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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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: What\'s for dinner?
Had a late dinner during the trivia game tonight. Cheese tortellini and mushroom sauce with steamed baby zucchini and summer squash. [img]graemlins/yuma.gif[/img] With a tall glass of freezing cold milk to combat the heartburn... [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: What\'s for dinner?
We ended up having grilled chicken that was in hickory marinade. I also chopped up some red potatoes with yellow squash and celery (I was out of zucchini-sp?). We also had dinner roles and watermelon/cantelope mix. The potatoes are my favorite, because I throw in a little extra virgin olive oil, a dash of balsamic vinegar and some garlic pepper seasoning. Then it's into some foil and onto the grill. [img]graemlins/yuma.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/yuma.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/yuma.gif[/img]

Re: What\'s for dinner?
Last night we had brats and hot dogs on the grill. Tonite is "get your own meal" nite! We are responsible for our own meals, DH will most likely have leftovers. I will probably make a sandwich or something. [img]graemlins/yuma.gif[/img]

Re: What\'s for dinner?
Last night was more grilled hamburgers and pasta salad. Tonight I'm going to my sister's house to swim in her pool -- she's making my favorite for dinner - salsa chicken!!! [img]graemlins/yuma.gif[/img]

Re: What\'s for dinner?
Steve,
Very easy to make.
Boneless, skinless chicken breast that I pound down a bit
Spread mild chilies and Monteray Jack cheese (or Tex Mex blend - used that last night)
Sprinkle with some chili powder (you can also add some hot sauce here - forgot that last night though).
Roll up and secure with toothpicks
Roll in breadcrumbs (which I like to season with some garlic powder and chili powder)
In a non stick pan - or spray a regular pan (makes for easier clean up)
In the oven at 350 degrees - I like to cook for at least 40 minutes to make sure they are thoroughly cooked.
Pour some salsa on when serving. Very easy meal and it tastes good too. We had one leftover but I found out after I went to bed, Kerry raided the fridge and ate it late last night. Always a good sign that my cooking was good. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/yuma.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/yuma.gif[/img]
