Author Biography

Jennifer Marx fell in love with Walt Disney World on her first visit as a teenager in 1983. She has since returned more times than she can count on her fingers and toes, visiting every park, attraction, resort, and restaurant at least once. As author of over a dozen popular books, she yearned to write one about Walt Disney World but felt no interest in churning out yet another travel guide when there were so many excellent books already available. When she hit upon the idea of the PassPorter, she knew she could offer her fellow vacationers something unique and valuable. With the help of the PassPorter, Jennifer has organized gatherings at Walt Disney World for individuals, groups, and families of all ages. Jennifer lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan where she makes her home with husband Dave, step-daughter Allie, newborn son Alexander, and their Alaskan Malamute dog, Kippi. Dave Marx may be considered a Renaissance Man, a jack-of-all-trades, or a dilettante, depending on how you look at things. He took a 20-year hiatus between his early journalism training and the commencement of his full-time writing career. Beyond co-authoring numerous books with Jennifer, he's been a radio writer/producer; recording engineer; motion picture music editor; broadcast engineering supervisor; tax preparer; cab driver; whitewater safety and rescue instructor; developer and instructor of online publishing courses; and newsletter editor and promotions chief for an online forum. He has also co-authored and contributed to numerous books about America Online and the Internet. He discovered the "World" (Walt Disney World, that is) in 1997 and spent more than six months there over the following five years. Dave is from New Jersey, and now makes his home in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Allison Cerel Marx ("Allie") is a veteran visitor to Walt Disney World (and Dave's 12-year-old daughter). She has a maniacal grin, especially when spinning one of Mad Hatter's teacups at top speed. She's camped at Fort Wilderness, hung out in the Treehouses at the Disney Institute, celebrated New Year's Eve 1999/2000 in the Magic Kingdom, and photographed animals at the Animal Kingdom Lodge Resort. She shares her "A-Ok!" ratings and her popular tips for kids and "tweens" (pre-teens) on the attractions in the Touring the 'World' chapter. Allie also offers her thoughts on the childcare clubs on property. (Allie is pictured here with her baby brother, Alexander... a future co-author!).
