greetings from the new king and queen!! PART III - Page 14 - 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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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!

So he came over and she left. It is now 6:30 here and I haven't heard from her. DH was so sweet and slept on the floor with her child so he wouldn't be frightened.
Hope she's ok and back home with her child! DH!

First there my evil sister...she is just plain mean and deserves all that is given to her, someday she might learn humility but I doubt it...so off with 'er head! (I have six other sisters, really who would miss one??)
Second..all the bad drivers who had the nerve to get in front of me this morning as I ran our princess to the Doctors office for new glasses, and then to school by 9am in order to take part in state testing, if she had been late she wouldn't have been able to participate, and would have been stuck in a make up session.
There has to be more, but that's all I can think of this am, I will update again later!
Your highness, please do not leave us, as then we would be left having to go through a voting process, and there would be hanging chads, the next candidate might be afraid of the monkeys....UGH! Oh, and because no one could replace you!
OOOHHH! Can I nominate my sister? PLLEEEAAASSSEEE?

Well, DH has a new computer at home, so I may only be able to get online occasionally for the next week or so.....I'll have to pry him off with a crowbar!!!!! I'll do some thinking and researching and come up with another tasty FAB for later! Hope all are doing well.....

Any word on your client? Is she okay and/or has someone contacted you about the child???? I'd be calling all her emergency numbers if I were in your shoes.

I have some suggestions for beheadings too, but I won't mention them here, maybe I should PM the King???

The daycare mom was released from the ER but they don't know why she couldn't breathe. She is home resting and then has to follow up with her Dr. today. Her son just stayed here for school today after being here all night. Thank you for the pixies!

I gave up on boxes and decided to get the bills of my mind. I have neglected them for a couple weeks. Just didn't want to know the numbers.
All accounts are fine. Put a new bill on auto-pay. I love auto-pay, wish they all could be on auto-pay.
Any word on your client? Is she okay and/or has someone contacted you about the child???? I'd be calling all her emergency numbers if I were in your shoes.
The trick is that I am her emergency contact. They have no family in town, just a few friends and co-workers. DH and I are the ones who would take custody of her son if something happens to her. She is back home and trying to get into the Dr. Her son is here with me for school right now.

I know how she must feel about not having family in town in case of emergency.
Been doing it for 18 years. Just spent 3 months with just me and DS in a new town, Thank Heavens no accidents or big illnesses.
I hope she gets into the doctors soon. Can be many reasons for feeling unable to breath.
