Hi,
{{user("firstname")}}!
It's time for our annual earlier
edition offer! Get a copy of PassPorter Walt Disney World 2006 (spiral edition,
complete with 14 organizer pockets) for just one buck ($1), plus
shipping/handling. Our $1 PassPorter is a GREAT introduction to the PassPorter
concept, particularly for a friend or family member. The information is a bit
out-of-date at this point, but there's still a lot of good stuff in there and
it'll give you a feel for our style and coverage. Plus, the fold-out color park
maps, pockets, worksheets, and resort maps are always useful. Very limited quantities
are available -- limit one book per order. For more information and to get your
$1 PassPorter, visit the $1 PassPorter page at http://www.passporterstore.com/store/onebuckpassporter.aspx
In other news, we sent the
finished manuscript of PassPorter's Walt Disney World 2008 to our printer in
Hong Kong last night, as scheduled! Hooray! Remember how proudly we described
our, "Nimble and responsive... little book production company," last
week, as we scrambled to incorporate last-minute changes at Walt Disney World
into our books? As it turns out, we didn't know just how nimble we'd have to
be!
As you've probably read, Disney
has just renamed Disney-MGM Studios (effective January 1, 2008), prompting many
more changes to the text, maps, and charts in the new book. Then, a little past
Noon yesterday (Wednesday), as we were performing our final proofreading of the
completed manuscript, a new press release popped into our in-boxes from Disney.
Walt Disney World's "Disney Vacation Club Resort" hotel category has
been re-named (see What's New and Changed)! Once more, we pored over the book
to make sure we'd found every reference that needed replacing.
Enough is enough! The book is now
at the printers, and we hope that the next big changes to be announced won't
come for a very long time. (What are our chances?)
Amidst this all, we had the
pleasure of dining last night here in Ann Arbor with Scott Thomas of http://www.PSCalculator.net fame (the
great Walt Disney World dining reservations planning site). Scott and his
delightful family were passing through town, so we all got together at a local
brew-pub that just happens to serve... ale and cheddar soup, very similar to
the legendary soup served at Epcot's Le Cellier restaurant; a taste of Disney
here in Michigan (although with the real Canada just 45 miles away, I suspect
the chefs weren't thinking about Epcot when they put that soup on the menu). We had a great time catching up on all
things Disney over our crocks of soup, fine steaks, and local brew. Ironically,
when we tried to get dinner reservations none were available. But we tried a
walk-up, and were seated immediately. We're lucky it was a summer Wednesday in
this college town. Once fall semester starts we probably would have had to go
elsewhere. At least we don't have the Disney Dining Plan here in Ann Arbor!

TRAVEL FEATURE: Molto Italia:
Florence
========================================================
by Cheryl Pendry, PassPorter
Featured Columnist
There are some places in the
world that you never seem to hear a bad word about. It doesn't happen often,
but when it does, you know you're in for a treat. Florence, Italy is one of
those places.
On our visit to Rome, we met a
lot of other tourists, nearly all of whom had come straight from Florence with
tales of how beautiful the city was and how amazing the art and the museums in
the city were. That was one of the reasons that I wanted to be on board the
Disney Magic when it set sail around the Mediterranean, so that we could see
this wonderful treasure for ourselves.
So did it live up to our
expectations? Absolutely. Florence is a photographer's paradise, with stunning
architecture everywhere you turn, but what is really amazing is that it's all
still standing. The city's historic bridges were all destroyed during the
Second World War, except for the Ponte Vecchio, literally translated into
English as the old bridge. And, looking at the bridge today, you can imagine
how beautiful the waterside must have looked in the 1940's before war broke
out.
Ponte Vecchio dates from 1345 and
has always been home to traders. When the bridge was first built, the traders
were butchers, tanners and blacksmiths, but today you'll find jewelers and
goldsmiths along this narrow bridge. As well as offering some superb views
along the River Arno, it's also a photo opportunity in its own right, with
special viewpoints along the banks of the river.
