PassPorter's Open Mouse for Walt Disney World and the Disney Cruise Line: Easy Access Vacations for Travelers with Extra Challenges 
America's most popular resort destination made it to the top of the charts for many reasons -- a hug from Mickey, a childhood revisited, a cleaner, safer, friendlier world... chief among them is Disney's hospitality. At Disney, every visitor is a guest, and Disney's parks, restaurants, cruise ships, and hotels strive to embrace everyone, regardless of any special accommodations they may require. In fact, when you think of it, virtually every family or group that visits Walt Disney World and the Disney Cruise Line has a special challenge. It's hardly a one-size-fits-all world, yet at Disney everyone seems to fit. It's clear that Disney has a reputation for accommodating guests with obvious special challenges -- you'll see more wheelchairs and electric scooters in Disney parks than you're likely to see almost anywhere else. But Disney's hospitality extends further, to those with less visible requirements. Disney offers accommodations for those who know to ask: Devices to help a hearing- or vision-impaired guest enjoy a show * theme park maps and translation devices in six languages * "Special assistance" for children with autism or ADD * a sheltered spot to breastfeed an infant * chefs and waiters schooled to serve a wide spectrum of special dietary needs * rides sized to fit guests of various disabilities and dimensions... You could fill a volume, and indeed, that's what PassPorter Travel Press and authors Deb Wills and Debra Martin Koma have done in this completely updated guidebook.
Customer Review: Best book for travel challenges!
If you or a family member suffers from food allergies, motion sensitivity, mobility issues, fears, or any other special needs or challenges, this book and show how you can have a fantastic time at Walt Disney World! This book has a lot of the information from the PassPorter's Walt Disney World combined with additional information for those with travel disabilities and allergies. My only reason for not giving it 5 stars is that it really doesn't cover the Disney Cruise Line all that much.
Customer Review: a wonderful book !

Disney/Pixer Friends & Heroes (First Look and Find) 
Customer Review: Great book for under 3 years old
It's a beautiful book. We purchased it for our grandson. He was around 3 1/2 years old. He has other "Find" books that are harder to search out. I think this one was just a little too easy for him. I would highly recommend it for under 3 years old though.
Customer Review: Has pictures of shooting on the Incredibles page
My son loved several of the other books in this series, and so I got this one without giving it much thought. I was disappointed because the Incredibles page has several people shooting one another. I found it very inappropriate for my 2 year old. :(
Cinema Paradiso

Customer Review: "The Summer Smiles, The Summer Knows"
"When Monica Mancini set out to record this retrospective of songs from films, she clearly had her passions in order. Monica comes by her affinity for the medium honestly, having grown up in a house permeated with some of the best film music in history, from the pen of her incredibly prolific father, Henry. So it is no surprise that this collection has all the artistry, pathos, and musicality that it so deserves." ~ Dave Grusin, Liner Notes - 2002 ~ Dave Grusin, an expert arranger, conductor, pianist, film scorer himself has described this album so perfectly. The choice of material in this CD is impeccable with Monica Mancini's graceful interpretations and not to mention the flawlessly beautiful arrangements by Torrie Zito, John Calandrelli, Michael Lang, Patrick Williams, George Doering, Ray Ellis, Harvey Cohen and John Frizzell. There are twelve theme songs from various remarkable films in this recording and most of the tracks were backed up by an orchestra with the exception of a few. The theme song from the movie "Summer of '42" penned by the creative husband-and-wife-team of Alan & Marilyn Bergman and composer Michel Legrand "The Summer Knows" is one of my top choices from this collection. Splendidly arranged by Michael Lang and Harvey Cohen on string section, she renders this timeless song so true to its essence and making it the most beautiful version, bar none! Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "Alfie" (from the movie of the same title), is a moving song accompanied only by the sublime piano playing of Michael Lang. She has an exquisitely beautiful voice, the kind that still shines without the trimmings and backing up of an orchestra, (the kind that still glows even on A Cappella singing). Another affecting song and a favorite of mine is "Too Late Now," a Burton Lane and Alan Jay Lerner treasure and theme from the movie "Royal Wedding." The orchestral arrangement was done by Torrie Zito, a fine pianist/arranger/conductor who worked briefly with the legendary musical icon, Frank Sinatra. I loved the way he injected a classical touch on his arrangement, almost sounding like one of Claude Debussy's masterpieces. I would say that this is one of the best tracks. Ditto with another Torrie Zito arrangement, Johnny Mandel and Paul Webster's "The Shadow of Your Smile" from the movie "The Sandpiper." Ms. Mancini gave these classics the retire-the-trophy-treatments and made them her very own. The lovely opener, Ennio Morricone and Gregg Field's "Cinema Paradiso," arranged by Jorge Calandrelli, is also one of the standouts. Another beauty is "I'll Never Say Goodbye" from the movie "The Promise" with piano accompaniment by Michael Lang. The finale "Over The Rainbow" from "The Wizard of Oz" is simply divine with orchestral arrangement by Ray Ellis. This recording produced by Ms. Mancini's musician husband, Gregg Field, truly showed off not only the singer's vocal artistry, but her classy and elegant style of singing. Thank you Ms. Mancini for your wonderful gift of music. Music to enjoy forever!
Customer Review: Magnificent Monica!
My favorite song of all time is "The Shadow of Your Smile" from the movie "The Sandpiper". Until now, the 2 best versions of it were by Barbra Streisand and Tony Bennett. By FAR, this is THE best version of that song. Pure, without "vocal gymnastics", screaming, yelping or other artificial "stylings".. here it is sung as it was written, perfectly performed with beautiful orchestration. The rest of the album is no less miraculous. It is stunning. "A Day in the Life of a Fool", "Cinema Paradiso" and the haunting and tender "Theme from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" are just as lavish and well-crafted. Okay Monica, now could you release one album a year instead of one album every 3 years? Pleeeeassee??
Modern Duck masters John Lustig and William Van Horn reunite to bring Donald, Daisy, and Gladstone Gander a "Double Dose of Triple Trouble!" Then Mickey turns the hypnotic tables on "The Gleam" in the conclusion of Floyd Gottfredson's classic crime caper. The Junior Woodchucks "Wish They Hadn't" after acquiring a magic wishbone; then Goofy controls the rain with his brain in Sarah Kinney's "Weather or Not!" Finally, "Donald's Monster Kite" attacks the skies in a classic Carl Barks adventure.
