3.0 out of 5 stars A Good Read, January 18, 2008

A very interesting and informative book, although, it didn't really help me as much as others because I had already purchased my Disney vacation. I was looking for tips and hints on how to make the trip better and a lot of the book is the planning of your trip (ie. where to stay, to fly or drive, properties on and off Disney property, etc.). It did help me though with it's detailed info on Disney attractions, restaurants and shopping. Still very worth the money as it's priced right.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Absolute MUST Have for your first trip to WDW!, November 30, 2007

We read about 9 books on WDW - several were very good but this one was absolutely the best.

1 - the information was accurate. This is MUCH more than I can say for the best selling WDW Guide for folks with kids.
2 - there were dozens of useful recommendations regarding fright factors for rides and attractions that helped us a great deal with two small children.
3 - the planning materials were very nice and its format made it useful inside the park as well as before we went.
4 - the website that the authors have is a treasure trove of information beyond the books. Its updated constantly which can REALLY save you money and time when going to WDW.
5 - Its convenient size, shape, and format make using it as your travel planner for your trips easy as possible.
6 - many of the Maps inside are better (more detailed, practical for trip planning, and usable) than the beautiful free ones Disney mailed us.

All I can say is that this is the best value and most informative of the books we own. We've updated to the 2008 version and keep learning new things about WDW with each installment of the PassPorter series!

UPDATE 06/26/2011: We continue to use the Passporter series of books but have upgraded because things change pretty quickly at WDW. Still an amazing value and continues to be the MOST accurate book we have ever read on WDW for visitors. Even after several years as Annual passholders these books are still MUST HAVES for us.

If you want to get your money's worth during your next "World" vacation, bring this book!!! We have used this book for 3 trips to WDW so far, and have found this tool to be invaluable. I use it to plan our days, meal reservations, hold reciepts, jot down memorable moments, and keep tabs on our budget. When we return, I use the info in the book to organize my scrapbook.

Very easy to read, great maps, nice format. A must for the WDW traveler!!
