Here's what some of our readers say about PassPorter books:

"PassPorter is the best guidebook ever. I buy one every year, even if I'm not going to Walt Disney World." -- Jennifer Benoit

"This is a one-stop information source. In my busy lifestyle, I don't have time to do exhaustive research. PassPorter provides answers to all of my questions." -- Robbie Holloman

"Great maps, well organized, easy to carry on our trip, and ratings of rides and restaurants. We just love the whole package!" -- Missy Harvey

"I love everything! I bought two books before I found out about PassPorter. I love your book the best. I can take this with us and have all our information that we need at hand. Thank you!!!" -- DeAnn Rega

"I love the organization, the pockets, the planning assistance. You guys have done a GREAT job. I even told the cast member at Disney reservations about you guys. She said she would check you out." -- Johm Buxbaum

"PassPorter helped me organize scrapbook type things like brochures and record memories. I can't think of anything I disliked. I loved it! That's saying something from a super-organized person like myself!" -- Tracey Coleman

"Thank you, thank you, thank you. I got your Field Guide to the Disney Cruise Line about three weeks ago. Since then there has not been a day I do not pick it up to check out something about our upcoming cruise. Your guide is well written, very organized, and a wealth of knowledge. Thanks again for a job well done." -- Bill, Dee, Teresa, Courtney, & Megan

"I love the comprehensive detail about almost everything! While ignorance may be bliss, it doesn't appear to be an effective way to enjoy the Disney experience. Congratulations to you, your staff and associates, on providing an excellent resource for those of us which, until now, have been full of bliss!" -- Melisa McCelvey

	Learn all about the extremely popular Disney Vacation Club program at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and around the world!

If you've ever wondered what the club is all about or wanted to learn more, PassPorter's Disney Vacation Club Guide is the perfect introduction. This book will answer the most commonly asked questions to help you decide whether the Disney Vacation Club is the right investment for you. The e-book also explores the club's points system -- including how to buy, bank, and borrow points--show you how to choose a home resort, and discuss membership dues. Many PassPorter readers contributed their photos so we could include them in the e-book.

PassPorter's Disney Vacation Club Guide will help you manage your points, explore other club destinations, and explain the ins and outs of ownership. All of the Disney Vacation Club resorts have different themes and amenities. While the majority are located at Walt Disney World in Florida, two offer the opportunity for beach getaways at Vero Beach in Florida and Hilton Head Island in South Carolina.
