Best places to buy scrapbooking supplies in WDW - 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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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.

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 feel your pain but I refuse to divulge how many I took (it involves a little muliplication of yours)
My only pain is, we didn't take as many as we'd've liked (Jeremy, our third musketeer, took only a handful, by comparison).
I once read an article in the back of a NAtional Geographic magazine about the pictures taken for another article int hat issue; some thirty pictures had been selected, and paid for (to the tune of high-four and low-five digits apiece!) ... out of the thousands the very professional, skilled photographer had actually shot. They showed all the rolls of film he'd used, and ... I think the bag they'd've been packed into, would have to be bigger than my luggage for that Disney trip. JUST for the film, not the cameras themselves!
And when my DGF got her first digital camera - an old, obsolete Olympus, one of the first non-professional digital P& cameras made, with maybe a .2 megapixel sensor and 4 or 8 megabytes of memory (IF that), good for 20 shots at most - I suddenly realised, that digital cameras made that sort of practise feasible for "ordinary" people, without breaking the bank!
During our '01 trip, just DGF and I, we shot some thirty rolls of film between us. And never could afford to get them all developed, before they "spoiled", because my camera used "Advantix" film rolls ... which cost $15 per roll to develop, single-print ...! The fact that we actually got to have almost NONE of our pictures from that trip really hurt. Still hurts, in fact.
But digital? Digital is stupendously cost-effective. Right now, my new camera (actually a video camera, though it can take credible stills, too) has a whopping 16GB memory card in it. That's good for over ten thousand stills, on top of the video I can shoot and record directly to miniCD.

I thought I was being very ruthless last night in tagging for print for scrapbooking the 2010 trip....493 pics for 4 days...at least 82 2 page layouts ugh!
Hehehe. DGF did a scrapbook of our trip - 9 days, 8 nights - and it came to more than 300 2-page layouts, across something like 4 or 5 volumes ...! And she only finished it about six months ago ... even though our trip was nearly two years ago, to the day!!

Oh my I feel so much more normal now.
Dad and I used to shoot film all the time, but there are rolls he would wait on to get developed and they spoiled. For some reason on his Nikon I could NEVER get the film to load properly - so Id think it was loaded and later nothing, as a teen I bawled over that a few times - so Dad got me a fuji camera that was auto load SWEET, then a Pentax for High school grad that was full camera but would auto load the film.
I didnt go digital till 05 but oh I love it. Im weird though because Ive had so many computer problems I dont rewrite memory cards or even the CF. I treat them as negatives and bought cases for them from Adorama. That said I have 5K pics to pair down from 09 and another 5K from 10. But I have a beautiful Epson R1900 that prints 12x12 so I take a lot of pics as future scrapbooking paper. The Epcot ball detail is incredible background paper. Mom and Dad went with us in 09...when I told him how many pics Id shot, the first thing he said was how many rolls would that have been? We did the money figure and it is just unbelievable how things have changed so fast. I am scanning old slides and our big trip of my life as a kid Mount Rushmore/SD has maybe less than 100 slides for the ENTIRE 2 weeks. Now I shoot that for CHristmas morning.
08 scrapbook is going to take 5 books. THe 4 its currently in wont fit in my new divided shelves I bought at Hobby Lobby to hold em they are um heheh a little thick? In my defense I started scrapping 08 also for an almost blind mom with huge pics - and didnt want to destroy my work when she couldnt see them.