The river itself has presented
its own threats to Florence over the years, most recently in 1966, when the
Arno rose to a staggering 19 feet above street level. Although much has been
done to restore both the buildings and the art treasures damaged in the floods,
to this day, more than 40 years later, restoration work is still carrying on
behind the scenes, with some items unlikely to ever return to public display
again. Since then, unsurprisingly, measures have been put in place to ensure
that the city doesn't suffer such devastating floods again - and with good
reason, as many of the main tourist sights lie close to the River Arno.
The Uffizi is one example of
this. It's the oldest art gallery in the world, originally created in 1581 to
display the Medici family treasures, and offers visitors the chance to see some
of the greatest work of the Renaissance period. Even as you walk through the
courtyard, the importance of this gallery is brought home through the statues
lining this area, representing names familiar to most of us, such as
Michaelangelo, Donatello and Dante.
Carry on walking and you'll come
to Piazza della Signoria, the real center of Florence. On one side of this
square is Palazzo Vecchio, the Old Palace, which has been the town hall since 1322.
Standing in front of it is a replica of one of the most famous pieces of art in
the world, Michaelangelo's David. The original stands in the Academia museum,
dedicated to fine art, but on our tour, this was the closest we would get to
seeing that.
Everywhere you look in the
square, you find more sculptures, with the Rape of the Sabine Woman, carved
from a single block of flawed marble by Giambologna, and Perseus, a bronze
statue by Cellini. It was intended as a warning to enemies of Cosimo I, one of the
Medici family, and depicts a man holding a head up high, standing over the body
of his victim. A far more pleasant vision is just opposite in the form of the
Neptune Fountain, which shows the Roman sea god surrounded by water nymphs,
although this commemorates Tuscan naval victories.
The Piazza della Signoria really
is a place to just stand and take it all in, with fine art everywhere you look.
It has to be one of the world's most breathtaking squares and it's no surprise
that we spent more time here than anywhere else in Florence on our tour.
Somewhere I would have liked to
have spent more time was to the north of the Piazza at the Duomo (or Cathedral,
in English). As someone who's seen a lot of amazing churches all over Europe
and indeed in America, it takes a lot to astound me, but this building was
simply breathtaking. Had we not been on a tour, I could have stood there quite
happily admiring all the intricate detail for hours on end. Even today, no
building stands taller in Florence than the Duomo, with its revolutionary dome
designed by Brunelleschi. At the time it was constructed, it was the largest
dome in the world built without scaffolding, with an inner shell instead
providing a platform for the timbers that support the outer shell. The Duomo
also boasts a campanile (bell tower), 276 feet tall, which is clad in white,
green and pink Tuscan marble. As we drove into Florence earlier in the day, we
had seen the enormous gorges in the nearby countryside, evidence of marble
production and in the city; you could see the beautiful uses it had been put to
over the centuries.
Just opposite the Duomo is the
Bapistry, a place you can hardly miss with crowds gathered around to admire its
glittering golden East Doors. Also referred to as the Gates of Paradise, they
depict stories from the Old Testament and the detail on them is extraordinary.
Although what you see today are copies because the originals were becoming so
dirty from pollution, they're still eye catching and well worth a look.
That really sums up Florence as a
whole -- the city is definitely well worth a look. After having heard so many
good reports about it before we visited it, we weren't disappointed. The only
disappointment is the one that you always get with cruises - you just get a taste
of a city in a very brief visit. if you want to see and learn more about the
place, then a return visit is a must. That's something that's a distinct
possibility for us, as there is much more to Florence that we managed to
experience in a half-day tour. It easily lends itself to a weekend of
exploration.

DISNEY FEATURE: Keeping The Magic
Alive: Beating The Post Trip Blues
========================================================
by Thomas Cackler, PassPorter
Guest Contributor
You know how it feels. It's that
time when the buzz from your last trip has worn off and the excitement of your
next trip hasn't kicked in yet. You find that reading trip reports of others
going to a Disney Resort don't hold the same excitement as they did before. You
pick up your PassPorter only to sigh, and put it back on the shelf, as you
can't quite bear the thought of just how long it will be until your next trip
to Walt Disney World. You might as well face it, you're addicted to Disney.
Worse, you're going through withdrawal.
Thankfully, there is a cure to
the Disney Blues - easy ways to keep the magic alive until the excitement can
carry you to your next visit to the most magical place on earth. Best of all,
you might have many of the tools necessary to complete the job already in your
house. It won't cost a fortune to enjoy a small taste of the magic right in the
comfort of your own home.
