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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Shadowryter,
Just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to you for all of your hard work and creativity! Our shirts turned out fantastic and I am sure that my fellow cruisers will love them! We are sailing in two days and I can't wait! I am sure this will not be the experience it will be without all of you here on this board! So, thank you to you for your free designs and a big thank you to everyone else who gives advice, suggestions, feedback and makes all of our Disney vacations extra Magical! Jennifer
Hi, again! I have another couple of requests if that is possible. You have WAY too much cute stuff in your 4Shared file. I get in there and I can't stop myself from making more requests!
In your Bubble Designs file ,from the Character II folder, could I request the following bubbles?
1. On page 3, the Goofy bubble with the name Jimmy
2. On page 4, the Lion King bubble with the name ae
3. On page 5, is there any way that I could get the Minnie bubble with bow in blue with the name Peggy?
Thanks bunches in advance for sharing your amazing talent with us and doing these!
Or...if you're the creative type you can cruise on over to my 4shared file where I have hundreds of Disney designs and many cruise designs that I can personalize for you and all you have to do is copy, print and make your own t-shirts.
Hi! I just found this thread and was checking out your 4shared website. You do amazing work So much better than I have found to purchase from other sites in iron on transfers! I love the pirates in the caribbean black mickey ears with the red skull pirate hat and red circle around it. Our cruise is Dec 14, 2013 on Disney fantasy. Are you able to alter this to say 2013? I also like the yo ho disney cruise one but it too says 2011. Can this say 2013 The Hopkins Family?
Also I am not sure what you mean by printing it? Do I purchase this design from you printed or is there special ink that would allow me to print it as an iron tee shirt transfer?
Thanks for your time!
Alisha

Aren't her designs great?!!?! To print out your design, you don't need special ink, but you will need special transfer paper. You can find it anywhere printer paper is sold, like Walmart, Target, Staples, etc. There are two kinds of transfer paper, light and dark, the kind you will need depends on the color shirt you want to use.
I have navy blue t-shirts that I would like to print some designs on. Do you have any recommendations on which ones would look good on a dark shirt? There are 9 of us cruising in March. I liked the one that had the names creating the Mickey head outline, but not sure it would show up on the navy blue. Are you able to reverse the colors so the outline names are in white? Does that work when you print? TIA
These are great, have you updated them to 2012 yet? (Just Answered that question by going back to your site I was also wondering about possibly requesting names for the nametag downloads. Would you be up for that?
