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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

All I have to do is dream...
Is there one food, beverage or medicine that gives you odd dreams?
I am still nursing my horrible head cold & the only thing that helps me sleep at night without pain & sutffiness is NyQuil. BUT... one side effect (for me) is DREAMS... In the past 3 days I've had a gambut of horrible nightmares to really bizarre vivid "adult' dreams. Every time I take NyQuil this happens but it's the only thing that works..
A food that really does it to me is spicy peanut chicken if I eat it late at night.. look out DH is hearing the dream stories the next morning.. [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

Re: All I have to do is dream...
Gosh, you know I have never even thought about it that way.. when I take cold meds I usually sleep so hard I don't remember a thing or if I dreamt at all..
Hope you have a speedy recovery from your cold!

Re: All I have to do is dream...
Thanks Maureen for the get well wishes.. It's been a week & this cold is still lingering on. Last night I vowed it would be my last NyQuil night & this morning I REALLY want to stick to that vow..
My odd dream last night was I was in WDW ( okay, that was good) with my MIL (still good) but as I was in DD shopping my EX-husband was there (ICK, getting bad) & they were eating dinner at the same place we did.. (VERY bad) he kept coming over to our table & talking to us & my 'feeling' in the dream was that he was ruing my 'happy place' (WDW) HOW DARE HE COME HERE!!!????
too funny..no more NyQuil for me!

Re: All I have to do is dream...
Mom checking in. Do you think you should visit the doctor? Maybe it's more than a cold. Could be a sinus infection.
Mom hat off. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Pixie dust for a speedy recovery.

Re: All I have to do is dream...
{ Kid talking here } AW Mom, get off my back!! I'm fine!!!! [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] (don't I sound just like a kid??) JUST KIDDING, BTW
Okay.. back to Ann... Kidding aside, thanks so much for the concern but yep, it's a plain old nasty head cold.. my good friend is a nurse practitioner(or almost-Dr as I call her) & did a complete check up.. just a cold that is lingering probably due to my working with 300 little elementary kids who keep sharing their germs.. [img]graemlins/achoo.gif[/img]
Wait until flu season!! AARGH.. 2 years ago I think I had a stomach bug EVERY month. I dread January as that's when it seems to hit the hardest.
Actually this AM I feel much better so no more NyQuil for me.. I must have low-tolerance in my system as I am a one drink & tipsy drinker, & usually cut any dose of OTC meds in half or I'll be zonked out.
Thanks again for the concern & being Mom!!! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: All I have to do is dream...
Sorry about the cold. I hope it gets better real soon. I always have weird dreams when I eat onions but other wise nothing affects my sleep. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
