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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

I have to laugh at Morgan being concerned about her flip-flops. The first time Dylan rode he was convinced that someone was going to steal his flip-flops while we weren't looking.
Great update!

You got some good pics at the character spot! Sounds like a fun conversation about what Soarin is.

Hope your photopass comes in soon!

Finally caught back up! Too cute about Morgan's flip flop concerns!!!
I love the new frame with Stefanie's picture in it! I'm always dithering about frames.
I forget about Figment...it's been forever since we went there. Maybe this fall.
I hope that you get your cd soon, it's never taken too long once it's been shipped! Can't wait to read more of your adventures!!! Morgan sure seems like a sweet girl, but with a mind of her own as well!

ETA: Oh, and Cam, this is the first time I'd noticed your haircut! Super cute!! It looks great on you!

What a cute set of mouse ears Morgan got. I can never decide if I want a fancy set or just the classic. Last trip we went with the classic sets for me, DH and Cameron. I wanted his first mouse ears to be classic for some reason, but I can see us (mostly him) being creative with them in the future.

All in all sounds like a nice time at Epcot. The questions about Soarin' had be giggling a little. So cute. It's one of my favorite rides. Sorry your Potopass CD is taking so long. It is a little suspicious that it was mailed right after you complained.

I am all caught up. I wanted to respond to the last update, but I had to wait to come back as I got quite emotional when I saw Morgan's Figment picture!

I know this is a difficult trip for you, but I love how Morgan is having so much fun!!! I am looking forward to more!!!!

Sorry about your wait for the photo pass. hopefully you get them soon. After the email saying it shipped it only took 2 days for ours to show up.
I checked the website again tonight and it looks like it will be here tomorrow or Thursday at the latest.

Bummer! For now we're stuck with June. But some day in the future we'll have other options.

I thought it was precious when the computer asked for a name for her creature and she immediately typed in Stefanie.

I'm still debating on where we are going to stay - Ann has said I get to choose. I think I've narrowed it down to DVC @ Beach Club (which I'm really leaning towards) or DVC @ Wilderness Lodge. Decisions decisions!
I can't wait to see you all again. After AKLV, BC and WL are tied for my second favorites.

The ice cream looks so !! And the hidden Mickey drops are so !
Since I have that same picture of Stefanie with Chip and Dale, it made me smile to see yours in the new frame!
about the photopass problem!! I hope it arrives very soon!
I wore my pink t-shirt to my workshop today as I knew it would put me in a good mood. Tomorrow since it's my birthday and I still have the workshop, I'm wearing the orange Mickey giraffe tee that we both own. And the sandals you got me, too.

I was glad she liked Soarin' too as it is one of my faves. She's told her Mom and Dad that they have to ride it, too.

It was a very relax moment by the fountain, eating our ice creams.

I was dreading the character meets for you, but Morgan is such a sweetheart I enjoyed seeing the photos. Oh, yes. That shirt is Stefanie to a Tee! Morgan's Angel Stefanie Figment is so sweet. I agree, it seems that the Photopass people somehow overlooked your order and your e-mail prompted them to get things going. Hope it arrives sooner than another 14 days!!
I think all the pixies here are working as the CD might get here tomorrow or Thursday.

I truly believe somehow my order fell through the cracks as I've never had this long a wait, but it looks to be over soon.

Cool! I'll be sure to tell her.

I think the picture of you looking at Morgan has lots of pride in it. You are a wonderful Aunt. I can tell the love she has for you in many of the picture also.

Sending pixie you receive you CD from PhotoPass soon!!!!!!
Family is very important to us!

We watched it and she wasn't really impressed, though Luke and I enjoy it more each time.

I can't wait to post them, too, as with each update I remember photos from the CD that I want to share. It's also slowing me down on several scrapbook pages.

He said it was the best ice cream sandwich he'd ever had.

Her face was priceless and she smacked me on the arm! it was very funny...... you get your photopass cd soon!
When you've been on the ride, the leaving the flip flops makes perfect sense, but if you haven't ridden yet, it's just confusing.

We've had another heat wave move in so I'm not putting that hoodie on for several months, but I'll be happy when it cools off.

