Do you purchase a new passporter every year?? About This Page:

[racha6400]

I went to disney world in Sept 2009, and purchased the 2009 passporter. I loved it! We booked another trip for the Sept 2010. Any advice on whether it is worth purchasing a new 2010 passporter, or should my 2009 be sufficient? I am wondering how much more information could be in the 2010 edition.

As always, thanks for your help!

I end up getting refill pages for mine every other year as that's our schedule. It's a must for me to get the updated version!

yes I definitely think it is worth it. You can buy the refills.

Well, you can buy refills if you own the deluxe binder.

I'd hold off on asking this question until after folks have the new edition in their hands. We've made a bunch of improvements. Meanwhile, though, Disney makes a certain number of changes every year, but few of those for 2010 are all that noteworthy (wait another year, for the Fantasyland upgrade to be in high gear...), other than the opening of the Contemporary's Bay Lake Tower, Kidani Village at Animal Kingdom Lodge, a handful of restaurant changes.... Most folks, though, will be fine using the 2009 in 2010 (we don't hard sell around here ).

Thanks so much for the honesty, unfortunately, I did not buy the deluxe edition last year. I loved the book, and we used it all the time. I think my next purchase will be for the deluxe edition.

We buy a new Deluxe Passporter and some extra Pass Pockets every year. It makes a great keepsake! And if, 20 years from now, we need to know what WDW was like in 2009, we'll be able to look it up.

I buy a refill pack for my deluxe if we're planning a trip that year. I was lucky enough to get a complimentary copy for my picture this year so I didn't have to decide if I should get one or not even though we aren't planning a trip in 2010.

I pre-ordered the 2010 deluxe edition. We purchase a new one for every trip...we go every 2 years. Now all I have to purchase is the refill for each trip. I love Passporter. Most of my old ones have gone to friends to check out to see if they wanted to order one...most have! After we get them back, we keep them for kind of a historical, nostalgic look back.

Thanks Dave and Jennifer for a fabulous guide!!!!

I prefer the book to the binder (sorry) and I love having all my notes and memories to look back on so I buy a new one for each trip. I love using all the stickers and filling out the page on what we saw and did and the magical moments from each day.

I have my fingers crossed for the new updates DLR passporter before we go there next.

I get the refill to the deluxe every year. The best thing I ever did was getting a deluxe version.

[scottjs]

I buy one every year. And I am going to WDW in 2010!

But may I say Dave I really appreciate your low pressure

sales technique. You and Jennifer are the best!!!

I buy the regular version every couple of years and make notes is them as the information is updated. I buy the yellow envelope pages for each trip (now that I have learned to really appreciate them). I loan my old passports out to friends, co-workers and family. they love it because it has all of my notes. I have been thinking about buying the deluxe version but I am not sure about the binder. Personally from the pictures the binder looks kind of ugly. Sorry. I have been thinking of buy the refill pages and then creating my own binder with the circle or disc binding system.

We go a minimum of once a year. We used to buy a new one every year. Now we buy two! One for her and refills for me! Honestly you can do every other year though. For us waiting for the passporter to come is part of the magic.

I do the same thing.

2009 was my first one, but I have a feeling I'll want a new one for 2010. I love filling out the pockets...and I did all of mine in ink...so, easy choice! There's so little that I want from Santa (and I don't think he can make good on my wish for my husband to come home from Afghanistan), I think he can bring me this one!
