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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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 love cheese!! Provolone, Mozzarella, Goat and Feta are my favorites. Most I eat cheese on salads, especially goat and feta. Provolone is my favorite for sandwiches.
I'm lactose intolerant, so I'm wary of cheese. I'll eat it on pizza and Italian food in moderation (1 slice max for pizza). Never cheese on my sandwich or in my salad.
Love love LOVE cheese, unfortunately There aren't many that I don't like - feta, bleu, mozzarella, pepper jack, Brie...Mmmmm. I'll put it on salads, sandwiches, burgers, crackers...
Love cheese! Favorite, if method counts also is goat cheese - warmed and spiced, served with crackers.
If you're just talking eat cheese, then I love very sharp cheddar. DH found me some 9 year old cheddar a while back and it's YUMMY!!
I think I'll eat cheese on about anything:
Salads - cheddar, goat, gorganzola
Sandwiches - cheddar, swiss, colby
crackers - cheddar, colby, gouda, boursin, brie, stilton, I could go on and on....
Really, I've never found a cheese I didn't like
BTW - I was hungry when I answered this. Forgive the running monologue, please.
We always have cheese in our house. I always buy Amish cheese from the deli counter. I usually buy colbyjack, but also colby and swiss. I think I like swiss the best. Very seldom put it on sandwiches or salads though. I like to eat it with triscuit crackers.
I love cheese - all types, it really depends what mood I'm in. The most usual brands you can find in our fridge are Cheddar, Brie, mozzarella, Jarlsberg and smoked Austrian, although I love blue cheese too. It won't surprise you to know I have cheese on my sandwiches for lunch every day and often on baked potatoes too.
I am not a huge cheese fan, but I do love a good sharp cheddar. I also love a good Parmesan. However, I am not a fan of soft cheese nor cheese sauces/dressings at all. I think American "cheese" might be one of the most disgusting foods on the planet.

I love cheese. I don't think I have tried a cheese that I don't like. I put cheese on just about anything it goes well with; salad, sandwich, pasta, most casseroles, crackers, chips (nachos)....the list goes on and on.
EVERYTHING IS BETTER WITH CHEESE!!! Sharp cheddar is what I eat the most, but I love most cheeses. I put it on sandwiches, salads and nearly everything!

I'm a sharp cheddar type of person. Occasionally, I like extra sharp cheddar but can only really handle it in little bits at a time. It is way too rich sometimes!
I also like mozzarella and Parmesan. I like cheese on salads, pizza, sandwiches, sliced, cubed, shredded . . . just as long as it isn't "stinky" cheese. I am not a fan of any of those! DH loves blue cheese and it makes me gag!
I love cheese!! My new favorite snack cheese is Saegento Sharp Cheddar Jack. Yummy!!! Especially with Triscuits!!! I love feta on salads, and of course mozzarella and provolone on pizza. I can't think of many mainstream cheeses that I don't like.
