FROM THE DYNAMIC
DUO: Behind the Scenes at PassPorter
====================================================
Hello from
Nikki and Chad, the brother-and-sister, behind-the-scenes team at the
PassPorter studio. We're writing this week's newsletter while Jennifer and Dave
bask in the bright sunshine (okay, well, technically theyre refinishing their
deck).
Nikki:
Although it is sunny with no clouds here in Ann Arbor, Michigan, it is a far
cry from the beautiful Orlando sunshine. Currently the weather icon on my
desktop is showing a temperature of 65 degrees. Ok, but not warm enough to suit
me. Speaking of "me," I have not introduced myself. I'm Nikki, also
known as Poor_Eeyore on the PassPorter message boards. Disney is my passion, so
what better place to work than here at PassPorter? Chances are if you've called
PassPorter, you've spoken to me. Remember me now? I was the sweet one that took
care of all of your needs! Ha ha! We like to keep it fun here in the
office--after all, we do deal with Disney everyday. Besides, it's family here,
and family and Disney go together like Pooh and Eeyore. Oh yeah, for the
record, Eeyore is my favorite Disney character. I'm going to pass you over to
my dear brother who will formally introduce himself and give you a little taste
of what I work with on a daily basis.
Chad: As I am
usually behind-the-scenes, this is a new experience for me. For those of you
that do not know me, my name is Chad (GrumpysStepkid on the message boards) and
I work here at the PassPorter Northern Command Center. Kind of like the
"hatch" on ABC's "Lost," except I don't have to type 4 8 15
16 23 42 every 108 minutes. The major drawback of working for PassPorter is the
constant reminder of Walt Disney World. It makes me want to go every single
day. When not working, I like to spend time with my wife Kim, our two beautiful
girls Megan and Natalie, and a furry ball of cocker spaniel named SammieJo. I
am so glad that spring has sprung here. I can get outside, putter around the
house, and drive with the windows down.
Note: If you
tried to place an order or browse or store Thursday between 2:30 and 9:30 pm,
we were having technical difficulties -- but all is fine now! We apologize for
the inconvenience. If you tried to order the special AllEarsNet's Ears the Deal 2-For-1 special (free copy of "PassPorter's
Disney 500" tips e-book with any purchase of "PassPorter's Walt

TRAVEL
FEATURE: Harvard University:
Bringing
Cambridge to America (Part Three of the University Cities Series)
========================================================
by Cheryl
Pendry, PassPorter Message Board Guide and Guest Contributor
In this third
and final part of articles looking at some of the most famous universities
amongst visitors, as well as students, we move away from Britain and the
dreaming spires of Oxford and Cambridge and follow much the same journey as the
first settlers did, by heading for Boston.
In the same
way that Cambridge University was started by scholars who left Oxford after a
fight with local townsman, Harvard University owes its roots to a similar
situation. The first English immigrants to settle in Boston arrived in 1629 and
just seven years later, a college was founded in the city. But it was thanks to
a Cambridge graduate that the place grew to become one of the most prestigious
universities in the world.
John Harvard
was born and raised in south London and studied at Emmanuel College, gaining
his degree when he was just 20. Ten years later, he emigrated to Charlestown in
Boston, following in the footsteps of many of his classmates, but after just 16
months working as a clergyman he contracted tuberculosis and died. His name
lives on to this day, thanks to his donation of 400 books and around 800. In
todays money, that would be about 75,000 or $140,000. And that was enough to
set Harvard on its way.
But there were
to be none of the dreaming spires of Cambridge and Oxford for this new
university. Instead, more functional, red brick buildings, still with a beauty
of their own, emerged over time around Harvard Yard, which today, is home to 13
of the 17 freshman colleges at the University. As you walk 'round the yard, you
cant help but think what a great place this must be to spend your first year
at college. I was fortunate to live on a campus university in my first year
away from home, but nothing as beautiful and historic as this.
Today, the
oldest of those buildings is Massachusetts Hall, dating from 1720, which was
designed as a residence for students. Although some lucky freshmen are still
housed on the upper floors, the first three floors now house offices of the
President of the University, its Provost, Treasurer and Vice Presidents.
The Halls
colorful history also saw it housing 640 American soldiers during the siege of
Boston, and it isnt the only hall at Harvard Yard to have military
connections. Just a few steps away, Hollis Hall was used as a barracks by
George Washingtons troops during the American Revolution.
Of course, the
colorful history of Harvard continues to this day. We were fortunate enough to
be shown around by a friend of mine, whos a professor there, and he shared one
or two tales about what the students get up to. Perhaps the most common pranks
involve the John Harvard statue. Commemorating the man who started the
university, he sits overlooking Harvard Yard, but often finds himself with some
additional decorations, such as leis. Tradition suggests that if visitors to
Harvard rub one of the feet of the statue it will bring them good luck, and
thats exactly what many do. Lets just say, from what I heard from my
professor friend, it may not be a good idea.
