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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

For the first time in 10 years...

I ordered pizza delivery! I discovered that the "best pizza in the midwest" actually delivers to our house...I had no idea!

Do you order pizza delivery? How often? and...is it good?

Re: For the first time in 10 years...

We usually order pizza on Friday nights and it's ok, it's not as good as the pizza I used to get in the neighborhood where I grew up but that is too far away to get very often.

Re: For the first time in 10 years...

Stacey-- Did you get Pizza Villa???? It was the best!!!

We also get pizza every Friday night. It took us a few years after moving out of Philly to find something good, but we finally did, and I have to say it is great. Everyone that comes over loves it. It's really really good, doesn't taste like its from the suburbs. Not as good as the Pizza we got growing up, but it's pretty close.

No I usually pick it up. The best pizza here doesn't deliver. The best Chinese food does though but I still pick-up. I feel so sorry for the wife as she does all the deliveries herself.

Re: For the first time in 10 years...

Nothing and I mean nothing in our town delivers! I live 1.4 mile from the center of town so I have to drive to pick it up when i would so rather them deliver!

We ordered Pizza tonight and had to go get it...its not that good...I love the Pizza that a restaurant had in town but it closed and sigh that pizza is gone forever!

Unless i move to Greece then Zizi will make it for me!

We usually order pizza on Monday nights because my son has his football games that day and I dont have time to cook. We usually get Domino's or Papa John's Pizza, it is so good ! [img]http://smileys.*************.com/cat/29/29_5_14.gif[/img]

We have Papa John's deliver every so often, but more often than not, if we're going to have pizza, we go to Little Caesar's and pick up a $5 special with 2 orders of $2 Crazy Bread and sauce!!!

Re: For the first time in 10 years...

We must have at least a dozen pizza parlors within a five mile radius (including two Papa Gino's). I pick it up unless we're under-the-weather or the roads are bad due to weather conditions.

Re: For the first time in 10 years...

We have about 6 pizza places within a mile of where we live. We order pizza about once a month. It's usually pizza hut. The best is from a local Italian place called Longo's but they take forever to deliver, so we pick it up when we have theirs.

It depends on if I am busy or not but I am with Sarah on the Little Ceasars, all of them closed around here except for one in Kmart, you can't beat those $5 pizzas.
