I wore my Crocs for the first time today ... - Page 2 - PassPorter - A Community of Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, and General Travel Forums
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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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!

I actually had to buy kids size Crocs because the adult size were way too big.
I will only wear these with jeans, though. My feet don't look "too" big in them - although they look bigger than when I wear my tennis shoes.

You don't have to justify your Croc habit to me!!! I hear they are the most comfy things out there. I feel the same about my running shoes so I'll stick with them. But if you love them, thats what matters!
I have 3 pair of crocs and wear them almost every day! Even in the winter, with socks! You'll certainly be in the majority once you get to Disney World!

Well, I put my big ole' size 10/11 feet into my Crocs w/Jibbitz and wear them EVERYWHERE! I have about 6 pairs of them and wear them everyday right now because I had foot surgery about 2 months ago and they're the only thing that doesn't bind or rub. I tell everyone the same thing - "I don't care how ugly they are, they're COMFORTABLE! and that's what counts"

I hardly think wearing Crocs ONE TIME constitutes a habit.
I wasn't justifying, just commenting on how big the shoes are! I was actually thinking of getting even a size lower because the space around my feet seemed so big, but the length was good. So I kept the size I had.
I wore my Crocs most of the time while in WDW. I wore tennis shoes the first couple of days and I got the biggest blister I have ever seen in my entire life on my baby toe. It hurt so bad I could barely walk. I wore the Crocs the rest of the time. And had no problems. We just got back last nite. Have a great time.
Let's face it, crocs are about the ugliest shoes ever. BUT, they are also the most comfortable shoes ever. I have to confess that I have 6 pairs- three Mickey (black, pink and red) one pair light yellow and one pair bright yellow with a blue strap, and a pair of black flat. Lots of jibbitz.
I am 58 years old, at my age you could care what others think of you!

I think they look really cute on kids. I have relatively small feet (size 6) but they look huge in Crocs. I don't care, I love them anyway- especially my Mickey ones.
One of my friends refuses to wear them because she saw that photo of Bush wearing them.

he will be out of office soon, and then i dont care that i wear the same shoes as him, plus i DEFINITELY never wear the plain ones, and i know he doesnt wear Mickey Mouse ones....
life is good again, i had to rationalize, i leave in 12 hours, and well, i dont have time to buy new shoes....

However, they are comfy and they are quite convenient to slip on to walk to the mailbox.
