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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Cruise Chat Transcript - 03/03/2004
We just had a great chat about all things DCL! I'll post it here. Join PixieDust for our next Cruise Chat on March 18 at 9pm Eastern!

[FanOfMickey] yeah, probably won't come out with ap rates, I think the disney visa customers are the only ones to get discounts grrrrr
[FanOfMickey] hi sunray
[Sunrayherosgirl] hey fan
[tinknme] hi sunray, hi belle
[Belle*] I'm back! Hi Sunrayherosgirl!
[FanOfMickey] I think so, well depending on if you plan on going back within a year
[DisneyM5] *** Welcome to the PassPorter Chat! ***
[FanOfMickey] what kind of package are you doing?
[Belle*] Welcome to tonight's scheduled chat guys! The topic tonight is DCL!
[FanOfMickey] wb belle
[DisneyM5] Hi guys
[FanOfMickey] hi disneym5
[tinknme] september
[Belle*] Welcome Aboard Matt/M5!
[FanOfMickey] lol I am going back in September too
[FanOfMickey] then ap's are good
[tinknme] i've never done a DCL
[penguin52] *** Welcome to the PassPorter Chat! ***
[FanOfMickey] belle, any word on the Magic going out west next summer? anything come out about that rumer yet?
[FanOfMickey] hi penguin
[Belle*] Welcome to Cruise Chat penguin52!
[tinknme] other cruises but not DC
[FanOfMickey] neither have I tink
[penguin52] right back at ya
[tinknme] hi penguin
[FanOfMickey] I have never done any cruise
[Belle*] No official word yet! I was hoping for something during yesterday's meeting.
[Sunrayherosgirl] do you guys know when hurrican season is down there?
[penguin52] *** Goodbye, thank you for visiting! ***
[Sunrayherosgirl] im going cruising hopefully thanksgiving week, should i worry
[Sunrayherosgirl] 7 day carr cruise
[tinknme] generally May through November
[FanOfMickey] I was thinking if it does go out west, I want to do Disneyland for a few days then the cruise
[Belle*] Hurricane Season is lat eMay through November
[DisneyM5] That would be great
[tinknme] i'd like to do eastern in april
[Belle*] Thanksgiving week should be fine. That's really late in the season.
[tinknme] has anyone else done DC
[FanOfMickey] supposable if the magic geos out west it will go to the carribean via the panama canal, I think that would be neat
[Belle*] FanOfMickey - I think that's exactly what they're hoping people will do! Sounds fun!
[tinknme] they have never done the Pan.Canal before have they
[FanOfMickey] I always want to do a cruise, but wdw would always win out, don't need all that many days to do DL, so I think it is perfect, DL and Cruise
[Belle*] No they haven't. If they do move one of the ships West they would do a repositioning cruise through the Canal.
[tinknme] When will they make a decision on that
[DisneyM5] *** Goodbye, thank you for visiting! ***
[DisneyM5] *** Welcome to the PassPorter Chat! ***
[FanOfMickey] wonder if it does well if they will move the ship out there permanently, or get another boat to stay there permanently
[FanOfMickey] wb disneym5
[Belle*] No idea! I've heard it may be soon.
[tinknme] hi wb disney
[FanOfMickey] no idea when tink, though someone said they have no schedule listed for the Magic between may and October
[DisneyM5] HI
[Belle*] There are rumors that Disney has contracted or is in negotiations for a new ship.
[DisneyM5] I heard that
[FanOfMickey] I read that too belle
[tinknme] because i might change to western cruise then
[FanOfMickey] yeah, thats the thinking
[tinknme] that would be awesome
[Belle*] tinknme - You mean the Western Caribbean Itinerary or a West Coast cruise?
[FanOfMickey] it will be coming back east in Nov though if it does go out west
[FanOfMickey] supposed to go out west for DL's anniversary
[FanOfMickey] sorry Tink, I am meaning going out west as in Cali
[tinknme] sorry - you know us country girls - we confuse easily
[Belle*] I saw a blurb in the Orlando Sentinel back in August that said DCL has asked for bids for a new ship. But I haven't seen anything since!
