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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

I have just been browsing your designs, Shadowryter. They are all so great!! I was wondering if, when you had the time, you could make some up for me? Here are the ones I liked:
1. The Mickey and Friends with logo name fill. I'm going to need 2, one for KAELI and the other for ABBY. Can the logo be printed in black with a 2011 date please? Also, I would like both Mickey and Minnie to bookend each name if possible. (Mickey on the right, Minnie to the left)
2. The First Trip to WDW mickey bubble. But, instead of it saying "First Trip" could it please say "I'm going to Disney World". I will need 2 of these as well, one for Kaeli and the other for Abby. Please use the date of 2011 in the other ear.
Linda-
I am new to this board and found you work to be very awesome. My family will be cruising 40 days....it is a 4 generation cruise. Would you be willing to put together some images for me. Thanks

Shadowryter- just one more request I promise! I would like this logo http://dc300.4shared.com/img/EqRa4sf..._twice_DCL.jpg with this info: Nagaraj, Kathy, Naren, Pavan, Kiran, Eula-printed to make Mickey's head and then Disney Magic October 15-22, 2011 or Oct 2011 on it. I am not sure if it can hold Western Caribbean on it as well, but if you can, please work your "magic". I would like to put it on a bag so whatever you need to do to make it fit or look beautiful will be fine. Please I like the red letters in the center just like on your original logo. Thanks again. I will definately post the shirts and bag when I am done. Thank you.

Hi, I love, love, love your work! I sent you a PM the other day, just wanted to make sure you got it, or if I should post our request here instead. Thanks!
I originally posted this request on July 7 and think it got lost. I am on Page 51 and I know there was some issues with that page. Please let me know if you received this. We leave for our cruise in 2 weeks so I am hoping you can help us out. :-)
Your stuff is AWESOME!!! I have been looking through everything for a few days. I have a couple of requests to make if you can do them I would REALLY appreciate it. I would like all the following bubble blank. If you could just remove all the works and post blank bubbles I can put the words I need in them.
PassPorter's Free-Book to Walt Disney World It’s hard to believe anything is free at Walt Disney World; but there are actually a number of things you can get or do for little to no cost.

Perhaps more importantly; you can discover overlooked attractions and little-known details most people whiz by on their way to spend money. Click here to see free sample pages from the e-book! Get this popular e-book free of extra charges when you join the PassPorter's Club for as little as $4.95. A club pass includes access to all our other e-books; e-worksheets; super-size photos; and more! This e-book is also available for separate purchase in the PassPorter Online Store for just $5.95.
Linda, your designs are so wonderful I can't stop asking for more! Could you do 2 more for me?
1) I found one on your 4shared.com page for the Oct 2011 cruise. It's the Pirates In The Caribbean Mickey head in red and black. I would like it to say "Alaskan Pirates" on top - no date inside the circle - and "Disney Wonder ~ 2011" around the bottom.
2) Using the Wonder porthole picture from your cruise tip envelope page, could you add the ears to make a Mickey head and put that in a box (like the "North to Alaska" one, it won't be used for tip envelope)? Over the top could you put "Cruisin' with some "Wonder"ful characters"
Let me know if you have any questions if this isn't clear. Thanks again!!!
Hi there, I'm back after resting my shoulder for a bit. I wasn't sure with the positioning of the wording for the porthole one, so I tried two. Here are your requests.
You did such an awesome job on my other designs I was wondering if you could do a few more.
I would like the Magic itinerary and tip envelopes that you did for the Gabbur Family and a celebration t-shirt:
The Itinerary is the Eastern Caribbean for September 24-October 1: Port Canaveral, At Sea, At Sea, St. Maartan, St. Thomas, At Sea, Castaway Cay, Port Canaveral.
The Tip Envelope is the Magic one with the Mickey Anchor that Says: Thank you for Outstanding Service: The Shuttleworth Family.
I would like one of the birthday shirts that is the big number that say's: It's My 8th Birthday- Alianna
Thanks a million
Hi there, I had two styles for the intinerary so I did both for you. Here are your requests.
