Brake job // first time

Ok as my comfort level grows with working on cars, I figured its time to tackle my first brake job. I need to replace pads and rotors - standard stuff. This is for my DD 2005 Camry.

The Haynes book makes it look relatively easy. What are the gotchas with replacing pads and rotors? I shouldn't have to disconnect the brake lines right? Just unbolt a bunch of stuff then bolt it all back up once the pads and rotors are replaced.

Is it really that simple?
