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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Passporter store question
Not sure if this is the right place to post or not, here goes. I placed an order online on 7-10 and promptly got the notice they recieved the request and that I would get another notice saying when the order was approved and/or processed. ........... I am still waiting on the second notice. When I ordered my passporter I got everything promptly. I did notice a few weeks back they were holding everything until Dave and Jennifer got back from the cruise I think. Are they gone at this time also? I have inquired thru email to the orders@passporter.com address without a response. Gave it 24 hours and this morning I sent another inquiry.
Any suggestions on my next course of action?? [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]
I am going to give this second inquiry at least 24 hrs also. The good thing is they don't charge you until they ship the order. |

Re: Passporter store question
Hi there!
We've been driving back from Walt Disney World for the past two days... just got home late last night! I'll respond to your e-mail as soon as the e-mail is transferred (which I'm waiting on right now). [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
Thanks!

Re: Passporter store question
Okay, thanks for responding. Hope you had a good time which I have no doubt that you did. I am just trying to line up my son's 7th bday when he will get his pin, a countdown ring and some Disney dollars among other things to be thought of yet. These will be wrapped in mickey paper. We are going to see how long it takes him to catch the hint that we are going to Disney World. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Passporter store question
I haven't received any notice on the status of my order. The last notice I got told me part of it had to be backordered but some of it was available to send right away. I answered that I still wanted the backordered items and to go ahead and send the stuff that could be sent. That was 7-10-02. I haven't heard or seen anything yet. This is my 3RD inquiry on this subject. I posted here and replied to the email that was sent. Hello, Jennifer or Dave, can you help me???

Re: Passporter store question
Hi there!
I just sent you an e-mail regarding your order. We did ship the partial order, and we would have expected it to arrive. We are planning to re-ship tomorrow. Please just confirm your address in e-mail so we know we're shipping it to the correct address.
Thanks for contacting us! And we apologize for all the problems you've experienced. We hope to set all right very soon.

Re: Passporter store question
I got the email and have responded. I will be looking forward to recieving it. Thanks for the attention.
P.S. I like the Topic Review at the bottom when you reply. Either I haven't noticed it before or it is fairly new. Nice to be able to review the exact thing when you reply. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