Other superb
buildings worth a visit in Harvard Yard include the Memorial Church. If you
think it looks familiar at first glance, theres a good reason for that - it
copies earlier styles, and its steeple is based on the Old North Church in
Bostons North End.
Directly
opposite the Memorial Church is Widener Library, Harvards main library. With
more than three million books and 65 miles of book shelves, its one of
Americas biggest libraries and its also one of the countrys most secure.
Unless youre a Harvard student or member of staff or perhaps a visiting
scholar, you wont get in and even if you can get inside, youll be subject to
bag checks on the way out just to ensure that you havent taken anything out
that youre not entitled to. From outside, its certainly a dominating
building.
Although
Harvard Yard is at the heart of the University, just like Oxford and Cambridge,
Harvard sprawls over a far wider area. Head north and youll find a number of
faculty buildings some of which are exceptionally traditional and obviously
date back many years, such as the Law Library and the Memorial Hall complex.
Housing the Sanders Theater, which hosts a calendar of performances throughout
the year, the real jewel here is Annenberg Hall. Unfortunately, its opening
hours for visitors are exceptionally limited, but first year students dine here
and enjoy what is probably Harvards greatest hall, inspired by the great halls
of Oxford and Cambridge. Again, what a great way to enjoy your first year at
college!
New buildings
are being added to Harvard all the time, and some of the newest additions are
also pretty impressive. For example, the entrance of the Maxwell Dworkin
computer science building, opened in 1999, has some very unusual angles to
it.
Other places
worth visiting are the various museums at Harvard. Our tour took us to the
Harvard Museum of Natural History, home to hundreds of examples of animals, all
of them stuffed many still with us today, but some now long extinct. Although
some look decidedly odd and others are just downright eerie, its still a
fascinating collection and gives you a good idea of the size of many beasts
that you normally cant get close to.
The highlight
here is the collection of glass flowers with 3,000 models representing 850
species. When you see them, youll immediately understand why its no surprise
that the most commonly asked question is are they real? That was certainly
the question that first popped into my head when I saw them.
If youre in
Boston over a weekend, visit the Natural History Museum on a Sunday morning, as
entry is free until midday. The same applies to the neighboring Peabody Museum
of Archaeology and Ethnology. The name of this museum may sound dull, but its
got some fascinating exhibitions about American Indians and excavations in
Peru.
If art appeals
to you, then another museum you shouldnt miss is the Fogg Art and
Busch-Reisinger Museums, based around an Italian Renaissance courtyard. Its
galleries trace the history of art from the Middle Ages to the present
day.
If all of this
sounds a bit too academic for you, then rest assured, Cambridge is also a
thriving town, with Harvard Square at its center. Its a fascinating place to
watch students going around their business. If books are your thing, then
unsurprisingly, youll find bookstores with an amazing collection of titles,
covering just about every subject you can think of.
Restaurants
here are cheap and good perhaps because theyre trying to attract the
students. We found a particularly good Indian restaurant here and enjoyed a
superb buffet for only $10 per person.
While Harvard
may differ considerably in looks from both Oxford and Cambridge, all three
university cities share a lot in common. They all have a range of buildings and
museums to explore and theres history awaiting you around every corner, but
theres more to them than that. With thousands of students in each university,
you get the sense of walking into a large community and if you can, its always
best to visit during term time, as it gives you a real idea of what it might be
like to study at one of these prestigious institutions.
Having been to
each of these cities out of season, dont discount the idea of a visit in the
winter. The weather may be cold, but if youre lucky enough to have a dry day
with clear skies, then that can make for some superb photos and you wont find
yourself amongst thousands of other visitors.
Oxford,
Cambridge and Harvard, without exception, have become much more than just
places to learn over the last few hundred years. Theyre also all superb places
to visit which you can learn about all sorts of subjects or just soak up the
unique atmosphere that each one has to offer.
Cheryl is a
PassPorter message board guide and lives in England. She loves to travel and
enjoys exploring her own country, the rest of Europe and America. A frequent
visitor to both Oxford and Cambridge, she also took a trip to Boston in 2005,
where she was able to explore Harvard.

DISNEY
FEATURE: Making The Most of the Disney Dining Plan
========================================================
by Joan
Finder, Guest Contributor
Ah, those
three magic words. Ill always remember the Valentines Day when those three
delightful words first made my cheeks blush and my heart flutter or more
accurately, made my tummy growl and my mouth water: Disney Dining
Plan. These three little words sum up one of Disneys newest and most
innovative offerings, one proving almost as popular as Expedition: Everest. But
just as those-in-the-know quickly discover that a little homework can make the
Disney park experience even more enchanting, a little bit of knowledge can make
the Disney Dining Plan (DDP) an even better value. The key to making the most
of the Disney Dining Plan can be found by considering each of those three
scrumptious words.
