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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Liz I completely agree with your logic! And doesn't Brent know that in small writing on all marriage license are the rules of marriage like the husband carries the luggage and the wife is always right? Tee hee.
I think Liz forgot to mention, we received a post card from the Princesses. I just wrote to my girl, Cinderella, had her gather her friends up and get this around for us.
Brent needs the bigger suitcase for all those Cinderella shirts!! And besides, your clothes take up a lot less room now, Liz!
But seriously, why aren't you packed and gone? Isn't that the rule - suitcases available, DME info in hand, GO!!!

I am glad you all see my logic in the luggage/leaving situation! I thought it was pretty straight forward. Evidently Brent does not see it that way....thus we are still in Michigan!

Ya know I am glad you brought that up! How is it men always claim they don't know these things......its right there in black and white. Right next to putting the toilet seat down, taking out the garbage, foot massages on demand..........

LOL.....actually.....he couldn't find light blue. Its dark blue! Sigh.......mine is black with mickey ears. Ya know, Brents older, more worn out, SMALLER one! BUT in the case of going to Disney I would pack in walmart bags if nessesary!!! Heck, some days I would leave without packing!!!!! Maybe I wil bring the blue one when I sneak in with you in march!! LOL
Ok, on to more important stuff.....hee hee
6 more work days!!! Well, actually the middle one is a double so I have 7 more shifts, five 12 hour shifts and two 8 hour shifts but I am working the two 8's back to back as a double shift so I only have to GO IN six more times!!!! Wish I could just go in now.....work them all consecutively and go home!!! (the home in Florida!!) I just know Tink is missing me and struggling with how long I have been away! I NEED to get back!! And I think, possibly, Cindy has wondered where Brent might be. I have had this nagging need to go to Boma while we are there, I have had it before, Brent hasn't. I think he would like it. Wonder if we could still get in? For some reason I am really looking fwd to our Whispering Canyon ADR too. Can you tell I'm hungry,,,,,,better get some lunch, then off to work! Knock down the number of work days, baby!!!
Sooooo looking fwd to meeting up with our PP friends at 50's!!!! I can't wait!!!!!!! Bring on the crazy antics!!!
