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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Legend
Hii = Hidden Immunity Idol
TC = Tribal Council
IN= Immunity Necklace
EI= Exile Island
SI= Special Idol
Camp: Everyone is in shock, Hannah was in tears and feel a bit guilty that she was still there and not Jessica. Zeke thought it was an amazing Tribal. The next morning Ken finds the legacy advantage in his bag.
Reward Challenge: Jeff says Day 31 is a perfect time for love.
Sunday: her husband Jeff
Bret: his Dad Don
Jay: his Sister Maloney
Hannah: her Mom Liz
Adam: his Brother Evan
David: his Dad Doug
Ken: his brother William
Zeke: his Dad Sam
Will: his Mom Irene
As Adam hugs his Brother he tells him he has an advantage to steal a reward but he can’t take a loved one from any of them.
The Challenge: They must race through obstacles tethered on a rope. The winner gets a barbecue at camp with their loved one.
The rope tangles start immediately and Ken and Jay take an early lead. Zeke is third and then Hannah. Sunday falls far behind and so does Will. David is back in it. Ken gets stuck under a beam. Adam is stuck too. Jay takes the lead.
Zeke is right behind Jay. Ken finally gets loose. Hannah gets loose too. Adam is still stuck but David gets through. Jay wins it. Jeff tells him to pick someone to join him and he picks Will because of a promise. Then Jeff tells him to pick another and he picks Sunday, Jeff then tells him he can pick one more and he picks Adam since he didn’t use the advantage.
Camp: Adam and his brother talk and he tells him that their mom was having side effects to some of the meds and had to stop them. He says it’s worse and they took her on a break from the treatment to let her regain her strength. He says she’s been better in the two weeks since they stopped treatment, but she’s not getting treatment. Evan says the whole family loves Survivor so they’re happy he’s living his dream there. Evan says their mom told him to tell him she’s getting a lot of strength from her. Adam says he wants to use this as inspiration to keep fighting. Evan and Adam thank Jay and Adam says it meant a lot and he will never forget it. He gives Jay his advantage.
David notices a meeting on the beach. He points it out to Will. Will says seeing his mom reminds him he needs to play this game and people don’t give me credit. Will tells David he thinks Zeke could beat them all. Will tells David he wants to work and says Zeke needs to go tonight. He wants to flip the script. Will says it’s risky but he’s not going to be a goat. Adam gives thumbs up to it too. David is excited and hopes they can send Zeke home tonight.
Immunity Challenge: They hold two handles with a heavy bar and if you drop, it breaks a tile.
David, Hannah, Will and Bret fall out fast. Sunday falls out too. Zeke’s falls. There are three – Adam, Jay, and Ken. It’s been just four minutes and the three are still there. Ken’s bar slips and so does Jay’s. Ken drops and he’s out. Now it’s Jay and Adam. Jay drops and Adam wins individual immunity.
Camp: David talks to Hannah and Adam and says let’s all vote Zeke no matter what anyone else says. Jay asks why David is so calm and wonders what’s up. Zeke says they are too calm and assumes that David has another idol. He plans to throw someone else under the bus. Zeke suggests they go for Ken and the others agree. They tell Will too and he agrees Ken talks to Will later and he asks how he feels.
Will says the other group doesn’t respect him. Ken says he needs to know if Will has integrity. Ken says he wants to win for his little girl. Will says he’ll vote Zeke because he can beat any of them. Ken says he has one chance to believe him.
Will thinks this conversation is excruciating but says he has to deal with this crap to make a big move. Will tells Ken that they’re going for him tonight. Ken says he doesn’t understand that. He’s pissed. Ken asks Jay to help him get some driftwood.
Will panics and says there’s about to be a rumble. Ken says Will told him they were voting for him. Will says you’re blowing up my game. Will says he makes moves and others take credit. The others are upset that he revealed the plan to “test” Will.
Will says he’s done with this and wants Ken done tonight. He says this guy preached nobility and integrity and then pulled this. Hannah and Adam tell him he screwed up and now Will won’t vote with them. The other group decides to target Hannah since they’re expecting Ken.
Jeff asks if they’re still locked in two sides against each other. David says there are and one swing vote. Sunday says Bret, Jay, Zeke and herself are on one side and Will is in between. Will says he wanted to flip on Zeke but Ken told the whole tribe the plan so everyone knows what’s going on. Jeff says the youngest kid gets to make the big decision. Sunday says Will wants to play hard and doesn’t want to feel like he’s with the big kids. That makes Will snap and he says everyone treats him like a kid and that’s the problem. He says he is a serious contended and this is insane. Zeke says he wanted to play with Will and they aligned and he protected him before. Adam says Zeke is saying he protected him and Zeke says Will has saved him too. Jay says he never looked down on Will and talked to him like an equal and didn’t try to take credit when they took out Michaela together.
avid says Will wants something on his resume and Jay is trying to hand that to him. David says this vote will have Will’s name on it. Bret says they will build you up and vote you out. Adam says our side has an equal partnership in how moves are made. He saw Will can have an equal say. Will says when there are five people, they will fight. Hannah says there has been a lot of fluffing Will up by the other side. Jay says go with your gut, I won’t fluff you. Will says Jay is the one who has showed him respect. They vote.
Jeff tally’s the votes and then ask if anyone wants to use a Hidden Immunity Idol and Adam stands up and reaches in to his pants apologizing for carrying it there to Jeff and hands it to him and says he is using it for Hannah. No votes for Hannah count, Jeff reads the votes.
Hannah, Hannah, Hannah, Hannah, Zeke, Zeke, Zeke and just like that Zeke is out. Again I’m not sure on how I feel about this. I kind of liked him but Kind of didn’t.
So next week Will try’s to take charge and Adam has other ideas, So till then, hug you loved one tight my Surviving Peeps

Post Thanks / Like
I love that Adam said he wouldn't use his advantage. Good strategy. I also like that Jay used his picks wisely. It was interesting that they didn't show us any footage except for that of Adam and his brother. They usually show the loved ones more than that.
Ken....what were you thinking? Ugh. I've been rooting for you, but you made a dumb mistake. It could have been you last night.
I guess Adam didn't need to use his idol. We watched to see who voted for who and Zeke actually had more votes than Hannah.....but they had no way to know which way Will would vote, so it was safest.
Do you think that was one of the fastest II eliminations ever? Nobody could hold on long.
Those family visits were very touching. We were interested to see what happened with Adam's mom, so looked it up.
SPOILER
Adam's mom dies two days after the filming was over. She never got to see him on TV.

I wondered how things were going for her as well. Such a shame she didn't ever see her son follow his dreams. Figured with treatment being stopped that it would not have a positive outcome but still heartwrenching.
