"Word of Mouse" on PassPorter's Club: What do folks think? About This Page:

[Jennifer Marx]

Someone today asked about feedback on the PassPorter's Club so far. Never content to simply give a simple reply (i.e., "an overwhelmingly positive feedback and response!"), I prepared this longish answer and I thought others might find it interesting.

PassPorter owes much of its success to what we call "word of mouse" -- PassPorter was a total unknown when our first guidebook came out in May 1999, but thanks to the Internet community we hit the Amazon travel bestseller list (# 11) by August 25, 1999. That blew us away, and the power of the Internet continues to amaze us. The simplicity of it is that we just listen to what our readers and fellow vacationers want and provide it, and you in turn embrace us and our sometimes quirky, slightly revolutionary ideas. The awards we've won are just icing on the cake. What really matters is YOU. As a reader recently said, "I love the whole PassPorter experience." That sums it up for us, too.

Anyway, you don't need me to tell you what people think about PassPorter's Club -- you can read their comments yourself. Here are several links to threads:

Thank you all so much for embracing our quirky, slightly revolutionary idea once again!

I'll add to this list over time. Perhaps our Club Passholders will post their thoughts here, too.

Well, I'm hardly impartial but I think the Club is amazing! I love the new e-worksheets and can't wait for the upcoming new e-books. I'm having so much fun customizing them for our December MouseFest trip.

I love it! The e-books are a great addition to the PassPorter!

I love it all !!!!!!!!!!!!! It all makes the trip more magical than it already is going to be. October 2007 here we come.

There are hardly enough words to express one's gratitude for the extremely valuable vacation-planning information that is contained within the Passporter Club. It makes planning our WDW vacations so much easier by presenting information in a well-organized and user-friendly format. I must admit I was hesistant at first because of the price of the annual membership and originally signed on for just the monthly membership. Well- it took less than 24 hours for me to see that it was well worth the annual price and I made arrangements to have my membership converted from monthly to annual! Thanks for all the hard work you've put into it Jennifer! I can't wait to see what gets added next!!!

I fell in love with the Passporter book back in 2002 when I picked up my first copy. I still love it and always look forward to pre-ordering the next one!!

I am so hooked on Passporter's now, I can't imagine how I planned all of the previous trips without it! I especially wish I had heard of it before our Dec 2005 Grand Trip! But those days are over! I just converted a few people at my office to Passporters too!
Jennifer and Dave...thanks so much for all you do! It's a wonderful thing to bring the magic to so many people and allow those same people to meet and share that magic with each other!

I've been having fun downloading worksheets and planning eBooks and then filling in the pages for our trip that is now only 11 weeks away. These planning tools are helping the time to pass between now and then.

I can say that I am officially addicted to Passporters (the books and the site) now. I've even recommended them to at least 4 other people I know that are planning trips to WDW this summer. Although, pride and the spirit of one-up-manship have kept me from recommending them to my Sister-in-law. (I know, not very Disneylike, but we all have our quirks right?)

I love not only the tips, but also all the fun trivia and tidbits that I learn. When I share them with my DD, she always looks at me and says,"Which thread was that on?"

I can't say enough about how I love all the new e-worksheets, e-books, etc.!! I was introduced to Passporter last spring (2006) while planning my first trip to the World since I was a child, and now I not only got this years refill for my deluxe binder, but I also have this years Disneyland planner, and the deluxe edition of the Disney Cruise Passporter. I have so much fun planning our upcoming vacations that sometimes I spend hours at a time on my computer and flipping through my books! My husband says I'm obsessed, I say it's just wonderful planning! Last years trip to the World is proof of that! Everything I planned with my Passporter went off without a hitch and we had a wonderful time!
Thanks so much!!

I love the Passporter Club. The personalized eworksheets and ebooks are a valuable asset to the Passporter. I've already preordered the 2008 version!! Can't imagine planning a trip without my Passporter.

I was given a Passporter book for Christmas 2006 and have only just decided to look at the associated website.
Why did I wait so long!! The book is brill but the Pasporter community adds that extra something, with loads more info. I can find that something to do that we haven't done before

I did the same thing - and share your sentiment!
