DIY Autograph Book -- Page Downloads - Page 2 - PassPorter - A Community of Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, and General Travel Forums
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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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!

ETA:
I have also added a page for each country in the World Showcase, a really fun thing to do is have a CM from each country write a message to your child (or you!) in their native language and sign their name. Make sure you have the translation written too (on the back maybe?).
I have also added 3 "filler" pages to stick at the end for those signatures you get from characters without pages made for them. There's one with balloons, one with the castle, and another with the Disney logo.

Thanks, you have a lot of work in this project, but it is well worth it! Thanks again, I may try to print and keep them loose until after we get to take our next trip, then work them into the scrapbook pages.
Sara
This is silly but I do not know how to find the way to print the pics out of photo bucket. Actually it embaresses me to have to ask.
Thanks,
Red
No need to be embarrased! You actually can not print stuff directly off of PB (not that I've seen at least). What you need to do is save the images you want to print to your computer and then print from there.
Cool! We made our Autograph books and also put journal pages in it last trip. We just did Kinko's comb binding with a plastic presentation cover so the kids could decorate. It was a fun project and my oldest had something to show here teacher when we got back.. Thanks for posting the pictures. We'll have to try that next time!
Okay, you asked... here's my list of more characters I'd like to include.
- the rest of the seven dwarves
- Simba (Lion King)
- Zazu (hornbill, Lion King)
- Nala (Lion King)
- Prince Naveen (Princess and the Frog)
Thanks SO much for creating these pages! By the way, I'm in the middle of creating books for me and my DD (18yo). She can't wait! When I'm done I'll take a pic and post it in this thread.

Hi! I am at work today and leave tomorrow for Disney, so I probably won't get to these until I get home after the 18th. I'm happy to make cards for these characters, though as fas as I am aware Simba, Zazu, and Nala are not out in the parks and don't do autographs.

Thanks so much. I didn't know about Simba, Zazu or Nala... thought I'd ask anyway just to complete the Lion King characters since Rafiki is available.

Have a great trip!
Yup, I did Rafiki because you can normally find him in AK up at his Planet Watch outpost. I'm going to work on the rest of the dwarves and Prince Naveen this afternoon.
*ETA: And they are up

Great job! I did this for my daughter on our last trip and she got TONS of feedback from the characters when they signed her book. I have the pages up on Google Docs, I think, if anyone is interested, I can post the link!
I know this is older but I wanted to say what a wonderful Idea. I love the idea of being able to customize the autograph book for each year so we can keep it as a keepsake. Especially since our daughter is so young she won't remember these trips.