On your next trip, rather than
purchasing something that will sit on a shelf and collect dust, pick up a
souvenir that you can use every day. A new Disney coffee mug is something that
you can use every day that will remind you of your vacation with every sip. A
fun shirt that you can wear to the office is another way to keep the magic
alive despite that weekly conference call. Speaking of that call, why not take
your notes at that next meeting with a Mickey Mouse pen? Taking a little bit of
Disney to your office is a great way to make your days a little more magical.
Another great way of keeping the
magic alive is to keep the magic in front of you all the time. Put pictures of
your trip where you can see them. Take that favorite picture of your family
with Goofy to the office and put it on your desk next to the post card you sent
yourself on the last day of your trip. If you have trouble getting the entire
family into a picture because someone has to snap the shot, ask the PhotoPass
photographer to snap one with your camera after they have taken their shot. A
great picture with the entire family is something that truly is priceless.
If you have an office where you
can decorate, the Art of Disney store at Epcot has many prints for under $20
that are suitable for framing that will make you smile as you deal with the
daily grind. If you have a smaller space, post cards also make a great way to
keep the thrill of the parks in front of you all the time. If you don't have an
office, pick a room that you can decorate and make a safe haven from the world
around you. Visual reminders remain a great way to keep you in the magic.
With so many of the recipes from
your favorite restaurant available online, having a Disney meal is something
easy to do that will keep the magic alive. Add to the atmosphere by playing the
theme park music CD you picked up, or the home videos you shot on your last
trip. For the truly adventurous, the next time you go to Cosmic Ray's Starlight
Cafe, videotape Sunny Eclipse and have burgers and fries with the show on in
the background back home. Finally, the next time you decide to do a big family
breakfast, invite some of your favorite plush 'friends' along for a truly
unique 'character meal'.
However, perhaps the best way to
keep the magic alive is to do something magical for someone else. It's easy to
forget that so much of the magic that happens at Walt Disney World doesn't just
happen, it happens because of the talented and hard working cast members. So,
the next time you have the opportunity to spread a little bit of the Disney
magic to the unsuspecting world, take the time and do it. Whether it's going
the extra mile for a co-worker or customer or if it means getting involved with
charities or organizations that send ill children to Walt Disney World, there
are countless ways to make more magic both in your life and in the lives of
others.
The magic is something that is
easy to keep alive as a way to beat those post trip blues. However, the
important thing to remember is that the magic isn't just that thrill of falling
thirteen stories on the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror or getting up close and
personal with a Yeti. The magic comes from the memories of spending time with
family and friends enjoying the idea that Walt Disney himself created. Even if
your next trip to Walt Disney World isn't for several years, you don't need to
find yourself without the magic. Just remember to take a few steps before you
leave the "World" and get creative when you get home and magic will
never be beyond your reach.

UPDATES: What's New and Changed
==========================================
Here's a few relevant news items:
Beginning in January 2008,
Disney-MGM Studios will be officially known as Disney's Hollywood Studios. The
name change will be a gradual process but all signage and merchandise will
reflect the new name as of January.
Speaking of name changes, Walt
Disney World has announced that they're changing the "Disney Vacation Club
Resorts" lodging category in brochures, marketing materials, etc. to
Disney Deluxe Villa Resorts. Disney is not changing anything about Disney
Vacation Club (DVC), or the status of those resorts (Old Key West, BoardWalk
Villas, Wilderness Lodge Villas, Beach Club Villas, Saratoga Springs Resort,
and Animal Kingdom Lodge Villas). Rather, Disney wants to communicate that
anybody can reserve a villa, not just DVC members. This has always been true,
but judging by the questions and comments we receive, the change a few years ago from
"Home-Away-From-Home Resorts" to "Disney Vacation Club
Resorts" did create some confusion.
Playhouse Disney - Live on Stage
will close in January 2008 and re-open in February 2008 featuring a new cast
that reflects the current line up on Playhouse Disney. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse,
Handy Manny and the Little Einsteins are all rumored to be added to the show.
Handy Manny will begin making character appearances in the Animation Courtyard
in November 2007.
