Hoping to get some travel guide book suggestions for the Orlando area and possibly the Miami area.

I know going to Orlando isn't "rocket surgery" like going to Asia or Europe but I was hoping to buy a book with good tips and tricks to avoid line ups, has a few decent restaurant suggestions if we get in a jam, etc. Not interested in hotel suggestions. We'll obviously do some research online also but like to use a guide book as a starting point.

We kind of like a "Rick Steves" type format if there is an equivalent for Orlando. Normally, we typically buy Frommers and/or Lonely Planet but find them really hit or miss.

TIA.

Have you looked at the Fodors books? They are quite thorough, but a little less budget-minded than Frommers and certainly less so than Rick Steves or Lonely Planet. Nevertheless, they are very thorough. You can get a feel for their book here http://tinyurl.com/cedph3

Time permitting, I would encourage you to also go to Fodors Travel Talk Forums for specific questions and answers from other Orlando visitors and local area residents <http://tinyurl.com/2hujw>. You can get detailed information not always available in any Orlando book.

Good luck and have fun with your trip. It's not really that complicated.
