====================================================
Hi,
{{user("firstname")}}!
We're just finishing work
on our latest PassPorter publication, PassPorter's Open Mouse for Walt Disney
World and the Disney Cruise Line by Deb Wills and Debra Martin Koma (of
AllEars.Net fame). This is actually the second edition of the award-winning
book formerly known as PassPorter Walt Disney World for Your Special Needs.
While a rose by any other name should smell as sweet (this one sure does), we
thought the new name better encompassed the scope and spirit of this amazing
book, which helps readers plan easy-access vacations for travelers with extra
challenges. The 448-page guidebook should be ready to ship by mid-September.
What better time to put the book into the PassPorter Store for pre-order? In
fact, anyone who pre-orders a copy through the PassPorter Store receives an
"easy-access" PDF file to download immediately after payment is made
-- use it to view the print larger, have the text read out loud to you, or just
get started planning before the books arrive! Get details and 40 free sample
pages at the Open Mouse Information Center at http://www.passporter.com/wdw/opemouse/guidebook.asp

TRAVEL FEATURE: Wimbledon:
Rain or Shine!
========================================================
by Cheryl Pendry,
PassPorter Featured Columnist
There are some great
British summer traditions.
One of them is Wimbledon
fortnight, when the top names in the tennis world head for a suburb of London
for the only Grand Slam tournament to be held on a grass surface. Sadly another
tradition is that once the fortnight gets underway, so does the rain. We've had
years where Wimbledon has helped to end weeks of drought conditions. I was
really hoping that this year would be different, as it was the first time in 11
years that I had managed to get tickets for the championship, although it's
been compulsory television viewing in our house for a number of years.
Wimbledon is very
different to most major sporting events in the way that the tickets allocated.
A certain amount of tickets are available for the show courts - Centre Court,
Number One and Number Two courts - on each day of the tournament via a public
ballot (lottery). To be entered into this ballot, all you have to do is send in
your details and a self-addressed envelope between the start of August and mid
December. If you're successful, then you'll get notification in February or
March, with details of the date and court that you've been allocated tickets
for. You can then decide whether you want to take them or not and if you do,
that's when you pay for them.
But what's unique about
Wimbledon is that even if you don't strike it lucky in the ballot, there is
still hope. Every day you can just turn up and queue for entry into the grounds
and for the remaining tickets for the show courts. Realistically, if you want
one of those show court tickets, you have to be there early. It's not uncommon
for people to camp out overnight and the lines often stretch around the
grounds, with thousands waiting and hoping to get in on the busiest days.
Fortunately we didn't have
to go down this route, as we were lucky enough to be allocated top-priced
tickets for Number One court for the first Saturday of the tournament. Of
course, I eagerly accepted those and paid for them. It's not a cheap day out,
but then, that applies to most major sporting tournaments. Besides, on a good
day, you could easily enjoy ten hours of tennis.
It became fairly obvious
though as the day dawned that there was no way we would be seeing that much
action. The clouds greeted us with rain as we parked and that continued on and
off throughout the morning. The gates usually open at 10:30 am and play will
then begin on the outside courts, numbers 3 through to 19, shortly afterwards
at 11:00 am. If you've just got a ticket to get into the grounds and want to
grab a seat to see the action on the outside courts, you'll need to move
quickly. By the time we got past the very thorough security checks (a lot of
places could learn from Wimbledon on that count!), a lot of the seats on court
13 were already taken. It's only that court and court 3 that have large amounts
of seating. The others have very limited seats and mainly standing room only
views.
When you first enter the
grounds, the thing that strikes you is how close together the courts are. The
outside courts are literally sandwiched together in two chunks to the north and
south of Centre Court, some with literally only a few feet between them.
Speaking of Centre Court,
it's in the middle of a very dramatic refurbishment, which will see the
installation of a retractable roof by the 2009 tournament. This year there's no
roof on the court at all, making for a potentially wet and windy spectator and
playing experience. And that's exactly what we got on the day we were there.
That rain was never far away and before long, we heard an announcement that
first there would be no play until midday, then 1:00 pm and then 1:30 pm.
Fortunately, when it
rains, there are lots of other things to see and do - of course, most of them
cost you money! There are plenty of places to get food, although as you'd
expect, the prices aren't cheap and when it rains, it's mobbed. The Wimbledon
shop is another good way to ensure that you don't leave with the money you
entered with, full of tempting items. Let's just say that the Wimbledon
umbrella we bought was the best purchase we'd made in some time!
Finally we took our seats
on Number One court and discovered that we really had lucked out with them. We
were in the front row, about four seats along from where the players' coaches
and families sit. We couldn't have wished for anything better, except for
sunshine and dry weather.
