I have only owned the spiral bound PP- however, I can say that it has been on 2 trips with us and is still in good shape....the only thing I don't like about it is that you have to take the whole book with you to the parks instead of being able to take the maps and envelopes for the day out and leaving the rest behind. The deluxe seems like a lot less to tote around. I think when I update (which will be soon!) I will get a deluxe.

I went back and forth and finally ordered my first deluxe! I started my love affair with passporter with the original one for special needs. Then I ordered the spiral 2007 for our trip last January. I bought a 2006 for $1 for my trip last September, and purchased a 2008 for my brother who will be returning home from Iraq in March and taking his family to WDW.

We're going in April and I can't wait to fill my Deluxe passporter with all of the necessary information!

I have only purchased the deluxe version of PP. My firat one was purchased in 2003 and I purchase the annual updates each year. I have planned three trips so far and carried my PP on each trip. I will never purchase any other planner unless PP can find a way to improve on perfection.

Cool

I have both books but I love my deluxe, its like my bible. I buy refills every year whether I'm going to Disney or not. It keeps me up to date every year. We go every other year. I can't go to Disney without my Passporter.

Talking Deluxe

I LOVE my deluxe PassPorter. The flexibility to add things in and take things out I won't need is great. It's always in my bag and I tend to pull it out at lunch or if I'm sitting in Barnes & Noble and fill in more information.

Also, I'll take the daily pockets with me each morning, as they have my ADR info, but also gives me a place to store all my receipts, as well as fill them in throughout the day.

If you can't find the 2008 version in a bookstore, I think your only option is going to be to order the 2007 version since the 2009 version isn't due out til October and I know this site is out of the 2008 version as well. It shouldn't be significantly different than the 2008 version, and I believe you can download updated pages from this site.

Binder

I am new to this whole passporter thing...can anyone tell me what kind of binder I can get to use with the papers I download. The information is great however I would like to make sure that I can keep it all together...any suggestions would be appreciated. Also where can I get more information on the passporter e-books.

Thanks

We buy the spiral ones every year and they get loved almost to death. We carry them everywhere when planning our annual visit (the car, the kitchen, the reading room...you know, the one with the little throne). We always enjoy getting a nice new one. If I download a page I just fold it length-wise and stick it in the last pocket. Not very tidy maybe, but works for us. If it's only prices or times or something small that needs changing, I use a colored pen and mark it directly in my Passporter.

Our local Barnes and Noble actually still had a 2008 Passporter in stock last month, so call your area branch of the big chain stores and see if that's the case where you live.

The downloads are laid-out to fit the PassPorter binder, which is not a common layout here in the US. However, you can punch holes in the paper wherever you wish, for any binder that would fit. If you print the pages as intended, they're 5.5" w x 9" h, so you could use any binder that held sheets of that dimension. There are a variety of Franklin Planner, Fil-O-Fax, Daytimer, etc. binders that might work, if you punch the holes in the right place. However, since normally you'd be printing those onto 8.5" x 11" paper, you could even adjust the printer settings and make them "large-type" 8.5" x 11" printouts, or put them in an 8.5" x 11" binder without trimming the paper down to 5.5" x 9", and have wide margins for your own notations.

What kind of information about the e-books are you looking for? Each has a full description at the PassPorter store - do you have questions we haven't anticipated?
