| New E-Book: PassPorter's Disney Vacation Guide A brand new e-book is now available in the PassPorter's Club ... PassPorter's Disney Vacation Club Guide: For Members and Members-To-Be. Note: This new e-book was first released to PassPorter's Club passholders as a thank-you for your fantastic support. It is now also available for regular sales in the PassPorter Store for $7.95.  If you've ever wondered what the club is all about or wanted to learn more, PassPorter's Disney Vacation Club Guide is the perfect introduction. This book will answer the most commonly asked questions to help you decide whether the Disney Vacation Club is the right investment for you. The e-book also explores the club's points system -- including how to buy, bank, and borrow points--show you how to choose a home resort, and discuss membership dues. Many PassPorter readers contributed their photos so we could include them in the e-book. For those who are already members, this guide brings together everything you need in one place, including a look at all the ways you can spend your points and the various benefits available to you. Don't forget that Disney Vacation Club members can use their points to visit other destinations around the world, including Disney parks and cruises, along with top hotels in a range of cities. You can even take an Adventures by Disney package tour. PassPorter's Disney Vacation Club Guide will help you manage your points, explore other club destinations, and explain the ins and outs of ownership. All of the Disney Vacation Club resorts have different themes and amenities. While the majority are located at Walt Disney World in Florida, two offer the opportunity for beach getaways at Vero Beach in Florida and Hilton Head Island in South Carolina. PassPorter's Disney Vacation Club Guide offers an in-depth look at these resorts, which are not usually covered in Disney guidebooks. We'll also take a peek at two new properties Disney has in the works, one in California and one in Hawaii. Pages: 170 Photos: 130 E-Book Cover and Sample Page:   Table of Contents: See next post below. PassPorter's Club Passholders: You may download this e-book free-of-extra-charges in the Reading Room at any time as a benefit of your pass. If you're not a Club Passholder, you may learn more about the PassPorter's Club program here. If you have questions, please use the links near the top of this page to contact us.
