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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Okay - so I am a Disney scrapbook addict............and I just went to AC Moore to pick something else up and couldn't help but notice that Cuttlebug has a Disney line now - I have the sissix machine and have been told that you could use cuttlebug in it - has anyone done this??? Does it still work as well as sissix?

OOO, I want to know the answer to this one too. I've got Sizzix and a Sidekick and would love to use those Disney dies in it without buying a new machine.
We ahve the Cuttlebug and you can use Sizzlets, and Quickuts in it as for the Sizzix we only tried the Alphabars and it cracked the plastic "cutting" pads. I would think the origanles would be fine since the are wider then the bars. I hope this helps.
I have the Cuttlebug and the Sizzix Sidekick (though will probably soon be getting rid of it). The Cuttlebug dies work with the Sidekick though it might require putting a shim in the sandwich (as thin as a piece of cardstock or as thick as in a piece of chipboard). The dies will also work in the original "Big Red" machine but you will need the converter that makes the machine compatible with the Sizzlit dies. You may also need a shim if you are not getting a good clean cut.
Just as a note, I think the Cuttlebug dies are better constructed than the thin Sizzlit dies from Sizzix. For some reason, the cuts just seem so much cleaner than with my Sizzlits (though I have not yet tried my Sizzlits in my Cuttlebug). I have also read that the Cuttlebug dies can cut though more than just paper and cardstock (ie. stiff felt, thin chipboard and fun foam). I haven't had a lot of time to play yet but I do have some fun foam I want to try.
I have the Sizzix Big Shot and Side Kick. I use Cuttlebug dies in the Side Kick with no problem. The larger Cuttlebug dies work in the Big Shot with a Sizzix/Ellison Multipurpose Platform. I haven't bought any Cuttlebug embossing folders so I don't know how those would work.

The way some people find fault, you'd think there was a reward.
We ahve the Cuttlebug and you can use Sizzlets, and Quickuts in it as for the Sizzix we only tried the Alphabars and it cracked the plastic "cutting" pads. .
When did you buy your Cuttlebug, Marcie? Apparently the first Cuttlebugs produced included defective B plates and Provo Craft should replace them for you. I think that the Alphabars are supposed to compatible with the Cuttlebug.
Tiff we gopt ours when the first came out. Cords gave us money off since the box we ripped. We can still use the plate. It's not in half or anything. I will have Sue look into the B Plate. Any Sizzix is soupse to work we really haven't tried since the bar. I think the bars would work better if we have used 2 together insted of just 1.
I prefer to use the Cuttlebug then the sidekick since I can do up to 4 Sizzlets, 4 small Cuttlebugs,4 Quickuts or 2 long Cuttlebugs at one time. I hate doing 1 at a time.
I must not invest in another cutting system! But I have to have those Cuttlebug Disney dies.
I have the original big red sizzix, and I do have the converter for the Sizzlits. I was going to sell it and all my Sizzix dies and get a Quickutz Revolution to compliment my QuicKutz and Cricut. Now I'm rethinking that. I am absolutely not buying a Cuttlebug - DH would strangle me
So -- has anyone tried the Cuttlebug dies with the Revolution? Or should I just plan to keep Big Red and use it?
So -- has anyone tried the Cuttlebug dies with the Revolution? Or should I just plan to keep Big Red and use it?
At the scrapbook store we got the Cuttlebug in they tried the Cuttlebug die cuts and couldn't find the right presser to make themk work. So we decided on the Cuttlebug.
So where can you find the Disney Cuttlebug die cuts? We haven't seen them here in Indiana.
