Hi,
{{user("firstname")}}!
After 20 candidates and
nearly three months, we've finally chosen the new PassPorter Lead E-Book
Editor: Carrie Hayward! Carrie has ten years of editorial experience and loves
Disney and PassPorter. In addition, Thomas Cackler will be our
"on-call" editor and consultant. You may know Thomas from his
PassPorter newsletter articles -- he's very experienced in web writing,
editing, and coordination. Both are excellent editors and great people and we
are proud to have them on the PassPorter team! A big thank you to all our
candidates, whom we hope to introduce as e-book authors in the future.
Speaking of e-books, in
our last newsletter we announced our next e-book would be a Disney Character
Yearbook with tips on finding, meeting, photographing, and autographing; a full
page on each character found at Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and Disney Cruise
Line; and customizable autograph book pages to print. We hope to release it the
week of June 25-30. We have plenty of other ideas for new e-books, but we want
more ... and we want e-book authors! We've just opened our
"Greenhouse" for folks to post their ideas for future e-books and
even learn how to become an e-book author. To learn more, visit http://www.passporterboards.com/forums/greenhouse

TRAVEL FEATURE: The
World's Loveliest Castle: Leeds Castle
========================================================
by Cheryl Pendry,
PassPorter Feature Columnist
The world's loveliest
castle. It's a bold claim to make, but that's how Leeds Castle in the southeast
of England has been known for many years and with good reason.
Built nearly 1,000 years
ago in the heart of Kent, about 40 miles away from London, the Castle sits on
an island in the River Len and it really is everything you ever imagined a
castle to be. As you drive up to the car park, you wonder when you'll catch a
glimpse of the castle. The answer is not until you're well inside the grounds,
which just adds to the sense of anticipation.
The first area you come to
along the visitor route through the grounds is the Duckery. If you're lucky,
you might spot some of the black swans that make their home here. They're not
the only wildlife that makes for some beautiful photos, with peacocks also
strutting around the castle grounds. As you continue to wander down towards the
castle, you'll pass the Cedar Lawn and Pavilion Lawn and it is here that you
get your first view of the castle itself. Even now, after many visits, the
sight of Leeds Castle still stops me in my tracks. It's been said that
"breathtaking" is a word that's used too often nowadays, but it
certainly applies in this case.
So what's the history of
this magnificent building? The castle was built in 1119 and then moved into
royal hands just over a hundred years later. Perhaps the most famous visitor
was King Henry VIII, famed for his six wives. He was a regular visitor, once
arriving with his then Queen, Catherine of Aragon, and their entire court on
the way to a tournament in France. Now, that must have been a sight! When he
died, his son, King Edward VI, granted the castle to one of Henry's courtiers
in return for his service. Since being in private ownership, Leeds Castle has
had something of a checkered past, having been used as a garrison, prison and
even a convalescent home.
A lot of what you see when
you visit today is due to the work of one woman, Olive Wilson Filmer, who later
became Lady Baillie. She took ownership of the castle in 1926 and had big
ambitions for it, wanting to see it restored to its former glory. As you wander
through the castle, many of the furnishings you see are due to Lady Baillie.
Unfortunately, no photography is allowed inside the castle, but take a
leisurely pace on your walk through the castle and the memories of the
beautiful rooms will stay with you for a long time.
As you come out of the
castle itself and pass back through the Gate, don't miss what must be one of
the most unusual museums in the world, dedicated to dog collars. Yes, you did
read that right! Although it doesn't sound that interesting, it's a fascinating
collection, spanning more than five centuries, and is well worth a look.
Once work inside the
castle was completed, Lady Baillie turned her attention to the grounds. Under
her direction a golf course, tennis courts, and a swimming pool were added. It
must have been quite some family home!
Today the golf course
remains, as does the aviary she founded in the 1950s. Originally home to a few
Australian finches, today you'll see toucans, parrots and even kookaburras.
It's quite a collection and one that certainly keeps children's interest, but
there's nothing more appealing at Leeds Castle than one of the final areas you
come to.
The maze is about as far
away from the entrance to the castle grounds as possible. No doubt that's been
done on purpose to make sure that it's the final thing visitors come across.
