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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Disney Ink Shop for personalized T-shirts and stuff
There was an article in Monday's USA Today regarding a new Disney website www.disneyinkshop.com
You can create your own T-shirts (and soon to be other stuff) and personalize them. They are trying to bank on the old archive stuff that there's never enough to make good money on (too much volume for too many stores with too little sales) but they could probably make good money only making a few, and this is the way to do it. Very interesting, and I can't wait to try out the site 
Click here for article
Okay, I just went to check out the site, Oh my gosh you guys, it is so cool, there is so much stuff  Go check it out   |

I've seen this site too! I can't remember where I read about it, but it looks really fun and I want to make shirts for my whole family before we go in May!

Re: Disney Ink Shop for personalized T-shirts and stuff
That site is cool. DH and I have been toying with the idea of everyone in our vacation party wearing the same shirt on one of our vacation days. This might be an option. Thanks for sharing the info.

Re: Disney Ink Shop for personalized T-shirts and stuff
I wonder how these are? Are they decals or some other way??? Thanks for the posting of this! I just might have to have some made up! I just wish that I could add my own phrase to it though!  |

I only checked the site briefly but I was under the impression that you could add your own phrase I know you can add a name and what not. |

Re: Disney Ink Shop for personalized T-shirts and stuff
I checked this out awhile back (looking to make myself a 40th b-day shirt!), but I thought it was very limiting since you can only pick a stock phrase. I also thought they were kind of spendy compared to the Disney Store site. I thought this was a much better deal and you can *really* personalize these for a great price! http://disney.store.go.com/DSSection...own&Page=1 |

Re: Disney Ink Shop for personalized T-shirts and stuff
Dawn, thanks for the other link. I wanted to add something of my own to it instead of being stuck with phrases that I can pick from. Thanks again

Re: Disney Ink Shop for personalized T-shirts and stuff
I got my t-shirts from the Disney Ink Shop and they turned out AWESOME! I purchased a Lilo & Stitch tank top for myself and a Mickey firefighter t-shirt for my 5 month old nephew. I also got a 101 dalmation ringer t-shirt for DH for his birthday! They were good quality shirts - and the designs were not cheap looking. Although they were a bit pricey - I would definitely recommend them! I plan on ordering two more t-shirts for our upcoming December trip - they had quite a few holiday selections. Happy Disney Designing! |
