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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

These are AMAZING! I love them. Any chance you'd do each of our names in the VilliansName style? It would be Tim, Tara, Hunter, Chancelor, and Russell.
Also, any chance of some sort of Halloween Vacation...MNSSHP/Western Caribbean Cruise. If not, I've downloaded the MNSSHP with the 4 characters and love that one as well.
Thanks in advance. Again, you do GREAT work!

Reason: added lines to it.
OK, I can't believe I did this - I used the date that we return from London, rather than the date the cruise ends on all these! Just noticed as I was about to print them out to get ready to make the t-shirts. Would you mind changing the end date to July 6? We are using the Disney World Red Border one, and the Do You Believe - not using the Pirate one.
So sorry for my mistake, and I REALLY appreciate you fixing my mistake. Otherwise everyone will wonder why WE get to stay onboard 3 extra days! (Don't I wish!)
Thanks again!!

I finished the names now on to Halloween. Did you want a couple of designs for MNSSHP and the cruise or some kind of combination of them.? TIA
Linda
I absolutely love your t-shirts designs!! If you have time, can you please make two designs for me? I would like both designs to be the Cruise Mickey and Gang Porthole with the Wonder and the year, 2010. On one design, I would like the names Daryl and Lisa and the other design, Kevin and Sara. Also, can you please give some instructions on how to transfer these to t-shirts?
Would Ideally like some sort of combination of the two; but if it's not possible; would be very happy with a design for each. Again, you are amazing!
TIA,
Tara
Hi Tara, Here are your requests. I did a combination as you asked. If you want any names or dates just let me know, I'll be happy to add them in for you.
Linda
Hi there. The first design you requested was one of 6 of my debut designs. Taking a look at it now it needed a little bit of enhancement. So if you don't mind I am posting the newer version. The biggest change? My Mickey bubble. It took me weeks to perfect it and as far as I know, I'm the only one who does it this way.Of course if you prefer the ol desgine you're more than welcome to it.

Thanks, so much for doing the designs for me. Can you make one slight change? Can you please put the year 2010 in the port hole (like you have in your original design)? Also, I just saw your new Mickey Bubble design, which is absolutely adorable! If it wouldn't be too much trouble, can you please do two of those for me that say Cruising the Wonder and the name, The Halls at the bottom, On the other one I would like it to say Cruising the Wonder and the name, The Sosas at the bottom. Also, what is the best way to transfer these to a t-shirt?
Thanks again for your help. I really appreciate it.
