FROM THE AUTHORS: We've Been Working on an E-Book...
====================================================

Hi, {{user("firstname")}}! 

We've got a great new e-book project here in the works at PassPorter, which we hinted about in last week's newsletter. "PassPorter's Disney Character Yearbook" will be a compendium of all the live Disney characters you can find at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and on the Disney Cruise Line. Whether you're an autograph hound, or just curious about the identity of that scraggly fox in the mashed top hat you saw at the Magic Kingdom, this is going to be a fun e-book to have. There's only one little (or not so little) problem ... the manuscript is up to 300 pages. You see, the deeper we delved into the topic, the more characters we unearthed, and the more we had to learn about each one in order to live up to our own, demanding standards of quality. We've managed to work our way through the alphabet to "M" so far (it took a long time to get to Mickey), and we hope to have everything polished off in the next couple of weeks (see our note for PassPorter's Club members, below).

Now, in addition to the Character Yearbook, we've got a couple of other projects in the pipeline, including more e-books, and the next edition of PassPorter's Walt Disney World 2008 (due in November -- you can pre-order it now at http://www.passporterstore.com/store/2008.aspx ), and PassPorter's Open Mouse for Walt Disney World and the Disney Cruise Line: Easy Access Vacataions for Travelers with Extra Challenges (the second edition of PassPorter's Walt Disney World for Your Special Needs). Open Mouse is due out in September. And you thought summertime living was easy!

PassPorter Store News: Our PassPorter book close-outs have been very popular at discounts up to 90% (or as low as $1.95). Close-out books range from spirals and paperbacks to deluxe starter kits and refill kits. Close-outs are available for both our Walt Disney World and Disney Cruise Line books. Please note that all quantities are limited and when they are gone, they're gone. For details and prices, visit http://www.passporterstore.com/store/closeouts.aspx

PASSPORTER'S CLUB UPDATE
* More than 700 vacationers are now enjoying access to all our e-books and e-worksheets -- thank you for your continued support!

Meet us in person: Will you be at July's sold-out MagicMeets event in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania? We sure will! We'll be on hand to meet, greet, and maybe put on a presentation or two. Important: Fred Block, the event's founder and organizer, asks that everyone understand that "sold out" really means "sold out." You cannot buy admission at the door, so please don't drive to Harrisburg hoping you can get in - it isn't going to happen. But, if you've got a "golden ticket," we'll see you there!

MouseFest Park Schedule: For those of you joining us for MouseFest 2007, you can now consult the MouseFest Park of the Day schedule at http://www.mousefest.org -- stay tuned for more MouseFest announcements in the weeks and months to come.

In this issue, Feature Columnist Cheryl Pendry introduces us to one of California's (and the world's) great natural wonders, Yosemite National Park, and PassPorter Message Board guide (and passionate scrapbooker) Michelle Clark shares her tips for Finding Scrapbooking Supplies at Walt Disney World.

TRAVEL FEATURE: Yosemite - A Natural Wonder
========================================================
by Cheryl Pendry, PassPorter Featured Columnist

It's safe to say there are many wonders of the world. Some, like bustling cities around the world, have been created by mankind over many years, but there are others that owe their origin to nature and have changed very little in centuries. Yosemite National Park in California is one of those wonders that falls into the second category.

Covering almost 1,200 square miles in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, Yosemite is a four- to five-hour drive from San Francisco, making it a popular day trip for visitors staying in the Bay Area for a few days, and that's exactly how we explored Yosemite.

There are many companies offering day-long tours and most will have one thing in common - a very early start and a very late finish to your visit. We were picked up before 6:30 a.m. and didn't get back to our hotel until after 7:30 pm. But in that time, we were treated to some of the most famous sights in the park.

It's believed that Yosemite has been home to Native Americans for something like 8,000 years, but the discovery of gold in the Sierra Nevada foothills in 1849 brought thousands of miners to the area to seek their fortune. Once they discovered the area's wonders, Yosemite's fame quickly spread. Known as the "Incomparable Valley," before long, hotels were being built and livestock brought in to graze in the meadows. Fortunately, before too much damage could be done, President Abraham Lincoln signed a bill protecting Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias. Now, around four million people enjoy the beauty of Yosemite every year.

One part of the park that nearly all those four million visitors head for is Yosemite Valley, and it's no small wonder. Not only can you reach it all year round by car, it's also the best place to see beautiful meadows and get some superb views of the park's most famous rock formations and waterfalls.

