Passporter: Deluxe or Spiral Edition?

[toystoryduo]

Okay... you have convinced me that I need to buy a Passporter. Now, can you tell me which one you have chosen and why? I am trying to decide and need your help! Thank you!

I have the Deluxe. I originally started with the spiral edition, but then upgraded for the next trip. With the deluxe, you can simply add the updated pages you need from the website and insert
into the book. I only get a new guide to insert every few years. Then I just order new pockets for each trip. I like the pockets to plan our itineraries and record our trip. I also keep all receipts in them for our trips. It's nice to be able to look back and find out what we paid for something to help with budgeting, and having the acutal receipt filed in the day we paid it is a bonus. This way I don't have to buy and store an entire book for every trip we take! Oh, and I have the DCL guidebook to insert as well when we plan our cruise!

I too started with the spiral and then upgraded to the deluxe for a following trip. I love it! I have gotten great use out of it. I am a compulsive planner. I have used the binder and the pockets for a cruise and also a vegas trip. It is fabulous for keeping everything in one place.

I love the binder. I insert my own pages with Disney "secrets" that I find on this Board. That way the secrets are in the correct section, by park, by hotel etc. I just bought paper designed for a dayplanner and re-punched the holes to match the binder. I also buy extra pockets so that I don't run out on several trips. Have fun!

Is the Deluxe version worth it if you only go once every 3-4 years?

To me planning is half the fun and enjoyment of all of our vacations - we're not going until May and I feel like I'm adicted to these Boards all over again. I ordered my refill for the one I bought in 2001 (didn't need a new binder) so I now have the update and am really getting into it. I do believe it's worth the few extra's.
