I have tried to design this site so that first time family visitors don’t need any more information than what it presents. But if you do, or are just curious, the websites below are wonderful.
BASICS FOR THE FIRST TIME FAMILY VISITOR
- disneyworld.com the official site…
- Official Walt Disney World Calendar Site park hours, events, and Extra Magic Hours, next six months. Once you have the month and park up, click on the date to get the schedule for that date
- Len Testa and Bob Sehlinger’s TouringPlans.com the unofficial site…
- Steve Soare’s Walt Disney World Live Entertainment show schedules for current week
- Deb Wills’s AllEars.Net tons of information on almost any Walt Disney World topic
- Mark Goldhaber’s weekly Walt Disney World Park Update on MousePlanet (see below) is mostly too geeky for first time visitors (I, a confirmed geek (just ask my boys), read every word except for the stuff about various WDW marathons), but in the middle of the page almost always has great information on upcoming ride closures, hotel renovations, and such.
- Mary Warings’s MouseSavers.com additional money saving ideas
- DISboards.com discussion board where you can get basic questions answered
OTHER GREAT DISNEY WEBSITES
- MousePlanet.com Like AllEars.Net above, but with more news.
- Jim Hill’s jimhillmedia.com eclectic, sometimes cranky, news about the world of Disney and related topics
- Lou Mongello’s disneyworldtrivia.com–great trivia, and lots more
- Re-Imagineering fascinating material from Disney insiders on what might be/have been
- Craig Miller’s Google Earth Community: The ULTIMATE Walt Disney World Collection just what it looks like…Aerial photos of WDW with millions of tags.