We eventually got enough
of a break in the rain to get the players on to court and we were treated to a
first class match between number two seed Maria Sharapova and the number 26
seed Ai Sugayama. Although the score didn't reflect it, it was a close match
and perhaps some of the most interesting things were the things you don't
really notice when you watch TV coverage. It was quiet enough to hear a pin
drop when either player served, which I never realized before, and to actually
see the power and motion that goes into each serve really makes you admire
their fitness levels. It looks like a very simple game to play, but there's a
great deal of technique, training and sheer power required to do it well.
As the match moved into
its last game, the rain returned and as soon as the players shook hands, the
ground staff were into place and hauling the covers safely back into place to
protect the court from the rain. They make it look like an effortless operation
and the speed at which they get the cover into place is staggering.
Sadly, from that point
onwards, we saw no further play, but fortunately as we had only seen just over
an hour's worth of play, we would receive half of our money back. This rain
policy was introduced a few years ago and for those on Centre Court, the news
was even better. With just 58 minutes play, as they had seen less than an hour
of tennis, they would get a complete refund on the price of their tickets. It
may sound generous, but let's not forget, with nothing to watch, we were all happily
spending money inside the grounds!
Despite the rain, we will
definitely be trying to get lucky in the Wimbledon ballot for the 2008
tournament. It's an experience I can thoroughly recommend, although I can't
always promise good weather for your day out!

DISNEY FEATURE: Discovery
Cove: A Tropical Paradise in Orlando
========================================================
by Barry Hom, PassPorter
Guest Contributor
I'd visited all the theme
parks in Orlando except one: Discovery Cove. From Discovery Cove's web site,
the park looked like a beautiful tropical paradise and an enjoyable time, but
the high cost of admission kept me away. Currently, the price with the dolphin
package is $259 to $279, depending on the time of year. I checked the price for
an early March visit and found a Florida Resident discount of $199 with the
dolphin encounter. The regular price was $229. Each admission includes a seven
consecutive day's pass for Sea World Orlando and Busch Gardens Africa, or pay
$30 more to have admission to both parks for 14 consecutive days. Continental
breakfast and lunch for the day at Discovery Cove are also included. Even with
the discount and the admission special, it took me days to decide to book. My
deciding factor was reading numerous trip reports on different Internet
discussion boards about Discovery Cove. Almost unanimously, the trip reports
stated the experience was well worth the investment.
Discovery Cove is divided
into two parts, separated by a blue bridge. One part is home to the Resort
Pool, Tropical River, and the Coral Reef. The other part is the restaurant, the
Dolphin Lagoon, the bathhouse, and the cabanas for the dolphin experience. Lush
vegetation is all around the park. You can sign up for a free horticulture tour
(which I didn't experience) at the Guest Services desk.
At check-in, you're given
an ID badge (which you can assign a credit card to for charging privileges) and
assigned a dolphin encounter time. My time was 11:00 am at the Starfish Cabana.
After posing for your complimentary photo at the blue bridge, you can enjoy the
continental breakfast. The restaurant had all the pastries, coffee, juices, and
milk that you can consume. You can go back through the line and have seconds if
you want.
After breakfast, it was
time to choose a vest or wet suit (I chose a vest because it was a warm day). I
also picked up a bag with a mask, snorkel, and a package of dolphin-safe
sunscreen. At the end of the day, you could keep the bag, snorkel, and the
sunscreen. Please note that if you wear sunscreen that is not dolphin-safe,
you'll be told to wash it off and use the dolphin-safe sunscreen. You can buy
more of this sunscreen in the gift shop. After changing in the bathhouse and
storing my gear in the free lockers, it was time to have fun!
The Resort Pool has a
small cave with a large waterfall running in front of it. The water in the pool
was four feet at its deepest point, according to Discovery Cove's web site. The
Tropical River winds in a circle. It starts at one end of the Resort Pool and
ends at the other. One part of the river is about eight feet deep, and warning
signs are posted. The river has more beautiful vegetation to admire and lovely
waterfalls to swim through. You can also see vases and other
"artifacts" below the surface. Underwater rocks create a bright path.
The river took me an hour to walk - quite a workout! Later in the day, I took a
leisurely swim along the river.
The Coral Reef is like
going to Bermuda and snorkeling in their waters. The salt water is fairly cold;
it felt like it was around 60 degrees! You become acclimated to it after a few
minutes of immersion. The Coral Reef had dozens of colorful fish and giant
stingrays that were so close that you could touch them! Protective glass
separates you from the sharks and barracudas. You could swim the reef, but if
you're tall like I am at 6'3", you can walk it and keep your head above
water.
In the Aviary, you can see
all sorts of birds and you can even feed them out of your hand. Keep an eye out
for the resident deer, which hid in the bushes when I visited.
