Picked this one up yesterday, per Carol's recommendation. :)

Though I have picked up similar books in the past (for the trip 10 years 
ago), I don't follow the touring programs.  We've generally had more time 
than the tours listed in the books, and I'd rather take things as it comes 
rather than plot everything out down to the second.  Basically, I'm going 
to chart out the days we can get early into which parks, but I'm mainly 
trying to get up to speed on what the attractions are, rough geographical 
approximation, etc.
Besides, both Birnbaum and Fodor's rank "Journey Into Imagination" for 
adults very low, yet this was my favorite EPCOT attraction, as well as my 
mother's!  So, I take the suggestions for what I feel they're worth.

I've found out that it will be unlimited access to such things, so I 
figure we'll take advantage of those things as well.  My mother is telling 
everyone they better bring swimsuits, and my husband has decided we're 
going horseback riding.

Why the exclusion?  That was one of the things I thought we might want to 
partake in.

Okey-doke!  Thanks!
