I LOVE this book!!! I live in FL but hadn't been to Disney in years, so I decided to buy a planning book before our big trip. Well, I sure got more than I bargained for with this book. It has useful information about every resort, restaurant and ride...and more! The passporter pockets make it convenient to store your hotel confirmations, priority seating confirmations and tickets prior to your trip. The fold-out maps are great too!

In addition to the wealth of information provided in the book, Jennifer and Dave have a wonderful website that I highly recommend for more information about Disney, including updates to the book. If you are planning a Disney trip OR if you just love WDW, GET THIS BOOK. I can't say enough about it.

If you have read any of the other reviews you already know this series inspires strong praise and I agree with all of it. I'd like to add one more reason to appreciate this book- there is NO approximation of the WDW LOGO! you may be wondering why that would be a good thing so I'll tell you. We have a 4year old who can not read yet but has the brand recognition skills of a savant- I have had this book for a few days and not a shread of curiosity about it yet. Which translates into PEACEFUL planning. We won't be tackling the mouse till Dec. and I don't think I can stand almost 3 months of "IS IT TIME YET?????"

If you go to Walt Disney World without reading this book, you're crazy! It's worth it's weight in gold for the included links to Disney fan and info websites alone! Not to mention worksheets for everything imaginable - budget, transportation, hotel reservations, you name it! It now has multi-color maps and pictures of the authors touring the parks - real people enjoying real rides and shows at WDW - not those awful 15 year old publicity shots in those 'other' guidebooks. If you love to plan your trips in advance and love working out all the little details, this book is definitely for you! A tip: Use a pencil when writing in your PassPorter. It's easier to erase your plans if they change and graphite doesn't run like ink if it gets wet on Splash Mountain.

If you are reading this review you are probably where I was a few months ago... planning a trip to Disney World and thinking about purchasing a book with no idea of which one to pick!

If you knew me, you'd take me at my word that PassPorter is the one to buy... ...you will find hundreds of people that feel the same way that I do... and not just for Disney World either, there are a few versions of PassPorter for different needs.

Personally, there is a lot that I love about PassPorter, but if I had to name one thing it would be all of those daily pockets!

I put my park tickets, reservation confirmations, show tickets, mousekeeping tip envelopes and more all in the pocket for the day I would need them, along with my driving directions so that when I went out the door I knew that I had all of the important stuff in one spot.

I used it every day before my trip, every day during my trip, a few days after my trip and will use it while planning my next trip.

You won't be disapointed in this one...

If you are still not sure and haven't run over to check out passporterboards.com please do so, it is run by the authors who are thoughtful and caring. They want to know what you think, what you like and what you'd like to see... <...

Have a fantabulous vacation!

As a Disney World planner extraordinaire I was certain that this book wouldn't offer any new insights for me before our trip in Dec 2003. I was mistaken. It was the perfect tool for planning, organizing, and documenting our journey. It was so useful that I ordered the 2004 edition for our trip in Jan 2004. The new maps, stickers, PassPockets, and sheer volume of information makes it the only guide for the World we will ever need. There are pages for detailed planning as well as specific reviews of restaurants, parks, and rides that made our itinerary planning much easier. They are on top of changes with updates from their website and provide detailed information that will prove invaluable in planning the ultimate Walt Disney World vacation. Even for a "veteran" of 6 vacations, this is the ultimate Walt Disney World guidebook.

Of the many, many WDW guidebooks that are available, this is the best. It has the most useful information, compiled in the most useable format. The evaluations and descriptions are honest and informative. The authors are able to state when an attraction or resort leaves something to be desired without resorting to the negativity which might bother someone who is eagerly anticipating their visit. This book isn't just the best guide to your vacation; it is designed to be the best planner, a great in-park companion and a wonderful way to look back on your experience.

THIS is the only planning guide you need for a fabulous trip to WDW!!! It is wonderful! Don't waste your money on any of the others. I own them all, and this one is by FAR the best!

When planning our trip back to Disney since 1996 (first time for kids 4 and 7), we needed some updating on the "ins" and "outs" of Disney World. Had read some other guides and found them useful, but the Passporter is by far, the BEST! The Passporter not only had wonderful guides, tips, and information, but it also served as a receipt keeper and journal. All of the info is stored in a planner style binder that is easy to transport. We used it for planning our trip and while we were there--LOVED IT!!! Some friends borrowed it and now bought one of their own. Don't go to Disney World without it!!!

I OWN BOTH THE WALT DISNEY VERSION AND THE CRUISE LINE VERSION OF THE PASSPORTER. I COULD NOT IN ALL THE BOOKS I LOOKED AT FIND ONE THAT HELPED ME TO PLAN MY TRIP LIKE THE PASSPORTER! EASY TO READ IT ACTUALLY MADE PLANNING OUR TRIPS TO DISNEY AND THE CRUISE FUN. ONCE I STARTED PLANNING IT WAS HARD TO STOP.

I bought the 2003 edition for my first trip to WDW last November. I loved the descriptions of the rides and restaurants, as well as the price ranges for the eateries and resorts. The best part are the organizer pockets that are included at the back of the book. I was able to put my airline tickets, hotel and car rental confirmation letters in there, as well as guidemaps as a souvenir from the parks. There is even a place to write notes on what you enjoyed, what you didn't, and any reminders for the next visit.