[tinknme] but west coast would be great too
[tinknme] are the rooms (cabins?) fairly roomy
[Belle*] Matt/DisneyM5 - what category did you stay in during MouseFest?
[DisneyM5] Cat 11
[Belle*] tinknme - I think the cabins are plenty roomy. In fact, most are 25% larger than the industry standard.
[DisneyM5] I'm doing a cat 6 in october
[Belle*] What did you think of the inside stateroom?
[DisneyM5] It was great for one, but I can't see more then 2 having enough space
[Belle*] I'm jealous! Are you going on 2 cruises this year?
[FanOfMickey] problem is, I would want a porthole in my cabin, but the are kinda pricey lol
[tinknme] we did a Bermuda cruise for our honeymoon - cabins were small and you could hear everyone else's conversations, and every thing else very clearlly
[DisneyM5] Yes, Oct then Mousefest
[Belle*] FanOfMickey - We LOVED our Cat 9 stateroom on our 9/01 cruise.
[FanOfMickey] did it have a porthole?
[Belle*] tinknme, I am VERY sensitive to noise and we could hear nothing from our neighbors.
[FanOfMickey] I read the cat's but can't remember which had the portholes lol
[tinknme] i want a veranda. hubby smokes and you can't smoke in cabins
[Sunrayherosgirl] does anybody know how much a ride from the airport to the cruise line cost or disney world to cruise line
[Belle*] Cat 9 does have alrge porthole.
[Sunrayherosgirl] dont feel like driving this year
[FanOfMickey] would love a veranda too lol
[Belle*] Oops! Large porthole!
[Sunrayherosgirl] pa -fl was long enough last year
[FanOfMickey] guess seeing as though I will probably be going solo, I would love to be able to sit and watch out the porthole or sit on a veranda
[DisneyM5] I think it around 120 round trip for two on the DCL bus
[Belle*] Sunrayherosgirl, the cost of the DCL bus is $49/guest roundtrip from WDW or MCO to the Port.
[Belle*] Another option is a towncar company. We use www.happylimo.com
[FanOfMickey] brb afk gonna go get something to drink
Sunrayherosgirl] does it take long to get to?
[tinknme] how formal do you have to dress. my guy is a laid back dresser
[Belle*] From MCO the port is about 45 minutes. From WDW, it's a little over an hour.
[Belle*] Only one restaurant specifically requests a jacket and that is Palo, the adults-only restaurant.
[Sunrayherosgirl] i guess im still in disney mode where u can just fly everywhere and get ther in like 30 seconds, i forget that they are so far
[FanOfMickey] k back
[Belle*] On a 7 night cruise there are Formal and Semi-formal nights but you do not have to participate. You can always get Room Service or Fast Food those nights.
[Belle*] WB Fan!
[Sunrayherosgirl] has anybody ever swimmed w/ the dolphins?
[FanOfMickey] I want to check out that artist pointe
[Sunrayherosgirl] i really want to do that and parasailing
[tinknme] but i did hear that they don't want you to wear shorts in other restaurants either. true?
[Belle*] Animators Palette?
[FanOfMickey] thanks Belle!
[Sunrayherosgirl] the 2 person sub looks good but at 350/person, dont know
[FanOfMickey] lol yeah, thats it belle, sorry
[Belle*] tinknme - that is true. They request no shorts in the main dining rooms.
[tinknme] could probably convince him to wear khaki's
[Belle*] But you will not be turned away if you MUST wear shorts. Personally, I really like the dressing up part of cruising!
[Belle*] Khakis and a collared shirt are plenty dressy enough.
[tinknme] i could probably get him to do one night of that
[tinknme] what about the semi formal night
[Belle*] Again, you don't HAVE to dress up. But if youo want to avoid eating in the restaurant where people may be dressed up, there are plenty of other options.
[FanOfMickey] wow, I really want to go on a cruise now lol
[DisneyM5] I'm worried about the formal night
[Belle*] What' s your worry DisneyM5?
[DisneyM5] I have a suite, but I hear a lot of people wear a tux
[DisneyM5] I don't want to be under dressed
[Jennifer2003] *** Welcome to the PassPorter Chat! ***
[Belle*] I don't know about a "lot" of people but it's pretty common. A suit is really fine though!
