TOP 10 OUTBOUND LINKS YOU CLICK

I link to a number of other sites, some from my Recommended Websites page, and some as “for more information” resources.

Two-thirds of the tens of thousands of outbound links that you click are to one of Disney’s sites. The top ten other most popular sites you click to from here are as follows:

  1. MilitaryDisneyTips.com, for more information on points of interest to military families visiting Walt Disney World
  2. TouringPlans.com, which I recommend all over the site for all kinds of reasons, but especially for their crowd calendar
  3. Mousesavers.com, recommended for more info on savings opportunities
  4. Mouseplanet.com, which I recommend for news, and often link to for more info on Disney news I write about
  5. Amazon.com, which my recommended books page–I badly need to update this page–takes you to if you click on one of the book links there.
  6. DestinationsinFlorida.com, my travel agent partners
  7. Shadesofgreen.org, the site for this special resort for military families
  8. Loewshotels.com, to which people go because I recommend a Loews Hotel, the Royal Pacific, in my instructions for visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter
  9. Tikimanpages.com, for more information on the Polynesian Resort
  10. Coronado Springs.tripod.com, for more information on the Coronado Springs Resort

TOP 10 MOST POPULAR PAGES

Excluding the home page, which if I put it on this list would be fifth, all of the top ten most popular pages on the site deal with when to go:

  1. Predictions of Future Crowds to use in picking your visit dates
  2. The list of 2011 Weeks to Visit Walt Disney World, Ranked in Order, based on crowds, prices, hurricanes, ride closures, etc
  3. The list of 2010 Weeks to Visit, Ranked in Order
  4. The details of 2011 Walt Disney World Price Seasons
  5. The basic guidance on When to Go, and why to go then
  6. The overview of the Best and Worst Times to Visit Walt Disney World
  7. Links to material on Next Best Dates if you can’t go the recommended weeks
  8. Material on weather and when to go
  9. The 2011 Week Picker–a tool for personalizing the best time for your family to go
  10. The 2010 Week Picker

MY PERSONAL TOP DISNEY-RELATED EVENTS OF THE YEAR

  1. Playing Tour Guide for my sister and the Test Niecelets, who had not been to Disney World since the 90s
  2. Seeing Disneyland for the first time since I was a boy scout…
  3. Seeing the Wizarding World of Harry Potter (and having my opening date prediction be off by only two days…)
  4. Seeing Wishes from my balcony at Bay Lake Tower
  5. Taking the tour of the Wilderness Lodge for the first time
  6. Seeing the Week Picker take off…building this was a lot of work, and I was not sure how it would be received…but 17,000 people used the 2010 version, and the 2011 version has already been used by more than 15,000 people in the 5 months it’s been up
  7. Stretching my imagination and image cropping skills to the utmost in inventing and depicting possible floorplans for the Disney’s Art of Animation Resort
  8. Finishing up my series of reviews of the Value resorts
  9. Reading Jim Korkis’s The Vault of Walt
  10. Stumbling on some fun, oddball, and interesting Disney websites new to me, especially betamouse (geeks 4 geeks) and Passport to Dreams
