[Jennifer Marx]

A brand new e-book is now available in the PassPorter's Club just in time for Valentine's Day ...
PassPorter's Disney Weddings & Honeymoons: Dream Days at Disney World and on Disney Cruises.

Note: This new e-book was first released to PassPorter's Club passholders as a thank-you for your fantastic support. It became available for regular sales in the PassPorter Store on Thursday, February 12, 2008 for $7.95.

Walt Disney World hosts more than 1,500 weddings each year, and it's one of the most popular honeymoon destinations in the world. Whether you're looking for a casual vow renewal on the beach, a designer wedding in the shadow of Cinderella Castle, or a honeymoon with a touch of pixie dust, this book is for you!

PassPorter's Disney Weddings & Honeymoon is both a guidebook and a bridal organizer tailored to the unique requirements of planning a wedding, vow renewal, or commitment ceremony at Walt Disney World or on the Disney Cruise Line. It will take you through the entire process, outline your options, offer valuable tips, organize your information, and help you plan your event down to the last detail--including what to say when the umpteenth person asks, "Is Mickey going to officiate?" (Answer: "No, that's Goofy's job!").

We've combined everything you'll want to know about prices, the contract, locations, food, decor, entertainment, photography, and transportation with worksheets that help you capture essential details, compare choices, and record your inspiration. We've also included two chapters full of ideas for making a Walt Disney World or Disney Cruise Line honeymoon extra special. And you can keep all your wedding and honeymoon information together by inserting pages from this guide in your Deluxe edition of PassPorter's Walt Disney World or PassPorter's Disney Cruise Line and Its Ports of Call.

Well done Carrie!!

[Mesqui]

I just downloaded it. It's great. Thank you so much!!!

[Queeniemeg24]

Thanks so much for the wonderful book!!! I'm not engaged yet, (have to wait for Boyfriend to finish college, hopefully only one more year). But have been dreaming of a Disney wedding since forever. Boyfriend and I talk about a Disney wedding all the time. He's totally on board with it and can't wait to plan it. I just downloaded the book yesterday and read the whole thing! Then highlighted things and read it to my Mom. This book was great for us because my parents will be paying for my wedding and they wanted to know more about the whole process now before we actually get to planning it.

Thanks again!

[Elastigirl]

Thanks for the nice comments, ladies!

Megan: It makes me so happy to hear the book is useful for you as you plan! Keep an eye out for updates - Disney's pricing and policies will no doubt change between now and when you are ready to sign on the dotted line.

[Queeniemeg24]

Thanks Carrie!

You and all the other ladies have helped me a lot in explaining to my Parents and Boyfriend how to have a Disney Wedding. I check these boards and the Disboards everyday. I have learned so much! I will definitely look for the updates.
