Updates:
What's New and Changed
Here are a few items of relevant news:
Disney Cruise Line announced this week that the Magic will be returning to the Mediterranean in the summer of 2010 as well as going to Northern Europe. There will be four 12-night cruises to the Baltic and
Northern Europe; and four 10-night and four 11-night cruises to the Mediterranean. In addition, there will two repositioning cruises to and from Barcelona and Dover (one 7-night cruise and one 8-night cruise) and two trans-Atlantic repositioning cruises (14-night cruises). These itineraries will be available for booking on October 14, 2008 at 8:00 am ET. And, yes, our 2010 edition of PassPorter's Disney Cruise Line guidebook will cover all the new ports, as always!
But lest the Magic have all the fun, the Disney Wonder will also make some changes for the summer of 2010. The Wonder will sail 4- and 5-night itineraries that summer that will include Key West, a new port for the Wonder, as well as some Castaway Cay "Double Dip" itineraries.
Guests who book the March 8, 2009 4-night cruise on the Disney Wonder will have the option to book a new pirate-themed package, "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Legend Lives On." This event is $250.00 per person (all ages - adult or child) and will include onboard seminars with talent from the wildly popular films, meet and greets, screenings of all three films, unique entertainment, and the ability to purchase special, limited edition merchandise.
Haunted Carriage Rides are now being offered at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort. Departing each evening between October 3-November 1, 2008, every half hour between 7:30 pm and 10:30 pm, the carriage rides are 25 minutes long and feature a telling of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" by your driver. The cost is $60 per carriage -- the carriages can hold up to four adults. The rides can be booked by calling 407-WDW-PLAY.

Disney Tips:
From Fellow Readers
Our readers deliver a wealth of information! Here are the winners in this month's tip contest:
CHAFING CHALLENGES (Pt 3)
"While we were at Walt Disney World this summer, one of the members of our group was having great difficulty and pain keeping up due to chafing. Being the mom of a toddler, I immediately thought of the baby care center and popped in there to grab some moisturizer. The nurse on duty in the center said that many many people (mostly men) have the chafing problem when its very hot. And she recommended the Balmex (diaper rash cream) they had in the store to take care of the problem. I took the Balmex out to the affected member of our party, and apparently it did the trick! So my tip is this: If you or someone you are traveling with has an issue with chafing, pop into the baby care center and grab some Balmex to take care of the issue!"
-- contributed by Angela S. .
KID'S CANDIDS
"If you have children that might like to take their own pictures, be sure to take a disposable camera with you from home. They are nearly double the cost at Disney. Better yet, plan ahead and get your child an inexpensive digital camera (something cheap enough you wouldn't care if it gets lost), that way you don't have to pay to print all those "nothing" pictures."
-- contributed by Michele G.
RECOGNIZABLE RENTAL CAR
"On our last trip to Walt Disney World, we rented a car and drove to the parks for the first time. To help find our rental car in the parking lots, I purchased a not-so-common antenna topper to place on the rental car's antenna. I can't tell you how many times our Grumpy topper helped us find our unfamiliar car!"

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. (Please note: Players can win once every 3 months.)
Here is this week's journal entry:
"I'm really enjoying my time here at Disneyland! I've seen nearly everything that can be seen now, but there is still one spot that eludes me. It's just never open when I try to visit. The closest I've gotten is the staircase. I snapped a photo of it as it may be the closest I ever get!"
Knock knock! Can I come in?
What and where is this spot at Disneyland?

Q and A: With Jennifer and Dave
modisney asks: "I would love to do one of the new itineraries Disney Cruise Line just announced for 2010. For those of you who have done the European cruises tell me about the prices of excursions on these cruises and other "extras". I'm trying to figure out the "over and aboves" the cruise price and airfare. How are the excursions prices, did you feel you saw enough of the destination and were they worth it or would you recommend doing your own research and seeing each destination on your own?"