Forget the waterfalls you've seen anywhere else, as they pale into insignificance compared to what Yosemite has to offer. The tallest is Yosemite Falls, more than 2,400 feet high. It's made up of three separate falls and even if you don't want to be active on your visit, it's easy to walk to Lower Yosemite Fall. You'll certainly feel the force of the water as you near it, particularly if the wind is blowing in your direction. Even on a dry day, an umbrella or coat is a good idea, as getting close to any of the falls is like stepping out in a rainstorm!

Another fall well worth seeing is Bridal Veil. Although it's a lot smaller than Yosemite Falls, at just 620 feet, if you see this first, as we did on our tour, it'll help prepare you for the breathtaking views you'll get of Yosemite Falls.

It's not just waterfalls that provide a stunning view in Yosemite. All around the valley are rock formations, with Half Dome up there with Yosemite Falls as one of the park's most recognizable icons. Looming almost 5,000 feet above the floor of the valley, it's something you can't fail to see as you travel around. Opposite Bridal Veil Falls is El Capitan, which at nearly 3,000 feet high, is the largest monolith of granite in the world.

While in the valley, it's worth heading for the Yosemite Valley Visitor Center complex, where you can find out more about the history of the area and the Indians who live here. The nearby Ansel Adams Gallery is also well worth a visit, as it displays some beautiful work from a range of photographers and artists.

Although you can see a lot from the floor of Yosemite Valley, even if you're short of time, you should head for some of the Giant Sequoia groves above the valley. Mariposa Grove is the most famous of these and, to give you an idea of the scale of the park, it's located 36 miles south of Yosemite Valley. Even when we visited in late April, there was still a lot of snow around and the trek down there was pretty treacherous, so if you plan on visiting Yosemite during the colder months, you're likely to find the road there closed.

Yosemite is also home to a number of hotels, with the Ahwahnee, a National Historic Landmark, perhaps the most beautiful of the choices for overnight stays there. Completed in 1927, if you like Disney's Wilderness Lodge, you'll love the design of this place. Even if you don't stay there, you may want to visit this beautiful resort.

It's the same story with the Wawona Hotel, which dates from the 19th century. Although not as stunning as the other two resorts, you can't beat the location of Yosemite Lodge at the Falls. As the name suggests, it's just a few minutes walk from Yosemite Falls and very centrally located.

Yosemite is technically open all year round, but parts of the park can be inaccessible by car due to snow between November and May. On a visit with my parents many years ago, we were the last car to be let through the park, as the snow was coming in. That was quite an experience and when they close the roads due to snow, they do so for a reason!

For that reason, most people visit in the summer months, although that's not the best time to see the waterfalls. Because most of the water in Yosemite comes from snow melting on the high ground, the waterfalls are at their best in April and May, which was certainly our experience during our visit. Despite that, if you choose to visit in the spring, bear in mind that you may still see an occasional winter storm.

Whatever time of the year you choose to visit Yosemite, you'll find a beautiful, unspoiled park waiting for you that's truly one of the natural wonders of the world.

DISNEY FEATURE: Finding Scrapbook Supplies at Walt Disney World
========================================================
by Michelle Clark, PassPorter Message Board Guide and Guest Contributor

What are the most treasured souvenirs you bring back from a trip to Walt Disney World? The most popular answer is no doubt the photographs taken during your vacation. Our family cherishes the photographic memories from our Walt Disney World trips over the years. And what better way to preserve those precious memories than to make a Disney scrapbook? Scrapbooking is currently one of the hottest hobbies in the country. Creating a Disney scrapbook is a great way to "keep the magic alive" even after your trip has ended. But you don't have to wait until you get home to stock up on scrapbooking supplies for your Disney scrapbook.

In the last several years Disney has begun offering a variety of Walt Disney World themed scrapbooking supplies. Check any resort gift shop or theme park store and you will find stickers, albums, embellishments, and page kits specifically themed for a Disney vacation scrapbook. But if you're a one-stop shopper, then "Disney's Wonderful World of Memories" is a must-visit. Located at Downtown Disney Marketplace, Wonderful World of Memories is the place where you can find the complete line of Walt Disney World scrapbook supplies.

Here's a sampling of what you might find:

Albums: Walt Disney World sells scrapbook starter kits, which include a 12" x 12" post-bound memory book, 15 page protectors, five scrapbook pages, 10 assorted color sheets, and one paper folder. These are available in several designs with Sorcerer Mickey, Disney Princesses, or the whole Disney gang on the cover. If you desire instant gratification, there is also a 10-page finished scrapbook which has 20 scrapbook sheets already embellished with gems, paper clips, ribbons and the like. All you need to do is insert your photographs and voila! Your scrapbook is complete! Most albums are currently priced in the $30 range. If you're looking for a smaller scrapbook, there is also a 5" x 7" album kit that includes a 12 page album, 12 sheets of Disney themed paper, alphabet stickers, Disney stickers, paper tags, and ribbon, all coordinating. These smaller album kits, priced at $15.00, would also be a great souvenir for a creative youngster!

