| I also photo copied the maps in my passporter for each park, and then put our touring plans on the back. My mom had brought some other maps of the parks, but she had to keep reading the key and then finding that number on the map, She soon got frustrated and started using my Passporter maps, because they are so easy to read!!

| I had the spiral bound, but did not carry it to the parks. I made notes on a small sheet of paper that fit in the diaper bag. once we got back to the condo, I put all the information in. I know a lot of people use the string backpacks, but i can imagine that would get heavy. |

| I bought my first PassPorter (spiral) for our trip in February of this year. We carried it to the parks in our backpack. It wasn't heavy or bulky, and for us it was more informative than the park maps that we picked up at the entrances. We were constantly pulling it out and referring to it to find out what counter service food was available, checking maps, and figuring out how to get to other resorts or parks from where we were standing. My deluxe is on order (it was shipped a week ago, but hasn't arrived yet). We'll be taking it into the parks with us again this year, but I may remove the pages I don't need. |

| Just got back from my first ever WDW trip, and I took my Passporter with me almost every day. On the first 2 days, I brought the whole thing with me (I have the deluxe edition), but it got way too heavy carrying it around, so I finally woke up and realized I could take out some sections I didn't need each day, and that made it so much easier! |

| I take it with me and also leave it in the room, I use it all the time and before I go on our vacation I make copies of the pages I know I want to take to the parks and then I put them in small sheet protectors or even a zip lock. But with the copies you don't have to worry about ruining your Passporter. It's my bible and use it from the time I make reservations. |

| Welcome sriley65!! Come on in, read through some posts, start asking some questions!! Some people feel comfortable with the boards by getting their feet wet, others jump in and get used to it right away! (sorry, i've got swimming on the brain!)

| I carry my Passporter with me through the parks. The maps come in handy and when we are eating, breaking or waiting in line, we all take a gander at what we want to do next or the rest of the days plans. It keeps the excitement going and prompt conversation from others around us for shameless Passporter plugging. We normally do one park in the morning - go back to resort - then enter another park in the evening .... gotta love those EMH!!! |

| I have a deluxe and I always bring it with me on the trips, but I don't always bring it with me into the parks. I often just pull out the pages I need for that day. I do personalize mine - I print off my "non-passporter" info and hole punch it to fit in the passporter. Usually format it so I just fold a standard paper in half and it creates a nice double sided page I can punch and it fits in nicely. Love it! Now if only I could find a flat, travel-style 6-hole punch that would fit in my passporter and perfectly punch holes to fit in my passporter...then I could add stuff easily even out and about... |

| Hi, I'm the Pack mule - I think my DW puts everything but the kitchen sink in our back pack that I carry, lol. However, we only take the sections of the passporter for that day.

| To passporter or not to passporter, that is the question. I read thru my deluxe so much, before going, that a lot of the info was ingrained into me. I did take it with me, but, left it in the room. And reread each night. I color copied the park maps and their backs (more info). Because I knew we were planning to park hop, but, didn't really care which. I could take all 4 sheets with me and it weighed "nothing". The maps are the best ones out there. Even the park's maps were confusing compared to passporter's. |

| to the PassPorter boards saved2trek! The maps are one of my favorites. They are so detailed and so much more easier to understand.
