1: New Edition has a different title
This book has a new edition coming out 9/28/2007. The title is _Passporter's Open Mouse...Easy Access Vacations for Trevelers with Extra Challenges_. You don't need to get an overpriced old edition! It took some digging on the Passpoter Website for me to find this, and Amazon does have it!

2: Traveling with food allergies
I have several food allergies. It makes traveling difficult during the best of times. But when you are going to be a captive audience, it's a little more daunting. This book gave great information as to what accommodations can be made for travelers with special needs. It also gives phone numbers to call to make your individual requests. The information is accurate and very informative.

3: must have
I bought this book because my grandson has a mild form of autism and we're taking him and his family to Disney in June. I have read the book and it has the best information on each ride at all the parks. We can now plan what to do and warn him ahead of time that he may have a problem with the ride but he can make up his own mind with the information given in the book. Well worth the money

4: Don't leave home without it.
This book is an invaluable resource for anyone planning a trip to Walt Disney World. As a repeat visitor to WDW I found this book about as informative as it gets, they've thought of just about everthing that may present a problem during your visit. It raises quite a bit of awareness, too. Written by folks who really care about everyone being able to enjoy all that WDW has to offer. I can't say enough.

5: Planning a Relaxing and Comfortable Vacation
"Maybe you've always dreamed of taking a vacation to Walt Disney World or cruising with Disney but were reluctant, thinking that once you got there, your special situation would not be accommodated. We'd like to show you how you, too, can enjoy a vacation at this 47-square-mile playground, no matter what special need or requirement you might have."
Everyone has special needs when they go traveling and this guide is truly an exploration of the needs of all people visiting Walt Disney World. From diet concerns and allergies to mobility issues, they have everything covered. A page of special needs quickly helps you find the page you are looking for. Concerned because you are pregnant? Turn to page 73. Concerned about religious issues and foods you will need to find on vacation, turn to pages 31-34.
List of what to pack for your vacation are practical and enlightening. There are maps of the Magic Kingdom and information on all the places you can stay like the Winderness Lodge and Villas, but notes are made about the rooms being poorly lit. So this might be a concern. There are low, medium and high ratings for all the resorts. Unique elements of pools are featured, like pools that have wheelchair access so you can be wheeled right into the pool. Advice for pregnant women is useful to explain which rides they might want to avoid and why it is best not to sit too long in a hot tub. Really helpful advice I would never have considered.
The special needs include: ADHD, Addiction Recovery, Allergies, Autism, Chronic Fatigue, Cognitive Disabilities, Diet, Fears, Fibromyalgia, Foreign Language, Hearing, Heart Health, Infants, Medical Treatment, Mental Health, Mobility, Motion Sensitivity, Physical Therapy, Pregnancy, Rehabilitation, Religion, Seniors, Service Animals, Size and Vision.
So, as a safety manual for travel, this book has a lot to offer, no matter where you are traveling, but will be especially helpful as a travel guide for anyone visiting Walt Disney World.
