The best WDW websites? About This Page:

[Snapple]

As you all know, I'm not quite sure when I'll make it back to the "World". In the mean time I need some way of getting my WDW "fix".

Besides Passporter, what are you favorite WDW sites? Trip planning, rumors, rare facts, etc. Anything to help me pass some time. Can anyone help me out?

[statelady01]

I think Deb Willis' guide is my favorite beside the Passporter site- it's got it all.

Planning Sites:

Passporter, of course.

Tagrel.com, another online Disney message board community.

Deb Wills' AllEarsNet, the site Maureen mentioned, whis is kinda like an encyclopedia of all things Disney World related.

DisneyPix, a fabulous site devoted to pictures of WDW, including a year-by-year timeline of what attractions/parks/resorts opened when.

Disney World The Unofficial Guide, another WDW encyclopedia and message board community run by and for U.K. visitors.

MouseSavers.com, Mary Waring's page devoted to cupons, codes, discounts, and cost-saving tips. I CAN'T live without this page!

Magical Journeys travel agency, the only travel agent I will use to book WDW trips and one of only a handful of agencies which specialize in WDW trips.

Accomodations sites:

Florida Hotels & Discount Guide, a great site for finding off-site hotel bargains.

ValueTrips.com, another great off-site hotel booking site.

Swan & Dolphin.com, home page of these fabulous WDW hotels.

Tikiman's Polynesian Resort Pages, a beautiful, in-depth history and tour of Disney's Polynesian resort.

WDW Area Disney Outlet Stores:

Belz Factory Outlet Mall, home of Character Premier and Character Warehouse.

Orlando Premium Outlets, home of Character Premier.

Lake Buena Vista Factory Stores, home of Character Corner.

Air Transportation Sites:

Baltimore Washington International Airport (BWI), my home airport.

Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, home page of the Orlando International Airport (MCO).

Miscelaneous Pages:

Urban Legends Disney page, which debunks some of the many wild rumors about WDW, and explains the details behind the true ones.

Britta Fill and Go water filtration bottle on Amazon.com. Just in case you can't find it at your local WalMart, Target, Giant Food, or other local stores or shops.

I-95 Exit Information Guide, which has tons of resources listing rest stops, food, gas, lodging, rest areas, tolls, construction, and lots more about the most-travelled Interstate highway on the East Coast.

WillCAD OnLine, my own personal web site, which has several of my WDW trip reports with photos, a few Disney parody songs, info on the Disney outlets stores, and tips on flying with film.

Many of my favorites were covered by WillCAD. I also really really like Tagrel's site. His trip reports are fantastic! His planning has given me great insight into my trip ideas - okay I've borrowed heavily from him for my Dec trip. [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img] His pictures are wonderful. I've listed a few more that I use:

Rumours/Upcoming Items/Preplanning:

WDWMagic

CM Newsletters Eyes and Ears

Jim Hill

PS Calculator and other Webtools

Scopa's stuff on Mouseplanet

Places I look at and download daily or weekly onto my palm via eguides or avantgo:

Intercot

WDW Live Entertainment

Menus from WDWIG

Updates to guides (I assume you have 2003 Passporters book marked already [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] ):
2004 Updates to Unofficial Guide


There are many forums that I look at as well.

[Snapple]

This should certainly get me started! Thanks guys! Keep them coming if you run think of any more!

[DaveH]

I did a search of albums on imagestation and there are alot of albums of pictures took at WDW. You can always check it out there too.

[Pyrite91]

I would have to add Tagrel (Thanks WillCAD for showing it to me) and the numerous sites on the MouseBar. The MouseBar can be downloaded here.

[DISNEYGOOF]

Thanks for all the web sites, I'm going to be
busy.

another up and coming site that has brought people back together from other disney sites who once were a big online family is:

Here's one more that I visit often (but not as often as Passporter, of course ):

www.mouseplanet.com

Hope that helps!

Okay, so technically this is not a WDW website but I like The Disneyland Source because it has a lot of multimedia and, as you can imagine, much of it is similar to attractions at WDW.

Another good one is Disney Forever.

It takes a while to download some of the multimedia via a modem but they do allow you to store them to your hard drive for later viewing, which is nice.

For UK based travellers there's our site UKDish Everyone is

Another good one is Disney Dollarless . It has some good ideas for saving money while in the world, and saving money to get to the world.
