Take Me Out to the Mouse House **Updated 4/24** COMPLETE - Page 5 - 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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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!

I hope you have a fun trip. Spring Training games are the best. That's one of the things I miss a lot about not living in Florida anymore, besides Disney, are going to Spring Training Games. WWOS is awesome. We got to catch the Braves during Batting Practice on a day my sister had a Cheerleading Competition at WWOS. I'm trying to get DH to go see a Red Sox game at WWOS with me. Sharon you're forgiven for being a Yankees fan, but the Yankees can keep that Trader Johnny Damon

Sounds like you have a great trip planned. Even if you do like the Yankees ! (Sox fan here.) I can't wait to see your pix of the F&GF! BTW, what did you finally decide for your 4 Parks pix?
I get sucked up into a work vortex for a while and I come back and Sharon is planning, no, wait, IN Disney World yet again. A crushing blow to my vacation dreams. And baseball. Except it's the Yankees and I am well, a convert to the Red Sox. With a partial shout out to the Orioles. Yeah Johhny Damon looks hot and all that, but he's a traitor. So, they can have his hotness. I think I have shoes as old as him anyway.

And I hate it when Ticketmaster violates me too.
Thank you, I'm not the only one who feels Johnny Damon can stay in NY. Johnny Damon broke my heart (and I'm weird, I was excited not only b/c of how hot he was before he grew out the hair, but his b-day is the day before mine). The last BosSox Game I saw before he left us he had the day off, and I was there wearing my Johnny Damon shirt too. It's ok, it's all torn up and is a car rag now.
Thank goodness Heather, I thought I was the only Cubs fan on PP Nice to have another Cubbie on here (I miss Kerry Wood and Felix Pie, mostly Kerry), and we defanitely need a miracle on winning a World Series

Understand about feeling betrayed - Damon stayed in KC until he got his name out there and found someone who could afford to pay him $$$$ (like that could happen in KC).

I can feel your pain with him too I just think his book title fits him to a T! I just don't get it where he said he wouldn't leave Boston, or said he only wanted to stay in Boston or go back and play for KC, and then turns to the Yankees. I guess he is all about the $$$. That was one book I thoroughly enjoyed reading and couldn't put down until he left Boston. Lucky Drew Barrymore got to pinch his rear in Fever Pitch. I fast foward any scene with him in it now.
