"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. 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."
"It was so much better than a silly blank page signature book that kids never care about after your trip. It now sits on our daughters shelf for her to look at for years to come rather than a blank page signature book."
"Used it in disneyland instead of the autograph book... Recwived it as a gift from a friend..."
"Bought for my grandson so he could use the book as an autograph book when we go in March to celebrate his 6th birthday.."
"This is the second time we've purchased this book, we bought one two years ago for my daughter to take to Disney World as an autograph book and that worked out so well that we decided to gift two to our neighbors boys when they went to Disney in December."
"So much fun in Disney World with this book."
"Not sure what happened with reviewers that noted their books falling apart, but we had no problem there."