Disney: The
Disney Dining Plan was introduced last year as an add-on option to Walt Disney
World resort guests booking the Magic Your Way vacation package. For each
night of your package stay, for each guest on the package, the plan
includes one table service meal, one counter service meal and one snack.
Unlike most vacation meal plans, the meals dont have to be used one per day
but may be used in any combination over the course of your stay. You might use
2 or 3 table service credits on the same day, or save your snack credits to use
four at a time. The credits are coded into your room key/park pass. After each
meal, you will be given a receipt showing you exactly how many credits you have
remaining in each category. Simple as well pie!
Dining:
Currently priced at approximately $38 per adult (ages 10 and up) and $11 per
child (3-9), the plan can be a great savings. Its certainly possible to eat at
Disney and spend less, but this plan allows you to truly dine and experience
some of Disneys better establishments for just a bit more than you would pay
subsisting on hot dogs and French fries.
A table
service meal allows each diner a choice of appetizer, entre, dessert, and
non-alcoholic beverage, and covers tax and gratuity. While table service
credits can be used for breakfast, lunch or dinner, using the credit for
dinners will maximize your dollar value. A typical dinner in most Disney table
service restaurants will average about $35 and, with tip and tax, can easily
cost $50 or more. One table service credit is just that - one meal - whether it
is a $15 breakfast or $50 dinner.
Disney offers
a wide array of beautifully themed restaurants with surprisingly gourmet food.
The restaurants are often an attraction in and of themselves, not to mention a
relaxing respite from the crowds, noise and heat. The DDP provides an incentive
to try new places and new food choices, such as seaweed in Teppanyaki or Maple
Crme Brulee in Le Cellier. Savor those expensive entrees, enticing appetizers
and rich desserts without feeling guilty about the cost per item. For those of
us who typically order from the right hand side of the menu to save money, it
is a rare pleasure to order whatever tickles our tummy. Generally, anything
on the menu is usually included in the plan, although some specialty items may
be restricted. Just ask before you order. The servers at Disney are very
familiar with the plan, and will gladly explain the choices to you. This is
especially true for counter service meals, where there seems to be more
inconsistency. For example, at Cosmic Rays literally anything on the menu,
including the ribs/chicken combo platter, is an option, but for some reason at
Kringla Bakeri og Cafe the lunch platter is not available on the DDP.
Of course,
value, like beauty, is in the eyes - or in this case - the taste buds of the
beholder. In some cases, you may choose to sacrifice a bit of monetary value
for a memorable experience. Disney has designated certain establishments as signature
dining experiences. These locations, such as Cinderella's Royal Table and
California Grill, will use two table service credits for one meal. If
atmosphere and magical memories are of utmost importance to you, then the
credits are certainly well used. Likewise, most character meals are included in
the plan. While a character buffet may not equal the dollar amount spent on a
la carte dinners elsewhere, the chance to spend quality time with Mickey,
Minnie and the gang may be better than a lottery win. Even for those of us who
have left the autograph books behind, a breakfast at Crystal Palace before park
opening, with photos of us in front of the castle with no one else in sight,
may be priceless. The key is to determine what will make you the happiest guest
in the world!
One word of
caution: some counter service establishments may offer both snacks and meals.
Snacks are limited to soda, water bottle, coffee, single-serving chips, ice
cream, popcorn or fruit only. Anything more may cost you a counter service
credit. Be sure to clarify your options, or you may find your morning muffin
and coffee gobbling up the credit you had planned to use for lunch. Sometimes
it may still be worthwhile to pay out-of-pocket for that special must-have item,
the Main Street Bakery cookie or Dole Whip, rather than using a counter service
meal credit. Generally, your best monetary value is to eat a very light
breakfast - bringing cereal bars or bagels from home to eat in your room or
grabbing a danish in the food court - and save the counter service credit for
an early lunch. Consider sharing one counter service breakfast and then
splitting a lunch. Or get a counter service breakfast, skip lunch and have an
early dinner. The portions at Disney eateries are ample, to say the least.
Within a few days, most guests on this plan are gaining a pound or two. You
definitely wont starve!
Plan: It is no
accident that Disney terms this the Dining PLAN, as opposed to the Dining
Feature or the Dining Experience. The immense popularity of this plan has
filled restaurants that would previously accommodate walk-ins even on the
busiest of days. You must book your advanced dining reservations as early as
possible, especially for dinners. You can always try to make last minute changes
if necessary, but if you want table service dinners or character meals,
reservations are now essential. Magic Kingdom actually puts a sign near City
Hall advising guests if dinner seatings are no longer available and often lists
limited openings for lunch at the table service restaurants. Many a family may
find themselves disappointed without those valuable reservation numbers in
hand.
