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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

What\'s that on your.....
refrigerator? and what's your favorite item on it?
I've got about 10 WDW magnets, a bunch of magnets from pizza places and stuff, and 4 photos (one of DS--black & white--love it!, one of DH & me, one of DH & DS walking away carrying their fishing poles, and one of me and my two best friends).
My favorite fridge decor is the photo magnet of the 3 of us at Chef Mickey's on our 2000 trip.

We currently have lots of magnets, pictures of the kids and newspaper clippings of Katie from Softball. My favorite magnet is one that Katie made of her and her best friend at Halloween!  |

Re: What\'s that on your.....
We have a ton of magnets, some cupons, pictures, DD's artwork, Leapfrog ABC magnets, etc. Right now I have a few favorites up there. One is the ultrasound photo of our new baby, another is a photo of my Grandfather who passed away 3 years ago, and finally is the set of Chef Mickey photos, we have one of just DH and I on our honeymoon and one of the three of us taken this last December.

Re: What\'s that on your.....
I collect magnets from each place that either DH or I have lived or traveled and there are a few tossed in there that MIL has gotten me from places they have traveled. (There's almost no room to put anything else on there now . . . since Emilie takes everything off and we have to keep it all on the freezer door where she can't reach!)
My favorite items are my Mickey's Philharmagic magnet, my picture of Dopey from the Share a Dream Come True parade in October (when he stopped right in front of me ) and a really cute picture of Emilie from a christmas party in December. |

We have a lot of magnets on ours plus coupons for pizza places, subway, quizos and menus for the chinese take down the street. My favorite is a butterfly dd made in 1st grade along with a picture of our cat Smokey as a kitten.

Re: What\'s that on your.....
Lots of magnets, bunches of pictures, notepads
My favorite magnet is the monorail one that talks. "Please stand clear of the doors" I love to push it and remember the magic!!

Re: What\'s that on your.....
Ohhh...I could kick myself for not buying that monorail magnet when I really wanted it! We also collect magnets from everywhere we've been. My favorite is a hand painted one I picked up in Nassau on our cruise. My other favorite thing is the postcard "Mickey" sent us from Castaway Cay...

Re: What\'s that on your.....
We've got a heap of magnets and postcards - many of them Fairy Godmailings from my lovely donkey, who seems to think of me very often! My favourite thing though is the colouring my niece did for me of Eeyore. She did it when she was about eight or nine and she'll be 15 in April. She's shocked that I've still got it and that it's in such a prominent place, but I thought it was such a lovely thing to do that I wouldn't have it anywhere else.  |

Re: What\'s that on your.....
Many, many magnets-each season the boys have their pictures taken in whatever sport they are doing (usually baseball). We have magnets of them in every sea  son. Also-many papers from their schools with field trips, band info, etc. under the magnets. Also, Christmas card/pictures from dear friends. |
