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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Okay, I know I'm over thinking this but I haven't flown in many many years. I've been to the TSA prohibited list and while they list everything under the sun they don't specifically mention whether you can bring snacks on the plane. I'm talking like little bags of chips and cookies. I just don't want to get there and have to throw away food. That would not make me happy if I could have just put it in the check in luggage. Anybody have any advice. Thanks, I think I'm starting to stress.
those are fine, no liquids are allowed, but you can buy them on the other side and take them on the plane.

18 trips in my life. 8 in 2007 (Now that's a Dream Come True)
Don't take any empty water bottles either in hopes of filling it when you pass the security point. They're not allowed. Don't carry back any resort mugs you may buy. My guess is they will probably take them away from you, so be sure to pack them in your check in luggage.
I always bring snacks with me, I can't eat the food on the plane (that is if they still give you something). I bring whole packages of cookies, tootsie rolls, pretzels. I have always been okay. No liquids though.
There's a list of what foods and drinks are and aren't allowed over 3 oz. on the TSA list of stuff that's allowed. Stuff you can't bring if the container is over 3 oz. are things like peanut butter, jellies/jams, Jell-O, gel-based sports supplements, etc. Anything liquid or gel or of similar consistency has to be under 3 oz. and in your quart-sized Ziploc bag (unless it is required for a medical condition - then it has to be declared separate from your quart-sized liquid/gels bag and carry-on bag).
Like with shampoos and things, even a half-filled 4 oz. container isn't allowed. The container itself must be 3 oz. or less.
Other snacks are allowed and should stay in your carry-on bag going through the x-ray (they don't need to be declared like liquids and gels). Things like regular pretzels (the kind that are filled prob'ly won't cut it), cookies, and chips should be fine.
The only food I've ever had trouble with was in my checked bag! Apparently chocolate covered bars (granola bars, energy bars, etc) show up on hte new baggage x-ray machines with the same density as some explosives. We were there when they opened the suitcase -- all they did was check the box. But now I put those kinds of things on top so they're easy for security to find. And I pre-open the box so they can see that it contains the "right stuff"
We had fruit snacks and fruit roll ups, as well as Tootsie Pops. All were OK.
On the way home at MCO, my DH forgot about a juice box we had at the bottom of a bag. I said to him to just throw it out and the TSA guy said "oh, that's Ok. Just put it in your diaper bag." It was the first time I've encountered a TSA employee that broke a rule!
