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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

We're planning a road trip this summer, and DS wants to see a MLB game. Based on our schedule and the team schedules, this is our possibilities:
Toronto
Yankees
Mets
Nationals
Philly is away, and Pittburgh is sold out.
How are the cheap seats at these stadiums? Any advice on which to choose? Pros or cons? NYC is more out of the way of our route, but we haven't ruled it out. Any advice on choosing seats, or getting tickets? Thanks!!
Sorry to hear the Phillies are out-of-town when you are visiting. Citizen's Bank Park is a neat place to watch a game.
I think cheap seats run in the $15-$25 range at most parks. $15 is the rate for the worst seat at CBP, and $22 is the price for an upper-deck seat in the infield.
Yankee Stadium will be closing this year, so you may want to try going there.
The Nationals will be playing in a brand new stadium, so demand for tickets there may be high.
If I was picking among the four choices you listed, I'd opt for Yankee Stadium.
The Jays should be at home while you're visiting (and they're playing the Braves on the weekend!!). I just checked the website http://tickets.audienceview.com and tickets range from $9 - $57. There's a seating chart you can check out too. I think the tickets I would get would likely be the $41 tickets. However, they have decent seats for $21, and you can sit in the Nosebleeds for $9.

pittsburgh is sold out? you must be traveling in june while the yankees are in town. that's too bad because PNC park is amazing. of the four, i'd see the yankees at yankee stadium. i'm not a fan, but they're tearing the stadium down, and i'd go to see it.
Who is Pittsburgh playing that they are sold out already? We've gone to a few games there and have never had them be sold out! Even if you have to get seats that aren't the "cheap seats" - their prices are not too bad (comparitively!)
Although I am an absolute non Yankees fan, I think I would have to go to Yankee Stadium if I had the chance! Such a cool atmosphere for a game and truly dedicated fans!

Look what a little Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo can do!
Both the Yankees and the Mets are playing there final seasons at their respective stadiums, so there is definitely history there.
Of course I believe that Ticket Prices for both are reflecting that fact as well. I'm a huge Mets fan myself, and parking is a notable problem the last couple of years as they build the new Stadium basically in the old parking lot.
I can't speak to Yankee Stadium (I've only been once) but at Shea the cheap seats are pretty high up, but I have watched games from them and think they are fine.
Also, I don't know about the Yankee's but at Shea the games are rated, and ticket prices vary based on the team they are playing. Some games are more expensive then others.
I would go to a yankees game it is a great ball park. we are going to opening day at then stadium next monday we are huge yankees fan's it will be sad to see the stadium gone after this year.
