Thanks for subscribing to the Disney Tourist Blog email newsletter! Your support really does mean a lot to us. As a thank you to our readers, we are offering free Walt Disney World eBooks, which you can download on this page via the text links below (if you see ‘download’ images, those are ads–do not click those!).
These include our Walt Disney World Christmas eBook, plus our Money-Saving Walt Disney World Tips eBook and our Pandora – World of Avatar Expedition Guide eBook. You’re welcome to download one, two, or all three of these eBooks–all totally free!
We’ve created these eBooks because we wanted to offer a token of our appreciation to regular readers who have supported the site by reading our drivel day-in and day-out, through the bad jokes and the occasional good ones, and have just generally been loyal readers.
These eBooks are PDF files that are optimized for reading on an iPhone or iPad via iBooks, but since they are PDF files, you can also use a PC or virtually any other device with a screen. Each book is filled with useful tips and photos, and should be a fun way to prepare for (or relive!) your Walt Disney World vacation.
Please note that these eBooks have not been updated following the reopening of Walt Disney World. Too much is “temporarily abnormal” and changing regularly. We anticipate updating these eBooks again in November 2021, at which time things–including the upcoming holiday season–should mostly be back to normal.
First is our Vacation Kingdom at Christmas eBook (for those of you newbies, “The Vacation Kingdom of the World” is one of Walt Disney World’s nicknames, hence the title) is filled with 100 pages of photos, information, tips, and planning advice. This is basically an expanded version of our Ultimate Guide to Christmas at Walt Disney World post.
This version of the eBook has had a number of updates made to it for the Christmas season, including a chapter on Animal Kingdom’s all-new Merry Menagerie and other holiday offerings, expanded coverage of the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays, a fresh look at the Disney Springs Christmas Tree Trail, and more.
As you probably know, the holiday season is our favorite time of the year at Walt Disney World, and our goal with the eBook is to help you make the most of your visit during this incredible time of year. Or, if you’re not visiting this Christmas, give you a small dose of holiday cheer! 🙂

Next up is our Pandora Expedition Guide, released as a counterpart to our Ultimate Guide to Pandora – World of Avatar. Please note that the text of these eBook is almost identical to that guide, so if you’ve already read that and do not want to see any spoilers, you should AVOID this eBook.
The main reason we created this eBook was because our Pandora – World of Avatar posts have been and will continue to be spoiler-free for the foreseeable future, and many readers have requested photos of Pandora. It’s a truly gorgeous land, so this makes sense. Also, I’m really eager to share some of the photos I’ve captured in Pandora, so this seemed like a good way to share ~100 of them in an easy-to-read ~50 page eBook.
You can download your copy of our Pandora: World of Avatar eBook here:

Please note that due to bandwidth limitations, at periods of high traffic, this download may be temporarily suspended for up to 24 hours. If you receive an error message, please try back again ~24 hours later.
Finally, our Money-Saving Tips for Walt Disney World eBook…
Our Money Saving Tips for Walt Disney World eBook is 50+ pages, includes 70+ photos, when to visit Walt Disney World for the cheapest prices, where to stay to save money, whether the Disney Dining Plan and “Free” Dining are good deals, souvenirs to purchase before your trip to cut costs, specific restaurants at Walt Disney World that are less-expensive alternatives, and much more—everything from cheaper airfare to park tickets, we have you covered.
There are a lot of good tips for saving money in there, and pretty much everyone except Walt Disney World frugality ninjas will find some new and useful information in it. Please note that the eBook does not attempt to be a comprehensive all-in-one planning guide for Walt Disney World. Instead, it’s focused squarely on money-saving tips. Quite often, these overlap with general trip planning, but we’ve tried to keep things focused and concise.
You can download your copy of our Money-Saving Tips eBook here:

REMINDER: Bandwidth is limited on these eBooks, and once they have been downloaded ~1,200 times in a day, downloads will be capped for the rest of that day. We don’t anticipate hitting this cap, but if you have an issue downloading, that’s probably why.
If you have any questions, need assistance downloading, are unable to download the eBooks, or have thoughts/feedback on the eBook, please post below in the comments, and we will do our best to assist or respond as appropriate. Thanks again for reading Disney Tourist Blog!
We hope you enjoy the free Walt Disney World eBooks!

