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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

OMG I had a strange dream last night
I was in Boston walking along the brownstones…I had a date. My date lived in a church that was converted into a hostel style house (several bedrooms for room mates and living areas). My date was one of the Contestants on Project Runway [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] (Bradley in case you are wondering) but he wasn’t ON the show…you know just a normal person. I thought he lived in the house but he didn’t it was more like an art hostel where several artists lived (some with families and pets). Anyway we toured the house and one of the ladies that lived there was very wealthy and I found out she owned a gypsy vanner horse that use to be owned by my ex-friend. My date took me out of the house and down to a studio that was in an outside door. We walked in to an exhibit and he lead me through. Someone stopped and asked him for an autograph. I was a bit surprised. “Who was he?” I asked myself. Well I later learned by asking someone in the room, that my date’s father (who was deceased) was a very famous photographer. Most of the photos in the exhibit where his dad’s photos (some where his), I asked if he was approached much. He told me he wasn’t that most of the fans of his dad’s work didn’t even know what his dad looked like. The prints were very “Ansel Adams” like…black & white scenery. I woke up after he told me how much he felt a connection with me and how he could see himself falling in love with me. [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]
Does this mean my dream man is out there SOMEWHERE?? Maybe someone is telling me I need to go to Boston? Maybe I just need to got to church! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/rofl2.gif[/img]

Re: OMG I had a strange dream last night
Of course your perfect mate is out there! Maybe on Project Runway? [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/questionicon.gif[/img] (I've never seen the show, so don't mind me if I'm saying something totally inappropriate.) I met Wally at church (<--total lie) so you never know! I had one of those dreams last night that I didn't want to wake up from...my boss and coworkers came around my cubicle and announced to me that I was getting a huge raise! Dream on...

YES, your dream man is out there somewhere!! I used to go to school with a girl who was convinced her dream man lived in South Africa for some reason, and that she'd meet him by dropping a gallon of milk on his foot in the grocery store! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/rofl2.gif[/img]

Re: OMG I had a strange dream last night
By the way, she's married now, and he's not from South Africa, and she did not meet him in the grocery store [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img]

Re: OMG I had a strange dream last night
I am sure your dream man is out there somewhere and he will come into your life when you are not even looking! That was a very detailed dream....I am not sure I dream in detail - or maybe I just don't remember all of my dream details! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Re: OMG I had a strange dream last night
No instruction manual but I am actually thinking about using Melissa's gallon milk idea. [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I do work for the Dairy Association.
