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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

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!

Back in November while surfing the web I checked on Dan Donohues website. Who is Dan Donohue you ask? He played Scar in the traveling Lion King show when they were in Boston. I enjoyed his portrayal of Scar so much, Scar became my fave Disney villian. I found myself watching him primarily everytime he was on stage, causing me to look at Scar in a whole different light. I ended up seeing it a 2nd time in Boston so I could see the show again and well, scar
Well, back to his website I saw that he was only going to be playing Scar till April, then he was heading back to Oregon to play in Shakespeare theater again. So signed ontoTicketmaster to see where the show was going to be the next few months. They were going to be in Pittsburgh in the beginning of 08 so I thought I would see about getting a ticket there. I had friends in Pittsburgh since I lived there for a year and a half, so I could visit them too. Only problem is, the tickets were really expensive, I thought around the same as Braodway. I then checked the price of Broadway to see how they compared. Imagine my surpise when I found Broadway to be cheaper. I clicked on best seat and the best seat was row b in center orchastra and it was the same as the cheaperst seat in Pittsburgh So I purchased the broadway ticket as I have always wanted to see it on broadway and it was a great steat. I was bummed that I wouldn't see Dan Donohue as Scar again, but I would see The Lion King on Broadway
A month or 2 later while the strike was still going on I decided to check THe Lion Kings website to see if they had any info on the strike. They didn't, but I thought I would check to see who was playing Scar, wondering if it was the same guy that was in the program I got at the Boston show. The program had the Broadway cast and not the traveling show's cast. Well, I think you all probably heard my shriek of happiness when I saw Dan Donohue was playing Scar on Broadway now Never realized he was no longer on the touring group,but on Broadway I tell ya, it was fate, if I had purchased the ticket for the Pittsburgh show, I would not have seen Dan afterall, now I will
Unfortunatly I took too long getting airfare, pretty much waiting till 2 weeks before. For some reason I was sooo undecisive on how I want to get there and if I wanted to stay overnight. By the time I decided to fly, airfare was a little higher and well, hotels were just too expensive. So I did fly, but did not stay overnight. I also flew into JFK as it was about $200 cheaper then flying into LaGuardia. I decided to go with Jet Blue as it was the cheapest fare I could find and I did not want to have to drive an hour to Manchester to go Southwest. Turned out just as well cause I did check Southwest and Southwest does not fly to LaGuardia or JFK from Manchester. The only NY airport they fly to from Manchester is Buffalo, which would be no hellp to me.