Made from more than 2,000 yew trees, it looks deceptively simple from the outside,
but once inside, it's only minutes before you're lost and desperately
struggling to find your way to the center of the maze. Once you do -- and it
can take some time -- it's worth it, as you descend into a shell grotto, a
suitable reward for all the running around you have to do to get here.
These days, a visit to
Leeds Castle is about much more than just the castle, but there's no denying
it's still the main draw and rightly so. It's certainly one of the finest
examples you'll find of a medieval castle. To see it sitting on its own island,
surrounded by water, perhaps even with a black swan floating past - you really
can imagine King Henry VIII setting up court here all those centuries ago.
After nearly 1,000 years of history, the castle still looks to be in perfect
condition and resembles a picture postcard. I challenge you not to come here
and take a lot of photos! Yes, it's a bold claim to say it's the world's
loveliest castle, but you know, I don't think they're that far off the mark.
Leeds Castle is open
throughout the year, except on Christmas Day and is closed to day visitors
during the major classical concert in early July and the fireworks displays
during the first weekend in November. Entry to Leeds Castle and its grounds
costs £14 for adults and £11 for senior citizens, students, visitors with
disabilities, and children between the ages of four and fifteen. Children under
four get in for free. All entry tickets are valid for a year. For more
information, visit http://www.leeds-castle.com
About the Authors: Cheryl
and husband Mark live in England and love to travel, particularly to America.
They're regular visitors to London and are now looking forward to setting sail
on Disney's first cruise around the Mediterranean in May.

DISNEY FEATURE: My Three
Sons: Walt Disney World with Pre-teen Boys
========================================================
by Rose Colson, PassPorter
Guest Contributor
Visiting Walt Disney World
is such a treat, isn't it? Visiting Disney with my three boys makes it even
more special. We've been vacationing in "the World" since summer
2000; through the years, as the boys have gotten older, we've learned some
tricks that may help other families with pre-teen boys. Think Walt Disney World
is all Princesses and Fairy Tales? Think again!
Before we get started, let
me make some introductions. We are: Mom (that's me, obviously), Avery (13 and
quiet), Bailey (11 and thrill-seeking), and Clayton (10 and mischief-making).
You'll see occasional interjections from them during the course of this
article. We hail from rural northwest Pennsylvania, and I'm a teacher, hence
the summer trips.
The first thing we consider,
of course, is where to stay. We've stayed off-property, on-property, in a
house, cabin, cottage, hotel room, and a tent. Our favorite resort by far,
which we've stayed at four out of the eight years we've been going to Walt
Disney World, is Fort Wilderness. Three out of those four stays have been in a
tent. Tenting at Fort Wildernessin the summer isn't as bad as some might think,
but that's another article.
There are so many things
for the boys to do at the Fort. Of course, there's swimming and games at the
pool; there's the campfire, complete with s'mores, and the movie every night.
There are the playgrounds and wide open fields for running around; but the
hands-down favorite, and what puts Fort Wilderness ahead of the other resorts
we've stayed at, is catching (and releasing, thanks!) the little lizards that
seem to be everywhere. ("Salamanders, Mom!") For all of these reasons
and more, we love Fort Wilderness and are looking forward to returning this
August.
The next thing we discuss
is which park to visit first. Epcot usually gets the vote due to Test Track
being our unanimous favorite Walt Disney World attraction. Even the quiet guy
loves this ride! No trip to Disney is complete without at least four or five
rides on Test Track. There's just something about that last few minutes...
Rounding out Epcot's
"Big Three" are Mission: Space and Soarin'. They both run a close
second behind Test Track. The other "must-dos" include Ellen's Energy
Adventure (my favorite because it's dark and cool inside), Spaceship Earth,
Living with the Land, and The Seas with Nemo & Friends. This year we're
also excited about riding the new "Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three
Caballeros!" in Mexico.
The next park is usually
the Magic Kingdom and its "Big Three" are Space, Splash, and Big
Thunder Mountains. The darkness of Space Mountain, the last drop of Splash
Mountain, and the craziness of Big Thunder Mountain make all three of these the
highest priority for us. Pirates of the Caribbean is right up there (I can't
tell you how many times they've seen the movies), as is The Jungle Cruise. In
Fantasyland there isn't much to hold the boys' attention except Mickey's
PhilharMagic. That has become our favorite 3-D movie in "the World."
