Who has already gotten the deluxe 2011 edition?? - 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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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!

Before I even joined the Passporter Boards I pre-ordered (from amazon) the long awaited Deluxe 2011 Passporter Edition....and I have yet to receive it. Am i missing something? Did it not come out yet? I went to the website for Barn. and Nob. and Borders. But they either dont carry it or ran out. Should I look elsewhere?
And I looked at my order with Amazon and it says the book i ordered was "looseleaf." And Borders said theirs were "Hardcover." Oh no! I didnt know there were different versions of the same book....are there? Should i cancel my amazon order and go somewhere else?

Did you order the book with the binder or did you order a refill? I ordered my refill and recieved it in 3 days. You should contact them, I am sure Jennifer and Dave will take care of it right away.
You're the third person I've heard from that ordered a Deluxe from Amazon but has yet to receive it. You may want to seriously consider ordering it directly from the PassPorter Store at PassPorter's Walt Disney World 2011 - Deluxe Starter Kit -- they ship the next business day.

Thanks. I think i might cancel my amazon order and and take you up on your suggestion. Thank you to everyone.
I do recommend ordering directly from the PassPorter store. The service is wonderful and you know you will get what you ordered or they will quickly make it right. I have been enjoying my beautiful copy of the 2011 deluxe for several weeks now. It's the best PassPorter ever!

you are making me jealous! if i had only known earlier......
I ordered both my 2010 and 2011 Deluxe versions (2011's version was the refill) from the Passporter Store. Both editions arrived quickly and are gorgeous.
As much as I love Amazon, I think that in this case you might want to cancel your order there and connect with the actual publishers/authors. I've had interactions with them and they've always been helpful, kind and really great with me.

I had the same issue. I had ordered through amazon because I have free prime shipping. But I decided to cancel after March17th. I got it within 2 days. I chose the next fastest shipping method from standard. Another benefit is the e-book is free if the book is purchased through this site. You also get the ebook right after you order the book. You don't have to wait to receive the book. I think if you order through amazon, you would still need to pay for the ebook if you decided you wanted the ebook too.
I did it!! I have been waiting & waiting for Amazon....but today I cancelled the order & ordered here! Can't wait to start filling it in with my August vaca ADRs etc!!

Glad to hear that you got yours. I order from the passporter store as I usually get it faster but also to help support the business. I don't know if it matters on that last front (some publishers have said to order from the big guys as it helps their "web" presence) or not, but it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.
