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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

Re: Pocahontas character greeting
When we were there in May, we saw her at AK right by the entrance taking pics and signing autographs. I didn't see her at MK at all during our visit.

Re: Pocahontas character greeting
We saw Pocahontas on our way out of Adventureland in MK (April 2005) 
She greeted us with "Wingapo" and asked the girls what village they came from  |

Re: Pocahontas character greeting
There is a show in AK, Pocahontas and Forest Friends, with Pocahontas showing different little animals (or something like that).

Re: Pocahontas character greeting
you might want to check this out (and i'm not sure why i haven't posted this earlier with related questions)
http://www.geocities.com/TheRustyScu...cterFinder.xls
it's an excel spreadsheet which lists all the characters and where you're most likely to find them.
for example, Pocahontas is most likely to be found at MK in Adventureland, Fantasyland in Ariel's Grotto, Toontown Hall of Fame, Disney Studios Great Movie Ride courtyard, AK Oasis, Rafiki's Planet Watch / Conservation Station and the following character meals: LTT, Garden Grill and Hollywood & Vine |

Re: Pocahontas character greeting
We saw her last Nov at Rafiki's Planet Watch. She was inside the building with Rafiki and Stanley and there was NO ONE around! (It was during the parade, btw). It was so nice b/c she really spent time w/ DDs, asking about their tribe and their parents and such. She was perfectly in character and they were in awe!

Re: Pocahontas character greeting
We saw her on our January trip and she was in the area on the back side of Liberty Square off to the side of one of the bridges that goes to Adventureland. It was kind of an out of the way place to be. I think we may have passed her in Adventureland in May but it was too crowded to stop. We also saw her at Rafiki's Planet Watch, but that was in 03.
If your DD loves Pocahontas be sure to check out her show in AK. It is very cute and she will probably love it.

Re: Pocahontas character greeting
We saw her right outside of AK on the way out of the park at closing time. She was there as was timon and rafiki...they were on the other side of the walkway.
Good Luck

Re: Pocahontas character greeting
We saw her in June in Adventureland right outside the Swiss Family treehouse. Meeko was there too...it was great! We got both autographs. Then, during extra magic hours at MK, we got Gov. Radcliffe too!

Re: Pocahontas character greeting
I would try to see her at her show at the Animal Kingdom. I'm pretty sure the kids can take pictures afterwards.

Re: Pocahontas character greeting
Yeah, check out the show at AK. They make sure that the lil'ones sit up front. It's called Pocahontas and Her Forest Friends, located at Camp Minnie-Mickey. My pictures didn't turn out that well from the show, I think it was the different colors of the lighting. With that said, it was a very cute show. I think your daughter will love it. Very colorful! |

Re: Pocahontas character greeting
I have never seen her, and I was really curious, does she wear shoes? |
