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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Wearing Bride and Groom ears when it\'s not your honeymoon?
When DW and I were on our honeymoon trip back in October 2001 we didn't wear bride and groom ears. Needless to say we regret it now. This next trip we are going to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Would it be "bad" or inappropriate for us to wear them on our anniversary trip?

Re: Wearing Bride and Groom ears when it\'s not your honeymoon?

Re: Wearing Bride and Groom ears when it\'s not your honeymoon?
I'm pretty sure I saw a couple wearing those around on our last trip, who said they were celebrating an anniversary (40 years or something). I definitely think it is appropriate to wear on your anniversary! You're celebrating!

Ryan,
I don't really know about ears etiquette but I think people will just assume that you are on your honeymoom.You can say that you're on your second HM. Happy aniversary,
have a great trip.

Re: Wearing Bride and Groom ears when it\'s not your honeymoon?
We not staying at the same place as our first honeymoon (as I am now referring to it  ). We stayed at the GF the first time, but I don't think we'll ever be able to afford it again.
It's funny someone mentioned the birthday thing too. My birthday is the following week (10/15) and I was wondering about wearing a birthday pin one day during the week we are there. |

Re: Wearing Bride and Groom ears when it\'s not your honeymoon?
I don't think there's anything wrong with it - hubby and I will be doing the same when we go in September. It'll be our second wedding anniversary and we're having a re-hitching ceremony at the Garden Grill so were going to wear them for that Have fun wearing your ears!

Re: Wearing Bride and Groom ears when it\'s not your honeymoon?
Honeymoon or Anniversary shouldn't matter - you guys are the bride & groom and you are at WDW celebrating that. I'd say wear the ears and have a great time! |

Re: Wearing Bride and Groom ears when it\'s not your honeymoon?
Go for it! DH and I wore them on our honeymoon trip then again on our trip in May (our first anniversary). It adds just the right amount of magic to the trip!

Why Not? You'll be there celebrating your wedding day anyway, who cares if it's a year later?

Re: Wearing Bride and Groom ears when it\'s not your honeymoon?
I think it's a wonderful idea to wear your bride and groom ears while on your anniversary trip. I believe that you can even get the date written directly right on the ears part when you purchase them so perhaps you can have that added if you want to commemmorate your anniversary. As for celebrating your birthday a little early, why not? Just get the birthday button for each theme park and enjoy yourself! After all, that's what Disney fun is all about.
Joy
