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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Holy Smokes! My brain\'s on fire!
What a day!!! I am so fried!
I woke up this morning from a horrible dream.... in my dream my Father was killed and a friend of mine.
Walking downstairs, I trip, fall and crash into the baby gate, which leaves me with a purple knot the size of a golfball sticking out of my knee.
Then I went to work and messed up everything I possibly could get my hands on.
Got home and my DH was mad at me because I got home late.
Put little guy in the shower and he yells "Mommy I poop!" That was a fun mess to clean up.
Then, son goes running from shower...slips...hits head on floor. I run over pick him up, kiss the booboo and...........
he throws up all over the bathroom floor!!! I mean everywhere. All over me, all over the clean towels, pjs, floor, down the register....
After another run in with the baby gate (small cut on right heel) I put the little guy in bed and start cleaning out the shower. Only to find that I should be wearing gloves...the clue...a nasty blister on my hand.
Yikes. [img]graemlins/ukid.gif[/img]

Re: Holy Smokes! My brain\'s on fire!
I guess my day wasn't that bad after all. I only nearly choked to death on a hot chile pepper in some szechuan chicken.
Hope tomorrow is better for you. It certainly couldn't be worse.

Re: Holy Smokes! My brain\'s on fire!
Jessi, When I was a little girl I had a talking pupprt of Herman Munster from the TV show. You could pull a string and he would talk. He said the greatest stuff. So I quote..
"Cheer up, It is bound to get worse."
Love and kisses, hope tomorrow is better.
Susan

Well I think you win the Murphy's Law award of the century! But after careful analysis, I've discovered your problem...I quote:

Re: Holy Smokes! My brain\'s on fire!
Hope things are better today. I've had the poop in the bathtub 3 times this week! DD is just a year old, so it's just normal baby stuff for her. The really yucky thing is that I was in the tub with her on 2 of the occasions. I immediately called to DH to come get her so I could clean things up. On the 3rd occasion, I had stripped her down and put her in the tub with her toys and hadn't put the water in yet, because I wanted to wash my hair in the sink first. Well, I looked over and he had done it and stepped in it. Got the mess cleaned up and I had a repeat of the same thing again and again. Guess she wasn't finished when I caught her the first time. At least I wasn't in the tub with her that time! DH is convinced she is doing it on purpose.