[Jennifer2003] hello!
[FanOfMickey] hi Jennifer
[tinknme] hi jen
[DisneyM5] HI Jennifer
[Belle*] Welcome Jennifer2003! Pull up a deck chair!
[Jennifer2003] sounds good! i have a few minutes!
[Belle*] I think the women dress up a lot more than the men Matt.
[DisneyM5] That works for me
[Belle*] Besides, I've seen you. I know you clean up nice!
[Jennifer2003] someone going on an interview?
[DisneyM5] Thank's for your vote
[DisneyM5] No, On a cruise
[Belle*] We're discussing the formal nights on the DCL Jennifer. Have you cruised or are you planning one?
[Jennifer2003] i personally can't get myself to go on a cruise. too isolated for me. it's a claustrophobia thing. but i did see the cruise video and it looks wonderful
[tinknme] cruise video??
[FanOfMickey] I love the ocean, so I really want to go on a cruise, would love to sit in a deck chair with a good book and relax
[Jennifer2003] i got it from Disney...a trip planning video
[Belle*] tinknme - you can order a DCL Planning Video or DVD from www.disneycruise.com!
[tinknme] on tomorrow's list of things to do
[DisneyM5] I just ordered the DVD to see if anything has changed
[DisneyM5] And to help get me in the mood
[Belle*] What itinerary are you going on in October?
[tinknme] i can hardly wait. i have worn our my wdw dvd i've watched it so many times
[DisneyM5] 7 day west
[tinknme] has anyone done the 7 day east?
[Belle*] And you're writing a full, detailed trip report, right?
DisneyM5] That was the one that sailed of my B-day

[DisneyMom23Boys] I'm in the planning and dreaming state myself...14 months to go
[tinknme] Belle - how many cruises have you done
[Belle*] Great! So that's May 2005? tinknme - I've done 3. 2 DCL and 1 Royal Caribbean.
[DisneyMom23Boys] sounds like sooo much fun
[tinknme] east and west
[DisneyMom23Boys] dh's fav # is 5 and how could we not sail on the Wonder on 5-5-05???
[Belle*] No - I wish! I did the 3 and 4 night Bahamas cruises. No Caribbean yet!
[DisneyM5] How early should you plan to arrive at PC to check in?
[FanOfMickey] I am hoping to do a cruise when the magic goes out to cali for next summer ( hoping that rumer is true as you can tell lol)
[Belle*] DisneyMom - how cool is that?! My son's birthday is 2-3-4.
[DisneyMom23Boys] LOL

[Belle*] LOL thanks.
[tinknme] never did DC - want to do east - i love St Thomas
[DisneyMom23Boys] my youngest just turned 5 miss those baby, baby days
[Belle*] DisneyM5 - I usually get there between 10:30 - 11:00 but then I'm compulsively early.
[FanOfMickey] oh just saw east and west, thought that meant you did both lol
[DisneyMom23Boys] though sis is expecting baby in July!
[Belle*] Actually my son is in South Korea. We are in the process of adopting him!
[DisneyM5] And you can't board the ship unil Noon, right?
[Belle*] Noon-ish! They recently began boarding a little earlier occasionally.
[tinknme] i wish i did both - i'd be a seasoned cruiser
[DisneyM5] Good to know, thanks
[DisneyMom23Boys] we're hoping to drive straight through from PA & arrive at the terminal around 10 or so
[Belle*] You are required to be on board by 3:00 pm
[FanOfMickey] not sure if I have to do the cruise out of Florida which I would do lol
[DisneyMom23Boys] we received out DCL DVD and it's fabulous! Have you all seen it?
[DisneyM5] NO, not yet
[Belle*] We were just talking about it!
[tinknme] i'm ordering one tomorrow
[FanOfMickey] I have to order one tomorrow
[DisneyMom23Boys] you won't be disappointed
[Belle*] Did anyone see the "According to Jim" episodes on DCL?
[FanOfMickey] yeah, I did
[DisneyMom23Boys] that was funny
[FanOfMickey] it was ok, wish they showed a bit more of the ship lol
[DisneyMom23Boys] yes...and how about those bunks??
