I buy a Passporter every year, but now I feel like maybe I won't be getting all the information available unless I pay to be a member of the club. I mean absolutely no offense to anyone that chooses to join. I have been here for almost five years and have made some really good friends and that will not change, but I find the whole Private Club thing just so ..... not me. Again, sorry to be so negative.  |
I purchased just one month today to see if I'll need the club for an entire year (that calendar is so enticing
)...if I do then I've just paid 5 bucks more per year than everybody else and I can live with that. If this club is something that I don't need for a full year then I'll just use a month now and then buy another month in several months and so on and so forth (that's OK right Jennifer?). I put a lot of thought into this today and this is the solution I came up with for myself since I buy way too much information just to plan my WDW vacations. You don't have to purchase a full year. You can just try it out for a day to see if you like it...it costs $1. I belong to several message boards and on most of them there are private groups that offer something different in addition to the services they provide for a fee. I think that everyone who purchased into the Passporer Club that they have joined up for a year or whatever is making it seem like it's a "group" type of thing, but it's no different from the "Who Got Their 2006 Passporter Yet?" type of thread. It's just a different type of product. I have one of the E-books and in the terms it says you can't share it...you know what? Here's an idea...
***Why not give a rank badge to the folks who participate in the message boards who bought Passporters and E-books as well as the Passporter Club to make things "fair" for all. I don't mean to rain on the parade of the Passporter Club subscribers, but I think it's a god solution. There can be a badge that says "Passporter Owner", another that says "Passporter & E-book owner" and so on and so forth. If it's a bad idea then it's a bad idea

That's my 2 cent...I'm going to go mind my business now. I do get what you mean though Joy. I hope you reconsider and give it a try whether it's a day or month at the least. It may just work out for you.
