New DFTW Guide

Thanks everyone!

I'm not sure I am allowed to be commenting on this thread cuz I don't want to run afoul of the DIS rules, but I can't resist answering this...

Without being biased now, is this worth a buy, or will I not learn anything I already know??

You know how I'm always butting in and answering people's questions on this board? (...Whether or not I've been asked ) All those answers are in the book, all in one place. I even refer to it for answers myself!

Yes, it's definitely worth it!

It's 274 pages of awesome information. And, Passporter has a satisfaction guarantee. So, if you do buy it and find that it is not helpful, they will refund your money!

I absolutely recommend that people buy it. All the info is in one place instead of having to search all over the boards etc.

The only problem I had with it is that I couldn't use paypal and since I didn't feel like doing the whole troubleshooting I just paid by credit card.

I love it Carrie!! And to know an actual author! (Can we have a book signing? Only half kidding on that!) It's like all the questions I ever had in one place. Thank you for taking the time to write it for us all!

My question is the option to bind it up - I'm one of those who likes having the actual book. I went on the website you recommended (lulu was it?) and it says the option to print and bind it is 60!! Is there a different way!

 

[lurkyloo]

Yes! If you print it as a "Digest" format (5.5"x8.5" - which is the e-books' native size) paperback, with Publisher Grade Paper, black & white (the cover will be in color) and Perfect Bound, the price is $6.61 plus about $6 in shipping. Printing it in all color is what boosts it to $60.

I have ordered one and will let you know if it looks any good when I get it!

Wow that is awesome!!

I get the passporter every year but I didnt realize there was a passporter's club... I definitely want to get this e-book but I'm wondering if maybe I should just join the club so I can have access to all the e-books.. yearly membership? monthly? I dont know so many options!

sadly they dont offer the digest format in color.. if they did i would probably pay for it..

I love the ebook, again not just because my pictures are in it, but because it is great! I wish it was out a year ago!

So I'm very excited about this new DFTW e-book and set off to get it last night. I signed up for the 1 month subscription and tried to download the book but at 47% it stops and gives me an error message! I tried it a couple times but no luck... I tried just to open it without saving it to my computer but the exact same thing happened! I thought it was probably something I was doing wrong or a problem with my computer but I tried a couple other of the e-books on the site and they download with no problem Anyone else having problems? Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? I've been trying to get my hands on it for 24 hours now and it's driving my nutty ! PLEASE HELP!

Oh yeah... the error message says... "Internet Explorer cannot download passportersdisneyweddings.pdf from www.passporter.com because the connection with the server was reset"

 

[DisneyDmbNut]

make sure you have Adobe Reader 7 or higher.

I had the same problem at home, it kept giving me an error. WHen I upgraded to 9.0 (the current free from Adobe) it downloaded fine

That's probably just a temporary server problem. Try downloading the PDF again. I had no problem on Friday.