Like breakfast, lunch is
included in the admission cost. They were serving jambalaya, macaroni and
cheese, lobster salad, cheeseburgers and fries, and other delicious dishes. The
restaurant also served side salads and a variety of deserts. The food at
Anheuser-Busch parks tend to be of very good quality and lunch was no
exception. I tried the jambalaya and it was sumptuous! Of course, I had to try
dessert. The chocolate cake was delicious! Like breakfast, you could have
second helpings if you wanted.
At 11:00 am, it was time
to experience the piece de resistance of Discovery Cove; the dolphin encounter.
A group of 32 guests met at the Starfish Cabana and was divided into groups of
eight. The experience started with a short video about dolphins. The groups
then headed into the Dolphin Lagoon to meet their assigned dolphins. You are
not allowed to bring anything into the lagoon except for your mask and snorkel.
Photographers with digital cameras and camcorders were in the water to capture
the experience.
Our dolphin was a three-year
old named Marena, who made a grand entrance by jumping out of the water and
doing a flip! The Discovery Cove trainer told the group many facts about the
dolphins. One interesting thing is the trainers always ask, never force, the
dolphins to do tricks when they give hand signals. The entire group touched the
dolphin's skin, flippers, dorsal fin, and tail fluke.
During the dolphin swim,
each guest in the group was able to interact with Marena. The first opportunity
was a pose with the dolphin for a Kodak moment-worthy photograph. During the
second opportunity, each guest gave Marena a kiss on her dolphin
"lips." The last interaction was a ride with the dolphin. Each guest
swam out to the 12-foot deep end of the lagoon, about 20 feet away. Marena
approached that person, and the guest put one hand of the dorsal fin and the
other hand where the dolphin's flipper meets its body. Hang on tight because
this ride is more thrilling than a ride on Sea World Orlando's Kraken roller
coaster! At the end of the dolphin encounter time, all four dolphins grouped
together and did a few jumps out of the water. The entire experience lasted
about 45 minutes.
After the dolphin swim,
the group was led to a small building where we could view our pictures. I could
pick out the photos I wanted on a touch screen monitor. You could choose
package deals, but due to the high costs, I decided to go a la carte. I chose
the souvenir DVD and two 6x8 photos. The DVD cost $60 and the two photos were
$16 each. (All prices are subject to change.)
Yes, Discovery Cove is
expensive. Is it worth the money? I'd say it is. The experience is quite
memorable and pleasurable. Four months after my visit, I still often think of
the good times I've had at the park. Discovery Cove is different than the other
parks, as there's no need to make a plan or decide in what order to experience
the attractions. As a maximum of 1,000 guests are allowed entrance every day,
you don't have to wait for anything or deal with huge crowds. If you can
overcome the sticker shock of Discovery Cove, you can have an amazing
experience. I'm already considering a return visit!

DISNEY TIPS FROM FELLOW
READERS
==========================================
Our readers are a wealth
of information! Here are the winners in this month's tip contest:
DRIVING FOR DOLLARS
"When we go on
vacation we always rent a car and drive. So to make the time go by faster for
our son we play travel games (like license plate games) and give him challenges
to complete. ;As rewards he earns money (Disney Dollars). So he gets his
spending money on the way and doesn't have a chance to spend it before we leave,
and also has something to do during the long car ride."
-- contributed by Jennifer
W.
DISNEY DIAPER DILEMMA
"We took our girls on
their first trip to Disney World this past February. Zora was 2 1/2 and Chloe
was 4. Before we left I dreaded diaper changes and carrying all the changes of
clothes and pull ups, so I told Zora that pull ups weren't allowed in Disney
(OK, a little white lie). We got there and the entire time we were there she
only wet her pants once, and that was the first day there and she didn't have a
nap. So I guess Disney potty trained Zora for me. That in itself was a reason
to go!"
-- contributed by Caren R.
RELAX!
"Be reasonable! Make
sure to take time to relax. Plan the things you definitely want to do but don't
push too hard. It's supposed to be fun!"

Q & A WITH JENNIFER
& DAVE
====================================
disneyfanatic60 asks: My
husband and I are taking our first cruise over Labor Day. This is our first
trip away without our two children (23 & 19). Is there any way they can
contact us at all while we are out to sea? Help this worried Mom put her mind
at ease!"
Dave and Jennifer answer:
"While you're at sea your costs are high to contact home, but it can be
done (and has been available all along). You can telephone from your stateroom
phone, at $6.95 per minute (they can phone you for the same price using
888-DC-AT-SEA). Cell service may be available on the Wonder by the time you
travel - it was added to the Magic first. You won't need international roaming
for that. There will probably be some sort of charge for text messaging, as a
third-party company handles the cell service on board. Whether you can use
international roaming in your ports of call depends on which ports, and which
phone services you use. Internet access (for a fee) is also available on board
using the ship's Internet Cafe or with wireless access using your own
WiFi-equipped computer."
