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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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: 2007 Who\'s Cruising List
Welcome! I'm going to make your topic "sticky" so it stays at the top of the forum. That way as people book their cruises, they can post here. [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
We will be in the MouseFest 2007 Cruise December 2 - 6, 2007. [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/love.gif[/img]

Re: 2007 Who\'s Cruising List
DBF and I are doing our FIRST ever cruise January 14, 2007, the 4-day Wonder cruise. Needless to say, I've already got my PassPorter Guide to the Disney Cruise Line, and I've been haunting the boards for tidbits and trip reports. Anybody else going to be onboard with us? Oh yeah, we were able to get Room 5020, one of the secret porthole rooms, too!

Re: 2007 Who\'s Cruising List
Woo Hoo. We're taking our first Disney Cruise. We're booked on the 4-Night Cruise the week of December 9, 2007. We were able to snag a Cat 2 suite (8016). My travel agent and I were both shocked one was available. Traveling will be me, the wife, our then 9 year old twins and my parents. We are so excited.... Has anyone stayed in these? I've seen a few trip reports, but we're craving information...

Re: 2007 Who\'s Cruising List
We already have our ressies for May 20, 2007 on the Wonder. We will be celebrating our 25th anniversary. And I am totally at odds as to whether or not we should take our children. They want to come so bad, but it would be kind of nice to get away for a short period by ourselves, like it was 25 years ago....Oh I am so torn!

Hi Stingray!
We'll be on the same cruise, on the same deck! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] We have rooms 7534, 7535, 7536, and 7563. I have 2, possibly 3 more families that are planning on going with us! How old will your twins be? My kids will be DD11, DS7, and DD4.
Take care,
Kim

Re: 2007 Who\'s Cruising List
We're booked for a 4 night Wonder Cruise starting on February 25, 2007. We were able to get one of the Cat. 6 at a Cat. 7 price rooms with a verandah -- and I'm excited!
It will just be Thomas and I -- but we're ready for a great vacation!

Re: 2007 Who\'s Cruising List
The World is wonderful, the Land is magical but the cruise. Now that is just plain awesome. We are quickly approaching our 3rd in the last 18 months. We are just addicted to another Disney travel opportunity. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
