PassPorter Community Tip: A "Brit" Different Guidebook
PassPorter's Walt Disney World for British Holidaymakers is a "brit" different view of Walt Disney World for our UK friends by author/columnist Cheryl Pendry! This comprehensive, 260-page e-book covering every aspect of visiting Walt Disney World from the United Kingdom. It takes you through your entire visit, from the planning stages to working out the best way to get there and get around, with details about arriving in America, passports and immigration, duty-free allowances, driving in the States, and staying in touch while you're away!

Club Passholders get it now in the Reading Room. The e-book is also now on sale to the general public in the PassPorter Store.

Angry Gustav, I am not afraid of you!!!!

You just keep minding your own business and stay away from Florida. Do you hear me?!?!? I mean it! You can skirt right on by and drop your rain, but you will not keep me from visiting my happy place. I live in Texas and rain doesn't happen often enough for my tastes, so you bring it on! Rain never hurt us before. We even did MNSSHP in the rain! We will have our ponchos and we will keep right on touring! We haven't visited since 2005 and you will not bring us down!!!!




Thank you. Rant over

We're supposed to leave on Saturday to begin our WDW vacation! Gustav better just keep his distance!!! My hubbys co-worker just told him he cancelled a trip to Louisiana because hurricane Gustav is heading that way!!! I hope it stays a tropical storm and keeps well away from us! I don't mind a little rain, we had tons on our last visit. It wasn't so bad, and it did keep things a litle cooler.

We survived CAT 2 Charley in 2004 - Disney handles this GREAT - no worries. It was virtually a non-event. Parks closed a little early one day and were back up on schedule the next day as if nothing happened.

I leave on Sunday so I am looking at this too. I think we WANT Gustav to stay OVER Cuba as it will keep it lower intensity. If it goes South of Cuba, it would really intesify. That is what Charley did - it was a CAT 4 when it hit the coast so was still a CAT 2 when it reached Orlando. If Gustav stays to a 2 or 3, even if he crosses mid-state, we'll be fine!
