Should I buy the Passporter??

[pixiedust519]

We are going on the 4-day in January and have been on the 7-day several times. Do you think it would be worthwhile to buy the Passporter book to help with our planning? I'm not sure if it will contain anything we don't already know, but I was just wondering if it would be worth the money. I just want to get some better ideas for the 4-day. Let me know your thoughts!

Thanks, Alyssa

I was going to post the exact same question a few weeks ago, but went ahead and bought the Passporter after reading the reviews on amazon. In particular, there was one from someone who said they had done lots of research online (bulletin boards, etc.), and still learned lots from the Passporter. I have to agree. It has tons of information, and it's nice to have all in one place instead of having to print out pages of my notes from here! There is a lot of information about the other ports of call, but we are also on the 4-day Wonder, and I'm glad I got it.

Have you been to Magical Disney Cruise Guide (see links on the left) My understanding is that this is the free "version" of the passporter (therefore it might not have everything the passporter has - but it is very complete!)

I bought mine a few months ago, and after religiously scouring the DIS boards and other sources, the value of the Passporter to me is that everything is centralized, organized and PORTABLE!! There is no way you will be able to remember all of the little "tips" that you have seen on the internet. So taking my well-worn and highlighted Passporter to me is invaluable. I hope this helps.

We take our copy with us and took it out for the ports to help us locate some of the things we wanted to see, since the maps on the ship basically only give shopping locations.

I also printed out the Magical Disney Cruise Guide and found it helpful, but not as organized or quite as complete as the Passporter. I would recommend looking at both.

I bought both Passporters (for DCL and WDW). My BF teased me that they were my "geek books", but I learned a lot from them and he had to admit that they were helpful.
