Passporter

[TiggerInNY]

OK, I just bought my Passported yesterday and I can't seem to put the damn thing down. I don't go to the World until October. This book won't make it that long. I may wear out the pages before I even go. I have Birnbaum's and that doesn't compare to the Passporter. This has WAY more information for planning. Birnbaum's only tells you a portion of what the Passporter has. It's much better for planning your vacation, day to day. I'm only on page 132 and it won't be long before I'm at the end and starting over. It cost $21.95.

Hope this helps someone out.

TTFN,
Maria

Love the passporter!!! I got my first this year for a trip in May! Between the DISboards and the passporter boards you'll be very well planned! Have fun planning and a great trip!

I have already started using the envelopes in mine for planning. As I gather things I need, such as tickets, reservation confirmations, etc., I put them in the proper pocket. I am also putting the tip money for each day, gift certificate for Rainforest, and money for meals in the pockets as I get extra--also the town car ressie confirmation and money. I am checking the extimates of meal costs on the feasting pages and using them as the amounts for each meal--since they include the tip and an appetizer, I am sure they will more than fulfill my needs!

It has already been well worth it's price (I got the deluxe edition and love the fact that I can get refills for next year!)

We bought our first passporter in 2001. Loved it so much that we bought the previous two editions to put all our memorabilia in.
We bought the 2002 edition and just received the 2003 edition. In fact we have a magical memory published in the 2003 edition. Check out page 260, our memory is the 2nd one on the page. It was originally submitted for the 2002 edition, but they used it for this one instead.
We start planning our trip and everything goes into the passporter. I bought extra pockets since we have taken two trips a year for the last couple years.

We bought the 2002 edition last year, and wore it out. It's so well organized and informative, even veterans can use it for planning. It has the edge over all the other guidebooks in a lot of ways, not the least of which it can double as a memory book for your trips. Also, their coverage of the Disney resorts is top notch.

This year we bought the 2003 deluxe and are really happy with it. As a side note, the deluxe comes with the pages unbound so that you can put them in the binder. My pages were missing pp. 139/140; not good, since 139 is the big fold out map of Epcot! I e-mailed them about it, got an almost immediate response, and they mailed a replacement out to us within a few days. You don't always find that kind of customer service these days.

One other thing for fans of Passporter- a close second place for best WDW guidebook goes to Walt Disney World for Couples. Similar in tone to Passporter, with excellent write-ups of the resorts and resturants, and a slant towards adults/romantic couples.
