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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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: Hallowen at Disney
We went last year a couple weeks before Halloween and it was tank top and shorts weather, even into the evening (90 degrees the day we went to the party). DS was 9 and I bought him the most light weight pirate costume I could find. The sleeves were cut to 3 quarter length (jagged edges) and I trimmed the pants to just below the knees in the same jagged pattern. I think that was even too warm of a costume being it was made of polyester. I carried his accessories (hat, eye patch, etc.) because even though he really wanted to wear them, it was too hot. We only put them on for pictures. (See my signature picture below.)

Re: Hallowen at Disney
Usually quite warm during the day, and never more than a light jacket (if that) at night)

Re: Hallowen at Disney
When we went to MNSSHP last year (10/25) Hurricane Wilma had just gone through. It was chilly & we all wore jackets & sweatshirts.

Re: Hallowen at Disney
I would prepare for either warm/hot weather or chilly weather. I would choose a costume that was lightweight but large enough to wear a longsleeve/turtleneck or sweatshirt underneath just in case. My daughter is going as Tinkerbell and i plan on taking a longsleeve shirt and tights just in case. Usually its pretty hot in October but not always

Re: Hallowen at Disney
Thanks for all your help. I will plan on an easily interchangable costume.

Re: Hallowen at Disney
We have been 3 times in October. The first 2 times, the weather was really nice - hot even. Last year, we got hit by Hurricane Wilma and it rained the evening we went to MNSSHP. It wasn't chilly - the girls were still in shorts & t-shirts (we took them out of their costumes so they wouldn't get ruined) but we were all a little wet from the rain [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Still had a fabulous time though - I think the rain kept some party-goers away - by 10pm the park was EMPTY even though it had stopped raining!

Re: Hallowen at Disney
We were there last year, Oldest DD was Tinker Bell, she was totally comfortable in that skimpy outfit! Youngest was the new little Disney Fairy, and she was fine, I was the blue fairy and was totally comfortable all evening as well. Sleeveless top (no strapless stuff for me!) I think the evening we went it was the 19th, beautiful weather, warm enought at midnight when the party was over to not need a jacket at all. I LOVE October in Florida! S [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/fairy2.gif[/img] [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/fairy2.gif[/img] [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/fairy2.gif[/img] have a wonderful time. (try to wake tink if you want to.)

We were there then too. It was down right cold several nights. I remember the weather forcasts on TV saying that the lows were in the high 30's/low 40's for 2 or 3 nights and during the day it topped out in the low to mid 60's. I remember wearing a sweat shirt all day for 1 or 2 days. I would be prepared for anything. It was colder for our October trip than it was for our last 3 January trips.

Oh my gosh, this is good to know. When we are going to MNSSHP this year, I wasn't planning on bringing anything for cooler weather.
