You shared your wish list for this new edition... and we listened carefully! PassPorter 2003 is as good as it is because of you!
Below is a partial list of each reader wish we were able to make come true with PassPorter 2003. Thank you to each and every one of you who sent in feedback and suggestions!
| Your Wish | Our Change |
| Add actual room rates | Now every Disney resort hotel has its room rates for various rooms (some have all, others have most). The different rates for the different seasons are also included! |
| Add more information about Hotel Plaza | We've doubled the amount of information, and added a sidebar on transportation! |
| "More hints from seasoned travelers" (contributed by Kathleen Bousquet) | We have brand new tips and stories from our readers! |
| More "updates of the new hotels and restaurants" (contributed by Jennifer) | We have detailed information on Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, plus peeks at Pop Century Resort and the Beach Club Villas. We've also completely updated our restaurant descriptions! |
| Include a "box for us to check indicating our selection for inclusion into our plan" (contributed by Dave Legg and Terry) | We added a box to all our charts (attractions and eateries) which you can use to indicate interest, note your own rating, or record a visit. |
| Add a "small section on off-site hotels" (contributed by Phyllis Brittenham, Rebecca, Georgia, Jennifer Beeken, and Laurie) | We've added a brand new, two-page section on over 30 off-site hotels and motels. The chart includes descriptions, Web sites, phone numbers, distance from Disney, shuttle buses, year built/renovated, prices, and so on. |
| Improve the packing list (contributed by Cheryl, Kemchen, and Clara) | The packing list is now two pages and includes very specific information on what to bring for a Walt Disney World vacation. |
| Add more transportation information (contributed by Rosemary, Cathy, Norman, and Wendy) | We added an innovative Transportation Transit Time Chart to every resort description. The chart gives average transit times from the resort to each of the parks, as well as lists the types of transportation available (bus, boat, and/or walk). |
| Add information on Disney Vacation Club (contributed by Allison, Jennifer Beeken, and Beth) | We added two brand new pages on Disney Vacation Club, including information on joining the program and tips for those already in it. |
| Include maps of the water parks (contributed by Rene, Tod, Lesley, Priscilla Penkert, Jim Wilson, and Marjorie) | PassPorter 2001 has new detailed maps of Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach, as well as expanded information! |
| Increase your cover of DisneyQuest (contributed by Marjorie) | Three more pages on DisneyQuest (for a total of four), plus a easy-to-use map of the floors! |
| Add more information on Downtown Disney (contributed by Rene and Aprille Magill) | More pages, details, tips, and best of all, a detailed page of the entire Downtown Disney area. |
| Expand your cover of the character meals (contributed by Alicia, Sandra, and Kristine) | We now dedicate two entire pages to character meals, and we've expanded our character meal chart. |
| Make the Autographs Anonymous page a little more friendlier (contributed by Tammy Werkheiser) | The Autograph Anonymous page now has the proper amount of respect for our furry friends and heroic figures. |
You may notice fewer reader requests for PassPorter 2002 than for PassPorter 2001. The reason? Most of our registrations and surveys were overwhelmingly positive, with little or no requests for improvements.
What weren't we able to accommodate in PassPorter 2002? Thankfully, the list is small:
