Get Ready for Disney in 2027 with the New Unofficial Guides
A Disney vacation should feel exciting, not confusing. But planning a trip can be hard. Families must choose travel dates, tickets, hotels, dining, rides, and transportation. They also need to understand changing reservation rules and line-skipping options.
The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World 2027, releasing August 18th, and The Unofficial Guide to Disneyland 2027, releasing September 22nd, are arriving at just the right times. Both books give Disney travelers the clear, independent advice they need to plan smarter trips in 2027.
Two Disney Destinations, Two Essential Guides
Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, is a huge vacation destination with four theme parks, water parks, Disney Springs, and more than 30 hotels. Its size makes advance planning important. Visitors need help choosing where to stay, how to get around, and how to make the most of each park day.
Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California, is smaller and easier to walk. Still, its two parks—Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure—can be busy, especially during weekends, holidays, and special events. Disneyland visitors must also manage their park reservations, mobile tools, dining, and Lightning Lane choices.
Each Unofficial Guide focuses on the details that matter most.
Independent Disney Planning Advice, Backed by Data
These are not official Disney guidebooks. The authors and research teams work independently and pay for the hotels, meals, tickets, and experiences they review. That means readers get honest feedback about rides, restaurants, resorts, ticket options, and travel costs.
Both 2027 guides use crowd projections, real wait-time data, reader surveys, and on-the-ground research. They explain how to spend less time standing in line and more time enjoying favorite attractions.
Readers can learn when to arrive for rope drop, when to use mobile ordering, how Lightning Lane works, and which hotels offer the best value. They can also find practical advice for families with young children, teens, grandparents, and first-time visitors.
Disney Travel Experts Readers Can Trust
The authors are experienced Disney travel experts. The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World 2027 is written by Becky Gandillon, Bob Sehlinger, and Len Testa. The Unofficial Guide to Disneyland 2027 is written by Seth Kubersky, Bob Sehlinger, Len Testa, and Guy Selga Jr.
Their expertise comes from years of park visits, detailed research, guest feedback, and data analysis. They know that a great Disney vacation is not the same for every traveler. A family with toddlers, a couple celebrating an anniversary, and a group of thrill-seeking teens all need different plans.
