Pages from a Disney Book

Updates, articles, news, and pages from Disney guidebook author Jennifer Marx

The last couple of years I’ve been hearing about this magic “elf on the shelf” that’s been popping up in people’s houses around the holidays. Supposedly you’ll spot the elf in different spots in your house each day, because it’s been somewhere else at night. Where does he go? They […]

Fifteen years ago when the first PassPorter was written, I mistakenly thought that people would only want really basic information on the attractions and we included only lists (yes, just lists!). But our readers told us they wanted more information on the rides, and our next edition had it. This […]

I received this question from reader Connie at support@passporter.com: I know the name of the long houses but when you talk to Disney staff they refer to building 1, 2, etc. Do you know what number is assigned to each longhouse? Just curious as this came up during a phone […]

I love Pinterest, don’t you? Pinterest is my virtual bulletin board, organizing my ideas and inspirations so I can find them later. I also use it for PassPorter, as a way to share our photos and articles, or save “sightings” of PassPorter photos and reviews I find online. Pinterest has […]

I love to travel. I’ve been to nearly every state in the U.S., visited over a dozen countries, and even lived overseas for two years. I consider myself well travelled. Yet I keep coming back to Disney destinations. Many people wonder why, or are confused by my interest. Isn’t Disney […]

I have a lot of photos. Well, that might be a huge understatement. Let’s just say I’ve been taking thousands of digital photos on every Disney trip dating back to the mid-’90s and my collection is both impressive and overwhelming. As I often do, I look back through my old […]

My Walt Disney World trip was nearly a month ago now. I remember the sunshine and warmth of Florida and long for another visit. How soon until my next trip to see Mickey Mouse? I’d like to go in the spring, but that’s an entire winter to get through. What […]

Like many others, I adore coffee. It gets me going in the morning and fuels me through many long work and writing sessions. I like my coffee sweet and strong! But coffee at Walt Disney World? Ugh. Boring, wimpy, and bland was the Nescafe coffee from the resort food courts, […]

I was very excited the day the iPad came out. I resolved that day that I would get PassPorter on the iPad. And I did begin offering all our books as Online Editions in PDF form, but it’s not good enough for me. I actually want PassPorter’s Walt Disney World […]
