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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Shadowryter ~ Your designs are absolutely amazing! We are leaving next Friday, technically less than one week!!! I am going to try to make us all new shirts, but if not, I'll at least have them for the scrapbook when we get home :-)

Thank you so much for offering this wonderful service!!!
Can you please send me the MH and MH2 designs without any names. We are leaving this week on our vacation and the kids want one to match ours but without a name! Thanks SOOO much!
You are extremely talented. We are planning our first Disney Cruise for September. We will be on the Disney Magic. Could you do 2 different designs for me.
I like the one that shows the ship coming out of the Mickey head, but can you do it for Magic, not Dream. Could you put:
Girls only Cruise in the left ear,
September 24, 2011 in the right ear
The second design I would love is the
“ Do you believe” design that looks like stars making mickey ears, with the boat in the mickey head silhouette.
Below the picture I would like:
*The Shuttleworth Family*
* Disney Magic*
*Cruising the Eastern Caribbean*
*September 2011*

Wow Shadowryter, your designs are really cool! We are taking friends on their very first cruise ever, the Magic Western Caribbean. They've never seen any door magnets at all so we'd love to surprise them with some of you designs and I have a challenge for you! Her favorite character is Ariel so your Ariel bubble is perfect, but HIS favorite character is Jimmny Cricket - and I've never seen anything with him on it, so that's your challenge. His name is John. I think that is pretty difficult, so no problem if you can't find any Jimmny's out there. We sail in a few weeks, so here are my other requests:
Ariel bubble with MaryKaye on it
4 Cruise Name Tags, Annette, Tim, John, MaryKaye
A CC Breezin to the Bahamas with Magic Feb 5-12, 2011 on it
Minnie MH with Annette
Mickey MH with Tim (this is the mickey suit one with the two white buttons, right?) couldn't find it on your 4share files but saw it in another post and just how cute is THAT!?!
Thanks again for sharing your time and efforts of your artwork on Passporter, and I'm so GLAD you are, I've tried reading the design thread over at the Disboards but it's a little intimidating, to say the least! Annette in WI

Ameneiro Family Reunion 2011.jpg (Ok so I know this says family reunion but I was wondering if I could get the border to say Evan and Megan over and over with the little ~ in between the names like you have on the family reunion one. And in the center can I get it to say Cruisin’ Divas (Centered in the middle). ***I was also wondering instead of getting a black Mickey Head in the center I was wondering if I could get Cruise Ship and Balloons Barb & Tony.jpg but instead of the names Barb and Tony could I get Cruisin’ Divas (in the same color I think its in navy blue) in the same spot (I don’t want the added words/writing that’s on the bottom can you please leave blank?) If you can do this can you please use the same font and color on the border as well!!
Can you please send me the MH and MH2 designs without any names. We are leaving this week on our vacation and the kids want one to match ours but without a name! Thanks SOOO much!
