I am being serious when I say this was my favorite book as a child when I found out we were going to Disney. I spent hours looking at the pages and maps (couldn’t read) but man did I know the layout of every park. 10/10 book. You can tell I would grow up to study hospitality management.

Preparing for our Disney trips is just as much fun as going on them...well almost. In the past we have used Fodor's Walt Disney World (library copy), The Everything Family Guide to the Walt Disney Resort, Universal Studios, and Greater Orlando, and Birnbaum's Walt Disney World. Our web sites to refer to have included All Ears Net, Mouse Planet, Blue Sky Disney, Mice Age, Disney World Information, and Small World Vacations. I recently discovered PassPorter and Magical Mountain.
We have also added the 2007 PassPorter Walt Disney World Resort to our collection. This book has been excellent. There are tabs both along the top and sides of the pages that direct you to parks and activities. There are sections on planning, transportation, the resorts, sections on each park, dining, and special events. It is indexed (librarians love this). In the back of the book there are special "PassPockets" that have special pockets where you can store maps, brochures, or envelopes. There are pockets for "Our Journey," "Our Room(s)," each day (10 of them), "Our Special Day," and "Our Magic Memories and Trip Report." It comes with a spiral binding, and laminated covers that allow you to fold and tuck the cover to protect pages, plus a built-in elastic band to mark pages or to keep the book secure. The covers include maps of Orlando area, Walt Disney World Properties, and spaces to record important phone numbers or addresses, and personal information in case you lose the book.
The book has handy hints that the other guides do not have. I especially liked the large, well illustrated maps printed on heavy duty paper for each of the parks. Each resort has three pages and includes room diagrams, dining, activities, transportation, and hints for making the most of the resort. There are ratings for quality, accessibility (how fast and easy it is to get to attractions), Theme, amenities, fun factor, and overall value and magic. It also includes reader ratings and ratings for younger kids, older kids, teens, young adults, mid adults, mature adults, families, couples, and singles.
It is much skimpier in covering individual rides at various parks than the other guides. Birnbaum's is much better than PassPorter when it comes to this. The description and ratings for restaurants and eateries is about the same as other guides. I was disappointed in their coverage of disability issues, but given the fact that Disney is extremely good to their disabled guests, I can overlook the missing information.
Even with the few flaws they have, the PassPorter is an excellent personal planning guide to Walt Disney World. Updates are available through their web site. Obviously they want you to purchase annual editions, but you could get away with purchasing it every 3 years or so unless you are a dire hard Walt Disney World visitor (or at least more than we are).

I read the 2009 guide this year before our trip to Disney. I loved it. The last time I was at Disney was 2000, so a lot of things had changed since then. Plus, this time I was taking my 2 year old.
I loved the reviews of the rides, attractions, and restaurants. Especially because they had a young child with them that helped review things. His reviews helped me decide which attractions would be the best for my child.
Also, since I hadn't been in the park for 9 years I wasn't sure where everything was, and I loved the pull-out maps included in the book.

This book has the pocket gimmick which can be gosh-darn useful. The information is good; I appreciate the way the authors highlight the new/changed/updated information. The thing that drives me nuts about this book is that most of the photos seem to be family photos and not actual resort/attraction photos. It's one thing to put a random photo of your cute kid in; it's another to show your wedding, honeymoon suite, etc. I found that off-putting.

I've used the Passporter books before - and have gotten a LOT of information out of them that I wouldn't have gotten otherwise. This one was purchased with the purpose of helping to plan our 12/09 Disney trip. A lot of the information was a repeat- but there were some new tidbits that I didn't know. Lots of notes later, I'm ready to sit down and start planning.

I have the 2009 edition. This book is great. It has fold out maps, pockets for tickets, spaces to write in reservation numbers, great details about every single aspect of Disney and sample itineraries so you can be sure to get the most out of your vacation. I'm definitely bringing it along on my Disney trip this coming August!

We haven't actually gone to Disney yet, but I like the way that this book is organized and can be used as a quick reference. It has places for collecting memorabilia and lots of places to write down details that you might need. It also has great tips. We will see how I feel upon returning from our trip. Can't wait!

PassPorter is the best Disney guidebook out there. Spiral bound, has pages for notes & full color maps of all the parks. Solid information for every part of Disney World from the resorts to the theme parks to the water parks. I found myself pulling it out many times during our trip. Also a great keepsake item after the trip is complete.

A very thorough travel guide AND planning tool for traveling to Walt Disney World. It has some awesome tips & great organizational thoughts to make the most of a vacation in this extremely intense location in the world!

I've purchased the PassPorter Walt Disney World books annually since 2000. It is by far the best travel guide/organization tool for preparing to visit the World, staying on track while there and keeping all the stuff collected along the way.

The Passporter is probably my favorite of the Disney guide books ... so much so that in 2008, we got the Deluxe edition!

Very good for what it tries to be. Good child/ tween reviews. More of a keepsake and journal for a trip to WDW IMHO
March 18, 2009
Another Great Disney info book.
April 14, 2011
An essential if you are going to WDW for a week or more - great reviews, very well organized, pockets to keep a the little papers in - a must for that magical vacation.
