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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Re: Diet Pixies-Wed.6/5
Here's some ***pixie dust*** for you also. Boy, early! DH got up early this morning also to go running. It's been so hot here, even late into the evening. I missed doing laps in the pool last night. Had an eye doctor appt., and had the ol' pupils dialated. Very small dinner though. Just a bit of spaghetti and a piece of bread. At least it wasn't chicken, rice, and corn!

Re: Diet Pixies-Wed.6/5
Hello, Pixies!
First, luvn, thanks so much for doing this every day -- you're so dedicated! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Good luck to you today.
Cindy, you're making me hungry! LOL
And Donna -- good luck weighing in tonight! I just got back from my first weigh-in in 16 days ... and let me just say:
FIVE POUNDS FIVE POUNDS FIVE POUNDS FIVE POUNDS!
Whooo-hooooo! Even with a car trip (including all the usual snacks and restaurant food) over the weekend, and my complete lack of willpower last week, I lost 5 pounds in 16 days. [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] Next week, we're getting back on our regular schedule, so weigh-in day will be Monday. I hope to lose another pound by then. Actually, I don't really care how much I lose each week -- as long as it's progress in the right direction! [img]graemlins/love.gif[/img]
Gonna go find something healthy for lunch.

Re: Diet Pixies-Wed.6/5
Hello everyone!!! Weighed in at noon, I lost 1.4! Yeah! That certainly motivates me! I have to work until 7:30 or so, hopefully I can even get a small walk in with DD before she needs to go to bed! Keep up the great work!

Re: Diet Pixies-Wed.6/5
I haven't checked in this week. I haven't done well! I weigh in tomorrow and I'm not excited about it. I hope I stayed the same and no gain! I guess we'll just see! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img]

Re: Diet Pixies-Wed.6/5
Hi everyone! Down a pound! Yay!
I weigh every day, but don't panic if it bounces up a little once in a while; as long as it generally keeps working down.
Way to go WhoSEZ! Five pounds is great!
We can all do it!

Re: Diet Pixies-Wed.6/5
Good morning Pixies. I went for my walk this morning and mowed the lawn. I think that takes care of my exercise points for the day! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
So far, I'm keeping on track - yay. Tonight I weigh in. Wish me luck.
Keep up the good work, everybody!

Re: Diet Pixies-Wed.6/5
WTG WhoSez!! You were doing better than you thought!
Minnievoice, remember, showing up is half the battle! Good luck at WI!
I'm down 2.4 for the week! I'm so excited! And my WW buddy dipped under 200 today, so we were very happy campers! [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]
DH is taking us to Disneyland on Friday, I'm a little nervous about my points, since we have a reservation for Rainforest Cafe for late lunch. Can I say banked points? [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Diet Pixies-Wed.6/5
LOL Priscilla -- love those banked points!! I'm sure you can find something good at RFC; they always have such good choices.
My mouth is watering, just thinking about it! [img]graemlins/love.gif[/img]
