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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Ok time to be really annoying again (I swear I should send you chocolate or something. I live by the beach so if you like salt water taffy let me know!)
The mousekeeping envelopes. Can I have you make me the tinkerbell one with no background (it is green currently in your archives) and put Thank You Mousekeeping from the Marshall Family.
Thank you again you are so amazing.
Hi there, so sorry for the wait. Here is your request.
Hi I just found this board. I'm taking my husband for his first trip to disney world end of november 2011. my sister will go with us. this will be my sister and I fourth trip. I've talked my husband into coming with us this time. I want him to experience what it's like to be a kid again. so I want to make him some shirts. I want a christmas one. but I always would like to make him a couple of others. maybe something with Minnie on it. do you have any good ideas. His name is Manuel. thanks.
Hi there did you want this design for just one name or were there others? Also if you look through my 4shared site there are hundreds of designs to choose from. The link is in my signature.
I checked out your design file and love your stuff. I have two little soon-to-be Disney cruisers who would love for you to make a Character fill with their names:

Just the name would be great! Bowen (my four year old) is super excited about you doing this for him. We found his cousin's name (who's also going on the cruise with us), but he was disappointed that we couldn't find his, so I told him we'd ask you to make him and his brother one!
Thanks again for doing this! You're awesome! I also downloaded some of your blank graphics to use in our photobook when we get back (I digital scrapbook) ! I'll be sure to share pics with you when I get it finished.
Hi Linda,
I even looked for this one in your files, and didn't see it! Where could I see what you have done with it in the past? You are so much more creative than I am! A border might be nice... but I am thinking that I want to keep it in a square/rectangle instead of a mickey bubble. Thanks for your help with this!
How about something like this.? Oh and it wasn't in my files. I've kept it in the archives of my designs files on my computer. This is the first time I've used it.

Linda, that looks great!! Do you think the writing could be a little darker though? Or maybe outlined? What do you think?
Ok funny thing my sister just pointed out to me. I totally forgot my DH is the design you did for me with the mickey shapes with the different characters. (The one I just so kindly asked you to fix so that the Dixie Cinderella one had the crown). So in an attempt to somehow not vote my DH out of our Christmas trip could I bother you to add one more mickey head? His would be a donald duck theme one with the name Richard.
Thank you so much! I do not think I would have lived it down if I made up 6 shirts and he was left out! Lol

I wanted three of them. one with Manuel, one with Teresa & one with Carol and thanks alot I will look through your file. I appreciate it very much.
Hello Linda,
I would like to add a few more designs to my post #506.
1. candy bar wrapper with bubble background and Cruise Alaska Micky ears with June 2011.
2. character name fill for my dd, and their cousins plus me
Joseph with cars
Katelynn with princess
Lorelei with Pooh and friends
Emily with Lion King
Ashley with Oliver & Co. (if you have it) or Lady and the Tramp or Lion King
Dena with Mickey and friends
Thanks so much for taking time from your life to spread a little Disney magic around
Dena
Hi we just got back from our cruise and had a wonderful time. Now it's time to scrapbook all the pictures but finding digital images to use is almost impossible. Would you be willing to post just some of the basic cruise clip art for me and then something with the Disney Wonder (words only). I really want the blue waves with Mickey head in them (do you know which one I'm talking about?)
I can not wait to see the shirts. This is going to be our first family vacation. I am suprising everyone with the shirts. Thank you for sharing the magic!!
