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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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: Ok gotta ask!!!
It was wicked! The season really started out slow, but boy, has it picked up.
Anyone else see the irony in what Tony told Ralph about dating his ex-girlfriend vs. what the Councilman told Tony just a few weeks ago?
How about Ro and Carmella talking behing peoples backs and then being all nicey nice.
Junior seems to be a pro at faking dementia. He must have learned a thing or two from Livia.
We won't even get into the Ralphie situation. [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

Re: Ok gotta ask!!!
Yeah they took off annoyingly slow and now the next few episodes should be good because the season ends in December!

<font size="2" face="Comic Sans MS, Arial">Hey somebody had to pick up the slack [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] ! I had read that Meadow would be the one to do it; but evidently they changed their minds.
Talk about dissention in the ranks!! First Silvio a few weeks ago....Paulie well Paulie all along really......
Yeah HOW 'BOUT that Ralphie scenario? [img]graemlins/ukid.gif[/img] For a moment I thought they were going to give him a "profound spiritual experience"... [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] ...... |

Do you think it helped that he went to see the priest? I don't.
I'm sure glad he was around long enough to make that phone call to Paulie's mom. That was a riot!!! |

Re: Ok gotta ask!!!
Oh yeah, it was one heck of an episode!
Did anyone else think about a connection between the stripper girlfriend Ralphie killed last season and Tony's beating of him last night? This popped in my head after last night's episode.
Can't wait for more about Furio and Carmella [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Comic Sans MS, Arial">That was something I didn't think of until you mentioned it. It truly is a fitting ending for Ralphie, isn't it, after what he did to that girl? The only ironic thing is that Tony didn't beat him over the dead girl, just the dead horse. Last night's episode was very shocking. I hope Ralphie got religion before he met the grim whacker. |

Re: Ok gotta ask!!!
With the problems Ralphie had with Paulie, I bet it is thought that Paulie did it.
And Junior was a classic. "Can I have some ice cream?" I busted up laughing. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Ok gotta ask!!!
Don you finally made it [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] ! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Totally agree about Paulie being accused.
Yep, we all agree that Corrado Erico 'Uncle Junior' Soprano is quite the case.

<font size="2" face="Comic Sans MS, Arial">Oh definitely Alicia. I just like Joe Pantoliano alot and hated to see him go. He went to see the priest, then started that $20K Scholarship in Jackie, Jr.'s name (amends?); then proposed to Ro!! [img]graemlins/ukid.gif[/img]
Think Christopher will hold it over Tony's head later in the season?

<font size="2" face="Comic Sans MS, Arial">How about that scene with Carmella watching the Food Channel and Mario Batalli turns into Furio?!
I wonder if she isn't sidetracked though now that she's got her hand on one of Tony's cash stashes? |

Re: Ok gotta ask!!!
I saw / Heard an interview with Joe Panteleon(sp) Ralphie this morning on Imus. He was great. He did say that nobody knows if he lit the fire or not. They have done that meny times on the show. Leave a story out there so you have to think about it. Like the Russian, Is he dead, or whatever happened to him.
