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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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 live in Vikings country and I am soooo tired of this. We got it last season too.
I really would like him to stay retired and coach HS football somewhere and let the Vikings work with the team they have instead of getting caught up in the will he/won't he game.
But I voted that he'll show up. The Vikings don't lose much in the gamble...they'll get a lot of PR and hype -- especially with those Packer games you mentioned!
I hope he does better than he has recently. I really think he wants one more good season before he calls it quits. Pulling on little memory here, but I think he did really well in the beginning with the Jets -- something like 8 wins out of what 11 or 12 games? And then his shoulder started acting up and it went downhill!
Didn't he have surgry like 3-4 weeks ago? So he's not even done healing yet. I guess his signing will depend largely on that. He may just have to call it quits if he's not back in his game.
I'm in Packer country and we are really sick of hearing about it! He did a great job while he was here and we were all sad to see him go but when you say you are retiring than do it and enough with the games that he is playing. He will be remembered as one of the best quarterbacks ever and I hope if he plays again he doesn't ruin that.
Another Wisconsinite, and I vote - who cares!! We're sick of hearing about him. Retire, be a Viking, whatever. He's already lost respect, so it doesn't matter anymore!

DH is a big NY Jets fan and we went through this same thing when BF decided to come to NY. The whole thing drove DH crazy; he was probably one of the few who never bought into the frenzy of BF being a Jet. And look what happened: he messed it up in the end. For your sake (and the Vikings of course) - I hope he doesn't show. I do like the idea of staying retired and becoming a HS football coach though!
I voted "yes," and he'll break my heart just that much more when he does so. Although I'm born and raised in Illinois, Dad grew up in Wisconsin, so I'm a dyed-in-the-wool Packers' fan. I don't understand why Brett had to go and ruin everything the first time he couldn't make up his mind about whether or not he should stay retired. IMO, he just wants to come back to spite the Packers. What better way of doing that than signing with one of their big rivals and beating them when they play each other? It feels like a slap in the face to all of the fans who've loved and supported him throughout his entire Packers' career. JMHO.

Sorry guys, But I doubt this is over yet!! He seems like a guy who doesn't want to put all the work and practice in, but still wants to play on sunday when it's game time. Look for him in the news again soon, either right before the season starts or a few weeks in...
