Passporter forums/book?

[Dan Murphy]

I haven't looked at the Passporter website for quite some time. I had purchased their guide book a few times (very nice format) back about 20 years ago and checked their forums once in a while

For whatever reason, I don't know, just thought of them and went to see what was new, if anything.

I just got errors. Jennifer and Dave always seemed very nice.

Anybody know if they're gone?

I bought their books an enjoyed their forum as well but hadn’t been to their site in quite sometime while it is sad it is a sign of the times.

One of the regulars there started a board called pixiedustlane if you are interested.

I also went to the passporter site recently and was disappointed to see it gone. As much as I loved their books (and even planned my Disney Wedding utilizing their Disney Weddings information exhaustively) for my trips this year- I used other sites including Disney’s own MDE and planning tools. I guess that as tech and info evolve, consumer interest will shift. You can tell that their heart and soul were in those guides and I’m glad I still have my online edition to edit. If they didn’t see enough interest though, I guess it would be time to move on.

Very sad, but understandable. They put together a unique product in a field of many lookalikes. I'll miss them. Glad I got to experience their concept of a Disney guide book and their forums.

Thanks, tink, for the reply and link.

Thank you for including the link to their story here. I met Jennifer and Dave several years ago, and they gave me one of their books for DL planning. I also bought their book for WDW, and had a trip report up on their site from our 1999 trip. They were very nice, and I went to their site often in my early years.

Carrie still has her wedding guide (I can't remember the site to order it but I know the link is on her disneytravelbabble.com site. She's also hosted a podcast based on the book - and the wedding board here - for several years.

I loved their book, used it every year for several years!!

I was very active on their site back in the early 2000's and even moderated the DVC thread. It really tanked when facebook became popular.

I had been trying to figure out where they had gone. We had just found we are going to be visiting Disney World next June and that was the first place I went to get up to speed. It's been 11 years since our last visit. (I have so much new stuff to learn.) I loved being on the forums. I'm glad to be back here though too.

I'm late to realizing that the PassPorter guides are no more, so thanks for posting this, Dan! I didn't use their WDW guides, but I still have the last (I think) edittion of their Disney Cruise Line book (12th edition 2014).

I purchased a Passporter in 2001 and then decided to purchase the two previous versions. I then went to the deluxe and just bought inserts for each year. When I heard they were going to stop producing the printed version, I just had to find and buy what editions I did not have. Now I have every edition they printed. I loved using it for each trip. If we had more than one trip in a year, I would purchase extra pockets. When I took a year out of the binder, I would tie it off through the punched holes to keep it together. I didn't realize they had shut down the forums. So sad.
