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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Attention all ROTU and MARAAMU members!
Okay, I'm among the living once again! Are you all ready to rock! Tomorrow night is the night we begin our Passporter Survivor Marquesas Challenge! To remind everyone who is who see below:
Dadtojbj = John, Rotu Tribe
Joe Carioca = Peter, Maraamu Tribe
LilMarcieMouse = Paschal, Rotu Tribe
SMG = Vecepia, Maraamu Tribe
DebiDebiDebi = Patricia, Maraaum Tribe
AngelaVa = Tammy, Rotu Tribe
Belle* = Sarah, Maraamu Tribe
Heidi = Gabriel, Rotu Tribe
aurora1429 = Kathy, Rotu Tribe
Janet44 = Zoe, Rotu Tribe
Beth L. = Neleh, Rotu Tribe
momketeer = Sean, Maraamu Tribe
DisneyNutMary = Hunter, Maraamu Tribe
Beaner = Gina, Maraamu Tribe
Figment1 = Rob, Maraamu Tribe
allysonh = Robert, Rotu Tribe
Who is going to be the first to go?!? Internet buzz is Peter (sorry Brant, after all the trouble it took to get you here!). What are your thoughts? ARE YOU READY TO PLAY? Do we have any West Coasters on the team? We want to be sensitive about postings here on the east coast since we have a time difference! WHOO!

Re: Attention all ROTU and MARAAMU members!
Glad to see you back among the living, Steve [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
I'm ready to play.
I am going to go against the grain here and say Patricia will be voted off. I couldn't remember who got voted off first in Survivor I but it was a woman in II and III. So I'm hoping history will repeat itself.

Re: Attention all ROTU and MARAAMU members!
I agree with Kristen. Patricia is the oldest female and they seem to go first. Paschal is the oldest male so if it's the Rotu team it might be him.

Re: Attention all ROTU and MARAAMU members!

Re: Attention all ROTU and MARAAMU members!
Hehe, how the heck can anyone know (even the crazed netties who spend all their time digging for inside secrets) who might go first before it starts [img]graemlins/puter.gif[/img] ? My prediction, Peter has a 1/16 chance of getting the boot. Actually he has more like 0/16 because we will win the Immunity challenge of course.

Re: Attention all ROTU and MARAAMU members!
I didn't make this 'pool' in time but I'll be rooting for Heidi to win. Gabriel is who I have in our pool at work. $80 always comes in handy. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
I'm thinking Patricia will be the first to go.

Re: Attention all ROTU and MARAAMU members!
Well, since I am Patricia, I am hurt and saddened by your predictions! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
I believe it could be Robert...sorry Allyson, but he strikes me as someone who gets on ones nerves... [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
We have an $80.00 (5 bucks each) game going too, and I am Hunter in that game...so, I will be watching Patricia and Hunter with much interest!

Re: Attention all ROTU and MARAAMU members!
Being the selfish little bugger that I am, I don't care who it is as long as it's not Neleh. [img]graemlins/ukid.gif[/img] Only 14 hours to go. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Attention all ROTU and MARAAMU members!
As I am generally clueless in this thing, I'll have to consult my 8 year old daughter. She is usually right on the money with these games! Ha ha! Don't know how she does it, she just does!
I'll letcha know what she thinks!
