You know we really dont do anything for Thanksgiving - Page 2 - 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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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!

Every good wife can get her hubby to do exactly as she wants all the while allowing him to think it was all his idea. It is a skill which has been passed from mother to daughter since Eve were a lass
Thanks Kelly but hey we're going to Disney it has to be good

I couldn't agree more BTW Eve was a Wee Colleen not a lass as Eden is found in Co. Mayo at least thats what my Grams said and I am not dumb enough to agrue with her

You should Cam I stole I mean borrowed a lot of the ideas from you
As for food today we have a couple ideas we are still kicking around but lunch at the new BoG sounds like it will win out especially as we will try to devote most of the day to FL and TL. Lucille wont commit as to dinner. She loves her Eeyore and we will make sure we do at least 1 meal at CP But Tony's is in her words the one place she would be happy to eat at everyday. But our plans and Disney's can sometimes be at odds have to set up one or the other and hope for best.
As neither of us are all that big on breakfast and Club level has selection of pastries thats how we'll take care of that aspect during our stay there. Hopefully there will be a ood view of the savannah available and that will do for early mourning touring and breakfast.
Wed. the 20th is slated for DHS We didn't catch Fantasmic the last trip so that is high on list of things to see along with some of the other live action shows and this will be one of those rare times and we have agreed on this allready we will do rope drop today. The show on Disney she watched over the weekend highlighted TSMWM and she is hot to do but. When I reminded her we got there too late for FP and wait times of over 2hrs she said "Well we'll just have to go earlier!" So rope drope idea was thrown out and decided on. If Fantasmic isn't being performed then we will definately do last show at IJSS so that pyrotechnics will be more visable in dark. Fantasmic will also determine where we eat this day
We both love Crystal Palace (any meal) and Tony's (though we haven't been there for several trips now. Luke and I have come to the realization if we want to ride TSMM we have to be there at rope drop, too.

CP was first place we ate at and 1st stop IN A PARK last trip and that was chosen for Characters Lucille loves Eeyore and Tigger so sneaky class 101 start em off where you want to be and it should fall into place. Tony's had things she really enjoyed and most has Tomato sauce which she considers an essential component to her dietary needs.

We're trying CP for the first time this trip. I remembered wanting to try it so badly last time, but it just wasn't met to be. My DH loves Eeyore and my son loves Trigger, and the other son loves Piglet. Can't go wrong here. Breakfast looks yummy too.

We only did lunch and dinner there and found both very good. Selection didn't change much but character interaction was great Only Piglet didn't get it when I suggested he come by Pooh's later and help me with a Honey Ham
Sorry to have been away but normally check on when I am at work and we don't have a job as this site beats what the company says passes for TV in our crew room.
Still at DHS Osbourne lights is a serious must see and we'll probably check them out every chance we can.
Thur the 21 is AK day and as we hope to Sunrise Safari we'll more than likely make our first DHS day an early as meet up time for Safari is like ZER0 Way too Early according to my DW. She wants to know why we can't do it later Just handed her our PASSPORTERS a print out of Disney description page and let her decide. Up early we will be.
High on the agenda for today are the live action shows and parade as we just kind of skipped them last trip. In fact she has made it point that this trip she absolutely wants to check them all out just to see what they involve
For those interested Glenn Beck on his new channel has a zipper item citing unveiling of new wrist bands that act like KtK and room keys. Anybody hear or know any more about that do remember there was a thread a hile back about it being tested but hadn't read heard or seen anything else for a while now
