Brent and Liz's " I wonder what it would be like to spend Valentine's day with Cinderella? err I mean at Disney? PTR! - Page 12 - 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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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. 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!

I got SO far behind here, what with Christmas and then a wonderful trip with my DH's family courtesy of my mother-in-law to the Dreams resort in Cancun/Riviera Maya. I am one lucky daughter-in-law!
Now...back to Brent & Liz. I LOVE all of the t-shirts. One of these days I am going to get my act together and make some of my own. They are fantastic and love the addition of a Snow White tee for Liz.
We leave 3 weeks from tomorrow and I feel like I am behind the 8 ball as far as getting things organized for our trip. I guess I know what needs to be at the top of my to-do-list this weekend!
And a belated Happy Birthday to you Liz....you look fantastic

Wednesday (8th) we'll be at DHS. We're considering lunch at Prime Time -- any desire to join us? Hopefully our friend GrayGables (Dawn) will be joining us.
Ok Friends! We talked about it over that dinner that Brent has been begging me to go to all week.....sigh, the things I do to keep him happy. (Truth is he didn't know he was taking me until I mentioned it here a few days ago...LOL) We decided that there is absolutley NO WAY that you guys are getting out of meeting with us. It just has to be! We would love to meet with Dawn too! I will PM you both tomorrow to try to work out some details and hook you up with our cell phone numbers. We are going to have to figure out how to get an ADR together at 50's....if we make seperate ADR's we prob won't get seated together. We are both super psyched about meeting you tho.....I can't wait! I am not against meeting up earlier in the trip at some point either...maybe a drink or a dole whip?
love love love the shirts! omg....you are SO talented! cindy is the one making all the dining ressies, so get in touch with her. drink? did someone mention a drink? he he he...i am SO there.... um, cindy is very fond of lapu lapus at the poly (he he he...she is gonna KILL me....). perhaps we will have several meets...one can never have too many meets, ya know....

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT!!!! I am planning on sending a PM today and I will link all involved so that we are all in the loop!
Drinks....yep! But for passporter interests, of course, we are talking Diet Coke, Sprite, some juice, ect.
Sorry, I've been busy and away from the PP boards. Looks like we can get a table for 5 at 12:15 on the 8th. I don't have my confirmation numbers handy so I can't book it tonight but will do so in the next day or two. Looking forward to it!
