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 14 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

5.0 out of 5 stars Was the best information on WDW available, September 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Passporter Walt Disney World: The Unique Travel Guide, Planner, Organizer, Journal, and Keepsake (The Unique Travel Guide, Planner, Organizer, Journal & Keepsake, Passporter Ser) (Spiral-bound)

I opened the book slowly making it as if I was opening a Christmas present. I DID go straight back to the PassPorter pockets. I LOVE THEM!!!! I cant wait to use them, they are wonderful!!! I read this book from cover to cover. (hi-lighter in hand, and skipping lunch as not to get mayonaise on my new PassPorter book) I have to say that this the BEST book by far that I have seen. there's info on the resorts. restaurants, and even things that most people don't even think of doing (ie me) unless its pointed out to them I couldn't believe how much information was in this book!!!! It has maps for ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. Charts on the resorts, food and attractions siting best and worst, prices (for the restaurants), what each "age group" each park would get a kick out of more. (ie couple, singles, family, the young, and last but not least, the young at heart)There are sections for planning, trip notes, budgeting, even an area to get some character autographs I would TOTALLY reccomend this book!!!! It's value is off the charts!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't leave home without it!, July 10, 2000

This review is from: PassPorter Walt Disney World 2000: The unique travel guide, planner, organizer, journal, and keepsake! (Spiral-bound)

I honestly can't figure out how anyone goes to Walt Disney World without this guide. On our last trip, the PassPorter made it *so* easy for me to stay organized, with every coupon, confirmation slip, and trip detail in its own special place. On top of all that, the guidebook portion of the book is, in my opinion, among the best. No other WDW guidebook has better resort maps or descriptions.

The 2000 edition has topped itself. Better maps, better reviews, more pockets. The best gets even better!

4.0 out of 5 stars Helpful book, March 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Passporter Walt Disney World: The Unique Travel Guide, Planner, Organizer, Journal, and Keepsake (The Unique Travel Guide, Planner, Organizer, Journal & Keepsake, Passporter Ser) (Spiral-bound)

The book was short, to the point. Nice maps. Rides were rated. Hotel info. and maps were good. Restuarants were rated. Pockets were helpful to keep track of things. This is not an exhaustive book of all Disney World info. but works nicely in conjuction with books like the Unofficial Guide or Birnbaum's.