Dave answers: "Unlike a Caribbean or Mexican Riviera cruise, where a lot of cruisers don't bother with excursions, for these itineraries shore excursions are going to be a major expenditure. According to a shorex supervisor I spoke to from another cruise line, on European itineraries, around 80% of the cruisers take shore excursions.
Budget around $170-$200/person/day to be on the safe side. That's the typical cost of an all-day excursion with food and museum/historic site admission included. We don't know where exchange rates are headed, though. Depending on which economy begins to recover first (assuming there is a recovery) excursion prices may come down or go up.
When you have just one day in each port (a day and-a-half in St. Petersburg), shore excursions tend to be one of the most efficient ways to see the sights. If you have enough folks to split the cost, another approach is a private tour guide/driver.
If you've already visited a city, you could consider doing it on your own, but when you have 7-8 hours maximum in a strange place, and considering how many tourist destinations are pedestrian-only (and next to no parking available), just the fact that you have a driver who can drop you off and pick you up and knows the traffic patterns, coupled with the tour guide's ability to get tickets/reservations to the many sights that require them (if you got them yourself, you might spend a half-hour or more for each sight in the ticket pickup line)... the time saved on those two factors alone can make the cost of the tour worthwhile.
Since the cruise lines use local tour operators, the chances of having a better (or worse) experience by booking through someone other than the cruise line may be a toss-up - the cruise line may be using the same tour company you end up booking. You may save some money, but you also may not get ship-side pick-up (or you may - it all depends).
With the cruise lines that have a regular presence in Europe, you can figure out which tour operators are working with which cruise lines. But in DCL's case, by the time we know who the operators are, it'll be time to board the bus.
No matter what, in most European destinations, there's no way you can scratch the surface in a single day's visit. All you can do is research the destination, and choose the tour that seems to hit a reasonable number of the sights you're interested in. Don't be afraid to split up as a couple/family and do different excursions. You'll have more experiences to talk about over dinner (and when you narrate your DVD), and there's no point paying big bucks for a tour half of you aren't interested in.
Often, you'll have a range of tours to choose from, from inexpensive, "we drive you to the center of town, then you're on your own" to small-group tours with gourmet dining. The chances of not finding an excursion that comes close to exactly what you're interested in is pretty slim - with so many cruisers taking excursions, there are a whole lot to choose from.
Good luck!"

An American Tourist in London
by Sue Kulick, PassPorter Featured Columnist
My husband and I recently traveled to England for a week long holiday. It was a fabulous trip! It was the first time we had traveled out of the country (except for ports of call on cruises), and we weren't sure what to expect. It was a learning experience, and I'd like to share some of my insights with you.
We are seasoned stateside travelers. I can find discount airfare at 30 paces with my eyes closed. I have no fear of the unknown when it comes to traveling. And we are somewhat laid back about plans. While I generally book my Disney resort at the 11- or 7-month window (we are Disney Vacation Club owners), everything else sort of comes along in good time. We quickly found out that this strategy doesn't really work when traveling overseas.
Our first lesson was in regards to airfare. We debated whether to fly British Airways out of Philadelphia, or Virgin Airways out of Newark. I bookmarked both sites and checked and rechecked flight times, prices, and availability. Meanwhile, our hosts in the UK began to wonder if we were seriously going to make this journey. Now, I had no doubt. After all, I farewatch Southwest until the planes come home, and then wait even longer for a good fare. We have been known to book our airfare with less than 60 days till travel date. Well, not so when you are traveling overseas. While you can get cheaper fares if you decide on a last minute getaway, overseas airfares tend to do only one thing ... GO UP! So lesson one was this: When you see the fare you want, grab it. It's not going to go on sale anytime soon.
After we booked our airfare, we booked our resort. This was relatively painless for us, as we did a DVC exchange, but then we needed to book our final night at the airport. And so began lesson 2. When I googled "Heathrow Airport Hotels," I got 289,000 hits! So I decided to try a different approach. I picked a resort chain that we have had good luck with (Marriott), went to their web site, and typed in Heathrow Airport. Ah, that was much better, and they gave a AAA discount! Lesson two is this: If you are staying in a different country, give yourself a level of comfort by going with a hotel chain that you trust.
