Forums Closed
|
As of January 1, 2019, we have closed our forums. This is a decision we did not come to lightly, but it is necessary. The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk. The server software itself must be updated, and it cannot be without removing the forums.
So it is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our long-running forums. They came online in 2000 and brought together so many wonderful Disney fans. We had friendships form, careers launch, couples marry, children born ... all because of this amazing community.
Thank you to each of you who were a part of this community. You made it possible.
And a very special thank you to our Guides (moderators), past and present, who kept our forums a happy place to be. You are the glue that held everything together, and we are forever grateful to you. Thank you aliceinwdw, Caldercup, MrsM, WillCAD, Fortissimo, GingerJ, HiddenMickey, CRCrazy, Eeyoresmom, disneyknut, disneydani, Cam22, chezp, WDWfan, Luvsun, KMB733, rescuesk, OhToodles!, Colexis Mom, lfredsbo, HiddenMickey, DrDolphin, DopeyGirl, duck addict, Disneybine, PixieMichele, Sandra Bostwick, Eeyore Tattoo, DyanKJ130, Suzy Q'Disney, LilMarcieMouse, AllisonG, Belle*, Chrissi, Brant, DawnDenise, Crystalloubear, Disneymom9092, FanOfMickey, Goofy4Goofy, GoofyMom, Home4us123, iamgrumpy, ilovedisney247, Jennifer2003, Jenny Pooh, KrisLuvsDisney, Ladyt, Laughaholic88, LauraBelle Hime, Lilianna, LizardCop, Loobyoxlip, lukeandbrooksmom, marisag, michnash, MickeyMAC, OffKilter_Lynn, PamelaK, Poor_Eeyore, ripkensnana, RobDVC, SHEANA1226, Shell of the South, snoozin, Statelady01, Tara O'Hara, tigger22, Tink and Co., Tinkerbelz, WDWJAMBA, wdwlovers, Wendyismyname, whoSEZ, WildforWD, and WvuGrrrl. You made the magic.
We want to personally thank Sara Varney, who coordinated our community for many years (among so many other things she did for us), and Cheryl Pendry, our Message Board Manager who helped train our Guides, and Ginger Jabour, who helped us with the PassPorter-specific forums and Live! Guides. Thank you for your time, energy, and enthusiasm. You made it all happen.
There are other changes as well.
Why? Well, the world has changed. And change with it, we must. The lyrics to "We Go On" for IllumiNations say it best:
We go on to the joy and through the tears
We go on to discover new frontiers
Moving on with the current of the years.
We go on
Moving forward now as one
Moving on with a spirit born to run
Ever on with each rising sun.
To a new day, we go on.
It's time to move on and move forward.
PassPorter is a small business, and for many years it supported our family. But the world changed, print books took a backseat to the Internet, and for a long time now it has been unable to make ends meet. We've had to find new ways to support our family, which means new careers and less and less time available to devote to our first baby, PassPorter.
But eventually, we must move on and move forward. It is the right thing to do.
So we are retiring this newsletter, as we simply cannot keep up with it. Many thanks to Mouse Fan Travel who supported it all these years, to All Ears and MousePlanet who helped us with news, to our many article contributors, and -- most importantly -- to Sara Varney who edited our newsletter so wonderfully for years and years.
And we are no longer charging for the Live Guides. If you have a subscription, it's yours to keep for the lifetime of the Live Guides at no additional cost. The Live Guides will stay online, barring server issues and technical problems, for all of 2019.
That said, PassPorter is not going away. Most of the resources will remain online for as long as we can support them, and after that we will find ways to make whatever we can available. PassPorter means a great deal to us, and to many of you, and we will do our best to keep it alive in whatever way we can. Our server costs are high, and they'll need to come out of our pockets, so in the future you can expect some changes so we can bring those costs down.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your amazing support over the years. Without you, there's no way us little guys could have made something like this happen and given the "big guys" a run for their money. PassPorter was consistently the #3 guidebook after the Unofficial and Official guides, which was really unheard of for such a small company to do. We ROCKED it thanks to you and your support and love!
If you miss us, you can still find some of us online. Sara started a new blog at DisneyParkPrincess.com -- I strongly urge you to visit and get on her mailing list. She IS the Disney park princess and knows Disney backward and forward. And I am blogging as well at JenniferMaker.com, which is a little craft blog I started a couple of years ago to make ends meet. You can see and hear me in my craft show at https://www.youtube.com/c/jennifermaker . Many PassPorter readers and fans are on Facebook, in groups they formed like the PassPorter Trip Reports and PassPorter Crafting Challenge (if you join, just let them know you read about it in the newsletter). And some of our most devoted community members started a forum of their own at Pixie Dust Lane and all are invited over.
So we encourage you to stay in touch with us and your fellow community members wherever works best for you!
Best wishes for a wonderful and magical new year!

Looking For Lyrics
I am sure someone out in Passporter land can help with this. [img]graemlins/wavin.gif[/img]
Ever since our trip last month, every so often one of us will launch into the opening theme song to Hoop De Doo Revue. "Hoop De Doo, Hoop De Doo" da da da da da. Its driving us nuts [img]graemlins/dizzy.gif[/img] that we can't remember those wacky lyrics.
Anybody out there tape it or otherwise knows the song?

Re: Looking For Lyrics
Did you google it? You'd be surprised how much info you can get. I pulled up a bunch of stuff, but I've never seen the show so I'm not sure if those are the right lyrics or not. Hopefully someone else will come along to help [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Looking For Lyrics
Yes I "googled". All I got were Perry Como's lyrics. They didn't look like what we heard at the show.
The performers come running in and after some introductions break into this song. Its a catchy tune. I am humming it right now. Can you hear it? [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Looking For Lyrics
I love that song, and I couldn't remember the lyrics either. So I did exactly what I'd do if I were at WDW - I asked WDW themselves (by emailing Guest Services). And here's what they sent back. Enjoy, everyone! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
Dear Melissa,
Thank you for contacting WALT DISNEY WORLD!
We are happy to provide the lyrics to the song "Hoop Dee Doo", as requested:
HOOP DEE DOO
Hoop dee doo, hoop dee doo

Hoop dee doo, hoop dee doo
We hope that we can make you smile.
We got trouble on the run.
Come and join us in the fun.
Hoop Dee Doin' it in style
We've Got a Fiddle in the Middle
And it really is a riddle how he plays the tune so sweet.
Plays the tune so sweet it makes ya cry!
Whistle stomp and yell.
We're gonna stay a spell cause we're hoop dee doin' in tonight.
Hoop dee doo, hoop dee doo.

Hoop dee doo, hoop dee doo.
We'll entertain you 'til the ev'nin' is through
Hoop dee doo, hoop dee doo.
We Hope that we can make you smile
Sorry that you had to wait
but you see the coach was late
Thru the rain or sleet or snow
We'll get here to do our show.
We're so glad that you could come
Nothing's gonna stop us from
Hoop dee doin' it
Hoop dee doin' it
Hoop dee doin' it tonight.
Ya Hoo Hoop Dee Doo

Re: Looking For Lyrics
Good thinking! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] I never thought of asking the source. [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img] Thanks. Now we can memorize it for our December trip and sing along! [img]graemlins/love.gif[/img]
