"We loved, loved, loved our PassPorter's (the 2006 spiral PassPorter and the 2005 PassPorter for Special Needs) for Walt Disney World. We traveled with our son with autism in 2006 and hopefully will travel with him and his brother with multiple needs (especially mobility and health issues) in 2009. We stayed at the Fort Wilderness Cabins in 2006 and were very pleased with our cabin. It really offered us a chance to regroup after being in the parks. The books were very well written with information as to the best times of day for certain adventures and precautions for possible obstacles at WDW, and many other things too numerous to mention. I do hope that an updated PassPorter for Special Needs comes out soon with updated information. We can't wait to go to WDW and use them again. " -- Kathy Wakeman (2008-12-08 20:45:01)
