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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Most romantic--okay I wasn't with my boyfriend, husband or significant other, but with my best friend--we had dinner at CG, which took us two hours -- then right before dessert we ordered a bottle of iron horse fairy tale cuvee champagne and took our glasses out onto the observation deck to watch Wishes in the drizzling rain. It was a wonderful evening. We'll be doing it again this year!

My hubby and I had a recent romantic moment when down in Disney on our Honeymoon. We stayed at Epcot one Friday night for the Extra Evening hours during the Food and Wine Festival. It was 10 at night, and the park was pretty quiet. My hubby and I just sat in France sipping a glass of wine enjoying the scenery. We felt like we were really in France for just a little bit. Very Romantic!

Last time we were there we (and the kids) went to Pleasure Island to have dinner at Raglan Road. It was POURING out. With my direction skills being somewhat not my forte I exited the bus and we ran around PI for what seemed like forever looking for RR! The kids were laughing and singing Hanna Montana songs together like little movie stars. When I finally found RR it was very near where we had got off the bus, I had walked us around in the rain forever when we were about 45 seconds from the bus stop! LOL We were so wet the waitress actually brought us warm towels to dry off with! It was a great night!

We're going in April for a second honeymoon and so far I've planned dinner at California Grill, Segway Tour in Epcot, and dinner at Le Cellier. We want to do things we normally wouldn't (or can't) do with our children. I'm thinking about surprising him with a couple's massage at SSR. We will also spend more time at Pleasure Island which we haven't done since our honeymoon trip 7 years ago.

I AGREE!!
My hubby and I went on a trip to WDW w/o kids a couple of years ago. We ate at Tony's where the waiter even made a napkin 'candle' for a romantic touch. Once we got to sit on the porch at TTS and ate dessert as Spectromagic went by, then we stood on Main Street and watched Wishes for the first time during a drizzle. Even though other people were around, he put his arms around me and I felt like we were the only ones there. Another favorite is walkng WS @ Epcot and stopping at every country to nibble or get a drink. We also love to sit in the hideaway spots tucked along the walkways at AK and enjoy a frozen lemonade in the peace and quiet. I also recommend timing reservations at Narcoose's or Cal Grill so you can watch Wishes- verrry romantic.

I recently went on a romantic trip with my bf nick to disney. It was only his 2nd time. For romance, watching Illuminations and Wishes. Also riding some open rides by ourselves during EMH. We had a terrific time and when we get married we plan to take a honeymoon at disney. If really want something special, go to victoria and albert's at Grand Floridian. Hope u have a good time.

My husband and I stayed at the Caribbean beach for our honeymoon. one of the most romantic memories i have is when he bought a bottle of champagne at old port royal and we sat in a hammock on the beach and drank champagne in the evening!

another great memory is eating at Tony's Town Square. when we were seated at our table they had decorated it with mickey confetti and flowers! at the end of our meal, the pastry chef himself came to our table with a massive dessert sampler plate! (on the house) in the middle was a white chocolate mickey disc with "Congratulations!" written on it! it was so wonderful of them to do that for us!!! we have gone back there to eat every time we visit the world since then!

Just something very simple, but...

DH and I had a very, very romantic morning last Sunday. We had an early breakfast at the Kona cafe at the Poly (sat on the same side of the table and talked and laughed), then went down and walked the beaches. We rolled up our pantlegs and strolled at the water's edge, just luxuriating in the morning sunlight and the magic of the castle towers in the distance. We were the only ones on the beach at that hour, and it just felt...well, magical. It wasn't costly or elaborate, but it was pretty romantic standing on the white sand, just the two of us, kissing and writing our names in the sand with our toes.