[Belle*] I have to mention - those bunk beds in their cabin do not exist on the ship!
[DrDolphin] *** Welcome to the PassPorter Chat! ***
[DisneyMom23Boys] LOL

[DisneyMom23Boys] we'll be celebrating oldest ds's 12th bday 5/7/05
[FanOfMickey] cool drdolphin, when is your birthday?
[tinknme] hi dr. d
[DrDolphin] sept 27
[Belle*] September is a great time to cruise. We did our first cruise in 9/01.
[FanOfMickey] cool, mine is the 20th
[DrDolphin] I am taking the 4 night DCL cruise leaving the 26th
[DisneyMom23Boys] with 5 of us we're getting the family stateroom
[Belle*] DisneyMom, is that a Category 4?
[DisneyMom23Boys] it might be crowded, but it's only for 3-nights
[DisneyMom23Boys] yes...cat 4
[DrDolphin] We (a running buddy and I) are getting a category 6 room
[DisneyMom23Boys] verandah?
[DrDolphin] yep
[DisneyMom23Boys] cool
[DrDolphin] that was our one must have
[Belle*] We had our first Verandah this past December. It was great!
[DisneyMom23Boys] we were thinking about saving $350 by having connecting inside staterooms
[DrDolphin] what are your opinions of nassau excursions?
[DisneyMom23Boys] buy dh said we needed to splurge for our first cruise
[Belle*] You know, for only 3 nights that might not be a bad idea!
[DrDolphin] we were thinking of just stayong on the ship and going to the gym, spa, pool, etc
[Belle*] 2 bathrooms, Mom and Dad get their own room....
[DisneyMom23Boys] could you really smell the ocean air good from your room with the door open?
[Belle*] DrD, we did that our first cruise. Having the run of the ship was really neat.
[TimonTracy] *** Welcome to the PassPorter Chat! ***
[DisneyMom23Boys] hi timon
[DisneyM5] HI Tracy
[DrDolphin] nothing really struck me as interesting in nassau
[Belle*] Welcome TimonTracy!

[TimonTracy] Hello folks !
[FanOfMickey] hi tracy
[Belle*] Hey, we've got 2 out of 3 of the famous Trio!
[DisneyMom23Boys] we're hoping to do the discover atlantis tour with our 3 boys
[DrDolphin] so instead of Nassau I am thinking spa treatment and gym sessions
DisneyMom23Boys] they've seen the atlantis hotel in a mary kate & ashley movie
[Tinker-Tosh] *** Welcome to the PassPorter Chat! ***
[TimonTracy] Atlantis is fun and cheap to do on your own
[DrDolphin] I don[t think I would be much interested in that
[Belle*] If you guys are looking for a great Cruise report, check out Tracys in our trip reports board!
[TimonTracy] Excursion-wise, the snorkeling is good.
[DisneyMom23Boys] welcome tink
[tinknme] hi tinker
[Belle*] Hi there TinkerTosh! Welcome to Cruise chat!
[DrDolphin] not a casino fan, and not into shopping there
[Tinker-Tosh] *** Goodbye, thank you for visiting! ***
[DrDolphin] I was planning on snorkeling at Castaway cay
[DisneyMom23Boys] well, gotta run
[DrDolphin] is nassau snorkeling better?
[Belle*] Night DisneyMom! Thanks for joining us!
[DisneyMom23Boys] it was nice chatting with you...maybe another time
[DisneyMom23Boys] thanks!
[DisneyMom23Boys] good night!
[tinknme] bi disney mom
[FanOfMickey] nite disneymom
[DisneyMom23Boys] *** Goodbye, thank you for visiting! ***
[TimonTracy] I've only snorkeled at Castaway Cay 2 or 3 years ago - I thought Nassau was better, quite honestly.
[DrDolphin] where do you snorkel in nassau?
[TimonTracy] If you have your own snorkel gear you can snorkel at Castaway Cay free.
[DrDolphin] I do and plan to bring it with me
[TimonTracy] My family and I took the Caribbean Queen Snorkel tour.