Many of the special events for
this year's Epcot International Food & Wine Festival have already sold out.
(The Wine Pairing Dinners offered at Le Cellier have completely sold out. For
other events, individual dates have sold out. ) To make your special event
reservations, call Disney at 407-WDW-FEST.
Starting in September, Actor
Martin Short and Canadian Idol winner Ava Avila will be featured in an updated
"O Canada!" film shown at Epcot's Canada pavilion.
Also at Epcot, the France
pavilion is now home to one of only four Guerlain fragrance boutiques in the
U.S.

DISNEY TIPS FROM FELLOW READERS
==========================================
Our readers are a wealth of
information! Here are the winners in this month's tip contest:
TAXI TROUBLES
"If you take a taxi from a
Disney resort, get a card from the bellman of a good cab company to bring you
back. We didn't even think about it, just assumed that all licensed Cab
companies would be of an equal standard. From one of the shopping malls we had
a horrible experience getting back to the hotel."
-- contributed by Barbara P.
READ & REMEMBER
"I scrapbook and often order
two prints of each picture that I plan to use - just in case I crop one too
much! I have tons of leftover pictures that I keep in a box. I also like to
read and am often searching for a bookmark. I once grabbed one of the
"extra" Disney photos and used it as a bookmark. Every time I opened
my book I would look at the picture and it would take me back to that
particular Disney moment. I now switch out "bookmarks" when I begin a
new book."
-- contributed by Sarah R.
AUTOMATIC AUTOGRAPHS
"On our last trip to Disney
World we bought our daughter the small autograph book. After the first day of
turning the pages to find the next page, I thought of a little trick. I started
folding the pages bottom corner to opposite top corner up on one page then down
on the other. This made it very easy to flip to the next page and we received a
lot of compliments for folding the pages.Cast Members loved the idea they said
it made the lines go faster because you could turn right to the next
page."

answer will receive a free PassPorter enamel pin or PassPorter name badge pin.
Here is this week's journal
entry:
"Last night I watched Wishes
from a special spot. While waiting, I discovered an overlooked sign beside a
path. It was a bronze award plaque, awarded to Walt Disney World in July 1985.
It was presented by an "All-America" non-profit organization for
'contibuting to the public interest .... through it's efforts in maintaining an
outstanding ... (rest of text obscured by a dirt smudge)"

====================================
Q & A WITH JENNIFER &
DAVE
====================================
rjh asks: "We were thinking
about passing on all the excursions on St. Martin, renting a car and driving to
some of the areas like Marigot, Phillipsburg, and Orient Bay on our own. Is
this feasible? I'm having a hard time finding out which rental car companies
are at the port where the ship docks (or near by). The book said to "do
research" and book in advance, and that 5 companies are there, but doesn't
say which companies they are..."
Dave and Jennifer answer:
"It's perilous for us to name the agencies, as those things are something
of a revolving door in a place like St. Martin. Even the big-name agencies are
privately owned franchises, and ownership of the smaller agencies is something
of a revolving door or shell game (although the families that own Hertz and
some of the other large franchises are among the oldest, wealthiest, and most
stable on the island - they also own the auto dealerships, insurance companies,
gas stations, hold major public offices...). The key information is whether the
agency runs a satellite office at the cruise terminal - they tend to come and
go. Other agencies might be willing to meet you at the pier. If you have a
brand preference or get a good online quote, call the agency and ask if this is
possible. The basic thing is, renting the same day on the pier almost
guarantees an over-priced rental.
There are a few web sites that
specialize in Caribbean car rentals. Mostly, they are U.S.-based businesses
that represent the smaller, independent agencies on the islands. We've used
this method with some success.
Can you rent a car and do that
driving tour? You bet. That's what I do, although I do have the advantage of
knowing the island very well. My cumulative time on St. Martin is well over 12
weeks over the years, with the longest stay 3 weeks - my parents have there for
at least a month every year for the past 30 years, and since we stay in a
private home, we drive everywhere. However, the roads are tricky enough that
you should leave yourself plenty of time for getting lost or stuck in traffic.
There's little point to driving around Phillipsburg, though. Plan to walk
around town before or after your driving tour."
