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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

I know they definitely have these at the Magic Kingdom, but is there somewhere in Disney Studios you can buy these? We're planning on going there our first afternoon in the parks, and I want to make sure I humiliate my new husband as soon as possible

I have seen these located in an outdoor market at DHS. To get to this location, go up Hollywood Blvd (DHS' Main Street) and take a right onto Sunset Blvd (like you're going to the TOT or RNR.
Past the store "Villains in Vogue" and the DVC stand, you'll come to a small outdoor marketplace that has fruit, bottled water, and souvenirs. They always have several hat racks and I have definitely seen the bride and groom ears there before.
Also, a few of the stores on Hollywood Blvd have hat sections in the rear of their stores. You might check there first (since it's on your way to Sunset).

Thanks!

if you go onto the disney registry you can order the mickey ears in advance so you can have them for your reception and as soon as you get off the plane! my fiance was totally against the idea of the ears but I think he's come around because of how excited I am about the ears!
i have a question, i know you can put them on the registry, but i thought the registry was just like a big gift card? how can you get them so they are at your hotel? is this possible?
I had regular mouse ears (embroidered with our names) delivered to our hotel room by the Disney Florist back in December. They were very easy to work with and the delivery charge was very low. They charged us $5 or so to wrap them up in celophane with a bow, but other than that I don't think they marked up the cost of the ears any more than if we'd gotten them in the park. Might be worth a shot to call them and find out if they'll deliver bride and groom ears.
I just took a look at the website and they have a special engagement package that has the bride and groom ears--so that means the Disney Florist does stock the bride/groom ears. You don't need to get the pre-set packages they have on their website but you can check them out to see the kinds of things they stock.
You can get just the ears.....my floral co-ordinator for my Disney Wedding actually shipped them to me here at home so I wouldn't have to run around when I got there trying to find them! She said they have plenty and I can tell any of the Disneybrides (another forum) to call them if they want to order them....
Let me know if you have any other questions-

I called a couple weeks ago to Disney's Mail Order and they said they have plenty in stock. If you need the number, please let me know. I'll give you the one I called directly and got someone to answer the phone within seconds. They were still around $14 when I called and asked how much the Minnie Bridal Ears was on the Headband.
I'm still going to order DH a pair for our 3 years late Disneymoon/Disney Anniversary incase he has a change of heart to wear them, if not it will still be a fun memory. Good luck getting them
I got the bride ears for our 25th anniversary, dh couldnt find a hat that fit - it was really small! So he didnt get them, and of course, everyone asked where was his ears, and we'd have a discussion on how small that hat is - dh would ask those that were wearing groom's hat if they fit, and most said, nope, it just kinda floats on the head!!
