Incredible site for WDW

**MissDisney** · 03-08-2004

If you haven't already gone onto this site, check it out! Click on wallpaper, and look at all the pictures (they are divided by park)! You will feel like you are already on vacation at WDW! I don't know how this guy got all these pics... The site is www.wdwfan.com

**Dana** · 03-08-2004

I have seen this site and it is really cool to look at. That guy is WAY over the top. Love his dedication. Thanks for reminding abou this...fun to look at.

I have never seen that site! looks great! I don't have that mucht time to do a good search around it (Im actually in class right now!). But I'll check when I get out of here!

ZarSu · 03-08-2004

ummmmm, I must be missing something or the DNS's have not updated here yet but I still get a dead site. Yesterday it showed an empty site now it shows as a dead site, I have had the site in Powermarks for weeks, and noticed it went dead the other day. I have a feeling that they just changed hosts or something.

I can't log onto that site tonight, either.

**MissDisney** · 03-09-2004

I just checked this morning, and it has vanished for me as well. But I surfed around it happily just two days ago. Give it a few days and try again... you'll be really impressed with what this site has to offer, if it ever gets going again.

I can't get into it either! :madmad

DisneyHog6 · 03-11-2004

I just tried it again today, and it still isn't working... :( I've never seen this site before, so I was really looking forward to it. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Guess I'll have to keep checking. Thanks for the info MissDisney.

**MissDisney** · 03-11-2004

To everyone who tried this site on my recommendation, I am so sorry! It vanished the day after I posted, and it is such a shame! It had hundreds and hundreds of photos that you could use as desktop wallpaper. And the photos were absolutely terrific. You really felt like you were in Orlando! We have used it for wallpaper for over a year!
Anyway, I will check periodically and see if it ever is working again, and I will post to everyone if I find it!

ZarSu · 03-13-2004

I sent the owner of the domain an email to see if she is planning to reopen the site. We'll see what happens.

MissDisney,

My sister is thinking of going to the Vistana hotel in a few weeks. I noticed that you have stayed there in the past and was wondering if you would recommend this for children ages 3, 12, and 14. She is not planning on visiting WDW until next year.

Thanks!

I tried checkign this site out the day after you suggested it and it was not up then. I figured it was down temporarily. But it is still down!:(

**MissDisney** · 03-14-2004

Hi! We have stayed at Vistana (the Vistana Resort near WDW, not Vistana Villages, which is far away) several times, and we really loved it. The price for a really beautiful 2 bedroom 2 bath was around $189, and you can go online before your trip and order groceries, which will be in your fridge when you check in! It is gated and secure, has a Haagen-Dazs and Pizza Hut as well as a little grocery store and a couple of restaurants, and it is very convenient to WDW. You can order cocktails and burgers poolside. Because the kids you mentioned are small, this would be a terrific choice because the resort has fantastic baby pools, with squirting jets and plenty of room to play in kid-shallow water. It also has waterfalls and organized pool games for older kids. There is maid service every day, as well. She should request the Cascades Section, as it is the newest and nicest.

Hey everyone!

I was alerted to this thread by Zar. I'm Rob, the webmaster of wdwfan.com.

Unfortunately, wdwfan.com is down for good (or at least a long time). Some things have come up and I simply do not have the time right now to spend on the site. My hosting package was up for renewal (on a yearly basis) so I took a last minute decision to not renew. I was at WDW when I made the decision, so I wasn't able to put up an announcement on the site in the days before it went down. Sorry for the confusion.

To answer a question about where the pictures came from ... well, I took them. I love WDW and I love taking pictures, so I put the two together on the web. If anyone has any questions about the site, about WDW pictures or is looking for a specific picture, just post it here. I'll check back.

Thanks to everyone who visited the site and for all the kind words about it.

Take care.
Rob.

Well Rob, thanks for giving us the answer we were looking for. I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to see your site before it left us.
