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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Sleep Walking/Talking

All of my kids have done this in one form or another - with some pretty hilarious results, I might add.

Do any of your children (or yourself) walk or talk in their sleep?

Nate used to walk and talk in his sleep.
The walking in his sleep was a bit scary - one time I found him heading to the basement stairs!

My kids mumble in their sleep, it is hard to understand. My husband used to talk in his sleep a lot.
As far as sleepwalking, my cousin used to do that. One time she got up during the night, put her girl scout uniform on backwards and walked out the front door of her house! If she hadn't shouted "Bye, Mom!" which woke her mother, who knows where she might have ended up.

My DD6 talks in her sleep. I myself, am a sleepwalker. Granted, it's been a while. When I was in high school, I did get up in the middle of the night and make myself a bowl of cereal. Didn't eat it though. I also used to chase the dog around the house.

I used to sleep walk when I was little. My DM told me that once I ended up
outside her bedroom window and she woke up when she heard me talking
outside. After that, she put higher locks on all the doors.

As far as I know none of us sleepwalk and only Luke talks in his sleep, but it's in some foreign tongue so noone can understand him.

DJ tells jokes in his sleep (the ones that are un-funny ) and laughs out loud. The real problem is that he shouts the jokes. That'll wake ya out of a dead sleep.

DH and DD talk to each other in their sleep. The kids rooms are right across the hall from ours. DD will say something and DH will answer her or ask her a question. Scares the bijeebers out of me. You'd swear they are just talking to one another but the next morning neither one can remember. It makes sense though as they are two peas in a pod.

Yep, DS11 used to walk in his sleep, he'd be walking around the living room saying ouch, ouch, and just walking in circles. Once you redirected him to the bathroom and pulled his pants down, he would pee and then go back to bed. He never ever remembered any of those times. He went right back to sleep. He stopped doing that at about 8 years old. They grow up so fast.

So strange that you ask b/c last night was the first time I caught DS sleep-crawling. He was really unsettled all night (I think he's teething) and I looked over at him, he got on his hands and knees, looked at me and smiled, and then his face dove into the mattress.

My DD sleepwalked when she was younger. I once found her downstairs in the kitchen trying to open the refrigerator.

I had a college roommate that actually carried on a conversation with me one night.....after the third reply, which was an odd one, I realized she was actually sleeping.

Ryan talks in his sleep once in a while. It's usually very clear but completely nonsensical - "The Whale said what?"
