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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Bees....I don\'t like them...apparently they don\'t like me
On Monday afternoon, I was taking my Ana for a walk and for the first time in my 33 years (as far as I know), I was stung by a bee. I have allergies to the normal pollen, mold, dust, etc but never thought I was allergic to bees.
Well, I am. I started geting hives and had trouble breathing.  After a quick trip to the immediate care center and one shot later, I am back to my normal happy self today. YAY!!! Guess now I'll make sure to stay away from them.
Anyone else out there allergic??? |

Re: Bees....I don\'t like them...apparently they don\'t like me
Usually the allergy doesn't show up until the second time you get stung Dawn. Make sure you carry an epi-pen from now on! I am only allergic to pollen and shellfish. Glad you are feeling better!!

Re: Bees....I don\'t like them...apparently they don\'t like me
Luckily I am not allergic to anything at the moment. Glad you are back to yourself Dawn. I got stung by a sweat bee when we all went to the zoo for our meet. That sucker itched forever it seemed.

Re: Bees....I don\'t like them...apparently they don\'t like me
I'm not allergic to anything. I'm glad you are feeling better and it didn't turn out too bad! My MIL is allergic and has the 'bee kit' with her always.
Keep safe from those bees! Maybe you need to disguise yourself as a<font color="#666666"> little black rain cloud</font>  |

I have terrible allergies, but bee stings aren't one of them.

Re: Bees....I don\'t like them...apparently they don\'t like me
I'm not allergic to bees, just terrified of them! One of my first memories is stepping on one and being stung when I was 3 years old.
I am deathly allergic to cats, though  |

Re: Bees....I don\'t like them...apparently they don\'t like me
My nephew is allergic to them and when he was a kid if we took him anywhere we had to take his epi pen. Luckily any time I babysat him and his brother it was always his brother that got stung (and he isn't allergic). My dd has only been stung once so far so we still don't know if she is alleric to them or not. She has asthma and allergies so we will wait and see.

Glad you are now okay!!! That can be really scary. Both my sisters are allergic to bees, finding out from stings when we were kids. One of my sisters legs swelled up three times its normal size. Keep an eye out for any more of the little buggers.

Re: Bees....I don\'t like them...apparently they don\'t like me
Oh Dawn-that can be so scary! My dad was allergic to bees and didn't know it. He came into the house, turned blue and passed out! He came to and he went to the Emergency Room and was fine like you! Make sure you were given a prescription for an epipen and if not please get one. If you need any help with the instruction, please let me know.
