Getting to Know You...just for fun! - Page 98 - 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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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!

We love Sponge Bob! It's just a funny show! Ed, Edd, and Eddy was one of the WORST!! Just their voices made me want to reach through the tv and strangle them!
Do you have a favorite Disney song? I love most of them, but on my 50th anniversary cd Leann Rymes singes "Remember When" and it makes me teary everytime I hear it! I just LOVE it!
In line at MTMRR. I gave her a hard time for blocking the FP lane using her cell phone. She ended up being my ride companion and proceeded to tell me how rude I had been to her
Do you change the oil in your car or take it to the pros?

That's a really Great story!
I take my car to the Garage of Dad to get my oil changed.
I'm at work (shhhh!), so What would you rather be doing right now?
I'd rather be home sitting outside with my kitties on their leaches reading a book in the sun. Unfortunately, I'm stuck here for another 4 hours. Bummer.

I would either much rather right now enjoy swimming in a pool with DS(pools here don't open until after Memorial Day) or shopping/packing for my WDW trip in he middle of next month.
Who is your favorite American Idol Contestant of any Season? I am biased and have to say my distant cousin Judd Harris from Season 4(the one Carrie Underwood won).
For the how did u meet your SO Question, Erick & I went to college together and met in a friend's room. We actually lived 2 rooms apart from each other.

Well if watch Disney Movies, & Playhouse Disney(Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) those are daily(well the movies are weekly), wear Disney Clothing(almost weekly), hit the Disney Store(maybe now once a month since our now closest one is 45 minutes away). I al also surrounded by DS's Disney Toys daily too. For trip wise not as often as I would like, but one will occur this year.
Do you have just one favorite Disney Character or Multiple? DH and I have multiple.

What kind of cell phone do you have, and do you like it? I have a droid and I love it. I am on it waaay more than I thought I would ever be. I do wish that there were more disney apps for it though.

I'd have to say I'm a Rom-Com perfer-er (!) and I also really enjoy thrillers/sci-fi/fantasy (like M. Night Shyamalan and Harry Potter, LOTR-esque movies).
If you have pets, do they sleep with you?
Our 6 cats used to but we were running out of room in the bed and I could not stand the cat hair anymore!
