Mickey Mom's Club welcome kit came! - Page 3 - PassPorter - A Community of Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, and General Travel Forums
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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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!

I can't wait to get mine. I leave for WDW and the PC Cruise 3 weeks from today! I've been debating about getting photopass for this trip. Can I ask how much the discount is?
The discount is for 25% off the photopass prints. It doesn't say if it will work for the CD too. The code of this discount is MICKEYMOMS25

All I did was sign up to try and be a Disney Mom Panelist and now I get all this cool stuff. My niece is still holding my Stitch pin hostage so I look forward to giving her the other Tink Pin since she is obsessed with her. I am using the mousepad now.
Did we all get the same picture of Mickey and the Gang on the front cover???
I got mine too!! As some of you know, my mom-in-law is joining us for free dining in Disney. She is visiting this week. This could not have been better timed!!
This is a great thank-you for trying to sign-up!!

Beware of car washes--so sad my WDW magnet with the whole gang got blasted off into oblivion so I am going to hang my moms panel inside the car. Still figuring out how to do it.
I got my Moms Club kit in the mail today!!!! I was so excited. The mouse pad will go to work with me. The Tink pins...well I have 3 grandsons, gotta find another one somehwere!!!! We're all Mouse fans. I'll be at the World in 2 weeks!!!! YEA!!
Got mine today! I was so excited to open it when I got home. My magnet is on the fridge too
I'm a little sad that the photopass coupon expires before my next trip Either way, getting the kit made me feel very special!

I got mine today too! The magnet is on my fridge, I don't know if it will make it to my van. I always lose the magnets at the carwash so it will probably stay on the fridge. I use a laptop so I don't know what to do with the mousepad. I am sure I will think of something! But the pins.... I Disney pins!!
My coupon expires too during my stay. Do you have to check out of your room to get the Photopass done or can you do it during your stay. It expires 1 day before we leave and check out. Maybe the mousepad could be used like a giant coaster of course my kids will prob use it as a frisbee
Got mine today!!! My magnet is going on my filing cabinet in my office!! I have an open side away from the door. I was so excited and the trading pins are sooo COOL!!
I got one today too (and I had no idea about it). I feel SO special!
I'm excited to be able to share this excitement with Passporters, who truly understand how cool this is! I think I'll just carry it around with me for a few days and wait for someone (anyone!) to ask 'what is that?'!!!!
