In one neat, spiral-bound package they've combined a 362-page guide with 14 organizer "PassPockets," creating a proven planning system for the perfect vacation. What do you do with a PassPocket? Write your vacation itinerary on the front of each pocket before you go, store maps, brochures, passes, and receipts inside the pocket while you're there, and record your memories and expenses on the back to review when you return home! Printed front-and-back with fill-in-the-blank sections for itineraries, To-Do lists, notes, expenses, meals, photos taken, and cherished memories, PassPockets make organized travel a snap! One pocket is dedicated to travel plans, another pocket is for lodging, ten one-a-day pockets are dedicated to vacation fun, another pocket is for an extra day or a special event, and a final pocket saves special memories and creates a trip report. Although the PassPockets put PassPorter's(R) Walt Disney World(R) 2013 Deluxe in a league by itself, the travel guide section easily stands on its own. The Disney-owned resort hotels get special attention, including detailed maps, color photos, and room layouts.
"Visitors can spend more on lodging than they do at the theme parks," Jennifer notes,"so we dedicate at least four pages to every resort hotel owned and operated by Disney. You can change your mind about a ride, but your lodging decision sticks with you for your entire visit." The theme parks also get the full PassPorter treatment. Each of the four major parks -- Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, and Disney's Animal Kingdom -- gets a detailed layout, complete with full-color fold-out maps and a concise description of every ride and attraction. Disney's two water parks, the Downtown Disney dining and shopping complex, ESPN Wide World of Sports, the Disney Vacation Club and the Disney Cruise Line are covered, too. Meal times are fun times at Walt Disney World, and with over 300 dining options, the PassPorter team had its work cut out for them. Special worksheets, average meal costs for every restaurant, and other features help planners make the most of Disney's pay-one-price Disney Dining Plan. Every full-service restaurant on Disney property is rated and reviewed, as well as every counter-service eatery in the parks.
"We give you a good taste of every restaurant and still keep it concise, which is important in a book people carry with them all day," says Dave, who loves to eat and cook. "We also give a complete rundown on Disney's Character Meals, where Mickey, Peter Pan, or Pooh Bear pay a visit to every table. Believe me; grown-ups love this just as much as the kids!" One popular aspect of this edition are the fun "KidTips," "TweenTips" and "TeenTips" by 20-year-old co-author Allison Cerel Marx, Dave's daughter, who has been providing a kid's perspective in PassPorter since she was seven. Allie's tips for the attractions are a big help to kids and parents alike. Allie also rates every attraction at every park with her "A-OK!" ratings for even younger kids, and Allie's young brother Alexander contributes his ToddlerTips. These are accompanied by age-appropriateness ratings for park attractions from their parents, giving parents an extra heads up on what attractions are suited to their kids.
Every map, photo, chart, illustration, and worksheet is in full color on glossy stock, with additional use of color to highlight important points, such as items that are new or have changed at Walt Disney World since the publication of the previous edition. The Deluxe edition of PassPorter's Walt Disney World 2013 is especially popular with repeat readers of PassPorter guidebooks, frequent travelers to Walt Disney World, and overseas visitors. PassPorter packages the same, great text and organizer pockets in a luxurious, padded six-ring binder. Readers can add and remove text and PassPockets, store credit cards and papers in slots in the inside front and rear covers, and obtain additional PassPocket refills from the publisher. The Deluxe edition comes packaged in a full-color display box, and includes a ball point pen. So when the magic of Walt Disney World beckons, pick up a copy of the award-winning PassPorter's(R) Walt Disney World(R) 2013 Deluxe travel guide. Not only will you discover Walt Disney World through the eyes of four seasoned fans, but you'll be more organized and better budgeted than you ever thought possible.
Jennifer Marx fell in love with Walt Disney World on her first visit as a teenager in 1983. She has since returned more than 100 times, visiting every park, attraction, resort, and restaurant many times. As author of over a dozen popular computing books, she yearned to write one about Walt Disney World but felt no interest in churning out yet another travel guide when there were so many excellent books already available. When she hit upon the idea of the PassPorter, she knew she could offer her fellow vacationers something unique and valuable. With the help of the PassPorter, Jennifer has organized gatherings at Walt Disney World for individuals, groups, and families of all ages and stages. Jennifer makes her home in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Dave Marx may be considered a Renaissance Man, a jack of-all-trades, or a dilettante, depending on how you look at things. He took a 20-year hiatus between his early journalism training and the commencement of his full-time writing career. Beyond co-authoring numerous books with Jennifer, he's been a radio writer/producer; recording engineer; motion picture music editor; broadcast engineering supervisor; tax preparer; cab driver; whitewater safety and rescue instructor; developer and instructor of online publishing courses; and newsletter editor and promotions chief for an online forum. He has also co-authored and contributed to numerous books about America Online and the Internet. He discovered the "World" (Walt Disney World, that is) in 1997 and has been immersed in its magic ever since. Dave is from New Jersey, and now makes his home in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Allison Cerel Marx ("Allie") is a veteran visitor to Walt Disney World (and Dave's 20-year-old daughter), and you can watch her grow through various ages and stages, thanks to her contributions to the guidebook. She has a maniacal grin, especially when spinning one of Mad Hatter's teacups at top speed or dragging Dad onto a thrill ride. She's camped at Fort Wilderness, celebrated Millennium New Year's Eve in the Magic Kingdom, and photographed animals at Animal Kingdom Lodge Resort. She shares her "A-OK!" ratings and her popular tips for kids, "tweens," and teens on the attractions in the Touring the 'World' chapter. Allie also offers her thoughts on the childcare clubs on property.
