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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

What do you do with leftovers while in Disney??

Do you take them with you??? We rarely do because we figure it will get bad sitting in the stroller for the rest of the night. We did bring DD's leftovers though and she would snack on them as we walked around.

I take Ziploc bags with me, for the fruit and cold items the kids don't finish, so they can eat them later.

If we're going straight back to the resort, then we'll take them with us. We stay DVC, so we have a fridge to stick them in. Makes for good snacking if "someone" (not me!) gets hungry later in the evening.

I've taken desserts back before and have tried to eat them the next day, but that's about it.

We don't have kids and they would be the ones most likely to have leftovers. We usually don't have much in the way of leftovers at Disney. We're pretty hungry after all of that walking around. You'd think we'd gain weight with all of the wonderful lunch, dinners, and snacks. But we don't. Walking 6-10 miles a day keeps it off.

Should do that at home.

We've only taken them a couple times - (if we're going right back to the resort to put them in the fridge) although only once have we eaten anything we've taken back - and that was Joey and Thomas eating dessert for breakfast the next day.

If it's something like pizza or a dessert, we usually do take those with us, but normally we leave leftovers. We typically share our meals, so there isn't a lot left over.

We don't generally have anything left over. If we did, I would probably only take something from the food court to the room - I always worry about things going bad.

When w went, we really didn't have a lot of leftovers. The couple of times we did, it was the dessert and since we made sure that was cake, then we would sit and have that for a snack later while we were taking a break in the park or after we got back to the room. A couple of times, we saved the bread from the beginning of the meal and snacked on that later. (LOVE the pretzel bread at CRT!!)

Whatever I don't finish I give to DBF first, then we usually toss the rest. I hate wasting it but there just doesn't seem to be a practical way to keep it while touring the parks.

i dont refriderate my left-overs....even at home, if i dont eat them within 6 hours, they get thrown away...

i plan on bringing some plastic cutlery with me to keep in my backpack...

i am an extremely light eater lately, i am assuming because of all the medication i am on...and i dont like wasting food...i feel guilty leaving half a plate of food, especially knowing i will be eating again anyway...

i have alot of TS meals planned, so if i dont have one following directly, and i have ALOT of food left over, i will take it with me, to eat as i go, because i cant bring myself to throw away perfectly good food.

also, i will likely end up in a wheelchair (my body strength is severely inhibited due to this medication, and as it is, i dont know how i will push myself if i end up in a chair...) so i can eat while we are moving if nec. i DONT want to end up in a chair again...people are so judgemental, and rude, when you are sick, but thats another story....

Lots of leftover don't really need to be in the fridge right away. So I put a gallon size zip lock in my backpack! Flatbreads make really great snacks--who doesn't love cold pizza for breakfast!
