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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

spring cleaning
Do you have certain days that you do certain things, ie, mop floors on Friday, clean bathrooms on Wednesday, etc or do you just to it when it needs it?

Re: spring cleaning
I do it on whatever day I know that I have nothing else to do. There is usually one day a week where I have not committed myself in any way and that's the day I just casually go about cleaning.

Re: spring cleaning
I pick up some and try to wipe down the kitchen daily and then do the down and dirty cleaning every Saturday.

Re: spring cleaning
Due to working full time and being a full time mom and dad combination I have to be highly organized. Yes---we strip all beds on Friday morning and it is everyone's responsibility to get all the laundry done (ie. who ever has a moment home must check the washer and dryer). On Saturday and Tuesday I vaccum. The kitchen is cleaned on Thursday evening--this allows me to know what we have in the freezer/frig etc. before I make out menu's on Friday and grocery shop either Friday or Saturday depending upon schedules. I clean the bathrooms everyother day--and everyone is responsible for their own bedroom. We do at least 2 loads of laundry every day, more when needed. I get up extra early to have some time before school and it seems like I never find the bed until after 11 p.m. but part of that is due to the awful schedule of school, church, district activities, etc. A few times I year I declare deep clean day and everyone has to help. If I were rich I would have someone come in and clean my house once a week....it would be wonderful!!!  |

Re: spring cleaning
I do vacuum and mop every Saturday morning and my DH helps me. He is a sweetie! I try to dust and clean sheets on Thursdays. Then I do the bathrooms on Friday!

Re: spring cleaning
Nope I usually just do it when the mood strikes me or when it's obvious it needs to be done.

Re: spring cleaning
I do things whenever I get a chance. I tried doing a schedule but since my husband and I's days off can fluctuate it's hard to keep to that. Right now I'm starting a spring cleaning list. I figure if I break it down into small jobs it will be easier to get done.

Re: spring cleaning
Fridays I do all of my regular cleaning. Other days of the week I just do whatever crops up. Extra cleaning projects get shuffled in whenever.

Re: spring cleaning
Well I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who does it when it needs it. Like right now the dust on my china cabinet is gross. I always check out friends homes. My one friend has one kid and works her house always is clean and smells soooo good.  |
