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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Last night my older DS and I went to a Food and Beer tasting thing.. I went because he asked me if I would, (none of his friends wanted to go) so I said yes even though I dont like beer. But I liked the beers thay had us tasting! Who knew there were so many different tastes in beer?? We tried 4 different beers and I really liked them all.
So do you like beer and have you ever tried any different varieties (like Belgian, small breweries etc)?

When we went to Epcot for the Food and Wine Festival, we did a "bar crawl" and tried all the beers from all of the different countries. Our favorite, hands down, was Tsing-Tao, which is from China. I was super stoked when I found it in a grocery store here in town!
Here are some pics of me enjoying these tasty beverages.
I mostly just experiment with different varieties of Sam Adams when I want to try something new. Old Fezziwig Ale is the only one I couldn't get behind.

I do like beer, but I prefer it to go with the more "traditional" beer foods like pizza, wings, and German food. Most other times I like wine or mixed drinks. I guess I like it all!
Portland has a lot of microbreweries and I think everyone in my town has been a beer snob at one time or another (until you realize that dark beer has a lot of calories!) Like Wvugrrrl I discovered my currently fave beer at Epcot, Japan's Kirin. It's light and crispy and heavenly. The only kind of beer I don't enjoy is fruity beer.
Ooohhhh, I love the fruity beers! Lienenkugle BerryWiess is a favorite, but not something I would want to drink all the time. Years ago, there was a microbrew called Zebra and they had a raspberry and a peach beer and I loved both of those also.
I love beer, and I'm not snobby about it. My only requirement is it taste good! Dark, light- calories be damned! I'll drink most any kind from standard stuff like Budweiser to microbrewery blends. In fact, I spent last Saturday afternoon at a local microbrewery. I haven't developed a taste for the fruity beers though. I'm glad you found something you enjoyed, Sheila. It sounds like a fun event! What kind of food did they offer to go with the beer?
I've never tried beer...........the smell gets to me .......I wouldn't be able to raise a glass to my mouth without getting a whiff of it......My grown-up kids always joke about my not ever having a taste of a beer.....................it's wine for me rella
My husband is a beer affecianado (sp?). His favorites are from a Quebec brewery (actually, I think they brew it in the states now) named Unibrew. Beers called Dragon's Milk, La Fin Du Monde, and some other ones I can't remember. He prefers microbrews and can definitely tell a different taste/consistency between all beers. His general favorite is Leinenkugel's Red or any hefeweiss. I suppose you could call him a beer snob, but he'll take a regular beer too. He calls it liquid medicine! Personally, they're all the same to me, beer is beer. But hand me a strawberry daquri or Mai Tai and I'm good to go!!!

DH says to tell you one of his former favorites (he no longer drinks beer like he once did ) was Dead Guy Ale.
We do have a case of Spaten in the house for the rare occasion when Walt just has to have a beer with his pizza, but that is VERY rare. He won that case from the local radio station. And he considers it sacred. No cooking with that beer for me.

Although I'm not a big beer drinker, but if I had a choice, and one was available, it would be fruity
