I'm really into planning for our trip and I've heard a lot of good things about Passporter books, I looked at one briefly at the bookstore a few weeks ago and liked it but ended up going with the "official" guide. I'm headed to the book store again today and wondering if the Passporter has helped many people plan their trips, and if it's worth the cost? Thanks!
 
I bought one for my 2012 trip and it was great. The kids and my husband looked at it every night to talk about our day and to read about what was coming up at the next park the next day. I wrote everything down in it, and it's still looked at on a regular basis to reminisce. I thought it was well worth the cost.
 
I have purchased a couple since my first trip. It is great because it is very easy to read and gives lots of cool tips. I really loved the planning area in the back in those days. it just seemed to get to the meat of a trip to WDW and helped me get an idea of wear things were kinda located, like PoTC is on the left of Main Street and Peter Pan is straight ahead and through the castle to my left. That was an emense help my first trip. So yest well worth the coast and there are also get guides on their website although I haven't been there in a while. I think sometimes they give a discount for buying there or they used to.
 
We love Passporters. I have no scrapbooking skills so this is my go to. We all have smart phones with calendars, but it is nice to have something of substance to work with when planning. Once we are home, they are an nice memory of your trip. My teenagers will get them out from time to time to look at.

I love passporter as well. I buy a new one every year. :) The passpockets are the best thing for jotting down a quick summary of your days at Disney.
 
My favorite part about the Passporter books are their maps. They're the most comprehensive I've seen.

YES!! I used for last trip and loved. I am using again for planning our next trip and bought one for my MIL to use since she will be joining us. I am a tech girl and love to do everything on my phone but there is just something about these little planners that I love. Well worth every penny!
 
Yes! Buy it! It helped me so much when planning my first ever trip. I continue to buy one every year because there's so much useful information.
 
Do you think a 9 year old would like this book? She's big into helping me plan this trip and has made lists of restaurants she wants to go to and rides she wants to ride etc. She reads well above age level and has already read the Birnbaums kid version for 2016. Just wondering if this has more space for writing plans etc that she may like.
 
I always buy passporter books for friends who are going to Walt Disney World. We had a family reunion trip this past Thanksgiving and I bought one for each family. The kids (from 4-19 years old) used them to plan their days in the parks and it helped when it was time to book FP's because everyone already knew which were their must do's.
 
I looooooove mine! I just ordered one for Disney Cruises as well.
 
Passporter's books are bright and colorful, full of great pictures and helpful information, and the maps are amazing. Definitely recommend it!