Lesson three had to do with keeping in touch with the folks back home. I am the sole caregiver for my elderly father, and while I have an extensive support network, I still needed to be in touch. A call to my cell phone company confirmed that if I was traveling to the outer banks of Mongolia, I would have had coverage, but in the UK, I did not. I needed to rent a worldwide phone that would provide me with service while traveling. And, the fine print that I didn't read was that it needed to be activated with my cell number forwarded BEFORE WE LEFT THE STATES! That explained why I spent the entire trip from Heathrow to the hotel trying to contact our hosts without any success. Luckily, I was able to activate it at the hotel using the land line in the room. A rather frustrating (and expensive) lesson!
Lesson four has to do with finances. We had decided to do the bulk of our trip on one credit card, since they would give us the best exchange rate and we wouldn't have to carry too much cash. This is a two part lesson: First of all, call your credit card company before you go and tell them where you are traveling and for how long. They put a note on our account so that our cards would not be flagged.
Our trip would have been a mess if our credit cards had been frozen in a security measure while we were thousands of miles from home. And the second part of this lesson only applies if you live in a rural area like we do. It was almost impossible to exchange money. The post office didn't do it, none of the local banks did it, the one Wachovia that we have in town would have done it but I did not have an account there. Our local AAA didn't do it, and neither did our credit union. I finally decided to make a road trip to Lehigh Valley Airport (about an hour away) and on the way, remembered the AAA regional office. I stopped in, and YES! They did currency exchanges! If you are thinking about overseas travel, don't wait until the last minute to exchange your currency, as your options may be quite limited.
The last lesson had to do with the trip itself. I was a bit apprehensive about traveling in a foreign country, even one that shared the same language. But once the trip began, I began to relax and realize that this wasn't all that much different than stateside travel. There are lots of things to see and do, and you won't get to do them all in one trip. People in all countries react to you as you react to them. Be friendly, respectful and courteous, smile and say "Please" and "Thank you," and you will get it back in kind. So the lesson learned here is to treat the locals like you want to be treated in your hometown. Follow that advice, and you will have a great vacation!

Disney Dining Plans for 2009
by Cheryl Pendry, PassPorter Featured Columnist
To Dining Plan or not to Dining Plan? That is the question that a lot of people heading down to Walt Disney World are now asking themselves. The answer is really that it depends on you and your eating habits.
The Basic Dining Plan has been around for a couple of years now and for a price of $37.99 plus tax for adults and $9.99 plus tax for children aged 3-9, it entitles you to one snack credit, one counter-service credit, and one table-service credit for each person, for each day of your stay. It's important to know that you'll be able to order a main course and a dessert with your table service credit, but appetizer and gratuity are no longer included in the price.
There's the first issue. If, like my husband, desserts are not for you (he's lacto-intolerant), then you've got a problem straight away. Of course, you can ask if you can have an appetizer instead of a dessert, but that's very much at the discretion of each restaurant and there's no guarantee you'll be able to do that.
The second issue is whether this pattern of eating will suit your family. Some families like the idea of having a snack for one meal, a counter-service meal for another, and finally sitting down to a "proper" meal at a restaurant for their final meal of the day. But if you're not likely to regularly have three meals or perhaps want to eat at mainly table-service restaurants, then this particular Dining Plan may not be for you.
That's probably the inspiration behind the Deluxe Dining Plan, which offers three meal credits per day that can be used at either counter or table service places, along with two snack credits per day per person and one refillable mug per person. With this plan, you do get the appetizer (as well as dessert) at table-service restaurants, but the gratuity is still not included in the price. The cost of this plan is $69.99 plus tax for adults and $19.99 plus tax for children aged between 3-9 years old.
The Deluxe Dining Plan is an option that fits much more closely with our personal dining preferences, as we love to try out the various table service restaurants around the Disney parks and resorts. The Basic Dining Plan doesn't really allow that, but this plan gives you the flexibility to do that.
