Trip Planning Journal?

[Hippychickali]

Hi all,

I have read several posts over the year about those who make their own trip planning journals and think this is really great. However, I don't have the time or creativity to do this. I am looking to purchase a pre-made journal for my upcoming trip to the World. Can anyone recommend something? Also, although there are great online sources, I would like a physical book so that I can take it with me. Suggestions would be appreciated.

I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but try www.passporter.com. It is a book you can take with you, and it contains pockets that you can put maps, tickets, etc in. I haven't ordered one yet, but it is definitely on my list of things to get for my August trip.

Hope this helps!

I think this is exactly what I am looking for! I've heard of passporter before but didn't realize that this is what it is. Has anyone use it? Do you like it and would you recommend it?

I purchased the cruise edition of the passporter before our Disney cruise and it was wonderful. Full of lots of information and had excellant pockets to hold all our reservation information. I did purchase the deluxe binder as it seemed like a better one for me to use. I loved the binder and have used it to store info for other trips (just take out the pages on the cruise and reuse the pockets)

I would say go for it. I haven't purchased the WDW version as I know I won't carry it around in the parks and I didn't need it for the info like I did on the cruise. For our WDW trips I just keep all the information together in a folder. Once we are at the hotel I usually I'll refer to the folder to check PS info only. Then I put all the receipts in the folder too.

I love my passporter. I have used it the last couple of years to help plan our trips with my DH, DD, DS, DMOM, DDAD, DSIS and sis's boyfriend. We've been 17 times, but it still is very helpful and up-to-date. It is an excellant reference. I just ordered the 2005 version for our trip in December.

Well, thank you for the information. I'll have to reconsider buying a passporter when the 2005 edition becomes available around here.

I use the Passporter and the www.touringplans.come/UG. I use the Passporter as a keepsake so I was happy that UG came out with the premade sheets that I could print out. I use the print outs as scratch paper for planning and sometimes it can get ugly. After which I transfer that info from the printouts over to the Passporter with receipts, some pictures, notes, autographs, etc.

I found the Deluxe version of the Passporter fantastic and highly recommend it. Its worth the money.
