I think waiting for the new edition will be cutting things a bit closely. As with any guidebook, the sooner you have it in hand, the better your plans can be. The vast majority of the information in our current guide will still be useful and accurate (prices change, operating hours change, the location of Matterhorn and the functionality of our PassPockets don't).

Yes, it's true that things have changed a bit since 2006. For those relatively few things that have changed, updates are available (and will continue to be available).
Looking over our online updates list, it looks like it can use a bit of additional updating. I'll see what we can do to get that fixed-up real soon.

I understand that folks shouldn't have to stand for anything less than 100% accuracy. However, I know of no source that is ever 100% authoritative, including web sites - web sites, too, must be updated by human beings if they are to remain fresh. That's why researchers depend on multiple sources of information.

There are newer editions of the Birnbaum's and Unofficial Guides out there. They'd be fine supplements to our first edition, or useful in their own right if you'd prefer to limit your purchases. Our regular readers know that we don't hesitate to recommend those books in our own books. We also list huge numbers of web sites in our books. Knowledge is power, and we respect our readers need for as much information as possible.

Folks may choose to not buy a book due to its publication date, but I think "refuse" suggests that someone is insisting that the book be purchased. That's something that anyone who knows us ought to know we don't do.
