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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Spy name...
I could have swore there was a thread on here about your spy name, but could only find the Ya-Ya name thread, so starting this one.
Has anyone checked out this website?
Austin Powers Spy Game
What's your spy name and profile? Here's mine...
Cindy "Dauntless" Seaburn
You have eluded capture, killed the assassin, reclaimed the family jewels and are now confronted with 100 armed men and no visible means of escape. Are you kidding? You live for these scenarios and always manage to escape.
Vital Gear
Includes a loyal sidekick to help you escape, crazy glue, and making sure the bad guys attack one at a time.
Yup, sounds like me...eluded capture - not hard for me to do, I'm a little person (as DH says). At 5'4" I can walk under small buildings in a single bound. [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]
Killed the assassin - ummmmm, sorry for my clumsy elbow going into your temple, there. [img]graemlins/ukid.gif[/img]
Reclaimed the family jewels - uh-huh...'dem diamonds sure are purty. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]
Confronted with 100 armed men - at least they have arms. Not sure what armless men would look like. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] |

Re: Spy name...
What a riot! I used my given name, Steven...
Steven "Danger"
You live life like it's your last day on earth. There isn't a challenge that you aren't up for and that ultimately attracts all the wrong and right kinds of attention. The opposite sex adores you, rivals respect you and the Evil ones wants to kill you.
Vital Gear
Includes a day job to provide a cover for your secret spy life and a swinging shag pad.
Actually, a lot of it is true! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Spy name...
Never one to shrink from calamity, you emerge from the crowd and place yourself in danger to protect others. It's never for the glory, you just happen to be in the right place at the right time and take charge of the situation.
Vital Gear
Includes everyday clothes, willingness to help others and survival skills

Re: Spy name...
I am Drew "Brave"
Fearless in the face of adversity, you are the first to try out that old rickety bridge suspended over a mile in the air over churning rapids. Snakes, spiders and booby traps are a walk in the park for you and you always come out on top.
Vital Gear
Includes a Swiss army knife, flashlight and a devil may care attitude.
With my givin name,
Andrew "Audacious"
People are always looking at you with awe and can't believe they just saw you do what you just did. You push the bounds of society's rules and you love the attention it gets you.
Vital Gear
Includes a loud tie, an open tab at the bar and a way with words.
I think the seccond one with my givin name sutes me more. But I like the sound of the first one.

Re: Spy name...
Robin "Thrilling"
There isn't a dare you won't take or a risk that you won't make to secure the prize. Much like a movie, your personal plots are always filled with thrills and decadence.
Vital Gear
Includes a cat suit for women, or a bomber jacket for men, complimented by a come hither glance

Re: Spy name...
"Alicia "Intrigue" Duncan
Social graces are your cup of tea and no one plays a better game of Risk. You are invited to all the upper echelon parties and know whose side to be on before all the votes are counted.
Vital Gear
Includes bribe money, an impressive gown or tuxedo and connections in the kitchen to get you out the back way. "
I do love Risk.. [img]graemlins/love.gif[/img]
But, with my DFiance's last name..
Alicia "Fearless" Gulliver
Drawn to extreme sports, adventure and any other type of death defying stunts, you are the first in line to try the latest thrill. Whether it's bungee jumping in New Zealand and snowboarding in the Alps, you are ready for anything!
Vital Gear
Includes a first-aid kit, Gatorade and multi-pocketed cargo pants.
The first one works better, but I like the second one as well. Maybe I'll just have to hyphenate my name when we get married! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
Alicia "Fearless-Intrigue" Duncan-Gulliver [img]graemlins/ukid.gif[/img]
(I switched around the spy names 'cause they sound better this way. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] )

Re: Spy name...
Here Is mine: Marcie "Valiant" Lacava
Slaying the dragon and rescuing the damsel in distress is what you are all about. All hail the age of chivalry! Never one without a stylish hat and elegant table manners, your fellow warriors call you a leader and a man among men.
Vital Gear
Includes a trusty stead, strong sword and the heart of a romantic.
I don't understand I'm A man among men?? [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] I'm a female and I tred it twice?? [img]graemlins/ukid.gif[/img]

Re: Spy name...
Here's Mine....
Denise "Daring" Lang
What is victory if the prize is too easy to obtain? You never think twice about taking the short, dangerous road and revel in the rush of pushing yourself to the limit. Extreme sports are for wimps, Russian roulette is more your style.
Vital Gear
Includes a ready packed parachute, a stick of chewing gum and a hot motorcycle.
This is great! Thanks for posting this. I love it! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Spy name...
Donna "Suave"
Most comfortable in a tuxedo or gorgeous gown, you float across the room never taking your eyes off the prize. Mesmerized, they realize only too late that their wallet is missing, and worse yet, so is their heart.
Vital Gear
Includes a killer smile, open tab at the local watering hole and a smooth ride to take home your winnings.
This is my cup of tea, Baby. I love it - I'm mesmerizing, a heart stealer with a killer smile. "Suave" is much groovier than Empress Dirty Bird!
