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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Baby\'s First Hair Cut at the Magic Kingdom
Have any of you taken your toddlers to get their first hair cut at the Magic Kingdom? I was wondering what the experience is like, as I am thinking of having this done for my sons.

Re: Baby\'s First Hair Cut at the Magic Kingdom
I have never done this, but I know that they will give your toddler a Mickey ears hat with the words "First haircut" embroidered on the back. Very cute. Also, they will set up a giant scissors, comb for you to take the picture of him sitting in the chair. It's really cute.

Re: Baby\'s First Hair Cut at the Magic Kingdom
We did this for DD in Oct. It was darling! Unfortunately, when it was time for a trim again, she wanted to go back to the MK to get it done! This was one of my favorite things we've ever done!

Re: Baby\'s First Hair Cut at the Magic Kingdom
Here is Danny at 16 mos. getting his first haircut from Michael.
He really enjoyed it and we got a certificate, mouse ears that say "first haircut" and Michael even saved Danny's hair for us!!!!
The haircut was good too.
Here is the result.

Re: Baby\'s First Hair Cut at the Magic Kingdom
Do they do anything special for a regular toddler haircut? I desparately wanted to hold out for Disney for her first haircut, she hardly has any hair, but finally had to give in and have her bangs trimmed. But it still sounds like a fun thing to do!

Re: Baby\'s First Hair Cut at the Magic Kingdom
Our 7 year old son had a haircut there our last trip. It was a lot of fun. He got a good cut, and then a sprinkling of pixie dust. My DD got the pixie dust, too, even thought she didn't get a cut. A couple of kids in front of us got a colored gel stuff put in their hair. I think one was blue and the other bright pink. I thought that looked like fun, but both DH and DS vetoed the color. It was a great time. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Baby\'s First Hair Cut at the Magic Kingdom
What a neat experience for your DS & DD! I wonder how hard the gel is to wash out of hair? I know that sometimes kids buy the colored hair spray, and that can sometimes stay in for a few days. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Baby\'s First Hair Cut at the Magic Kingdom
I've been planning the FIRST HAIRCUT at Disney since I found out I was pregnant! Our little pixie is our 2001 Disney souvenir and what better place for this than Disney?! We will be visiting in October and I can't wait! Thanks for posting this since I was questioning it too! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Baby\'s First Hair Cut at the Magic Kingdom
The gel washes out in just one washing! Even though we have no little ones in our family, my adult boyfriend and I have both spent time in the barbershop chair on Main Street. It's fun watching the little ones get their first haircut. The barbers are so wonderful, they make what can be a scary experience fun! The kids get stickers, and toys to hold (my boyfriend loved the Mr. Potato Head spinning light thingy), and lots of pixie dust. Take lots of pictures and enjoy!
