If you have never used Passporter, you have missed out on the best guidebook out there. I LOVE this! It has wonderful descriptions of each attraction at the park, each restaurant, each of the three resort hotels and even good neighborhood hotels surrounding Disneyland Resort. They give everything their own ratings and include the average ratings of other Passporter visitors to the park. Not only do they fill you in on all of the park details, they also provide travel tips if you are flying, driving, renting a car, etc., provide a huge packing list so you won't forget anything, and provide information on other attractions in the Southern CA area such as Legoland, Universal Hollywood, Hollywood, and San Diego. In the back is a pocket for each day of your vacation (up to 15 days). You can put your theme park tickets, souvenirs, travel iteneraries, etc., in the pockets. The pockets also include places to write your reservation confirmation numbers and "things to do" for the day.

The Passporter is a must-have for any Disney trip.

I highly recommend this new guide to add to your reference books on planning your trip to the Disneyland Resort in California. It is as comprehensive as the Disney World PassPorter for Florida. The reviews of the rides, attractions, and food service were right on. In addition, the hints and tips saved us a lot of time and allowed us to experience as much as possible. If you go, stay at the Grand Californian if at all possible.

I own several of the WDW Passporter and I love the DL one also helped me plan my 1st trip!
and I love the pages aren't glossey easy to write in!

I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL OF THESE BOOKS AND THEY ARE WORTH EVERY CENT.
THERE IS SOMETHING IN THERE FOR EVERYBODY.

Invaluable tool for use at Disney World. We sort of destroyed ours by tearing out pages and carrying them with us on a daily basis. The tips were great. I suggest REALLY studying the book prior to your arrival. You'll save money and time even before you get there. We are empty-nesters and it was great for us too.

Without a doubt, if your heading to Southern California (Los Angeles area) and you are interested in visiting Disneyland, Universal Studios Hollywood, Sea World, San Diego Zoos, Knotts Berry Park, etc. then you should grab a copy of this book-it's well written with many hints and tips to avoid crowds for maximum fun while at the parks. We found some of the information and prices a little dated-but a newer edition is due out in the fall 2008-if you are traveling after the fall 2008, get the latest edition of this Title for the most up-to-date information. I like the idea of the spiral binding-it keeps the pages from tearing from the binder from constant use (as did other travel books I have). $20 Price tag for this book is worth it. I've looked at the official Disney books also-and they are helpful too, but the tips seems to be beneficial to the park as well while the tips in this book are more geared towards the visitor/reader. Have a safe trip!

The information provided in the PassPorter is incomplete when compared to books like the Unofficial Guide to Disneyland. It might be cool for a pre-teen to be able to plan the trip for the family, but I found the whole thing altogether too cutesy (for lack of a better term) for Mom and Dad to use in researching, planning and organizing.

The information in this book was pretty accurate although I could have done without all of the personal pictures. This book outlines the basics of traveling to Disneyland. But it also outlines the author personal preferences not just what any family might like to do, but particularly what her family likes to do. Might have been nice to actually allow others to contribute more to the book so there is a wider range of opinions as to what is a must see and what is not.

I would say this book is okay if you have NEVER visited Disneyland, but if you have, there is absolutely no need to buy this book. You could organize your trip better if you did it on your own.
