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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Re: Diet Pixies Check-In, Wed.5/22
G'morning all ...
Well, even though the scale went the wrong way on Monday, I still felt thinner somehow ... and now I know it's not just my imagination. This morning, I put on my tightest pair of jeans, fresh out of the dryer, and had no trouble zipping them up. Didn't even have to suck it in. These are jeans that didn't even fit me in January.
That's absolute proof, in my book. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
Gonna go have some more water and find something good for breakfast.

Re: Diet Pixies Check-In, Wed.5/22
Good morning everyone! I worked out this morning. . .only 20 minutes, but, it's better than nothing! I feel much better for at least getting moving! I weighed in today at WW. . .up a pound. I'm honestly not surprised I'm up 3 1/2 pounds since our WDW trip. I'm counting more than I was. Now, I just need to keep focused. Water, water, water!!!

Re: Diet Pixies Check-In, Wed.5/22
Hey there lovely people!! [img]graemlins/wavin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/wavin.gif[/img]
I am doing great or should I say I feel great today. I am getting over some kinda virus that took my voice to "neverland". My 10 yr old DD asked me if Ursula took my voice. (cuz I sing quite a bit and you know Ariel and the story) Cute, that she said that-we are Disney nuts, I tell ya! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Anyway, even though I had that virus I still have walked on the treadmill everyday. I am patting myself on the back as I type. [img]graemlins/puter.gif[/img] I just walked for 40 minutes and did my situps. All I had was toast this morning, so I need a lil' protein here-hey, I'll have tuna, I love tuna!
Keep going and have a successful day toward your goal!! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Diet Pixies Check-In, Wed.5/22
Way to go, Sandy, isn't that the best feeling?! You go, girl! Hang in there, Mis, you are one the right track! Only 3 1/2 lbs from your WDW trip? That's not bad, IMO. I don't know how I'm going to do it at WDW, but I hope if I gain, it's only 3 1/2 lbs like you! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
Mmmm, tuna sandwiches...Heart Beat has a fat free mayo I've been using, I'll have to whip up some tuna sandwiches for lunch...sounds yummy! Keep on keepin' on!
Smiling from ear to ear this morning! I missed my meeting yesterday, so I weighed in this morning...down 3.2 last week!!
I finally got my first star, too! I'm down 20.4 lbs total for the last 8 weeks.
Best part is that the Wed leader is a blast! I may have to switch to Wednesdays!
Now, to get back on with my weight training and walking regimen.
Having some caffeine free raspberry tea, it's a little chilly here today. Then I'll hit the water again!
Awesome to hear everybody's progress!

Re: Diet Pixies Check-In, Wed.5/22
Great job everyone! I haven't weighed in a couple of days. My sleep schedule has been messed up, so I have stayed away from the scale. Tomorrow I anticipate a full 8 hours of sleep; will get tough and get on the scale. I'm increasing the water, just had some grapes for a snack. Isn't if funny how good healthy food really does taste? I don't know why it is so easy to get side-tracked away from it.
Time to go refill the water bottle. I skipped my exercise classes today (to sleep), so will have to exercise on my break at work tonight. Slow but sure, this is gonna happen!
