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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Monkey bread -- HELP!
Please help. I've misplaced my monkey bread recipe, haven't made it in a couple of years, and cannot recall all the ingredients.
Does anyone out there have this recipe and is willing to share? It's the one where you quarter the biscuits and layer...
Thanks in advance.
Debbi

Re: Monkey bread -- HELP!
Monkey Bread
Ingredients
3 (12 ounce) packages refrigerated biscuit dough
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup margarine
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
1/2 cup raisins
Directions
1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9 or 10 inch tube pan.
2 Mix white sugar and cinnamon in a plastic bag. Cut biscuits into quarters. Shake 6 to 8 biscuit pieces in the sugar cinnamon mix. Arrange pieces in the bottom of the prepared pan. Continue until all biscuits are coated and placed in pan. If using nuts and raisins, arrange them in and among the biscuit pieces as you go along.
3 In a small saucepan, melt the margarine with the brown sugar over medium heat. Boil for 1 minute. Pour over the biscuits.
4 Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 minutes. Let bread cool in pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a plate. Do not cut! The bread just pulls apart

Re: Monkey bread -- HELP!
Boy does this sound good! Me thinks I will copy this recipe down, too. It could be the perfect treat for Christmas morning. [img]graemlins/yuma.gif[/img]

Re: Monkey bread -- HELP!
I LOVE Monkey Bread!!!! Its one of my Christmas memories. We lived overseas most of the time I was growing up. When we came back to the states for Christmas, my Gram would always make Monkey Bread for me. Thanks for the recipe. I may have to try this when we get back from WDW.

Re: Monkey bread -- HELP!
Funny, I found the recipe I posted but never made it before. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] In fact, I don't think I ever tasted Monkey Bread but I'm going to make it this year for sure! It does sound good [img]graemlins/yuma.gif[/img] My kids laugh when I tell them I'm making Monkey bread for my Monkeys soon [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Monkey bread -- HELP!
It's been years since I've made Monkey bread and I'm going to use your recipe in the morning. Can't wait! I'll have to make one change though... we never put raisins in ours.
I can only eat raisons straight from the box. Put them in a cookie or cake and YUCK! Weird, huh?
Anyway, thanks again for your help.
Debbi

<font size="2" face="Comic Sans MS, Arial">Actually, I sprinkle chopped pecans over the top prior to baking rather than mix in throughout the biscuits. I like it much better this way.
I keep pecans in my freezer year-round just for these types of baking emergencies! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
Let me know if you make some and we'll compare notes to see how they came out!

Re: Monkey bread -- HELP!
Angels, did you try out the Monkey bread recipe this weekend?
I made it Saturday morning and DS and I ate it while DH was out of town, then DH and I had leftovers for breakfast yesterday, and there's still enough left for all three of us to eat until stuffed!
It was mighty delicious! [img]graemlins/yuma.gif[/img]

Re: Monkey bread -- HELP!
I was part of a family bake-off this past weekend and actually tried this for the first time. It's really good. Good idea for Christmas morning Michelle!
