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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Re: Amzing Race Finally Predictions
For some reason - I don't know why - I think the Bowling Mom's are gonna win this thing...
I agree that Colin and Christie will be eliminated. I don't think they have the personality (or the very populated location) to beg for money and pull off the comeback. They don't handle being in last place very well, and will most likely self-destruct.

Re: Amzing Race Finally Predictions
With Colin's anxiety issues, begging for money will be difficult, I would think. But, that being said, I think the Mom's will be out first hour, with Chip & Kim coming in first.
As for the over all winner, I say Chip & Kim, with Colin & Christie second, and Brandon & Nicole straggling in last.

 I am horrible at making these predictions. Every time I do, it's not at all what I thought

Re: Amzing Race Finally Predictions
I think/hope Chip & Kim (  ) win a very tight race with the Bowling Moms in 2nd place followed by Colin & Christy. From the teaser, I think Brandon & Nicole will be eliminated after the 1st hour. Enjoy the show! D |

Re: Amzing Race Finally Predictions
I agree with the rest of you -- I'll be happy as long as C&C don't win. He is just a big ol' brat.
I'd love to see Chip & Kim win, but I have a gut feeling it'll be the Bowling Moms. (When Chip came down from the ladder last week and said, "If the Moms can do that, they'll win the race," I couldn't help but think that maybe they actually will!)
Can't wait to see it tonight!

Re: Amzing Race Finally Predictions
I'm so excited for tonight!! Of course, I hope Chip and Kim win!!!! But I wouldn't be disappointed if the Bowling Moms won. I think Brandon and Nicole are boring, so hope they don't win and of course would love to see C&C eliminted quickly!!!

Re: Amzing Race Finally Predictions
I got my AR Race Report email this AM. It says that tonight one person has an emotional breakdown. Hmmmmm, I wonder who that could be??????  Actually, it could either be Colin or Nicole. She's not the most emotionally stable person, either.
On to the predictions; hopefully, I won't jinx anyone as I'm usually wrong .
Eliminated at the end of the first hour: Brandon and Nicole, but I would be very happy if it was Colin and Christie
Last on the final leg: Bowling Moms (although I hope, hope, hope I'm wrong on this one!)
First, and the winner!!! : Chip and Kim |

Re: Amzing Race Finally Predictions
I'm gonna guess Nicole and Brandon, since they appear to be the underdogs! |
