The Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World 2010 by Bob Sehlinger with Len Testa

I found this guide reasonbly helpful and entertaining. I do think the hysteria about reservations is a bit over blown (for example, they recommend getting Coral Reef reservations at least 180 days out, but we've had no problems less than 90 days from our trip), and, although we haven't been to Disney World for five or six years, I think the hysteria about how *full* the parks are is a bit overblown as well. The touring plans are for the most part solid, but with the addition of the fastpass system (wherein you make an appointment for a riding time and then ride almost immediately at that time), I think some of the congestion in the parks has eased a little. That said, the strength of the guide is its humorous, yet appreciative descriptions of the rides, the restaurants, and the hotels. The tone makes this book enjoyable reading.
