10 Nights of Magic in The Orlando Trifecta-TR - COMPLETE!! 12/10 - Page 77 - 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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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!

You indeed had a long day. I love riding the carousel, but can’t get my husband on it as he says it’s for kids, but it’s such a fun relaxing ride. Glad you were able to ride a few new rides and what a great idea to go for a drink to escape the crowds.

How fun that you got in so many rides on Space Mountain! I love that ride, but I find the jerkiness is a little hard on my neck as I get older . So for that reason, once or twice in a row is my limit.
What a great evening! How fun that you rode the carousel. Great idea about leaving the park and taking the monorail to GF for a glass of wine.
The carroulsel was a lot of fun even with so many young kids on it and many of them complaining and some crying. It was late and I'm sure quite tired. It was a good decision to go to the GF for a nice break!

I enjoyed the nice break over at the GF and even better with a relaxing ride on the monorail! I certainly enjoyed SM on the return with so many rides. I've done this in the past for EMHs.

Sounds like a great night at the MK after taking your break at Mizner's! I do love having a relaxing drink at night in that lounge.
I love Mizner's and great decision to do this with a nice break! It was a great return to the MK and SM afterwards!

It was a fun time on the carroulsel with the exception of some of the noisy and complaining kids who were ready for bed! The return to the MK and many rides on SM was a lot of fun. I enjoyed my time for a break over at the GF so much as so relaxing!

Glad you were able to spend some time at Mizner’s to escape the crowds! And 8-10 rides on Space Mountain? Wow!
Glad I made the decision to go to the GF for a nice and relaxing time for an hour! Space Mountain was so much fun and so many rides as it got closer to park closing and the crowds thinned out!

I can see your point about SM as it does it to me as well but enjoy the ride so much! Glad I got in so many rides!

8-10 rides on Space Mountain! WOW!!!
It was an enjoyable and quite relaxing time at Mizner's and loved being in the a/c for some time! I can't believe I got so many rides in. I wasn't going to stop until the ride shut down for the night!

SM was so much fun and even with that many rides and never tired of it! I'm glad I went to Mizner's to get out of the crowds and relax a bit with a nice glass of wine and especially A/C!

Just catching up, somehow I lost track of your TR. I thought I was subscribed. Loved all the fireworks shots. Ahh a glass of savignon blanc, one of my very favorites.

Always time to catch up! Glad you enjoyed my fireworks photos as there were quite a few of them! I enjoy a nice glass of Sauvignon Blanc and especially with the heat and humidity of Florida as it's so refreshing! Two of my faves are from New Zealand with Kim Crawford and Oyster Bay and are reasonable.
