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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Least favorite day of work?
Is there a particular day that you dread at work or is your least favorite?
Today, is mine.. I work at my sons elementary school cafeteria & today is Pizza Hut Day where the kids can buy Pizza Hut pizza slices ( as many as they want & can afford) 95% of the students buy this day, making the line out the door & then we have to deal with the first graders asking "Is there ice cream & snacks today?" Even before the meal line is finished. ( snacks come second)
BUT.. the worst part of today is the upset tummies due to wolfing down the greasy pizza.. We send at least 3 kids per lunch to the nurse with belly aches ( some don't even make it to the nurse before being sick!  )
UGH.. It's almost time for work.. guess I should get prepared  |

Re: Least favorite day of work?
I would also have to go with Thursday. I'm jealous of the people that work 4x a week. While I have come in on Fridays.

Re: Least favorite day of work?
Any day that I have to go to a Council meeting in the evening - it makes for a very long day. |

Re: Least favorite day of work?
When I worked outside of the home, I hated the Saturday morning shift. The flyer specials started Saturday at 8 a.m. and people would line up at the door waiting for us to open and then make a mad dash for the sales items. And of course, the sales often weren't entered into the computer properly so some items wouldn't scan at sale prices and we'd get yelled at.  One cranky little old lady used to come in every Saturday morning and yell at me because we didn't have her particular brand of toilet paper in stock. Every Saturday morning. I wonder if we ever carried her brand?  Any questions why I quit working in retail?  |

Re: Least favorite day of work?
It would have to be Tuesdays, that's the day price changes drop- I'm in retail- before I became a department manager I had to work Saturdays which I din't like.

Re: Least favorite day of work?
Thursdays definitely. I teach a 2 year old class and while I love kids, 12 2year old can give you a stress headache. I wouldn't trade my job for anything though  |

Monday. I start my work week on Sunday, but it's a quick 5 hour shift. Monday starts 4 days of 8 hour shifts |

Re: Least favorite day of work?
It varies, but usually when all 3 attys are in the office at once. I don't get much done between my new "in-training" paralegal (wondering when she's going to FINALLY get it)and the attys - "could you come here a minute", "did I tell you the story about. . . . . ", "could you help me out", "did you talk to the Judge about . . . . ",etc.
I love these guys (in a friendly way of course), but NOT ALL AT ONCE  |
