that measures up toe-to-toe. And though it may sound blasphemous to suggest a whole vacation in central Florida without setting foot on Disney property, it’s not only possible but also in many ways a fresh and appealing idea. The big four non-Disney theme parks are Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure, SeaWorld, and Busch Gardens. Each is unique. Universal Studios Florida, a longtime rival of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, draws its inspiration from movies and television and is every bit the equal of the Disney movie-themed park. Universal Islands of Adventure is arguably the most modern, high-tech theme park in the United States, featuring an all-star lineup of thrill rides that make it the best park in Florida for older kids and young-at-heart adults. SeaWorld provides an incomparable glimpse into the world of marine mammals and fish, served up in a way that (for the most part) eliminates those never-ending lines. Finally, Busch Gardens, with its shows, zoological exhibits, and knockout coasters, offers the most eclectic entertainment mix of any theme park we know. All four parks approximate, equal, or exceed the Disney standard without imitating Disney, successfully blending distinctive presentations and personalities into every attraction.
