Passporter Walt Disney World 2001: The Unique Travel Guide, Planner, Organizer, Journal & Keepsake [Spiral-bound]

How many pouches, pockets, bags, and purses do you want to carry at Walt Disney World? And how well will you remember, amid the clamour 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 labelled, so you know which holds important travel papers (like tickets, itineraries, and maps); which houses papers pertaining to your accommodation; 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, accommodation options from hotel to resort, plus a full guide to all the sites and attractions of Walt Disney World, as well as passes, special programmes, 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 and MedicClinic), this is possibly the most practical, sanity-saving guide you could take along to Disney World. --Stephanie Gold, Amazon.com --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Chapter One: Planning Your Adventure

Planning is the secret to a successful vacation. The vast Walt Disney World Resort is not designed for procrastinators or last-minute travelers. Good planning is rewarded by a far more magical Disney experience. Planning is also wonderful fun. It increases the anticipation and starts the excitement months before the vacation begins.

Planning begins by learning about the Walt Disney World Resort. Your PassPorter has all the information you need for a great vacation, and then some! Written to be complete yet compact, the PassPorter can be your only guidebook or act as a companion to another. You can use it in a variety of ways: as a travel guide, a vacation planner, an organizer, a trip journal, and a keepsake. We designed it for heavy use--carry it about wherever you go and revisit it often after your trip is a fond memory. Personalize it with your plans, notes, souvenirs, and memories. We even crafted it with extra room in the binding to hold the things you'll squeeze and jam into the pockets along the way. The PassPorter is the ultimate Walt Disney World Resort guide--before, during, and after your vacation. (When we say "Walt Disney World Resort," we mean the entire complex of parks, resort hotels, and other facilities that make up the "World." The term does not refer to just a resort hotel. More and more, Disney uses this term and we've adopted it when it seems appropriate.)

This first chapter helps you with the initial planning stage: gathering information and budgeting. Your PassPorter then continues through the planning stages in order of priority. Sprinkled throughout are ways to personalize your trip, little-known tips, and magical Disney moments.

Above all else, have fun with your plans. Don't get so bogged down with planning and recording that you miss the spontaneous magic of your vacation. As Robert Burns so appropriately said, "The best laid plans of mice and of men go oft astray." Use your PassPorter to plan ahead so you can relax and enjoy your vacation, no matter what it brings.
