User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Nice visuals, bad soundtrack, annoying corner logo
The visuals on this disc are very nice (don’t let the cheesy box art fool you), but the soundtrack is annoying. On the PS3, there is no way to jump forward to the next segment. Like another reviewer commented, every other segment has [...] in the bottom right corner for the length of the segment. If you’re purchasing a disc like this (for the visuals only as there is no story), such a logo is unacceptable.

1 Star No worth the time
This program is poorly designed. It focus on details that are not significant to the place it tries to show. like two horses in the field for two minutes, waves that could be anywhere in the world. You need to actually have visited the place in order to recognize it. It discourage me to physically be in those places after viewing this video.

5 Stars BLUE-RAY DOES FOR DVD’S WHAT CD’S HAD DONE FOR CASSTTES
IF YOU THOUGHT THAT HIGH DEF COULDN’T GET ANY BETTER….THAN TREAT YOURSELF TO BLU-RAY. NOT ONLY IS THE VIDEO AWESOME BUT YOU REALIZE THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE BEE’S FLYING HUNDREDS OF FEET BEHIND THE MAIN IMAGE. SIMPLY INCREDIBLE.

3 Stars Pretty, please …
The images are beautiful, but move quickly from one shot to the next. My benchmark is the Discovery Channel’s “Sunrise” series.

The only real disappointment was the ‘Wyndham Hill’ soundtrack. the natural ambient sound would have been so much better.

2 Stars Misleading title and disappointing videography
Many other places in the world I have seen in real life or in standard definition videos looked much better than what are captured with the high resolution footages on this blue-ray DVD. Sure the image quality is good simply because it is recorded in high definition. There are a few nice scenes but overall the contents are poor, nowhere near the quality and depth of any National Geographic video.

5 Stars Disney World Bucks
This product is very comprehensive and well worth the money. Not only can you lay out your trip ahead of time, but the comparative expenses make it easy to budget for a vacation. I would like to have had it before I went - good information.

3 Stars Disney Official Guide
Good basic book about the WDW complex if you want a nice over view. Weak on specifics but help to some degree.

5 Stars A little more help every time.
We have traveled to Disney World 6 times with family members. I have bought this book each year we have traveled and there are always new helpful ideas.

3 Stars Helpful but thin
I had bought this book several years back and it seems it was cheaper and packed with alot more information. Although this addition was still helpful it wasn’t as packed full of information as I had hoped.

5 Stars A Birnbaum Best!
This guide helped me plan my Disney trip in great detail before we even left! I stayed up late at night reading it- I couldn’t put it down. Ridiculous, I know, but it is worth the money. Not full of “Disney Secrets” but with practical information and maps.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Wonderful!
We go to Disney every year…and every year I buy this book! I love how it’s a resource, organizer and journal all in one. I usually take all my other park books to Half-price books afterward, but not this one! I have rows of them on my bookshelves. I sometimes go back to see what we’ve done and what we thought of certain restaurants.

The authors did an excellent job! It’s WELL worth the money!!

5 Stars The maps alone are worth the price!
I bought this as one of three books to prepare for our Disney trip. I love all things Disney so it was fun to read a travel guide written by a Disney fanatic. Here are the highlights of this guide:

The MAPS: these are the best WDW maps that I have come across for planning your schedule! They are detailed but not convoluted, and seem to be much more drawn to scale than Disney’s own maps that you can order customized from the website.

The REVIEWS: she includes reviews of every eatery and attraction including a rating from herself, her husband, and her readers. She also includes comments from her teenager, tween, and toddler about some attractions!

The PICTURES: unlike other travel guides, she includes candid photos of the snapshot variety (from her own trips and probably from readers) and the pics are in full color. The pics really give you a more personal feel than the typical travel guide glossy photos or no photos (as in one of my guidebooks).

The DETAILS: she really seems to leave no stone unturned, like which specific rooms in each resort have the best views!

While I enjoyed all three of my Disney travel guides, this is my favorite. If you can only buy one, THIS IS THE ONE YOU WANT!!!

5 Stars Great Guide!
I bought this on a recommendation–and I loved it! Very informative and helpful to navigate the Disney parks and food options!

5 Stars Great Guide and Keepsake
This is one must-have for Disney Vacation Planning. Its got a wonderful way of listing all the attractions and reviews. The maps could be slightly better though..a little bit bigger maybe.

The Yellow journal pages are great and the pockets to keep tidbits is a brilliant idea… especially for someone like me who likes to save every tiny scrap of memory.

4 Stars Great for Out-Of-Staters
This would be a great first-time planning guide for families from out-of-state who are making Disney World their vacation destination, and are planning on spending the majority of their time on Disney property. Great for planning an itinerary and budget, right down to accommodations and meal planning. Has lots of little pockets for storing tickets, reservation confirmations and receipts. I don’t think Florida residents who have been to WDW multiple times would find this book very useful.

3 Stars The uber-dip you must pass up
A couple of things to point out. The Blu-Ray in this release is a new remaster from the previous blu-ray so it will look better and it has a number of special features never before available (mainly a picture in picture behind-the-scenes sort of thing). Just because this release is remastered doesn’t mean the visuals are going to be perfect. The source material has inherent grain from the film used in the release. It will still look great, but don’t expect crystal clarity. This Blu-Ray release will also have its own single disk release so you can get the new remaster without the expensive packaging.

So what else does this collector’s edition give you? Well it gives you what’s been out there for years. You get the Ultimate Edition DVD set and the Extreme Edition DVD set with all of the special features of each. You heard me the DVDs… as in not high definition. This particular release is just for the people out there who absolutely must have a Limited Edition Terminator 2 Complete Collector’s Set with little head package and all. The rest of us already have these DVDs. And if you don’t you really need to think about it. Is it worth spending $120+ for something you can get for $50 or less if you purchased the disks separately? The new T2 Blue-Ray should be had for less than $30 and the DVDs you can get for $10 or less at any local Best Buy, Target, Wal Mart, etc.

Save your money. If you really want an endoskeleton head invest in a ceramic bust or PVC statue instead. They would make better displays anyway.

4 Stars Another Edition Again??
Gosh in my entire DVD collections, Terminator 2 is the worst one as I spent so much on double/triple dipping from the Ultimate Edition to the Black Edition to the Extreme Edition…

When it was initially released in Blu-ray, I got it though knowing it has no extended scenes. Now here comes another edition that will suck our money again!

I really hate such marketing plot but being a T2 fan, I just can’t help it…Geez if they release another edition again I shall go nuts!!

5 Stars Not (yet) sure about the quaity or price
As of today this package is only available for pre-order and we don’t know if the skull is metal or plastic. I wouldn’t mind paying $120 for these disks if the skull was metal. However, if it is just plastic then I’d want all the Terminator movies from T1 to T4.

(p.s. I think the Terminator franchise is taking a page from the Blade Runner franchise with their 5-disk ultimate set which came with Decker’s Briefcase. That kit was introduced at over $80 but eventually came down to the mid $50 range. Since BR only one movie in several versions, they had to bring it out with extras in 5 disks)

5 Stars Cool pack, but for this price I will hold on.
Did they know US is in recession? My suggestion is hold on until it goes to $40.

1 Star This looks like a huge ripoff
Has any body else noticed that the only thing new in this collectors set is the skynet edition and the endoskull. The extreme and ultimate editions seem to be on regular dvd, I would guess a lot of us already own them. While it would be cool to have the skull, I just can’t see spending all that money.
