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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

I just found out abouit this package from another site. I was wondering if anyone know if this package still exists.? If it does how do you get it? And if any past brides or anyone has ever book this package?. I would wheter have this package than the one that is offered with Disney travel. Any help will be greatly appreciated it. The information I found about the package is the following :
Disney's Honeymoon Escape offers you: Accommodations for three to fourteen nights at a selected Walt Disney World® Resort
Ultimate Park Hopper Ticket (one per person)
Special Services:
Pre-arrival honeymoon itinerary planning - a Disney Honeymoon Specialist will contact you at home 30-45 days prior to your arrival to help make your honeymoon dreams come true. Disney's Romantic Choice Features (one per package from the list below)
<LI class=blacksi>Dinner at a selected fine dining specialty restaurant including a bottle of wine or champagne from the manager's reserve list (one bottle per package) <LI class=blacksi>Couples-only Romantic Spa Treatment (selected treatments)
Professional Honeymoon Photography Session at the Disney Theme Park of your choice (includes 20 4X6 photographs presented in a deluxe album)
Disney's Fairy Tale Honeymoons Tote bag filled with special treats (one per package) Commemorative Disney Resort ID card holder with Disney's Fairy Tale Honeymoons Pin (two per package)
Use of the Walt Disney World® Transportation System (monorail, ferryboat and motor coaches)
DH and I went to WDW for our honeymoon four years ago and I don't remember getting that. We booked with a TA. How cool!!! I am curious to hear if anyone knows of how to get this package. GOod luck
In the DFTW brochure thas package is no longer listed. They have the regular Magic Your Way package, the MYW package plus Dining, and a Disney Cruise Line Romantic Escape at sea package.
Do mention it's your honeymoon when you make your reservations, you may be surprised with something on your arrival. 10 years ago, my DH and I received a balloon, a bottle of sparkling cider and a congrats card from the WL. My SIL was just married at WDW in May and they received a congrats card signed by Minnie & Mickey. It's not guaranteed that one will receive something, but if one does, it's a nice surprise.
You could always send your special one a gift basket from the Disney Florist or one of the other sites that offer services like that. It will cost extra, but you can cater to that person's likes & dislikes for gifts/flowers. Depending on how you booked your package, I know some TA's will offer up a gift for wedding/honeymoon couples.
Best wishes for a magical honeymoon!!

Doh! I equate honeymoons with weddings. It was sooo long ago and we didn't have much of a honeymoon...
I think Disney has been trying for the whole package and not just the honeymoon part, that's why they changed things.
