The PassPorter is a brilliant travel aid. It boasts 11 sturdy manila pockets, each clearly labeled, so you know which holds important travel papers (like tickets, itineraries, and maps); which houses papers pertaining to your lodgings; and where to store all the notes, plans, tickets, pamphlets, coupons, and numerous etceteras for each day of Walt Disney World exploration; as well as extra slots for ticket stubs, receipts, and small souvenirs. These pocket pages are also designed for recording important information, such as flight, train, or bus details; target travel budgets; and what you plan to do and where you plan to visit on any given day. Each page has space for jotting down notes and memories of the trip, from meals to weather to the best and worst thing of each day. If you're not an avid journal keeper, these quick notes may keep your many experiences from running together into one hectic jumble.

The pockets alone make this a useful take-along, but the PassPorter is a thorough source of information as well. There are chapters on planning your adventure, lodging options from hotel to resort, plus a full guide to all the sites and attractions of Walt Disney World, as well as passes, special programs, food options, and maps. With a durable laminated cover, spiral notebook design, and back page of phone numbers (everything from Walt Disney World information to the weather line to MedicClinic), this is possibly the most practical, sanity-saving guide you could take along to Disney World. --Stephanie Gold

This IS the ultimate traveling companion for Walt Disney World!

On our first day out could not persuade family members to follow the suggested order of attractions: saw only three that day. Afterwards, followed Passporters suggestions with some modifications and averaged 6+ attractions, which was great since our party included a preschooler and grandma with dementia in wheelchair!

I bought the spiral bound version: would recommend the deluxe version as you can take out the pages you don't need when you are visiting the parks and minimize bulk. I was able to store my copy safely in the stroller when visiting attractions. The pockets great for keeping reciepts, souvenir maps, etc. and make trip reports/ scrap booking really easy. I didn't think I would use them at first but once I started, I was hooked! Jennifer and Dave are making an even better version with post-it flags, color maps and other improvements for 2004. Can't wait to see the new version and to return to WDW to see what we missed!!!


Invaluable resource!   October 9, 2003
When I purchased the Passporter initially I had know idea how valuable it would be. It was a concise tour guide book and provided me with a way to manage all of our planning details as we prepared for our trip. The Passport pockets are an awesome way to keep track of confirmations, tickets, and receipts, and the maps and resort information are fabulous. Their website became my #1 source of information on making this the best trip ever. Hands down the best resource I've found!


Look No Further   July 12, 2003
You have found the perfect book to plan your wonderful trip to the happiest place on Earth. The detail is amazing. Each resort is given a six page lay out. You will see everything you need to see before getting there. The author's have a web site that can answer any question anyone can pose. The most up-to-date info can be found at that site.


The only guidebook you need to plan a trip to Disney World!   June 5, 2003
This is the BEST WDW guidebook I have ever owned, and I own them all! The detailed resort maps and restaurant descriptions alone are worth the price of the book. Jennifer and Dave are experienced WDW aficionados and IT SHOWS! The book is easy to read and hard to put down. It is witty and upbeat but still objective, lighthearted without being shallow, and comprehensive but not overwhelming. In short, it is the best investment you could make to help guarantee the best possible WDW visit.
