Q: What do our readers like best about PassPorter?

"There isnt just one thing - loved all of it! It got me excited about all of the possibilities "
-- comment submitted by Carrie Rich (2013-05-10 13:05:55)

"The comprehensive nature of the book combined with the down to earth reviews, suggestions, tips, and thoughts. The user driven content helped us plan a wonderful trip, and, in part, inspired me to become a Disney travel professional. "
-- comment submitted by Jason Rabinowitz (2013-04-24 22:04:16)

"EVERYTHING! This PassPorter helped me plan a long-awaited trip for my son and I in 2010 - after not having been to WDW in many years myself, it was a life-saver! The last time I had been to WDW as a child, they were just building EPCOT, so the PassPorter helped with transportation, meal plans, extras, and as I said earlier EVERYTHING else! SOOOOOO many questions! If we do make it back in November, it will be the week of my son's 19th birthday, so any information regarding planning a special event will help!"
-- comment submitted by Melissa Gasparini (2013-04-14 16:04:00)

"Found the general tips very helpful, pulled it apart and only took the section relevant to a park on the day. Great advice about getting good seats etc Excellent job! Very helpful and I've recommended it to my cousin"
-- comment submitted by Melinda Goodin (2013-03-11 17:03:13)
