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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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!

joe boxer commercial
This has nothing to do with family or friends, but I guess there is not an appropriate category! Oh my gosh, I just saw the new Joe Boxer commercial. It's the one with the guy dancing with the silver box on. I haven't seen a guy like that since I saw Tarzan, in the Tarzan Rocks show! Has anyone seen it? I have a new favorite commercial!

Re: joe boxer commercial
Haven't seen that one yet [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] ! But I loved the one that was on all the time when K-Mart first started promoting the Joe Boxer line. It was the guy in his boxers doing a little bunny hop dance around his bedroom. It cracked me up every time I saw it. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: joe boxer commercial
Margo, same guy, but he's dancing around wearing a silver box with a red ribbon and then he takes off the box to reveal the boxers underneath. I love it!

Re: joe boxer commercial
I'm not sure if I've seen this one, but I love all of the K-Mart commercials they have been coming out with lately. Much better than looking at Martha Stewart's face.

Re: joe boxer commercial
Every time I see that commercial, I laugh my butt off. It doesn't matter what kind of mood I'm in, it cracks me up.
A couple weeks ago on the Jay Leno Show, they had a clip of that commercial on only they pasted a picture of Kevin's head to it. Hysterical [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Comic Sans MS, Arial">I saw that too!
My DS and I love this commercial and DS likes to dance along as long as I don't laugh too hard (which is SOOO very hard to do). So last night we're telling DH about it and he doesn't know which commercial we're talking about until DS does the dance routine.
Definitely a Kodak moment. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Comic Sans MS, Arial">No he isn't [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] ! But he sounds really sweet. And he had the whole crew=Katie, Al, Ann and Lester (who was filling in for Matt, who I am sure was very glad he was off today) all doing the Joe Boxer dance around the set. It was hysterical.
BTW- He came out in red boxers and a Santa hat [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] ! |

Re: joe boxer commercial
Margo,
I can't believe I missed the opportunity to see the Joe Boxer guy in his little outfit. [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img] My DS and I do the Joe Boxer dance, too. My DS is pretty funny. It cracks us up every time.
