PassPorter's
Field Guide to the Disney Cruise Line
Authors
Jennifer Marx (formerly Jennifer Watson) and Dave Marx remain the primary authors of this field guide, sharing their enthusiasm, passion, and experience aboard the Disney Cruise Line!
Jennifer
Marx grew up in Michigan, where you can stand anywhere in the state and be less
than six miles from a lake, river, or stream. Her shipboard experiences include two weeks
aboard a sailboat as a crew member and nine months working aboard the sternwheeler
"Michigan" on Lake Biwa, Japan. Her first Disney Cruise Line adventure was for
three nights in October 1999. A four-night cruise followed in May 2001. Her most recent
cruise was a four-night on the Disney Wonder in December
2006 for MouseFest. She's taken a total of 12 Disney cruises! Jennifer is the author of over 30 books, including the travel guide that
started it all: "PassPorter Walt Disney World." Jennifer makes her home in the
university town of Ann Arbor, Michigan, where she lives with her partner Dave and their
infant son, Alexander.
Dave Marx may be
considered a Renaissance Man, a jack-of-all-trades, or a dilettante, depending on how you
look at things. He took a 20-year hiatus between his early journalism training and the
commencement of his full-time writing career. Beyond co-authoring "PassPorter Walt
Disney World" with Jennifer, he's been a radio writer/producer; recording engineer;
motion picture music editor; broadcast supervisor; tax preparer; cab driver; whitewater
safety and rescue instructor; developer and instructor of online publishing courses; and a
newsletter editor and promotions chief for an online forum. He discovered the Walt Disney World Resort in March 1997 and first cruised in October 1999. He's since cruised eleven more times, including his award cruise for being a Million-Point Winner at "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire--Play It!" at Walt Disney World. Dave lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
