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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

When I work the evening shift, I don't get home until midnight. I am usually starving because I eat dinner around 5 or 6pm. Tonight I made a really good midnight snack. I took two Eggo waffles and then topped them with vanilla yogurt, fresh strawberries, and whipped cream. Very delicious!
cheese (preferably Velveeta and cheddar) melted with salsa and tortilla chips...not at all healthy I know, considering the salt content...but it so yummy, especially with lots of cilantro added in.
A close second would be a good tomato sliced up with fresh basil, fresh mozzarella cheese and jus a drizzle of both very good quality extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Little salt, little fewsh ground pepper.......MMMMMMMMMM!
It is totally dependant on my mood. It could be something sweet such as cake or pudding, something crunchy/salty such as chips and dip, something loaded with carbs such as mashed potatoes, etc. There have been times when I would given just about anything for a big bowl of soup, a meatloaf or meatball sandwich or even chinese food.
Am I the only one who really doesn't midnight snack? I very rarely eat anything after dinner time, although occasionally I do end up having something heavy in the carbs in the early evening if I'm really craving stuff.
I had to stop the night time eating to lose some weight, but I don't mind talking about it!!! I love ice cream, chocolate covered pretzels, but typically my late night snakc would be cheese on Triscuts. Delicious!!!

I try not to eat too much after dinner. I do moreso in the summertime, when I make hot air popped popcorn more frequently(only 90 calories per 3 cups!!)

I am trying REALLY hard not to snack TOO too much after dinner because I don't want to, all of a sudden, gain all of my pregnancy weight in the course of one week.
HOWEVER . . . lately I have been known to sneak a slice of cheesecake. And pumpkin pie w/ Cool Whip. And PB&J sandwiches. And handfuls of shelled, dry roasted, salted peanuts. And frozen french fries right out of the freezer. And 2-3 plain dinner rolls.
A bowl of cereal...Quaker oatmeal squares mixed with bran flakes flaxseed and skim milk!!! But if its been a hard day...then all bets are off and I go in for the kill with a big honkin peice of dark chocolate!!! YUMMO!!!
