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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

BF advice....
OK - here is the situation. As EVERYONE here knows - Scott and I have been dating since Dec 2, 2004 -- we are approaching 4 months together and 5 months since our first date. We spend every evening together and eat dinner together unless I am on travel or he is in Palm Beach for the new shop.. and we spend the entire weekend together...
That being said -- he says he does not know how he feels about me. ???? He says that "I enjoy our time together" -- but can not put into words how he feels.... I am not sure if this is because he comes from a family that does not describe their emotions (dad, Scott, Jeff and Mom - he says that "I love you" was not commonly heard around the house) or if, he just has no clue how he feels... which has me a wee bit worried.
I know that I want to be with someone that loves me like I love them... I know I love Scott. No question there (and I have told him that), but to have him say he does not know how he feels about me upsets and worries me a great deal.
Advice???

Re: BF advice....
Terri from what I read, Scott seems to really care about you. I told Allan I loved him after we had been together six months but he didn't answer me back in the same way. I don't think men are as vocal with their feelings as we women are. He does tell me he loves me now but it took him nearly two years to be able to say it. Now he tells me every single day that he loves me. I think it's very hard for them to say it that first time.
I would hang in there, it sounds like you have a good relationship and it's still early days. Just have fun, everything else will follow.

Re: BF advice....
Terri,
Here is a 
I know that must be a tough thing to hear. But sometimes coming from a family that is not open with their feelings can be a hard thing to overcome.
Don't give up hope!  |

I agree it may take him some time to be able to openly express how he feels.

I think that is excellent advice. Your relationship is still very young...give it some time and see how it develops. |

Re: BF advice....
I agree Terri that time is the answer. Guys are afraid to admit their feelings for fear of being hurt. It really does seem as if he cares for you or he would be making excuses not to be with you. You will know if it's not right.

Re: BF advice....
Here's a different take on the situation, he may have very strong feelings for you and he is "afraid" of them and not sure how to react. Hang tight and give it time |

This is a possibility also. From everything I have read over the months Terri, it seems that he does have strong feelings for you. Some guys are just unsure how to deal with feelings they perhaps have never had. Men are often also brought not to show emotions. DH was like that also and now he verbalizes his feelings alot. Just hang in there and know we are here for you! |

Re: BF advice....
Terri,
First thing I would ask myself is "How does Scott treat me" does he show his love in other ways ( like driving you to your procedure last month )
My DH is very clammy ( as is mouth SHUT) when it comes to saying I love you but he shows it in other ways..
If you are feeling good in the relationship.. give it time... he'll say it!!!
I'm rooting for you!