I love the little pieces of Stefanie that are around you on this trip. Ie, looking at camera straps and seeing the tinker bell pin, being able to purchase the flip flops the two of you had picked out during the colder months. Her spirit lives on. For someone I never met, she has given me inspiration and truly touched my heart. I've been reading about her for years and it felt as if I knew her. Such a blessing to not only you and your family, but to many, many people around the world. I hope the impact I leave when it's my time to go is even a speck of that which Stefanie left. I am looking forward to the rest of your TR!
so much for your kind words. I'm hoping I've learned from her how to make others feel so special.

Also great scores on the shirts and who better to meet first than the fab five? Morgan also got some great ears! Classic.

Good capture of the chocolate hidden Mickey drips. Morgan sounds like a great addition to your trip.
Morgan was a great travel companion!

The ice cream sandwich looks delicious! I may have to try to get one of those on the next trip. We never seem to hit any of the yummy snack places. But it is in the plans for our next trip.
We had planned to try more of the snacks this trip, but didn't try all of them, though I think we managed ice cream at every park. I'll have to check.

She'd love that it said she was in charge. She didn't like anyone to boss her around.

Love Morgan's ears, so cute. And what a great smile she has in all the character photos.
Hey, flip-flops are important (And of course I've also added Disneyflip-flops to my shopping list for November...if Craig asks, I'm totally blaming you )
Yup, finding hidden Mickey's is ice cream drippings...Morgan and Jason would have a blast together
I'll gladly take the blame! I've quite counting how many flip flops I have.

Her questions made what little time we had in line hilarious.

Sorry about the PhotoPass CD. Hoping you receive it real soon!
I was glad she liked it to as it's one of my faves.

She did enjoy Epcot Character Spot, but who wouldn't.

She loved moving right from one character to another.

I missed his "question" the first time, and everyone was standing there in a puzzled silence. I looked up and saw him "ask" again, and I responded, "No, they're actually 2 years apart!" Then it sunk in to everyone else what he was saying.

Luke's ice cream sandwich looks really delicious, and good for Morgan for spotting the Hidden Mickey! She learns fast!

I love her Stefanie Figment -- so sweet! And, yes, I believe that t-shirt would have been perfect for Stefanie.

Can't wait to see what else your day at Epcot has in store!
Stefanie could catch on instantly when the characters signed to us, so Luke and I learned a lot from her.

Sorry your photopass CD is taking so long to get to you! that the 7-14 days is really only a couple! Can't wait to read more!!
Morgan kept those ears in a prominent place on her head or Duffy's for much of the trip and even the flight home.

Looks like Morgan was just the right person to take this hard journey with you. Stephanie has definitely been sprinkling her brand of Pixie Dust along the way too!
to you and Luke.

Morgan was the right fit!

I'm sorry the Photopass CD is taking so long. Hopefully your package will arrive soon!
That bittersweet look touched Luke and he said he had to take the picture.

Great update!
Sounds just like Morgan!

We just kept trying to reword our explanation to end the confusion, but it just seemed to make the conversation funnier.

I love the new frame with Stefanie's picture in it! I'm always dithering about frames.
I forget about Figment...it's been forever since we went there. Maybe this fall.
I hope that you get your cd soon, it's never taken too long once it's been shipped! Can't wait to read more of your adventures!!! Morgan sure seems like a sweet girl, but with a mind of her own as well!

ETA: Oh, and Cam, this is the first time I'd noticed your haircut! Super cute!! It looks great on you!
I really hadn't seen what it looked like from the side and back (I never think to check that), so I was happy that it looked so cute.

All in all sounds like a nice time at Epcot. The questions about Soarin' had be giggling a little. So cute. It's one of my favorite rides. Sorry your Potopass CD is taking so long. It is a little suspicious that it was mailed right after you complained.
I have always toyed with getting ears, but now I'm just going to be happy with the ones that were made for Stefanie but she never got to wear.

I know this is a difficult trip for you, but I love how Morgan is having so much fun!!! I am looking forward to more!!!!
It was the most difficult trip, but Morgan sprinkled lots of love into it.
