“Update your PassPorter! I came on the site and I noticed that there was a link to update my PassPorter that was so very important in my planning of my perfect trip. Now I have it written down in my calendar to check again about a week before I leave in order to make sure that I don’t have any unpleasant surprises or that I don’t miss out on something wonderful! Updates are at http://www.passporter.com/customs/bookupdates.htm.”

Magical Memories
“For many years, my husband and two sons would take wonderful trips to Disneyland with the Boy Scouts in our area. After all these years of 'holding down the fort,' my daughter Cara and I decided that maybe it was time the two of us took a trip together. After the fun of planning for a year, it turned out to be the trip of a lifetime! The nostalgia at Disneyland is overwhelming. I would suggest to anyone looking for a very special one-on-one trip with a son or daughter to definitely consider Disneyland. It’s a great time to reconnect without the interruption of phones, TV, or friends. Cara is now 21 years old and we are planning and very excited about our fifth Disney trip with just the two of us.”

“My 65th birthday just happened to fall during our scheduled Disneyland vacation. A few months before the trip, we celebrated my husband’s 65th birthday with a large party. Since we were not going to be home for my special day, my daughter planned a ‘card shower’ for me. About a month prior to our trip she mailed out notices to family and friends instructing them to forward my cards to her, early enough to arrive before our departure date. The morning of my birthday she hid the cards in her purse. During lunch, as we sat at Carnation Cafe, she proceeded to hand the cards to me, one by one. What a great way for my family and friends to be part of my special day.”
