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 The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk.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

all expense trip, where would you go ????
I was thinking tonight of the different places in the world I would go if I won an all expense paid trip, like that’s really going to happen to me. Tonight’s question is, if you won an all expense trip to any where in the world for your family, and could invite one Disney character (assuming that the character was a real living person, thing). Where would you go, and which character would you bring with you?
My choices are to go to Egypt, and I would invite Ariel.

Re: all expense trip, where would you go ????
I must be really boring as Disney is my answer... but i would want the Best suite at the Grand Floridian with all the extras, and i'd like it to be for at least 3 weeks!
but if that wasn't possible Hawaii would be nice or back over to Europe!

Re: all expense trip, where would you go ????
Australia and New Zealand with I don't know who, but Belle and Mary Poppins leapt to mind. Prince Charming (s) don't seem to have enough personality for me, thanks!

Re: all expense trip, where would you go ????
It would have to be Eeyore (provided he can speak to me! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] ) because by the time I'd finished taking him around the world with me, he wouldn't be miserable any longer! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/082502no_prv.gif[/img]
Places I'd stop off at include Iceland, Eastern Europe (Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Moscow), the Far East (China, Japan, Thailand), America (places we haven't visited yet, like Chicago, Seattle) and Canada. [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: all expense trip, where would you go ????
I'd go back to the British Virgin Islands and charter a really large sailboat and sail around the islands. I think it would be fun to have Captain Hook along on a trip like that! [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/rofl2.gif[/img]

Re: all expense trip, where would you go ????
Hmmm...I would still hang out in WDW and I would choose Prince Charming.
If not WDW, then I wouldn't mind dragging Prince Charming around the USA to see every state.

Re: all expense trip, where would you go ????
I would like to go on a tour of the Middle East, places like Jordan to see Petra, UAE, Oman and then on to the far east to see China, Japan, Vietnam and Cambodia. I would like to take Aladdin with me [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/love.gif[/img].

Re: all expense trip, where would you go ????
See, if I was offered an all expenses paid trip to anywhere, I'd pick WDW, too! This way, I could stay at a Deluxe Resort, eat at the Yachtman's Steak House and not have to worry about the cost of a Coke every hour adding up.
