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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Some Pixie Dust !*!*PLEASE*!*!
I can't belive it!! 
I was out doing some errands today and I tripped going into a store. I did something to the heel of my foot and can not put any weight on it! It's just the heel, the rest of the foot is ok so I ended up tip-toeing around the store!
I have never broken anything before & hope I haven't now! I see my doctor at 9:15 tomorrow morning and hope he will tell me it's just a sprain! With only 24 days until WDW I would kill myself if it was broken!
So any extra Pixie Dust would be a great help!!
I'll let you know tomorrow what the Doc says!

Re: Some Pixie Dust !*!*PLEASE*!*!
Oh no!!
Lots of Pixie Dust your way and I hope it isn't broken!!
But, look on the bright side, if it isn't healed up by then, you can make your family wheel you around in a wheelchair and get into rides faster  (I know you'd rather be healthy, but still...) |

Re: Some Pixie Dust !*!*PLEASE*!*!
I'd feel better about all this if Wild wasn't at work right now, where he drove using the foot that he hurt today! Sometimes he is soooo stubborn!
Never fear, no matter what the result from the doctor, we will go to WDW and have the best time we can. In 1989 we went to the world and Wild was in a wheelchair because of a car accident. That time, we had a 3 yo and I was pregnant to boot. This time, even if he's in a wheelchair, we have a 10 yo and a 14 yo to help out, but won't we look funny with two people in wheelchairs (Wild and his Mom!)
I'm praying for you, honey, and hope that all turns out OK! Love!

Re: Some Pixie Dust !*!*PLEASE*!*!
Your Pixie dust WORKED!!!
The main thing is it's not broken!
I may have a tear in the tendon or ligament.
This has excelerated my Plantar Fasciitis!
I am finding out about physical therapy in the morning! But for now it's back to stretching and staying off it for a while!
But with luck I should be back in shape for our trip!!
Thanks for all your Pixie Dust and good thoughts!
Tinkerbell has come through again!!

Sure hope you heal quickly WildForWD! I go tomorrow morning for a follow-up visit due to the same problem... Sore feet aren't much fun!

Re: Some Pixie Dust !*!*PLEASE*!*!
Sorry WildForWD just saw your post I hope everything is going well...did you have to do the therapy or not? I hope you have been staying off of your feet, although as a chef I'm not sure how that can be accomplished, unless you STAY HOME!! Well you have 17 Days 18 Hrs 20 Mins 52 Secs to recovery to Pixie Dust to you!!
