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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Now HERE is a good Test!!!
www.emode.com
Look for "What's your Survivor Strategy?" under TOP TESTS.
Here's my results...
"Steve, your Survivor Strategy is to be The Peacemaker! You want to play the game by your own rules — with integrity, honesty and a clear conscience. You just might be the one player on the island that cares less about the money and more about the experience.
Winning friends won't be a problem though, as fellow tribe members will feel secure in your company. You are a good listener and keep the complaining to a minimum. You'll get far in the game just because you're a pleasure to have around. But in this everyone-for-themselves environment, your friendly ways could be misinterpreted as a ploy to lure people into a false sense of security.
The Big Question: Will your moral code make you an easy victim of other more scheming tribe members?
Immunity Challenge Strength: Any competition that threatens to divide your tribe."
Neat site, btw for other fun tests, too! Oh, and also, I would care VERY MUCH about the money!

Re: Now HERE is a good Test!!!
I'm a PEACEMAKER too! My mother would never agree with that! She always said that I was the one who started all the fights with siblings when we were growing up. She would say I'm the TROUBLEMAKER.

Re: Now HERE is a good Test!!!
Peacemaker here too. Does anyone NOT get Peacemaker? I'm starting to wonder, because I don't think very many of my answers supported that!

Re: Now HERE is a good Test!!!
Hummm, Peacemaker here too. The thing is I probably would be the Peacemaker because I don't like any kind of discord, though I have no problem sticking up for myself if I need to.

Re: Now HERE is a good Test!!!
Guess what, I'm the .....
Sage
Your Survivor Strategy is to be The Sage. And your plan? Slow and steady will win the race — or in this case the million-dollar prize. You're in it as much for the experience as you are for the prize, and this wisdom allows you to see the big picture.
When else in your life will you be thrown together with 15 strangers in one of the world's most beautiful places? You know better than to get caught up in minor squabbles over who ate the last piece of breadfruit. It's a long game and your patience will allow you to fly under the radar while the more willful tribe members eliminate each other. Just remember to pull your own weight though. The slow and deliberate approach won't always work in your favor. Pick your battles and you might end up winning the war.
Big Question: Will your Sage Strategy curb your competitive spirit during the more physical challenges?
Immunity Challenge Strength: Any competition that requires patience, tenacity, or looking before you leap.
So it's possible not to be the peacemaker. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Now HERE is a good Test!!!
OK, I'm not a peacemaker. I'm The Sage. Slow and steady wins the race. I lay low and stay out of conflicts. My challenge strengths are those that require a little forthought and planning, but I could have the tendency to hold back on quick physical challenges. Probably true!