The problem is that the Deluxe Dining Plan can be a lot of food. It could be three meals at table-service restaurants and that's a lot of food for anyone, when you think about how big those portions can be! Also keep in mind that you're adding in appetizers to each of your meals, so you'll be presented with a three-course meal every time you sit down to dine. One way round this is to go for some signature dining options, which are two credits. These are Cinderella's Royal Table in the Magic Kingdom, the Hollywood Brown Derby at the Disney's Hollywood Studios, Jiko at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, the California Grill at the Contemporary, the Flying Fish Cafe at the BoardWalk, the Yachtsman Steakhouse at the Yacht Club, Artist Point at the Wilderness Lodge, and Narcoosee's and Citricos at the Grand Floridian. It's not the most economical use of your credits, but at least reduces the amount of food you need to consume each day!
As if those options weren't enough, there's also the Wine and Dine plan that you can add on to either of the Dining Plans we've just looked at. For $39.99 plus tax per room per night, you get one bottle of wine per night from a selected list. Be warned though, if your travels take you to any of those signature restaurants, you'll end up using two nights' worth of credits.
Now for those of you thinking that this amount of food -- and possibly wine -- is enough to scupper any plans you had to walk round the parks during your vacation, help may be at hand. Obviously realizing that this was a lot of food for many guests, Disney is introducing a new Dining Plan for 2009: the Quick Service Dining Plan. This new plan will offer two quick-service meals for each person per night, including non-alcoholic drink, along with two snacks for everyone for every night you're there, along with a refillable mug per person. The cost of this plan is $29.99 for adults per night and $8.99 for children aged 3-9. There's already a lot of debate about whether this latest addition will be value for money or not, but one thing's for sure -- if you're not interested in table-service restaurants, it could be a good choice for you.
There are some important considerations to keep in mind with the Disney Dining Plans in general. To make the best of them, you really need to be planning on spending the bulk of your time on Disney property, eating at their various establishments. If you plan on heading off to perhaps SeaWorld and Universal Orlando during your visit, you may not get the best value from the plan.
Everyone in your room must also be on the same package, so you can't have some members of your family on the Basic Dining Plan and others on the Deluxe Dining Plan, another thing to keep in mind, as you need to be sure that whatever you pick will suit everyone.
Don't forget that to make the best of the table service dining plans, you'll also need to program in some table service meals and that usually means making Advanced Dining Reservations (ADRs). These can be made up to six months in advance and, for some of the more popular restaurants on property, such as Le Cellier in Canada, Epcot, Boma in the Animal Kingdom Lodge, or any of the character meals, they may be full with bookings many months before you get to Disney. Therefore, if you decide at the last minute that you want to add one of the Dining Plans, you could immediately be at a disadvantage.
If that's the situation you find yourself in, don't lose heart. There are a number of possible ways round this. Firstly, try making bookings for less popular times of the day, either for early or late meals, as these times will be taken up last.
If your first dining choice isn't available, it's worth trying for another restaurant. In particular, some of the resort restaurants that are open at lunchtime, such as the Kona Cafe at the Polynesian, the Wave at the Contemporary, Captain's Grille at the Yacht Club, or the Whispering Canyon Cafe at the Wilderness Lodge, tend to be quieter for those meals and you may be able to snag something.
Finally, if all else fails, do keep calling back, as people do change their plans and cancel their ADRs all the time. You may just be lucky enough to snag a cancellation.
The Dining Plans are available to add on to any Magic Your Way package that includes at least one day of admission. Disney Vacation Club members can also buy the plan when they stay at Walt Disney World on points and Annual Passholders can get the Dining Plans by purchasing a package without park admission. All your various dining credits must be used by midnight on the day you check out, otherwise they'll expire.
About the Author: Cheryl and husband Mark live in England and love to travel, particularly to America. They are in the process of visiting every Disney theme park around the world, having already spent a day each in Disneyland Resort Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland so far this year. They are looking forward to returning to America this month to visit both Walt Disney World and Disneyland in California.
