Forums Closed
|
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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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!
Best wishes for a wonderful and magical new year!

Re: Code alert for 4/27-7/3/03!!
Thanks Jean! I've reconsidered staying off site and am again considering All Stars or Moderates. We are staying at the Dolphin for 2 or 3 nights then transferring. How does the transfer work? Will they take our luggage or is it best to go with all our stuff to check in early? Also, we've stayed in the Martinique of CB and LOVED it but would consider staying at CSR or PO. Any advice? My DD is 8. Also, if we book with this code is it better than AAA or can we use both? Also, if a better "offer" comes out can we switch to that? Sorry for all the ? .

Re: Code alert for 4/27-7/3/03!!
To the best of my knowledge, there is not luggage transfers to or from All Stars, [someone correct me if I'm wrong]
You don't say what dates you are wanting, but the resorts you have listed are included in this latest code. The discount code is always better than AAA. You cannot have AAA and discount code too. I always book the best code offered and as each code comes out I compare and then change it.

Jean:
You are the absolute best. I just booked PO-FQ for three nights $356 tax included. Was hoping to stay at Poly but I just can't justify spending $896. I am so cheap. More Mickey bars for me.
Thanks again Jean.

Re: Code alert for 4/27-7/3/03!!
First trip, lots of questions...Can I book my room or package now and make changes later? Can I turn it over to a travel agent later? Is a package the only way to get ultimate Park Hopper passes? [img]graemlins/wavin.gif[/img]

Re: Code alert for 4/27-7/3/03!!
JenH: Anyone can book this code and add ultimate park hopper tickets to it. It is not a true package like you would get through WDW Travel co.
A lot of people book the resort they want and then when codes are released, call and have the rate adjusted. That is what I did for clients all morning. A lot of people do not have the time or patience to look for the discounts themselves so they contact us.

Re: Code alert for 4/27-7/3/03!!
Is this a "normal" code? She said it was a "Hispanic Summer Room Only" code. She applied the code to my reservation, but I am wondering if it was ok to use since I am not Hispanic??? Don't want to take any opportunity away from the target group.
She asked if I had seen the code in a magazine? Mousesavers.com says it was in the Spanish language People.
I got the All Stars for $84/ night (or $94 with tax).
This isn't the typical 25% off I was expecting. Could there be another??

Re: Code alert for 4/27-7/3/03!!
When Disney markets to a specific ethnicity, it is against all rules to do ethnic profiling and not allow non-hispanics to book as well. There is also code AXB and that was in a black publication. Believe me Disney does not want to ruffle feathers and will give the code to any who asks, providing there is availability.
To answer your other question, the %off is less than in the past. Looks like they are discounting 15.00 off for All Stars, 40.00 off for moderates and 90.00 off deluxe.

Re: Code alert for 4/27-7/3/03!!
I wonder if this code AXA applies to campsites at Fort Wilderness?
(I missed using the other code for the campsite that is out because we won't be there until June 11th and the code expired June 7th).
