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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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!

I do like donuts. My favorite is a Duncan Donuts vanilla cream filled. The last time I had a donut was probably Father's Day.....we bought some for "the dad's".

I love donuts but don't eat them often any more. My favorite is Krispy Kreme's raspberry filled, glazed donut. My 2nd favorite would be a cinnamon twist from Dunkin' Donuts.

Donuts are my favorite food! I could eat them every day. My favorite are from King Soopers, which is Kroger, and are fried cinnamon rolls with chocolate frosting. Actually any King Soopers donut will make me happy! I also like Dunkin Donuts and wish there were more in our area.

Now I think I need to go find a donut for lunch....

I love donuts, especially the classic glazed donut and a long john with chocolate frosting and peanut crumbles. As much as I love them, I don't allow myself to eat them often, so the last time was probably when we had a family yard sale in April. My DSiL picked up some for our breakfast.

I love donuts, but don't eat them often. My favorite is basically any kind from Sublime Donuts in Atlanta, but I rarely get those. My favorite local is the pumpkin donut from Dunkin Donuts. The last time I had a donut was about a month ago when I heard that DD's pumpkin donuts were out, so we made a trip over there. We have a Krispy Kreme right across the street from our neighborhood, but fortunately I am not a big fan of KK.

When we were at Epcot earlier this week, I noticed these HUGE frosted donuts near the American pavilion. They looked so good, but I was never hungry enough to get one whenever we were near by.

I like an occasional classic glazed donut, with Krispy Kreme, a favorite, but we don't have them up here. Because of health concerns, I seldom eat one and haven't had one since before I got sick in 2012. I did have a chocolate glazed munchkin when I was in the hospital in June 2013 courtesy of one of the nurses.

OMG, I donuts! My favorite is the Boston Cream from Dunkin Donuts, but sadly we don't have any DD in our area these days. I do like Krispy Kreme, but it's not so convenient for me, so I don't get them often...probably a good thing!

Yes, I like donuts. I try not to eat them too often, but It's hard to pass up a chocolate frosted donut from Dunkin Donuts.

I like donuts but really only eat them when on vacation at the beach. My favorite are Blueberry Hill donuts from Fractured Prune. Last time I had one was during our vacation this summer.
