A Trip full of Be Our Guest food, Greek food, and Seafood (August 2016) - Page 4 - 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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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!

Mark and I headed to Be Our Guest and got in the check in line. My reservation was for 4:10. It was 4:00. Heather was on her way, but still not in the park. I told them that a member of my party was running late. They asked how late. I told them she would be another 10-15 minutes and she was fine with that. Then the next question, I have a friend that joined us today. Could he eat too? Yes! Hurray! Now hurry up Heather! She practically ran through Magic Kingdom and arrived at 4:30. They checked us in and soon we were waiting to be greeted and led to our table.
We waited a few more minutes and soon enough we were called and seated in the ballroom. I have eaten a Ton be Our Guest several times and each time I am always seated in the same spot within a table of the place I sat previously. This time was no acception. Heather was super excited because she had yet to eat at Be Our Guest.
I ordered the pork chop and it was very good. I don't remember what Heather ordered, but Mark ordered the steak. At least I think he did.
We enjoyed our dinner very much and pictures with the Beast will be coming later. Our bellies full and happy to have had a rest we headed out into the park for more adventures.
We had a Fastpass for some Princesses and we had a few other adventures as well. You will just have to wait for those until another day.
October 6, 2017-Enjoying an amazing dinner at Victoria & Albert's with PP's Dot and Drew
My TR from my most recent trip is now underway. Includes: Universal Studios Florida, Disney World and Sea World Orlando Trifecta TR -Updated December 10th! TR is now COMPLETED!
So glad everyone made it and got in for the meal at BOG. I love the pork chop there and plan to get it when we eat there on our next trip. I'm guessing Cinderella meet 'n greet because those are our families second favorite mice, Gus and Jaq. (BTW Mickey is the number one mouse. )

Glad you enjoyed your meal at BOG!! I love that place!! It's so funny that you always get the same area!

I can't help but wonder how many other people end up in the same place too.

I have had that pork chop twice and it sure is good, I agree! I actually thought of you when I saw those mice.

I completely forgot that Mark and I ran into Gaston after our cinnamon roll feast.
I haven't the slightest idea why he is pointing at my chin.
Our Beast picture. Heather was excited to finally get to meet him!
Oh and Mark and Heather didn't know each other prior to dinner, so they got introduced. I have a feeling that they will probably run into each other from time to time.
Heather's favorite princess in Cinderella so I got us a Fastpass for that. She was super excited. So those of you that guessed that got it right! She was gracious and lovely as always.
Snow White was with her and she was just the best. She loved that I was a teacher and talked about how she taught the Dwarves. She asked Heather if she was a teacher too and I told her no. Snow White asked how we knew each other and I said school in Indiana. She seemed surprised by that.
Here are the Ariel pictures.
And Mark and I at the Festival of Fantasy Parade.
Mark was around during this time but it was nice to get some pictures with just Heather and me.
The three of us went on Buzz Lightyear and Mark tried to show me how to score all the points but my blaster wasn't working.
Later that evening we rode again and this time I just scored really bad.
We then had a Fastpass for Heather and I for 7Dwarves Mine Train. I really didn't want to ride it, so I loaned my band to Mark and he and Heather went on it. We also went on Pirates of the Caribbean again. I kind of hit an exhaustion wall. We found a place to sit and I had a strawberry lemonade slushy from the Cheshire Cat Cafe. We also rested a bit by going on the Peoplemover and Carousel of Progress. Mark was on the hunt for a Strawberry Sundae. We found a spot in the crowd to watch the fireworks and chatted until ready.
