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.

UPDATE: What\'s in your PP before a trip?

Now, I'm leaving in about 5 weeks or so. You would not believe all the stuff I have in my deluxe. I find myself keeping and storing so much more these days.

I was wondering , everybody whose WDW trip is 8 weeks out or less, What's in your PP right now?



UPDATE:

Well here we are 6 days out. I look inside my PP and what do I see?

My current confirmation faxed from TA, home made itinerary w/ photos/PS's/park hours, F&WF schedule for our certain days, F&WF booth ratings and price guide printout, handwritten notes to my DS's teachers regarding being absent/homework, my AP, my Fl res Dining discount card and last but not least a picture of my DH (cause he's not coming on the Adults Only F&WF Weekend Trip).

Anyone want to update or add their responses??

Re: What\'s in your PP before a trip?

My PP is stuffed to the gills! It's a good thing I sprang for the deluxe, or I shudder to think what condition the regular edition would be in! In addition to all the regular pages, my PP currently contains: a calendar, a pad of post-its, a pad of post-it tabs, PP pass-alongs, a print-out of phone numbers, another calendar with park hours and parade/show times on it, a to-do list, a packing checklist, flight confirmation printouts, an airline coupon, a partial map of Orlando, driving directions from the airport, rental car confirmation print-out, resort confirmation print-out, a printed plan/trip diary page for each day of the trip, printouts of all our PS's, a budget sheet and extra note pages! The really sad thing is that is AFTER I thinned it out!

Re: What\'s in your PP before a trip?

Well, I always feel kind of left out on these post because I don't have a PP yet and I go to Disneyland not WDW. But, I do have the deluxe binder with passpockets and since the DLR PP is not out yet I have had to improvise and make my own info sheets that include our itinerary, list of favorite dining places, list of shopping places, list of shopping ideas and who to buy for, DLR tips page, I got some old maps of the parks, phone list, LA and Anaheim radio stations for traffic updates, directions to the hotel, all of this I have laminated and made to fit the binder, also maps of California and Southern California, phone/address book, plastic credit/business card holder, and another little plastic sleave to hold postcard stamps, note/journal pages. Now its just a matter of waiting to fill some more stuff in i.e. insurance cards, credit cards, DLR package paperwork (which should be here the first week of next month - yippie).

Re: What\'s in your PP before a trip?

I don't really put anything in it until I get to Disney. I write in it every day and store my days receipts in it.

Re: What\'s in your PP before a trip?

I've currently got my airline e-ticket receipt, the receipts for the trip payments, my Disney Visa reward card (as well as the brochure that came with it), my quick and casual meal vouchers and a coupon for the off-site parking lot I'm going to leave my car at (instead of parking at the airport).

What's in your PP before a trip?

I know we're all friends here, but really. Isn't this a little TMI?

too funny!
I'm not going until Feb., but I do put my confirmations(hotel(s), flights), tickets, and my handy dandy ink pen. Whatever receipts I get, usually get thrown into a bag during the trip.

Re: What\'s in your PP before a trip?

We are 47 days out right now and the excitement is building...not that it wasn't 425 days ago when we decided to go.

I love the idea about post-its in your PassPorter. I just ran to our office and grabbed a tablet of them and put it in mine. Mine is packed to the gills...and to top it off, my elastic band broke. I'll have to figure out something else to use to hold it together.

I don't use the elastic band I just put a fat rubber band around mine when it started to bulge and it worked so I left it. Mine is also overflowing. I think I'll need the deluxe for the next trip.

Re: What\'s in your PP before a trip?

I used it to make a note to myself on what I think we would like to do. We did keep to the schedule and did make some alterations and had a great time even if we weren't hungry? We still kept up with the PS and had an appetizer. DD was hungry every 3 hours. Growing girl she is.
I brought a journal and wrote down everything everyday that we did. We are planning on Disney Land in 5 years and WDW again in 10. Great experience. I'm glad Jeanne didn't ruin it for us. Enjoy your trip.

Re: What\'s in your PP before a trip?

My trip is not for awhile, But mine is filling up fast.

We are only going to be there for 5 days, and there are 10 pockets (I think). I made a character dinner at the LTT, other than that we do not know which days we will be at each park, so I labeled my extra pockets with each theme park. I put all my info for that park in that parks pocket, so no matter what day I am there I can find my info!

Re: What\'s in your PP before a trip?


Mine is also busting at the seams! I am trying to figure out how to extend the snap on mine... if I could add a piece of material with a male and female snaps, it would fit much, much more....

Good luck stuffing it full!
