Just received my 2005 Passporter....

[Dizzy4Dizney]

And it's really great! I like the new improvements of color maps of the parks. Now, just can't wait to use it!

Glad to hear it was worth the wait I was wondering if anyone got theirs yet.

 

[keagansmom]

I can't wait for mine. Do you know when you ordered it? Just trying to figure out where in the timeline they are in filling orders. Have a great day!

How different is it? I have the deluxe and was wondering if I should order just the text or should I order the spiral bound and punch the holes in the parts I want myself...

I have seen this"passporter" several times on the board, but still havent figured it out. Is it a day planner? Thanks!

Here is the passporter website. I love my passporter!

The "Passporter" is a guide to Disney World that has information about the resorts, park, dining, and everything else.

At the back of the book are pockets to put your trip information in and to help plan your trip.

I bought my first in 2001 and loved it so much that I bought the 99 & 2000 edition. I finally upgraded to a Deluxe edition. (There are two different editions - spiral bound - everything all together; and a Deluxe binder bound - where you can take things out or add things to it)

I really love my Deluxe edition. Once we start planning a trip, everything goes into it. We keep our annual passes in it because it has some slots in the binder for different things. Once we are finished with one for the year, and have received the new inserts, I take the old pages out and tie them together with string. That way everything that I have put into the pockets stays there. Once we get to the resort, we grab maps of the parks and put them into the pockets for the day that we went to that park.

All the information about our priority seating and other extras I write on the pocket for that day.

In the dining section, they have a page to plan your priority seating and put all the information once you have booked it.

It really is a great planner. We use it as well as Birnbaums when we plan trips.

got mine today too... Ordered it just after Xmas......

I also first bought the spiral bound one and upgraded to the Deluxe version. The 2005 has color maps of each park in it. It's the biggest change I found so far. I never use the pockets because I made my own. I think I might put the ones that came with this one on e-bay. I also add my own pages such as shopping list, packing list and my DVC points charts. I never go t Disney with out it!

Looks like a great thing to have. Is it too late for me to order one? Are there any coupons codes to use on the ordering site? Thanks!

My 2004 spiral bound Passporter has color maps of the parks?!?! I haven't decided if I NEED the 2005 version yet!

 

[Dizzy4Dizney]

Check the passporter.com website, but I'm not sure if there are any coupons. You do get a discount when you have ordered a previous one. It's not too late to get one if you aren't going in the next few weeks.

Hope mine comes today!

 

[Luckymommyx2]

I haven't received mine yet but hoping for this week. Good to know that it's finally on its way!

 

[CadandMouse]

Only ordered mine last week but had an email today saying they would be shipping it early next week....yeehhhaaa! Love my old passporters & can't wait for this new updated one )

 

[megrod74]

I ordered mine the end of October and still haven't received it - I hope it's on its way.

 

[MomofKatie]

I have the 2004 Passporter and have a Deluxe 2005 version on order... forgive me if I'm wrong, but I didn't think full-color maps of the parks was a new thing. My 2004 version has this feature. Still, I am looking forward to getting the new one. I can't get serious about planning until I can start making notes in my Passporter!

 

[jacksmom]

I just got mine!!! It is the Deluxe version! It looks great!!!

 

[Lorelai71]

Does the 2005 passporter have the new MYW prices and stuff about the dining package?

I bought the 2005 Birnbaum’s guide and it does not.

I received mine today also. Just in time to take on a business trip to Austin for reading at night in my room.