Page kits: Disney has a large variety of 12" x 12" page kits to suit just about any vacationer. There are kits designed for each theme park, 2007 themes, Mickey and friends, and Disney Princesses. You can also purchase specific kits for the various thrill attractions at Walt Disney World and Florida vacations in general, including papers and embellishments for the Disney Cruise Line. Wonderful World of Memories has the best selection of page kits. You can expect to find eight to 12 different varieties of page kits there. Each page kit will make six to eight scrapbook pages and include approximately six patterned 12" x 12" sheets of paper, four solid coordinating sheets of paper, four-five pages of coordinating stickers, and four paper frames.

Paper: Disney doesn't sell individual sheets of scrapbook paper. If you want Walt Disney World themed paper without the extras included in kits, you can purchase a 40 page 12" x 12" paper kit for approximately $15 which includes 40 different Disney patterned sheets.

Tools: Walt Disney World has some unique scrapbooking tools that you won't find anywhere else, such as Castle, Mickey, and Pooh punches and Mickey Ear paper edgers. The Mickey punches consist of Mickey's whole body, not the Mickey icon "head."

Embellishments: Scrapbookers will delight in the large variety of Disney-themed embellishments including Mickey head eyelets ($3.00 for 25), Mickey head paper clips ($5.00 for 25), and patterned tape. 3-D layered embellishments of Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto, or Tinker Bell ($6.00 each) will add punch to your pages.

Stickers: You will find scrapbook stickers for just about anything Disney! Pooh, Princesses, theme parks, Mickey and friends are just a few of the options. Stickers are sold in sheets ($4.00 for two sheets), four-roll packages, or boxes. A 200-sticker box sells for $6.50. Stickers are not only a must for any scrapbook but also make a great gift for any child on your shopping list. You can also purchase sticker books to accompany those stickers--a great way to keep the kids busy on that long car ride home! Several of the stores I visited also carried stickers designed for the countries in World Showcase.

While Disney's Wonderful World of Memories has the best selection, World of Disney at Downtown Disney Marketplace offers most of the Disney scrapbook merchandise available at Wonderful World of Memories. Currently Disney Visa cardholders receive 10% off purchases at World of Disney. This could add up to substantial savings if you plan on buying larger-priced items such as scrapbooks and page kits.

If you don't make it out to Downtown Disney Marketplace, don't worry. Every resort gift shop I checked carried some scrapbook supplies. The Emporium on Main Street in Magic Kingdom had a large stock of scrapbooks, kits, and embellishments. If you happen to visit one of the Disney outlet stores in Orlando you might run across some clearance scrapbook items, but no guarantees since their inventory changes daily.

What you won't find at Walt Disney World are the basics: No card stock, adhesives, trimmers, etc. I also did not find refill page protectors for Disney albums.

Once you've got all the Disney-themed scrapbooking essentials, you can relive all the magical moments from your vacation while you preserve your photographs and keepsakes. All Disney scrapbook supplies are acid- and lignin-free and are safe for your pictures.

So if you're an avid scrapbooker with a need to feed your addiction or just a novice, take some time out during your Disney vacation to stock up on scrapbook materials. When you return home (and finish the mountain of laundry!), gather your vacation photos and start cropping!

DISNEY TIPS FROM FELLOW READERS
==========================================
Our readers are a wealth of information! Here are the winners in this month's tip contest:

PERFECT POSTCARDS
"Take enough return address labels and stamps for each day of your trip. Then, each day, purchase a postcard in the park you visit, and do a daily summary on the card, recounting all of the fun and any special 'catch phrases' or inside jokes (Little Red is OK!...name that ride!). Slap on the stamps and the address label (in the To: section) and mail it home to yourself that day. Then, later, when you are putting your photos away in the album, you can trim the postcards to fit among the day's photos and have a magical reminder to treasure in the future! (And cool mail waiting for you when you return!)"
-- contributed by Anne R. 

CLEVER CLOTHESPINS
"Whenever we travel, we include a baggie of the clip-style clothespins in our luggage. Not only are these great for hanging wet swim wear on built-in clotheslines, but they also work well for closing partially eaten snack bags as well as any stubborn draperies that insist on letting in light while you are trying to sleep!" 
-- contributed by Marsha B.

