About this title

Review:

How many pouches, pockets, bags, and purses do you want to carry at Walt Disney World? And how well will you remember, amid the clamor and frenzy, which sack holds your entry tickets and which your meal coupons, where you put that map and what you did with the hotel reservations? Among the jumble of guidebooks and cameras, souvenirs and sunglasses, important slips of paper elude panicky fingers. But it needn't be so.

The PassPorter is a brilliant travel aid. It boasts 11 sturdy manila pockets, each clearly labeled, so you know which holds important travel papers (like tickets, itineraries, and maps); which houses papers pertaining to your lodgings; and where to store all the notes, plans, tickets, pamphlets, coupons, and numerous etceteras for each day of Walt Disney World exploration; as well as extra slots for ticket stubs, receipts, and small souvenirs. These pocket pages are also designed for recording important information, such as flight, train, or bus details; target travel budgets; and what you plan to do and where you plan to visit on any given day. Each page has space for jotting down notes and memories of the trip, from meals to weather to the best and worst thing of each day. If you're not an avid journal keeper, these quick notes may keep your many experiences from running together into one hectic jumble.

The pockets alone make this a useful take-along, but the PassPorter is a thorough source of information as well. There are chapters on planning your adventure, lodging options from hotel to resort, plus a full guide to all the sites and attractions of Walt Disney World, as well as passes, special programs, food options, and maps. With a durable laminated cover, spiral notebook design, and back page of phone numbers (everything from Walt Disney World information to the weather line to MedicClinic), this is possibly the most practical, sanity-saving guide you could take along to Disney World. --Stephanie Gold

From the Publisher:

THREE DISNEY FANS WRITE THE MOST HONORED DISNEY GUIDEBOOK!

When Jennifer Watson and Dave Marx wanted something that would help them plan, organize, and record the perfect vacation to their favorite spot -- Walt Disney World -- they came up with the idea for a new planning system. After years of research and writing, they ended up with an unique, all-in-one travel guide worthy of FIVE national awards: BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AWARD Finalist (Bill Fisher Award for Best First Book by a New Publisher); LOWELL THOMAS Travel Journalism Competition Silver Award Winner (Society for American Travel Writers Foundation); BOOK OF THE YEAR Gold and Silver Award Winners (ForeWord Magazine); and an AWARD OF EXCELLENCE (North American Travel Journalists Association). The 2002 edition marks the debut of co-author Allison Cerel Marx (age 9), who is one of the youngest experts on Walt Disney World.
