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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

A Binding Question for Scrapbookers
What kind of binder do you use?
What is the size of the pages you use?
Why do you like it?
We use the Post bound binders with page protectors, we also like the 12 X 12 pages. We have found out you can put more on them and make them look better.

Re: A Binding Question for Scrapbookers
What kind of binder do you use? post bound
What is the size of the pages you use? I switched from 8.5x11 to 12x12 several months ago and love it! Except for special smaller albums, I will never go back! It is much easier to get more photos on the page.

Re: A Binding Question for Scrapbookers
What type of binding do you use? I use post bound by Dalee and strap hinge by Creative Memories
What is the size of the pages you use? I do 12x12 pages, except for my Grandmother books which are 8x8 by CM
Why do you like it? I love 12x12 because you have a great choice of papers and don't have to trim border stickers to much, not to mention lots of stuff fit on the page. I use 8x8, because it saves a small fortune on doubles and I can use up lots of leftover supplies.

Re: A Binding Question for Scrapbookers
Hey ladies! As for binding, I prefer post bound, it's just easier for me to add pages. Size changes for me; individual kid albums I do 8 1/2 x 11, but everything else, vacations, holidays, family in general, I do 12 x 12. As to why, I'd have to agree with you all. I can fit more on the bigger albums' pages, which has more people, etc. When I do the kids' albums, there's usually just them, and maybe a little bit of something else.

Re: A Binding Question for Scrapbookers
I also use the post bound with page protectors. And for me is the 12x12 size. I love it because it gives me more room to play with in creating layouts and using pictures. The 8.5x11 was too limiting for me. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: A Binding Question for Scrapbookers
I still use the 8.5 x 11 because thats what I started with. Originally, I wanted to get caught up before I switch to 12x12 - but I can see that's never going to happen! Maybe I shoud just start now with 12x12 and go back and do rest in smaller size. (I still have tons of 8 1/2 x 11 papers stashed away. Also, I have most of their birthdays already done but nothing in between, so it would look funny to switch sizes in the middle of all that!)
I don't know where to start with the 12x12 though. Now, I use page protectors and I really like that. The kids can look through my albums any time they want and I don't have to worry about fingerronts on the photos.
Can anyone tell me more about the 12x12's that use page protectors? Can you buy them and the supplies at Michael's with the 40% off coupon? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: A Binding Question for Scrapbookers
I use CM strap hinge books. I mostly use the 12x12, but have made the 7x7, 8.5x11, and the 11x13 in the past. I also find that the 12x12 is the easiest to work with. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
