A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR
Our Ticket agent has GREAT PRICES on tickets to Walt Disney
World and other Florida attractions!
"I thought I knew all the tips for saving money at WDW, even
being a member of the Magic Kingdom Club for over 15 years,
but just learning about [your ticket agent] saved our family
over $300!!! Thanks." Janet Handy, Bel Air, MD
"Plenty of roadside outfits in Orlando promise discounted
tickets, but most of them really want to rope you into a
time-share sales pitch in exchange for vouchers - accept at
your own risk. [Affordable Disney's ticket agent], though,
is legit." The New York Post, November 16, 2004.

Beth, our travel agent, writes about passports:
"You may have heard rumors about upcoming changes to the
rules about who needs a passport and when. Nothing is
written in stone yet, but you can bet that there WILL be
more strict rules enacted, and eventually you will need a
passport each and every time you leave the country. So I am
strongly advising that anyone who knows they will be
traveling out of the country in 2006 and beyond, or who
thinks it's a definite possibility, go ahead and get a
passport NOW if you don't have one.
It's really not a difficult thing to do, and I predict that
the wait time to get one will steadily increase as the year
goes on. If you wait until you need one you may be out of
luck! Please read the following short article I received
from Cruise Line International Association (CLIA) for
additional information, and please pass it on to friends and
family who may be interested.
What are the new passport requirements?
On Tuesday, April 5, 2005, the U.S. State Department
announced details of the proposed "Western Hemisphere Travel
Initiative." If the proposed rules are enacted, U.S. and
Canadian citizens will be required to carry a passport for
travel to or from certain countries/areas that were
previously exempt. The proposed implementation is as
follows:
* December 31, 2005 - Passport required for all air and sea
travel to or from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Central and South
America.
* December 31, 2006 - Passport required for all air and sea
travel to or from Mexico and Canada.
* December 31, 2007 - Passport required for all air, sea and
land border crossings.
Once the proposed rules are finalized - either in their
current form or a modified form - the cruise industry will
communicate that information to our travel agent partners
and guests. In the meantime, individuals with future travel
plans that would be affected by the proposed new rules are
strongly encouraged to obtain a passport now.
You may print a passport application or get additional
information from the government on this subject by visiting:
http://travel.state.gov/passport
Please check back on our web site for future updates."
