***PassPorter's December Gathering 2009: Event Schedule***UPDATED 11/9/09***Ornament Exchange Info Added!!! - Page 8 - 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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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!

Oooo, has EMH at AK changed. It used to be on Wed. nights. We did it on Wed. night in Oct. and in Dec. '07. Did they change all of the EMH?
I don't know exactly, but we're going in June and it's on Monday night. Last October I believe it was Wednesday as we weren't there and weren't able to take advantage of them.

I didn't know that they switched them around by season. I'm going to go see what I can find about all of the emh's.

Great! You can double check my 'thoughts'. This is what I have for the time period we'll be there:
Tuesday, 12/8 - AM EMH - ?? PM EMH - DHS
Wednesday, 12/9 - AM EMH - AK PM EMH - MK
Thursday, 12/10 - AM EMH - Epcot PM EMH - none
Friday, 12/11 - AM EMH - none PM EMH - AK
Saturday, 12/12 - AM EMH - MK PM EMH - none
Sunday, 12/13 - AM EMH - none PM EMH - Epcot
Monday, 12/14 - AM EMH - DHS
I don't have anything else as originally we were leaving on the 14th - I guess I need to do more research.

OK sorry I messed up. Ak EEMH should be on a Wednesday. I think in my Excel spreadsheet when I changed my dates some things didn't trnasfer.
So, now that I've re-looked the historical EMHs up they should be accordingly:
MK - AM EMH on Thursdays & PM EMH on Mondays
Epcot - AM EMH on Tuesdays & PM EMH on Fridays
DHS - AM EMH on Saturdays & PM EMH on Sundays
AK - AM EMH on Mondays & PM EMH on Wednesdays
Registered Message Board Members save 30% off PassPorter guidebooks! When you register you'll have access to a discount coupon good for 30% off the list price of PassPorter books in our online store.
Sorry for the delay. I had to go to the hospital my grandma-in-law is in ICU and not expected to make it.
I just checked and based on the EMH schedule from last year - what you have is correct.

And now I really don't know when to do MVMCP!

Thank you. Amazing! she's had a major turn around today. The doctors told us last night that in essense, they were pulling life support. Well she's doing ok on her own today. She's almost 97 and told her one granddaughter last night that she's hungry and has no intention of dying just yet. Got to love her!

Best wishes for grandma Lorie!!
Well if DHS will have PM EMH on Sunday nite, that settles my dilemma of what to do Sunday!! Sounds like a good night for the Osborne Lights!
Just a reminder - Disney has not released the schedule for December yet. All dates and events are ultimately "To Be Announced" at a later date until the dates are released. Disney had made some odd change-ups in the schedule from what I'm hearing, so nothing is graven in stone until the schedule is released! Kick around ideas for now, but there's no way we can predict what the schedule will look like reliably 9 months out.
We have many proposed events for The Gathering and we need event hosts for the PassPorter Gathering Events. (Check out the events in the first post of this thread.) Once we have a park of the day schedule (which won't likely happen until the schedule is released), we'll start letting Event Hosts choose their dates and times. They'll let me know and we'll have ourselves a schedule for The PassPorter December Gathering!
