How to get the most...

...out of this website:

Since I joined this site waaaaaay back in Oct 2000, I've been pleased to see it grow in leaps and bounds - not only in the number of posts but also the membership. Right now we have approximately 7,153 members! And we continue to grow.

But the forums are not the only part of this site that has grown. Joanne has a [u]real[/i] unofficial Disney website out there - a site with all sorts of information about the parks, tickets, dining, fireworks and parade hours, etc. There is so much information! And it continues to grow, as well. Some of it with your help - including photos of the resorts, menus from the restaurants, reviews, etc., that you've sent her.

Some time when you log on and there's not much happening and you've read all the new posts, scroll to the top of your screen. See all the underlined stuff? Those are links to information that Joanne has worked hard to obtain. You will even find info on some of the "other" parks in Orlando - like Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, and SeaWorld. The way to find the most up-to-date info is to click on one of those links.

At the top of your screen you will also find companies advertising their businesses - they support this site. When you are thinking of leasing a limo, or buying park tickets online, check out the links above. Using those companies helps to keep this site going.

So if you want to get the most out of this site, be sure to check out the links above. just thought you'd like to know!

One thing that can be really useful is to print off the information that you find really pertinent to your currently planned or upcoming visit. That way you have a little personalized tour guide of your own. A small three ring binder, or even paper folder is a great way to keep it with you. You can put in your PS times, confirmation numbers and itinerary plans too, along with your helpful tips and info from here. :yes: :ears:

You are right twink, there is MUCH information on this site! That's because our Joanne takes her site very seriously and keeps it updated on a weekly basis.

its taken me a couple of weeks to go through most of it as there is so much detail......... even things that the official site hasn't got on. Its also brought back a lot of happy memories

or you can cut and paste the relevant bits into a word document :)

And carry the computer around with you? :D

Printing off the desired info makes it a little easier to handle in the parks. :D

Before our trips I make small "cards" with all the pertinent info on them - usually day by day - and then I laminate them. Tuck them into my camera bag and I'm good to go!
