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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Re: Looby\'s SQOTD 10/6/04
The inside of mine's not too bad could do with a hoover out though.

Re: Looby\'s SQOTD 10/6/04
I was just noticing yesterday how mine is in desperate need of a vacuuming. Other than that, pretty darn neat. DH is obsessive about keeping his car clean, and every once in a while cleans out the Mommy-mobile too (my minivan).  |

Re: Looby\'s SQOTD 10/6/04
Mine is pretty cluttered. The cargo space, isn't too bad. Just a stroller and a box with random stuff in it and maybe an extra sweater or jacket for me. The backseat has at least one teddy bear, a couple of blankets, some toys, snacks, sweaters, etc. The front passenger seat is pretty cluttered too with a bottle of water, DD's daily reports from daycare, more snacks for DD and some crackers for me and DD's diaper bag too. I really hate having my car cluttered like this, so I'll have to do something about it pretty soon.

Re: Looby\'s SQOTD 10/6/04
My van is clean, as far as any trash goes. However, with harvest in full swing, even with the windows up, the inside(and outside) is very very dusty. No reason to do any work on it right now until harvest is over.

Re: Looby\'s SQOTD 10/6/04
Mine's not too bad--the back seat and floorboard back there are totally clean, but on the floorboard of my passenger side there's my work purse, 2 jackets, and my backpack, so it's a little messy there but it's still okay.  |

Re: Looby\'s SQOTD 10/6/04
It needs to be cleaned...not a lot lying around but a lot of dry grass, etc. on the carpet.

Re: Looby\'s SQOTD 10/6/04
Anybody got a shovel? 
My car is almost always very messy, I kind of live out of it! Once I cleaned it and it was broken into the next day. Coincidence? I don't know.
I plan to clean it out in between the really hot weather and the cold weather, so I should do it pretty soon! |

Re: Looby\'s SQOTD 10/6/04
Ours is not to bad. It does have a bit of dirt/mud from DH and DS's as they have started back at football(soccer). DD has a few of her toys lying around, and in the boot(trunk) I have DD's pushchair(stroller).

Re: Looby\'s SQOTD 10/6/04
Well, it looks bad, but I've seen WAYYYYYY worse. I was just telling my daughter, now that it's cooling down with Fall, we need to go and scrub it inside and out!!

I am a complete neat freak, my car is quite clean. I just vacumed it yesterday as a matter of fact. |

Re: Looby\'s SQOTD 10/6/04
Pretty clean, I've a few leaves and the sun shade but that's about it. Still need to get it detailed, though!

Re: Looby\'s SQOTD 10/6/04
At this very moment, mine is pretty bad. But we're going to the beach tomorrow, so I'll be cleaning it out today so we can load it tonight.

Re: Looby\'s SQOTD 10/6/04
I just dusted the dashboard yesterday, but it needs a vacuuming and the windows need to be Windexed! There are a few miscellaneous items of the kids around (a hat, some books, etc.). Not as clean as I would like it, but not too bad.

Re: Looby\'s SQOTD 10/6/04
The front seats are OK. The back seat looks like a sporting good store. Soccer ball, basketball and lacrosse sticks. DD is afraid to take them out of the car or she'll forget to bring them to practice.  |
