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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

What kind of pets do we have?
Anyone out there have pets? What kind? What are their names?
We have a 10 month old Black Lab who has a very non-Disney name - Chloe. And I thought kids were hard work! LOL!

Re: What kind of pets do we have?
2 Black Short-haired cats. Named after some of our favorite film characters.
Cosmos after the character from PCU, the stoned hippie.
Morpheus after the character from The Matrix. (When we first brought him home, he hid behind the couch for 3 days and was very hard to find...LOL)

Re: What kind of pets do we have?
I breed, train, and show Smooth Fox Terriers. I currently have six -- Imp (12); Flash (9); Spark (7); Rascal (5); Clown (5); and Quiz (10 months.) They are a handful, but I wouldn't be without them!

Re: What kind of pets do we have?
We have two cats and one dog. Our dog is a Samoyed, and his name is Glacier. (He's pure white, well, only when clean)
Our cats are Sylvester (bet you couldn't guess what color he is!) and Chief. Chief we thought was a male, but she turned out to be a female, so now she's known as Chiefers.
We also have a cow and some chickens, but we won't go there!

Re: What kind of pets do we have?
We have indoor and outdoor pets. The outdoor pets (kitties) really belong to my FIL who lives next door but they always seem to stay here with us. That's fine with me, I really enjoy them.
We have: Sheba - Keeshond - 9 yrs
Toby - Pomeranian - 7 yrs
Smokie - long haired black cat - 14 yrs
They are the most spoiled and well-loved pets around here. Everyone always tells me that they want to come back in life as one of my pets cause they know they will have the best life! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
The outdoor kitties include:
Smudge - black and white w/ a black mark on her chin - 2 yrs And recent Momma!
Tigger - Orange tabby - 1 yr
And Smudgie's babies are (they are 3mos old):
Rebel - brown and black tabby- He has the most beautiful markings on him.
Dopey - White and tiger striped but mostly white and 2 dots on his shoulder blades and one blue eye and one brown eye.
Toodie or Toodles(she comes to both) She looks exactly like Dopey except for her dots. One is in the middle of her back the other is slighly on her left side.
Tipper - Black and white with the tiniest white tip on his tail.
Domino - Black and white and she was the runt but she holds her own now. She is very feisty and doesn't take anything from the others anymore! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
Blue - Black and white and had blue eyes. He was the only one of the black and whites to have the blue eyes but now they're grey. I call him Little Boy Blue.
They are all very sweet and I love watching and playing with them! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] They too are all very spoiled.
