The Disney Remix (Better Known as the Disney Kiss Perfected) A PreTR - UPDATED 9/20 - Page 2 - PassPorter - A Community of Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, and General Travel Forums
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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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!

Cathy, your plans look great and your ADRs are choices. We haven't eaten at LTT since there are no characters, but we all three love the food here, kind of a Thanksgiving dinner. The last time we ate we had a nice table near a window looking out on Liberty Square. Hope you enjoy it!

Can't wait to hear some more about these special surprises you have in store!! So far everything sounds great, Looking forward to reading Cory's TR too!! LouigiAnne
Great pre-trip report so far! I can't believe how much older your girls look. I always loved that picture of them as princesses !
Can't wait to hear more!
I know - it's amazing how much kids can change in just a few short years. Sometimes I'd give anything to have my little Princesses back for a bit! I miss them running around in their costumes all day.
Great start and isn't it nice to have another planner in the family? I have to do it all myself - nobody ever wants to help. Somedays I feel like I should be the Little Red Hen (anyone remember that story) and say "I planned such and such by myself so I'll enjoy it by myself."
Thanks - it is great to have another person who understands the planning process. I'd love to let Cory loose and see what she'd come up with for us on her own!
I am so excited that you've started your Pre-TR, Cathy! And I your description of your first visit to WDW as a first kiss! It's perfect! I am so glad you all are going to make it this year.

Me too!!! I couldn't let my girls down this year. At least I know for certain how much they truly love Disney now - and how much it means to them to be there.
Your plans sound great, glad you are getting some extra time in there and I love the idea of O'Hana as a way to end the trip (we love breakfast there).
Can you guess who on the PPer boards convinced me to try Ohana for breakfast?
Cathy, your plans sound great. We aren't going to make it to Fantasmic either. It is such a great show. Hopefully you'll get there one day. Could your 9/15 surprise be MNSSHP? We will be going that night. It will be a first for us that we are totally looking forward to. Great start!

Actually, I think she may have started on her own 'pretrip report' - I've seen her typing away on her computer lately...
Great start. Your ADR's look wonderful as do your plans.
My oldest DD9 sounds alot like your DD9 Cory. If I set her up her own account on PPer she would be doing her own report too. She loves to hang with me and read TR too. She has helped me plan our trip in Sept as well. I am a week behind you, we arrive the 19th.

Cory is always wishing there was a kids' version of the PassPorter boards.
