I'm torn over how much I like this version of the Disney Character Encyclopedia. I bought my daughter the 2009 edition, but decided to get the updated one to use as an autograph book for our upcoming WDW trip.Pros:It includes a lot of the new characters, from Frozen, Planes, Up, and even The Pirate Fairy.I personally like the clean new style of the pages, particularly the solid band of color on the side with the character's names - it makes it very easy to flip through to the right page.They removed some of the more obscure characters that I just don't care about (does anyone even remember the names of the "Dinosaurs" characters?)The hardbound edition is nice, & the book jacket can help keep your book from getting dinged. The pages also seem a little thicker and nicer quality, but that may just be an age issue.Cons:My 12yo daughter much prefers the old style, with each character having a font that fits them or their movie style.The old edition had more fun facts about the characters, including things like their favorite colors, etc. The new version seems like a little bit drier read.I miss the 2-page spreads for main characters. Especially using this as an autograph book, that extra space was nice.Some people may be upset about the characters that were removed. There's no page for the Prince from Snow White or most of the Neverland Fairies, both of which are still available for autographs occasionally.I haven't actually weighed the books, but the new version seems a little heavier. This may not be a problem if you're just using it as a normal book at home, but lugging it around the parks may get cumbersome. (I plan to carry ours in a stroller.)Overall I like the book and if you don't have access to the older edition I'd definitely say it's worth getting. But honestly I wish they'd found a better compromise between the 2 editions. Ideally I'd combine them and make one that would work better for my purposes. Or better yet, if Disney had made this book with the intention of it being used for autographs and kept all of the older characters from the parks along with the new additions, I would love it.
Great book, that is very up to date on Disney MOVIE Characters. We bought this book and used it as an autograph book for our daughter on our most recent Disney World trip. Using this book worked out MUCH better than using the generic Disney autograph books we used in the past. The book contains artwork of the characters along with facts based on the movies they appeared in. Only downfall to this book was that it does NOT contain any Disney Television characters, such as Sophia and Doc McStuffin. Still, an outstanding book and worked much better than the flimsy, generic autograph books. I'll recommend this book to all my friends who are planning to go to WDW and seek out autographs.
I bought this for our trip to Disney World this summer. We are going to use it as our autograph book, as I had seen others suggest with previous versions. I am happy that some newer characters (Anna and Elsa, etc) are included. However, I was sad to see some other popular characters missing such as Phineas, Ferb, Sophia the First, Doc McSuffins, etc. This book certainly isn't all-inclusive. We are just going to have the characters not included sign the front or back cover pages.As far as the book quality, it is very nice. The book is neatly laid out, colorful and visually appealing. Each character included has a page dedicated to them with a short paragraph description. Some have trivia questions, fun facts or quotes also included on the page. It is arranged in alphabetical order so all characters in the same film are not together. I prefer this, as it makes it easier to find each character quickly. There is also an index for quick reference. The book is hardcover and the pages are thick, so I suspect it will get heavy in WDW, but we are looking forward to adding some signatures to the encyclopedia! Overall, I think it is a quality book.
Love these. Took them to Disney for the characters to autograph. So much better than he Olin old autograph book.
This is a big book in comparison to the "Official Disney" autograph books. I like the idea, and I think this is a good souvenir for my daughter. However, hauling this thing around was a pain.**Tips**1. There is no way to store a pen with this thing. I wish that I had made some sort of pen attachment for this (perhaps a loop of ribbon glued to the cover.) I wasted a lot of time digging around in the bottom of my bag for the stupid pen.3. Sharpie works best, but you can't buy a Sharpie anywhere on the Disney property. Bring a spare. (Other things you can't buy at Disney: a sewing kit to reattach a button, a screw for your eye glasses, a patch if your stroller tire springs a leak.)4. Characters often come in pairs, so add some bookmarks to flip between their pages easily. We used the neck ribbon from a lanyard. The attendant for Cinderella and Rapunzel was impressed and somewhat relieved by the presence of the bookmarks.5. You'll meet some characters who aren't in the book. We met Rabbit when we met Pooh and Tigger. I had Rabbit sign the back fly leaf, and I plan to print out some Rabbit clip-art to glue in there.
Great as an autograph book for Disney. We took the book jacket off and left it at home and kept it in a bag for autographs. Sharpies worked great they did not bleed through the page. The only disappointing thing was the book does not have any of the disney junior characters (sofia, jake, doc)
This is a great book, used as an autograph book at Disney World last month. It's a great ice breaker if your child is shy for the characters - "We've been reading your story..." Nice way to prep kids before the trip so they know who they are meeting. And when you're waiting in line to meet a character, reading the book gives you something to do. My 3 year old son really loved finding the right page and seeing the real character right in front of him. Got many comments from characters and photographers on what a cool idea this is.
