Did somebody ever but the book " PassPorter Walt Disney "? I was wondering if it was worth it.

I have the Passporter 2001 for Walt Disneyworld. This is both a guidebook and planner with pockets to hold materials for each days' visit on your trip, such as maps, reservation receipts, coupons, etc., whatever you will need for your trip. It has all the information you need regarding all the resorts, attractions and restaurants in Disneyworld, Downtown Disney, the waterparks, even Universal Studios. What I like best about it is while your planning your trip, you can keep everything as it piles up in one location. I decided to buy the deluxe version because my book is so chock-full of materials now, and I can remove what I need to carry it separately from the book each day due to its removable pages. To carry everything I have in it right now every day would weigh a few pounds-too heavy! I think this book is a great addition to any number of guides available. I'm also using the Unofficial Guide to WDW in conjunction with my Passporter. You can check out all the popular guidebooks at Barnes and Noble or Borders if they are close to you. For Passporter, go to www.passporter.com. Hope this information has been helpful to you!

I love my PassPorter although I didn't use it for it's intended purpose of keeping track of your trip. Mine is an autographed copy given I won at last years big internet meet!

Also, I have met the authors and Jennifer and Dave are wonderful! They really believe in and support the Disney online community and spent lots of time with everyone at RADP IV and RADP V!

Have a Great Disney Day!

I ordered the Passporter after planning my trip. I thought from the web-site it would be useful while we are in WDW. To be honest, I am a little disappointed. I expected it to be smaller, more carrier friendly. Also, the information it contains, you can get in all of the Disney Books. If you're anything like me, you bought them all. I was using a small notebook with all of our priority seating information in it, flight info, hotel info, etc. It would have worked fine. If you're in the initial planning stages of your trip, it's probably worth it to stay orgranized all the way through, but if you're finished planning, IMHO, I wouldn't bother with it.

The Passporter was definately worth the money. It's my favorite of all the guides that I have.

I am interested in this guide and would like to order muliple copies for various members of our family, both to use for planing but also to use as a way to store some of the memories. Could someone post the size of the standard WDW pasporter?
Thnaks!

Cyndy:
It's about 71/2 by 10. I have 2 coupons that I rec'd with my PassPorter for 20% off the list price. That would be 15.95 plus shipping and handling. I will be happy to drop them in the mail to you. Just email me your address and I will put them in the mail today. HURRY...we are leaving for WDW tomorrow morning! (Don't worry, I'm not a wierdo or anything.) Just trying to be helpful, as this board has been wonderful to me for preparation of our trip!

I would definitely go for the Passporter. It has become the only guide book I've touched since it arrived! The others are just collecting dust now. I am a WDW guide book fanatic & my only disappointment with the Passporter is that they don't have one geared just for kids yet! They do have ratings from one of the author's (Dave's) daughter, which is a plus. You won't be sorry with the Passporter.

If you dont mind and if Cyndy dont respond I would take the coupon. With the canadien money that is so low, every elp is welcome!!!

I don't think you could use the coupons unless you actually had the book - when you try to redeem them it will ask you a question 'such as what word is on page 75'

I don't think it is the same question every time, but I could be wrong about that.

I love my Passporters (2000 & 2001 editions). I got the Deluxe version -
1. I can buy the filler only to save money in the long run
2. I can take out a lot of the planning stuff for the trip and just carry the portions that I want then reassemble the book after the trip
3. I love the pockets, it keeps everything well organized. I added stick on tabs so it was easy to find the sections for each day.

I appreciate your generous offer and have e-mailed the info. Have a great vacation and mail the coupon when you return, we won't be leaving until June. Wish we were going tomorrow!

I also bought it after I had planned my vacation. It was ok but didn't really tell me anything new that I hadn't read in Birnbums or online. I leave in 5 days and don't know that I will be dragging it around the parks just to organize my stuff.

Also if you go for it, The price onlive even with the coupons, when you add shipping it comes to the same price as the bookstore.