Of course, the
ultimate method of making the most of the DDP is to take advantage of the
occasional promotions in which Disney includes the DDP at no charge as an
incentive, usually for late summer/early fall off-season travel periods. This
is planning at its best! But whatever the season, with careful planning, youll
find the DDP is a culinary treat and affordable luxury. Bon appetit!
Joan Finder is
hungrily anticipating her lucky 13th visit to Disney World this December for
MouseFest 2006, where she plans to taste her way around the World Showcase and
savor the delicacies of the Bahamas.

DISNEY TIPS
FROM FELLOW READERS
==========================================
Our readers
are a wealth of information! Here are the winners in this month's tip contest:
"MINNIE"-MIZE
KIDS MEALS
"Eating
at the restaurants can get expensive if your children don't eat all of their
food. My kids are too excited about returning to the rides to really eat their
whole meal, so we've started buying one meal which they split. The meals are
large enough for two and nothing gets wasted. They also both get enough to eat
and are ready to head off to more fun in the park."
-- contributed
by Michelle Piner (pjames624@...)
WALK A MILE IN
YOUR OWN SHOES
"Beginning
a walking program before you go to Walt Disney World will help your legs
get in shape before you walk those many miles in the parks. Wear the shoes that
you will be wearing in the parks so you can break them in and prevent
blisters."
-- contributed
by Rita D. (hottwirlerchica@...)
CREATE A
CRUISE BOX
"Prior to
cruising I made a "cruise box" and put things in that I thought I
would use (travel-size lotions, extra sunglasses, special earrings for dinner,
etc.). Then when I get ready to pack, I weed out the things that are not really
necessary and use them for other trips."

CAPTAIN'S
CORNER: Treasure Hunting Game
==========================================
Play our fun
and quirky treasure hunting game, hosted by Captain Jack Skatt from our
upcoming book, "PassPorter's Treasure Hunts at Walt Disney
World."
The Captain makes
a study of the delightful details -- sometimes hidden, sometimes in plain sight
but often overlooked -- at Walt Disney World and aboard the Disney Cruise Line.
Using notes from his journals, he will lead you to this "treasure" at
Disney with clues, questions, photos, or riddles. Your challenge is to discover
the answer by searching your memory, visiting Disney, or even just looking
really hard on the Internet. If you think you've found the answer, e-mail it to
jackskatt@passporter.com -- the first person to correctly submit the FULL
answer will receive a free PassPorter enamel pin or PassPorter name badge pin.
Here is this
week's treasure from Captain Skatt's Journal:
"In my
continuing exploration of Disney statuary, I ventured over to Mickey's Toontown
Fair in search of it. Red Barns had mentioned that a statue of the founder and
mayor of Toontown Fair was in the town square and I had to see this for myself.
Interestingly, the founder and mayor of Mickey's Toontown Fair is not Mickey
Mouse himself. The statue itself was easy to locate and Toontown's residents
seem to take pride in it. Did you know the founder of Toontown is also the
great-great-great-grandfather of Huey, Dewey, and Louie?"
Who is
depicted in the Toontown Fair statue?
Send your full
answer to jackskatt@passporter.com -- the winner will be notified by e-mail and
announced in the next newsletter, along with the correct answer!
Congratulations
to Denise Thompson who was the winner of last week's treasure hunt game! Denise

America section of the Disney-MGM Studios. (Extra credit for sending a photo of
the statue!) To view the original clues, see the last newsletter at

====================================
Q & A WITH
JENNIFER & DAVE
====================================
hygienist
asks: "I am trying to get organized for our upcoming trip, and was considering
getting travelers checks, but would like to buy them using our Disney
Visa to get the reward points. I know that you can't pay for a money order with
a credit card, but was not sure about travelers checks."
Jennifer and
Dave answer: "Generally, no. You usually can't "buy" cash of any
sort with credit cards for several reasons. Credit card companies make a lot of
their money by charging the merchant (typically) 2-3% of the value of each
purchase. So, if you bought travelers checks, you'd have to pay about $103 for
every $100 dollars in travelers checks (plus the customary traveler's check
fee) to compensate. However, credit card company rules and some state laws
state that merchants cannot charge extra for credit card purchases, so the
traveler's check issuer loses money by exchanging credit for cash. When you are
allowed to get travelers checks, the credit card company considers it a cash
advance, not a credit purchase. If you read the fine print, you'll find that
you generally don't get reward points on cash advances (and you pay through the
nose in other ways).
Why go through
the trouble of purchasing travelers checks when you've already got the credit
card? Are you trying to rack-up the rewards points before you travel? For
domestic travel, I've seen no benefit to carrying travelers checks over credit
cards. Both are comparably safe, both are relatively simple to replace if lost
or stolen. I'll take travelers checks on trips out of the country since I need
cash to exchange for various foreign currencies."
