[New package at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique] BBB Sofia - PassPorter - A Community of Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disney Cruise Line, and General Travel Forums
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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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!

[New package at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique] BBB Sofia
Wow BBB have introduced a Sofia package, we have a booking for my 3 year old for November , I did have the crown package but thinking of changing to the Sofia package now. Only thing is, my 3 year old has been telling me that she wants to be Jasmine and we have lunch booked in the Castle after BBB where I believe she will meet Jasmine – what to do????

When you book the appointment you don't have to tell them what package it is you want. You can choose when you show up, so your DD can choose then. Unless you plan to bring dress up stuff for her, then you would have to decide.
I would definitely give her the option that day. We ate at CRT on 2 different occasions we saw Cindy, Ariel, Belle,snow white, & aurora 1st time and 2nd time was Cindy,Rapunzel, jazmin, Ariel & Snow White. They do rotate the princesses out so no guarantees but pixies for jazmin being at your meal
PassPorter's Free-Book to Walt Disney World It’s hard to believe anything is free at Walt Disney World; but there are actually a number of things you can get or do for little to no cost. This e-book documents over 200 free or cheap tips to do before you go and after you arrive. You could save a considerable amount of money following these tips. Perhaps more importantly; you can discover overlooked attractions and little-known details most people whiz by on their way to spend money. Click here to see free sample pages from the e-book! Get this popular e-book free of extra charges when you join the PassPorter's Club for as little as $4.95. A club pass includes access to all our other e-books; e-worksheets; super-size photos; and more! This e-book is also available for separate purchase in the PassPorter Online Store for just $5.95.
Oooooh hope we see Rapunzel as well she is her 2nd favourite.
Really hope the Sofia package is available in magic kingdom when we go as I think that is what she will go with.

We were surprised and thrilled to see her come out b/c we had yet to get a photo op with her. Then Jazmin came out to and same thing, we definitely got to check seeing them off our must meet list
Something to keep in mind is that Sophia is supposed to start doing M&Gs at DHS sometime late summer/fall. So if she goes with that, you could always head to DHS after your CRT meal and get pictures with her there
well boo, I hope they get the Sophia makeover going at MK by December! my girls have their hearts set on it! DD isn't the same.....then again, we could do it same day as MVMCP, but I want them to nap in the afternoon and their make-up would probably get wrecked...any word on prices??
should also note that I did hear of one person who was not allowed to change packages once they arrived and only wanted the basic package instead of the $189 package. wasn't it someone on here?

My DD got the big hair piece at BBB and she not only napped in it but it lasted for days. I heard the same as for the bun hairstyle as well but I had some Bobbie pins and just put her hair in a pony and pinned the piece right back in if she wanted to wear it and believe me it's that easy if I can do it anyone can lol. We did MK BBB last year and we picked the package when were there and could add accessories at that time too like $10 crown. I booked it again for October for DD at DTD and I just had to reserve the reservation with a credit card but didn't have to select a package.
I am sooo excited to learn that they added Sophia!!! We booked our three year old for the DTD location and she will probably flip her lid for Sophia!! Not sure if I should even tell her or not because she keeps saying she wants to be Ariel. Not sure how much choice she can handle!!!!
