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.

Exclusive D23 Pin?

Are the rumours true?

Is Disney sending a special "1st day member" pin to D23 members who joined on 10 MAR 09?

I've seen a couple of these pins on eBay (for RIDICULOUS amounts of money!) and wonder if any Passporters who are also members of D23 have received them yet.

I joined on 10 MAR 09, but ANYTHING Disney is sending me takes AGES to cross the Atlantic!

Do I have something "extra special" to look forward to?

They sure are.

There are a couple of threads somewhere around here from the past week where people have "checked in" when they got theirs.

I got mine just the other day!

And what makes you think I might be in the least bit impatient?

Actually, now that I KNOW it's true I can't WAIT to get one!

I really hope they're sending them to overseas members too!

Thanks to everyone for confirming ....... and getting me all excited!!

Yep! Got mine today! I was so excited - I've been checking the mail daily all week - nothing.

Then I went in the living room, and the dog wagged a small padded envelope off the coffee table. No one claims to know where it came from (of course not - I'm guessing the dog answered the doorbell!) but it was Fedex, not Post Office!

It's great! (Much nicer than the 1st day shirt, which I decided not to buy!)

I hope you don't mind a related question.

I thought I read somewhere that there was going to be

a D23 meeting for the public in Disneyland in September!!!

Now that would be fun to go to.

You're right! The D23 Expo is happening mid September at Disneyland. Check the D23 site for details! I'm not sure whether it's restricted to D23 members or not.

Here's the link Scott.

D23 Expo | The Official Community for Disney Fans

DH and I are trying to work things out to be there, but it's not looking too good yet.

I like it that you don't have to buy a ticket for the entire time if you don't want to. You can buy it for only one day. And you don't have to be a D23 member. There are general admission tickets.

I checked Ebay this morning, because I was curious about your comment about people selling these pins. $150!!! Wow. That's kind of sad.

Just picked mine up at the Post Office today! What a great surprise, & an awesome pin. Hang in there Julian! The pin has already made it to Canada, so hopefully yours will cross the Atlantic soon! Let us know when yours
arrives.
