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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

My Minnie Antenna Topper is History
When I got my Odyssey back from it's check up I asked to have it washed. Well they did and they broke my antenna and my Minnie topper is history because it was Super Glued on  So now I have to visit my local Disney store to replace it. I'll tell you what that Super Glue really works!
The only upside is that now I can pick out a new topper!  |

Re: My Minnie Antenna Topper is History
I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I'll have to pass on the super glue trick to my sister. Her Minnie antenna topper was stolen this weekend in Staten Island.  |

Re: My Minnie Antenna Topper is History
I lost my Donald Duck topper in the carwash, too.  Fortunately, I made sure that I had spares before I ever mounted it!  |

Re: My Minnie Antenna Topper is History
Sorry about that!
We were car shopping this weekend and really like the Odyssey. However, the 2005 version does not have an exterior antenna! Where will I put my Sorcerer Mickey topper if we decide to buy?

My Ford's antenna has a little "knob" at the top and the foam toppers don't fit unless I widen the opening with a knife. Try that!

Re: My Minnie Antenna Topper is History
Hi Lisa,
Sorry to hear about your loss. I have never had to super glue mine. Also I like changing it every month for the different holidays. I have my Easter egg w/ears on it now. I am not sure what I will put on it next month sence there is no holiday in April this year.

Re: My Minnie Antenna Topper is History
Sorry to hear the sad news, I had my ghost Mickey stolen the day after Halloween. But I still have my Sorcerer Mickey! We also find our car by looking for Mickey, works well unless someone else also has the Sorcerer or black Mickey head. Kind of hard to tell the difference from 50 feet away! LOL

Re: My Minnie Antenna Topper is History
I had my princess Minnnie stolen from the Ren Fest last year. BOY was I mad!!!
I can't believe someone had the audacity to touch my vehicle and steal my antenna topper. How dare they!!!
Doesn't that really burn your bum? I mean really??!
PS> So sorry for your loss. I am feeling your pain. |

Re: My Minnie Antenna Topper is History
Okay...topper update. I visited our local DS and decided on the fabulous silver glitter mouse ear topper. Super glued it on last night and we're back in business!
I too find my car by the topper...we live in the land of silver Odysseys so it's hard to find!
Thank you all for your kind thoughts! |
