Much of what is in this book is not particularly original. Every book on the market in reference to Disney Parks offers a much better summary. I used this book on a recent trip to DisneyWorld and didn’t find it useful.

This book is among the good ones out there that give you information on Disney World. I felt the book would have been better had it been two totally different books. One on Disney World and one on Disney Land. Enjoyable reading just the same.

This book is a “must have” for any Disney enthusiast. You may or may not personally approve of the gay-lesbian life style, but regardless of that, this book is guaranteed to make you laugh. Keep in mind that this book is a serious guide book, thus it has tons of information about the Disney parks and is very informative. But just as you’ve learned something educational, the authors throw in some information that will have you laughing at everything you see. I can guarantee that you’ll never look at the Disney parks in the same way that you did in the past!

Queens in the Kingdom is a perfect overview of Disney and a great read by the hilarious authors Jeffrey Epstein and Eddie Shapiro. The book is chock-full of helpful information and martini-dry witticisms.
While planning my next trip to Disney, the book helped me pick between two hotels on property I was considering, Animal Kingdom Lodge and the Wilderness Lodge (you have to read the book to find out which hotel they prefer and why). The book is also filled with many fun “Fairy Facts” – clever bits of trivia following many of their reviews.
In sum, if you want an informative and fun Disney Guide, this book is for you.

We bought this book based on an article we read about Disney guide books. I’m so glad we did! It surpassed my expectations! Maybe I should say up front that I’m hetero, so I can’t be a good judge on the information focusing on the best gay friendly clubs and hot spots. But as a Disney park fan, I’m a very good judge on that focus on the book. The writing style is very funny, including the quotes from other people, and I enjoyed how it speaks to the reader as an adult. Plus, even though I have been to Disney World 30 times and read a number of other books, QUEENS still gave me new information. That includes a way to save money on park tickets if you’re someone who visits Disney often. Thanks, Jeffrey and Eddie! Like someone said, the maps are very simplistic, but this didn’t bother me. I wasn’t looking for that kind of thing; after all, I can get interactive ones and ones I can customize for us for free on disney.com, so it didn’t affect my review. This is not a book to plan your day, telling you to go here, do this and then that, but an insight into rides, dining, and atmosphere. I’ve already recommended this book to my family and friends who are both gay and straight.
