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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

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 was debating on doing a PTR/TR for our upcoming trip in November. I went to the "test page" to try to upload a pic, (so I would know how to do it for the PTR/TR) and I my computer won't allow me to add an attachment. That's the best part of a TR! I will keep trying and maybe I will be able to figure it out. But if I don't - I won't be doing a TR because I think that would be too boring. I enjoy reading AND enjoy pictures (it gives me my Disney fix) and I would want to be able to share with others.
What do you mean your computer won't allow you to add an attachment? Are you trying to put photos into your computer from a camera or are they already in your computer and you can't put them in here (or on a photo sharing website)? I know for here, the photos have to be a specific size or smaller or you can't upolad them. So if it's from your hard drive to here, try technical support - they're great with helping. If you can't put them into your computer, I'm not sure what you can do about that. Good luck though. I hope you figure it out and ultimately do a PTR/TR for your vacation.
Well, I was playing in "The Driveway" and I can get the pics from my computer onto the site. They are only thumbnails though. I am confused on how to re-size them. Any suggestions?
Usually what I do is I put them in the driveway like you did as thumbnails and once they are there I have 2 passporter screens open at the same time. One with my thread that has the thumbnails and then the other has the thread where I want to put the photos. In the thumbnail screen, I click on the thumbnail to open a larger view and when that opens, I copy the address from the address bar. I then go to the other post and click on the add image button on the top of the post box. I delete from that whatever is pretyped in and then I paste my original address from the other page. and then click submit. In the post box, it will probably only show the address so click on the go advanced button and you should see your picture.
This is the way I do it and hope it hasn't been too confusing. It might take a little bit to get used to doing it that way but once you do, you'll get the hang of it and know what you're doing. I also have to do it pretty much the same way from photobucket too. The biggest piece of advice I can give (other than what I already told you) is once you have the full picture in your thumbnail screen, hit the back button, not close as it will close out the whole screen (the photos open in the same window, not a new one.). Hopefully this helps. If not, maybe someone in the technical forum could give you better advice. Good luck

You're welcome. Hopefully what I typed wasn't too confusing for you. And as for timeline, whatever you're comfortable with. There's no right or wrong way to do the reports.
I think you should be able to get Darlene's method to work. I use photobucket. I upload my pictures there and then they provide a link that I simply add into my TR. Let us know if you still need help!
I also use Photobucket. It lets you resize the photos to the required size and gives you the URL.
Good luck! Personally I'd read the report anyway. I did a live TR one year when I was in Disney (updating nightly on my phone) and it had no pictures but was still good.

Thanks Cam. I'm still playing with it. I got one picture to post on the driveway. But now it won't even let me browse my computer files. I'm still trying.
I hope that you do decide to go on and post a TR. I personally like to read the TR's even when there are NO pictures. To me it is NOT bring to read about others adventures at WDW. Good luck gettng your pics posted when you retur.