LET IT RAIN
"My best tip is to head to the parks even if it's raining! Be a kid again! Pull on your rain poncho and wear some clothes that dry relatively fast and splash in the puddles. My most memorable time at Walt Disney World came on Christmas Eve 2002. My son and I were supposed to go to the Polynesian Luau, but a storm canceled the dinner. Instead of going back to the Animal Kingdom Lodge, we took the monorail to the Magic Kingdom and decided to take complete advantage of the few hours left until park closing. We splashed in puddles and skipped down Main Street, nearly all alone in the park, as the rain started to subside. My son rode Goofy's Barnstormer ten times in row, and we got ourselves soaked even more by riding Splash Mountain several times. Don't let the rain scare you away. I will always fondly recall holding his soggy hand as we listened to our voices echo down the empty streets. The best gift Santa has ever given me was that rain."
-- contributed by Monica R.

CAPTAIN'S CORNER: Treasure Hunting Game
==========================================

Play our fun and quirky treasure hunting game, hosted by Captain Jack Skatt from our book, "PassPorter's Treasure Hunts at Walt Disney World." 

The Captain makes a study of the delightful details -- sometimes hidden, sometimes in plain sight but often overlooked -- at Walt Disney World and aboard the Disney Cruise Line. Using notes from his journals, he will lead you to this "treasure" at Disney with clues, questions, photos, or riddles. Your challenge is to discover the answer by searching your memory, visiting Disney, or even just looking really hard on the Internet. If you think you've found the answer, e-mail it to jackskatt@passporter.com -- the first person to correctly submit the FULL answer will receive a free PassPorter enamel pin or PassPorter name badge pin.

Here is this week's journal entry:

I recently came across a very odd item that can apparently be shipped from Walt Disney World through the U.S. mail ... it's a coconut... that's right, a coconut. It comes pre-labelled and pre-stickered with the appropriate shipping method sticker -- no box or envelope needed. Who wouldn't want to get a coconut ... that's right, a coconut ... in the mail! Can you imagine Grandma Leekebatam getting a huge coconut ... that's right, a coconut! ... from Jack Jr. at Walt Disney World in her mailbox? This was so amazing to me that I just had to take a photo of the $14 coconuts!"

Where at Walt Disney World can you buy coconuts that can be shipped in the mail?

Q & A WITH JENNIFER & DAVE
====================================

Disdadnmi asks: Sorry if this sounds kind of silly, but my kids and myself are quite avid Pepsi drinkers. Coke is fine if that's all that's available, but on our trip last Fall, we took Disney's Magical Express from the airport and had no rental car and after about five days I would have paid darn near anything for a Pepsi but I couldn't find a place in Walt Disney World that sells it!

What is the best way to get some 'contraband' soft drinks inside the gates for our next trip? Seriously thought about taking a cab to a grocery store but thought better of it."

Dave and Jennifer answer: Disney has an exclusive relationship with Coca Cola, so you won't find Pepsi products at any Disney-owned facility. Actually, taking a cab to a grocery store may be one of the least expensive ways to get this done, but it's not necessarily the cheapest and most convenient. Try the grocery delivery services, like GardenGrocer.com.They can have your pop waiting for you at the resort when you check in. If you order $200 worth of groceries from Garden Grocer, delivery is free (nobody drinks that much pop), but they charge $12 for smaller deliveries. That's certainly comparable to any cab fare you're likely to pay, and the convenience factor is easily worth that much.

Taking a cab is still going to be cheaper than either renting a car or using a town car service that includes a free beverage stop (such as Quicksilver) if a grocery stop is your only reason for doing it, but that cab trip also takes time out of your vacation. However, from Downtown Disney, it's a short, cheap cab ride to the nearest convenience store on 535 (Vineland-Apopka Road).

If you want to do some research, look into whether the convenience stores at the Hess gas stations on property carry Pepsi products (I could find all the addresses at the Hess web site but not the phone numbers, and YellowPages.com and WhitePages.com only had one of the three stations listed). There's a Hess right across Buena Vista Drive from the Downtown Disney Pleasure Island bus stop, another on Buena Vista Drive close to the Epcot area resorts near the entrance to Disney-MGM Studios, and another just a short way from the MK resorts at the Car Care Center (all three are marked "Gas" on the PassPorter Walt Disney World Property Map on the inside of PassPorter Walt Disney World's back cover). Now, there is a chance Disney actually owns those stations (meaning it'll be, 'No Pepsi, Coke!') but then again, maybe not."