Hi Tom, download isn’t working for me. I’ve tried opening and right click saving and it says Failed -network error.
Is your internet connection good? I just downloaded it (the file is called “DTB Christmas eBook 2016 version 2.pdf”) and it took a long time–must be a big file.
No download for me either
Are you not seeing the red text link in the middle of the page, or is it giving an error message?
Hello Tom and Sarah,
The book is not available now, do you mind to send me a copy through email? Thanks!
Would I be able to get an email copy as well? Not working for me either
Thanks
Are you clicking the text link? People keep reporting issues, but when I test it, there are no problems whatsoever.
Thanks so much for the update!!! Going for my first Disney Christmas next week and this will come in handy!! 🙂
I can’t seem to download the ebook that was suppose to be available today at 6:00. Is it 6 PST or 6 EST.
It’s available now. Enjoy! 🙂
Downloaded both books as soon as I got the latest issue of your newsletter and I have to say, you have outdone yourself with these. Thank you thank you thank you for all the planning advice you provided while I was planning my first trip and now, my second.
P.S. I almost don’t dare say this, but you should be selling this. I was a member of a subscription Disney site before finding this one, and your site is hands down better.
Trying to finish up our planning still haven’t been able to read or download the money tips and savings one….we leave in 5 days, is this anywhere yet or can it be emailed to me? Appreciate all of your help and great insight it has helped us both last year and this year!
The link is included in the introduction email…did you get that?
If not, please send me an email ([email protected]) from the address you used to subscribe, and I’ll send you a link!
Thank you for the Christmas 2016 ebook! My family will be at DW Christmas week and it’s a great resource. I’m just starting to read it and just read that you say Christmas week is the worst time to be there because of the Pop Warner championship and cheerleading competitions. I did a cursory online search and see the dates of December 3-10 for Pop Warner in the area so thought I’d double check with you if I’m wrong??
Christmas week is the worst time to visit, but it’s not because of Pop Warner (which occurs the first full week of December). That first full week used to be the best week to go, but we hesitate to recommend it a bit because of Pop Warner. That week (December 3-10) is one of the better weeks to go, as long as you manage to avoid the Pop Warner crowds.
Hopefully that makes more sense.
Just downloaded it, link is working for me. Love it so far – great photos as always and tips I didn’t know.
I would love higher resolution photos. Any chance of that?
I wish I could include higher resolution photos. The problem with that is they take up significantly more space, meaning a 54 MB eBook instead of a 17 MB one. That’s larger than most people would like, and would be even more of a strain on bandwidth.
Until I’m able to release a coffee table book, I won’t be able to showcase the photos in their full, crisp detail.
Oh no, it’s only linking to the Christmas book. Was hoping for the Money Saving tips. LOL
Check back in a week or so. Due to bandwidth limitations, I can’t offer them simultaneously right now, but once the initial surge subsides for the Christmas eBook, I should be able to offer both at the same time. Sorry!
Awesome, thank you! I’ve been to Disney so many times. Yet Im using this site as a Bible! I’m obsessed with your Top 10s and Lists and Tips 🙂 So I can’t wait to read this book
I tried yesterday and today too and can’t get it to download.
Try refreshing the download page, and then clicking the link. It *should* be working now.
Love love love your blog. My family and I saved for 5 years to come to Disney world. Finally we are arriving in december all the from south africa . Your blog and all th info was invaluable in our planning for this trip. Thanks for the free ebook. Will try and download tomorrow. Also getting the error message
Wow. The cap has already been reached? Bummer ….
Sorry, I didn’t realize it would max out so fast–it should reset at midnight tonight!
Midnight- which time zone? Still getting error message.
You are too popular for your own good! (Or at least my good!) You’ve already reached the traffic limit at DropBox for the day! I’ll try again tomorrow 😀
Thanks Tom! I’m bringing my parents and kids the week after thanksgiving so I’m looking forward to all your holiday advice. Love your blog.
Hello,
I am trying to download the Money Saving Tips for Walt Disney World, but I keep getting a timed out error. Is there any way you can email me this document?
Dear Tom, I just want to give a HUGE THANK YOU for this! I´m from Argentina and since I was a little girl wanted to visit Disney. Now I´m 30 and planning to be on my next birthday for the first time with Mickey! After saving and saving and saving (in my country it could take a little more time :P) I think I´m ready! :DDDD I just wanted to thank you for making and updating this web and ebook because it´s going to be VERY useful!
Very greateful from the south!..
P.S.: Excuse me for my english, it´s a little rusty
Hello, Tom. Thanks for so much great input into Disney vacationing! I am having trouble downloading the book from my I pad.,when I clock download without my email, it says,”required fields are missing.” When I fill in my email, it says, “You are already subscribed’, I’m trapped in a cycle.
Thanks for your help?
Same here! Bummer.
There are no fields required to download…so I’m not sure what the issue might be. Did you right-click the link after the first paragraph of text that says “Money Saving Tips for Walt Disney World — 15 MB (right click, save as)” and save it to your computer?
I’m not sure what else the issue could be…I just tested it and I can’t replicate the problem you’re having. Sorry. 🙁
Got it! Thanks, I was clicking on the right of the screen near the book cover graphics, rather than in the body of the info. Probably Mary was too. Look for red words, Mary.
Many thanks for the freebie and all of the work you do for Disney fans!
Joanne
Hi Tom! Thanks so much for this; I have just started but already love it – especially the design! I seem to have missed the Christmas ebook.. is there a link to download it?
Thanks very much and sorry!
I’m in the process of updating the Christmas eBook for this year. Check back around late-summer for the 2016 version!
it says “sorry infected with a virus” when I try to download.