After Epcot and Magic
Kingdom, it's the Disney-MGM Studios. There, the "Big Three" for us
are Tower of Terror, Rock 'N' Roller Coaster, and Star Tours -- always in the
last row for an extra-wild ride. The boys are divided over their favorite shows
at Disney-MGM. It's Indiana Jones for one of them and Lights, Motors, Action!
for the other two (although we all HATED waiting in the blazing hot sun to get
into the stadium). Finally, we take the Backlot Tour for Catastrophe Canyon,
and the Great Movie Ride for all of the awesome movie scenes. ("And the gangster,
Mom!")
The last major park is
Animal Kingdom. It's "Big Three" are Expedition Everest, Kali River
Rapids, and Kilimanjaro Safaris. We rode Everest for the first time last summer
and loved it. Be warned, though, that riding it more than two or three times in
a row is not advised! The thrill of getting a good soaking on Kali keeps the
boys wanting more, and the excitement of seeing so many different animals on
Safari makes us want to ride again and again.
The favorite show at
Animal Kingdom is Festival of the Lion King, followed by It's Tough to be a
Bug. And we always take the short train ride and hike to Rafiki's Planet Watch
because the boys enjoy seeing some behind-the-scenes magic. ("And don't forget
the sound booth, Mom!") At Rafiki's we never fail to pop into one of the
Song of the Rainforest booths for a little sound thrill in the dark.
Okay, so that takes care
of the four major parks. Their most important advice to other guys - always do
the Big Three at each park!
Which leads us to the
water parks. This is a bit more difficult for the boys to agree on because
their tastes are so different. They like Typhoon Lagoon for this and Blizzard
Beach for that, but we narrowed it down to just a couple of favorites for each
park for the sake of my sanity and the length of the article.
At Typhoon Lagoon, the
boys are all agreed on the wave pool being the best part, but Crush-n-Gusher
was awesome, too. The two younger guys are a bit more adventurous than the oldest,
so they rode it over and over during the Extra Magic Hour one morning last
summer. Shark Reef is very exciting, albeit a tad cold, and the lazy river is
fun for playing around in.
The favorite attraction at
Blizzard Beach is the Toboggan Racers. The youngest guy likes it best because
some lifeguard always takes pity on him and shoves him off well ahead of the
rest of us. I still win, though! ("Because you're bigger than me,
Mom!") Teamboat Springs is a hoot because we all get to experience it
together and we spin around like a top. The boys enjoy the Ski Patrol Training
area, too, although they get restless there pretty quickly, preferring the
bigger, more exciting slides.
The last thing to take
into consideration, for me, is where to eat so that I can afford to feed these
boys for two weeks at Walt Disney World. It's almost always counter service,
except for one character meal, which is usually Chef Mickey's at the
Contemporary. We eat breakfast at the campsite or on the way to the park. In
earlier years, I could get away with the boys sharing a meal and being
satisfied. Not so now, my friends! Adolescence has kicked in and the appetite
with it. Sometimes even an adult meal - burger, fries, and water- doesn't
always fill the boys up so I'm coughing out extra cash for another burger or
two. I also make sure the boys eat something besides burgers or chicken, so the
occasional salad gets added to the rotation, much to their dismay.
I think that covers the
basics. There is so much to do and see in the World, and it always changes.
Walt Disney World is, without a doubt, our most favorite place to vacation, and
with the three boys, there's never a trip that's not exciting for all of us.

DISNEY TIPS FROM FELLOW
READERS
==========================================
Our readers are a wealth
of information! Here are the winners in this month's tip contest:
PHOTOPASS PLAN
"PhotoPass is great
when traveling solo! I used it during MouseFest 2006. I called home and gave my
husband my PhotoPass code number, he set up an account online and then checked
daily to see how my photos had turned out. Sometimes the photos would get
uploaded to the PhotoPass site the same day. It was a good way for them to feel
some of the magic back home while Mom had fun with her MouseFest friends. Also,
if traveling with a large group like at MouseFest, write your name on your
PhotoPass card with a sharpie pen. Mine got mixed up with someone else's and
when the PhotoPass was handed back to me, I got someone else's card!"
-- contributed by Janice P.
