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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

to someone who is obviously VERY angry & upset with you? I have made someone I love VERY much very very angry with me over a mistrust issues.
DH has not been feeling well & has been very quiet & kinda down.. & last week I accused him of something (wrongly) & he has been mad at me ever since. I did apologize & tell him I was wrong but he's still mad & I'm getting the silent treatment most of the time & short responses when we do talk.
I feel very bad over this but can't TELL him as he's not talking to me.. I came into this marriage with a lot of baggage & have such low self-esteem & insecurity that led me to rush to judgement . I have tried to tell him this but he isn't listening at the moment.
any suggestions would be appreciated.. He is not the romantic type so a mushy note or something similar would get me a look like I grew a 3rd head..
I know he is worried about his health & so am I, so our house is VERY tense at the moment.. He had some blood work done last week & his liver enzymes are double what they should be so doctor ordered more tests & a liver scan & we are awaiting the results. So any pixies for him on that front would be GREATLY appreciated.
Would also appreciate pixies for US.. I hate this feeling when we're on the 'outs'
I am sorry that things are bad right now, I have been in your situation before and sometimes it does take some time before things get better, my husband and I have gone a few weeks being mad but we always manage to talk and work it out. I hope it gets better for you.
I'm the silent one in fights, not DH (who likes to talk and talk and talk) so no advice, just lots of
LOL, Me too. My wife...BLABS alot. Me; i like to be quiet.
Honestly, He will get over it. You apologized. Nothing more needs to be done.
You apologized and you are being nice, What more could he ask for in this situation.

Lots of over his liver, it's horrible waiting for health updates. Outside of that, I don't think it's fair that he's making you feel so awful for saying something out of your own hurt. Maybe you said was kinda out-there, but I can't imagine that it warranted a week-long silent treatment. Last fall DH and I had a big argument about his moods and how I was no longer going to be controlled by them, and I think he's finally realized how destructive his moody behavior can be and things have been a lot better. That's my experience, hope things get better in your house--living in tension is no way to live!

Not sure of any advice as I have been there too! My DH loves to give the silent treatment then most of the time I go back apologizing. Pixies that things get better and that his health gets better as well. (we're going through health issues here too)
