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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Everyone raves about the souffle at Palo. I've nver had souffle before, but I do NOT like cake : and I learned the hard way on the Tower of Terror not to try something just because "everyone else likes it". So ... can you describe what a souffle tastes like? Is it like cake but more dense or more airy?

try googling it. I cant help as I have never tried it before but good luck. If you decide to try it at Palo's let us know how it is! It gets really great reviews!!
Walt Disney World has become a touchstone for me, a constant in a world where everything changes. Again and again I have come back to this place, grounding myself, communing with all the people I've been.
A souffle is like a cake baked to order, but under done. It will be crusty on top and super moist in the middle if it is done right!
That's a great description from Heather. You realise you can always order that and something as well from the dessert menu if you don't like it? That's the beauty of cruising - you can eat as much or as little as you like, and you're not paying per dish for it. It's a perfect place to try things out.
The description above is the closest I could give. I'd order 1 of the souffle's try a bite, if you like it great if its not your thing, order a different dessert to try. We ordered Panna Cotta because that is our favorite dessert on board and ended up getting 1 of every dessert because our server at Palo said we needed to be spoiled LOL I think he just wanted to see if we could eat them all or not LOL.
Cruising is great you can try different things and not pay per plate and feel guilty if you don't finish or only try 1 bite of something.

Now, that had not occurred to me and it is perfect Thanks!

You have to order the souffle pretty early on in the meal because they take a while. The undercooked cake description is sheer perfection; that's exactly how i'd describe it. They do have a vanilla bean and chocolate sauce that they pour in the middle of it at your table. I'm weird and i get mine on the side. I don't like things interfering with my non-cake/cake! They had an AWESOME Pistacio dessert on our last cruise, I highly recommend that!
I hear you about not really liking cake. I don't either. That being said, I ordered the souffle. It was interesting, but not my favorite. But if you have never tried it before- defintiely give it a try (and order another dessert just in case )
Like Amy said, the cruise is a perfect place to try things you have never had before. We tried the panna cotta because everyone raved about it - and I hated it. But the chocolate souffle was delicious...I chocolate, though. Palo is awesome because the servers really encourage you to try new things, and give you fantastic suggestions. And if you don't like it, get something else... or a lot of something elses!

I think souffle is a bit more like a pudding than a cake.....but it is like eating heaven! Definitely give it a try!!
Most chocolate souffle recipes don't use any flour (or very little), which makes them very un-cakelike IMO. The base batter is mostly egg yolks, butter, and chocolate. The egg whites are whipped up and folded into the base right before baking to make the whole thing very light and airy. The eggs are cooked through, so it isn't really an underdone cake at all. The texture is a bit hard to describe. It's not bread-y like cake, but it's not smooth like pudding, either. It does, however, melt in your mouth, which is why I totally agree with the "eating heaven" comment!