PASS ON A PARK
"We are planners in
the extreme - the PassPorter was tailor-made for us! Still, we know that there
has to be wiggle-room in every trip. To take the pressure off, we always
designate one day during the week as a non-park day. It might be spent in the
resort pool, at Downtown Disney, or just exploring the property. Whatever we
do, we're not worried about "wasting" a day of park admission, and we
never fail to discover aspects of Disney that we would have missed with our
usual relentless pace. This is a great way to let everyone rejuvenate and just
appreciate the fantastic details that surround you everywhere in Walt Disney
World."
-- contributed by Bob K.
BETTER BACKINGS
"I always am looking
for ways to display some of the great pins that I've collected at Disney over
the years. On a recent trip I found magnetic pin backings at many of the stores
throughout Disney World. You can replace your pin's regular backing with these
magnetic backs and turn your pin into a magnet. My refrigerator never looked so good!"

CAPTAIN'S CORNER: Treasure
Hunting Game
==========================================
Play our fun and quirky
treasure hunting game, hosted by Captain Jack Skatt from our 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 weekÕs
journal entry:
"After last week's
run-in with a certain 'porcine diva' I couldn't get pigs off my my mind. As an
attempted cure, I headed to Magic Kingdom for a spin in the Mad Hatter's tea
cups. Something I ate must have disagreed with me. Perhaps it was the cookie
labeled 'Eat Me?' As I spun out of control I began thinking about pigs again...
the Three Little Pigs, then those piggies morphed magically into the Three
Caballeros, then Huey, Dewey, and Louie... I clearly had 'three' on the brain!
All became a blur, and I felt I was rising, spinning, falling, spinning, and
rising again. When it all stopped, I wasn't even in Magic Kingdom anymore ...
in fact it seemed I was in prehistoric times, atop a dinosaur with three horns!
I staggered off the ride, looked across the plaza, spied yet another spinning
ride, and nearly tossed that cookie!"
On what "three"
ride did Jack end his spin, and what other attraction did he spy? For bonus
points, what sandwich (supplied by a nearby eatery) might have helped him
revenge himself on his piggy nemesis?
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 Carol
Vandiver who was the winner of last week's treasure hunt game! Carol correctly
identified the location of the kitchens as The Muppet Vision 3D Headquarters
and the cost of a bowl of soup as $2.95. Great job on getting the bonus points
Carol! To view the original clue, see last week's newsletter at http://www.passporter.com/news/news050307.htm#captain
If you enjoy treasure
hunts, we've got an entire book with over 100 distinct treasure hunts and over

Q & A WITH JENNIFER
& DAVE
====================================
Kylerayner asks: "To
those who have gone to MouseFest in the past, is it very expensive? Have you
done both the Cruise and the trip to WDW? It sounds like lots of fun and I
would love to go one year but it sounds it would cost a lot of money for
flight, cruise, Disney resort, park tickets, meals, etc."
Dave and Jennifer answer:
"The costs for MouseFest are comparable to the cost of any Disney
vacation. Most MouseFest events are free-of-charge, and you pay whatever rate
you can get for the cruise, lodging, etc. MouseFest intentionally takes place
during Value Season so that folks get affordable rates. The travel agents
block-book rooms at early-booking savings and pass them along to their
customers, so you may find you can't get as good a deal on the cruise directly
from Disney. Still, there's no requirement to book with the travel agents
offering MouseFest travel - you can book it all yourself if you wish, but
you'll find that because the agencies understand this, they work hard to
deliver the best pricing available. Further, the agencies typically include
"value-added" inducements to book with them - private parties and the
like to encourage you to book with them rather than pay the same rates directly
to Disney (they pay for the extras out of their commission from Disney).
Specific costs? That depends if you stay off-property, at All-Stars or Pop, or
at the Grand Floridian - there are no "official" MouseFest hotels.
Airfare naturally depends on where you're flying from. Meals? Your choice of
counter service, snacks brought from home, table service, etc. at regular
Disney rates (or Disney Dining Plan, if you want to purchase it) - MouseFest
does not provide a meal plan, although there are meal meets you can attend
where you'll pay your fair share of the bill.
Relatively few people do
"all" of MouseFest. Of course, as a founder and Chairman, I do it
all, but it's hardly the same for me as it is for most folks. Some folks only
go on the cruise, others only go for the land portion and sometimes for just a
part of the land portion. They do what their budget allows."
