Ann Arbor, MI (Sept. 6, 2007) -- How do you plan a magical Disney vacation when you have trouble walking around, food allergies, or
are traveling with an infant or a senior? Do you know the best hotel to accommodate your unique needs? How can you request special assistance
touring the parks or dining? The answers to all these questions -- and thousands more -- are detailed in the new PassPorter's Open Mouse for Walt
Disney World and the Disney Cruise Line guidebook (ISBN: 978-1-58771-048-3, 448 pages, trade paperback, $22.95) by AllEarsNet editors Deb Wills and Debra Martin Koma.
PassPorter's Open Mouse for Walt Disney World and the Disney Cruise Line opens the door to Disney World for everyone! With more than 440 pages
of in-depth information for vacationers of all abilities, this guidebook offers coverage of every ride, attraction and resort
on Walt Disney World property from a distinctive "extra challenges" perspective. Edited by bestselling PassPorter author Jennifer Marx and peer reviewed
by more than 30 vacationers with a variety of unique needs, this book is the second edition of the multiple award-winning
PassPorter's Walt Disney World For Your Special Needs guidebook. Authors Deb Wills and Debra Martin Koma received a Benjamin Franklin Award and
a ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year award for their work on the first edition.
Bob Sehlinger, author of the bestselling Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World, says PassPorter's Open Mouse is "the ultimate sourcebook for Disney World
visitors with unique problems and needs. Well organized and crisply written, the comprehensive volume covers everything from the needs of nursing mothers
to disabled access to autism. Almost anyone with a special need will find both understanding and excellent advice between the covers of this landmark work."
Consider the typical multi-generational family planning a vacation--pregnant and nursing moms, parents with infants, cousins "keeping Kosher" or Halal,
grandparents with declining mobility, a child with food allergies, an uncle struggling with obesity, a teenaged daughter
recently "converted" to vegetarianism... everyday people coping with everyday needs. Walt Disney World does more to accommodate their many needs
than nearly anyplace else, and PassPorter's Open Mouse tells you how.
This completely updated edition offers coverage of 24 special challenge categories, embracing dietary choices and hundreds of medical and mental health
issues. The authors provide comprehensive information on Disney resort hotels and thorough evaluations of every Disney ride and attraction with a focus on
special challenges. In addition, dozens of travelers with unique needs, including special diets, provide numerous tales, coping strategies, and insider tips.
Profiles of travelers with specific challenges give added insight to what makes Walt Disney World such an "open" vacation spot.
PassPorter's Open Mouse offers everything you need to enjoy
Disney to the fullest, from some of the most trusted names in Disney travel.