[DrDolphin] I am a marine biologist - so I have lots of dive gear
[TimonTracy] Of course, alot of fish come to the site they snorkel at because they are handing out food.
[DrDolphin] of course, I snorkel alot for work - maybe I will not snorkel on the criuse
[Belle*] DrDolphin - do you scuba?
[TimonTracy] They are improving Castaway Cay snorkeling by making a better habitat
[DrDolphin] yes I do belle
[DrDolphin] how tracy? artifical reef?
[TimonTracy] They have sunken things for the fish...
[DrDolphin] ok - artificial reef
[DrDolphin] anyone ever seen any large eels at CC?
[TimonTracy] *** Goodbye, thank you for visiting! ***
[TimonTracy] *** Welcome to the PassPorter Chat! ***
[TimonTracy] Hello?
[DrDolphin] hello
[Belle*] Hi Tracy! Did you get bumped?
[tinknme] Hello
[TimonTracy] No, I opened up a new IE window and bumped myself out and right back in.
[Belle*] Tracy - DrD was asking if anyone has ever seen any large eels at Castaway Cay?
[TimonTracy] I have only heard about Stingrays.
[DrDolphin] since I have never DCL cruised before - when do you find out your dining rotatiom?
[DrDolphin] I would love to see eels and stingrays
[TimonTracy] You find it out for sure when you get in your stateroom. However, sometimes it's easy to predict.
[Belle*] Your dining rotation is printed on your Key to the World card that you are given at check-in.
[DrDolphin] I want to celebrate my birthday at Palo - but have heard that you should not miss the 1st nite at AP
[Belle*] Since you are only doing a 4 nights and you are traveling with 2 adults you will most likely be TAP. Triton's, Animators, Parrot Cay
[DrDolphin] So we would have tritons twice?
[Belle*] You could but the second night would be the "Best Of" menu.
[Belle*] We usually do Palo that night.
[DrDolphin] Ok - which of those would you skip for Palo??
[tinknme] I think I got lost - Triton's Animators?
[TimonTracy] Parrot Cay or the Last Night.
[Belle*] My least favorite is Parrot Cay but they have my favorite dessert so it's tough!
[DrDolphin] If I am on the TAP rotation - which place would you skip for palo?
[Belle*] Triton's is one restaurant, Animator's Palette is another one.
[tinknme] thanks, belle,
[Belle*] Tough one! I would go the last night.
LilMarcieMouse] *** Welcome to the PassPorter Chat! ***
[DrDolphin] I won't know until the actual cruise though....
[DrDolphin] I hate not being able to plan more!
[FanOfMickey] hi marcie
[LilMarcieMouse] Ahoy amtes.
[DrDolphin] I am a planning nut
[Belle*] Hi LilMarcieMouse!
[DrDolphin] Hi Marcie
[Belle*] Welcome to Cruise Chat!
[tinknme] as I said Idon't know much about DCL - are you assigned to various restaurants?
[tinknme] Hi marcie
[LilMarcieMouse] tinknme you eat in all the restaurants
[Belle*] You have a set rotation of 3 restaurants tinknme. You are assigned a table and your servers and tablemates follow you on the roation!
[DrDolphin] Tink - I have not been, but there are 3 restaurants and you rotate through them
[DrDolphin] With 2 adults - will be seated with other people?
[tinknme] Sounds interestin
[DrDolphin] or at a 2 person table?
[LilMarcieMouse] It's fun to meet table amtes.
[Belle*] Most likely. I have yet to see a 2 person table. But I have heard rumors they exist!
[DrDolphin] I hope we are at a regular table
[DrDolphin] *** Goodbye, thank you for visiting! ***
[DrDolphin] *** Welcome to the PassPorter Chat! ***
[DrDolphin] bumped
[Belle*] Welcome back DrD!
[LilMarcieMouse] Welcome back Doc.
[DrDolphin] ok - as I was saying - I love cheryl to death as a travel buddy
[DrDolphin] but I want to meet other people too
[tinknme] welcome back Dr. D
[Belle*] But you want other people to mingle with?
[FanOfMickey] wb drdolphin
[DrDolphin] right belle
