Official / Commercial Sites

Walt Disney World Official Web SiteFor official information, to contact Walt Disney World directly, to make bookings, etc. then you need to visit Disney’s own web site.
OrlandoMaps.co.ukHome of Steve Munns’ excellent Orlando tourist map. Highly recommended - don’t leave home without it!

WDW Trip Planning / Forum Sites

The DIBB Disney Orlando Holiday Planning The DIBB (Disney Information Bulletin Board). British Disney holiday planning site which, as a Brit, is my usual online haunt as the folks there are local for me and very friendly and helpful; you’ll usually find a quick and accurate answer to any WDW related question here. For Port Orleans related questions, visit their Resorts, Hotels & Accommodation subforum.
DISboards.com The “DIS boards” is probably the best known and largest US-based Disney Parks fan discussion forum. For Port Orleans related questions, check out their Disney Resorts subforum - the Port Orleans Riverside FAQ & Comments thread alone runs to nearly 2,000 posts!
AllEars.net If you want to know anything about Walt Disney World - from the parks to the hotels to the cost of an ice cream - then Deb Wills’ site is a sure place to get the information you need. They also have some excellent and very detailed Port Orleans pages in their Accommodations section.
MousePlanet.comMouse Planet is an informative Disney theme parks site with some great blogs. I especially like their weekly WDW Park Update news & rehab information.
WDWInfo.comAnother great WDW news resource, and home of the DIS boards (see above).
WDWMagic.comAnother particularly useful WDW news and information site.
Disney Echo MessagesThe Disney Echo is a social message board that’s been operating for even longer than the Internet! The Echo was first started in 1992 by a husband and wife team using the old FidoNet network, and has been going strong ever since.
TouringPlans.com Website of the Unofficial Guide to Walt Disney World book, this is a great planning resource and the site has a very useful Crowd Calendar. The book also contains some very useful comparative information about the resorts and its surveys rate the Port Orleans resorts as the top two Moderates.

Podcasts

WDW Today Podcast WDW Today is a chat-based audio podcast featuring four knowledgeable regular hosts and occasional guests discussing all aspects of visiting Walt Disney World. It’s my main “must listen to” Disney podcast. Just ask for Doctor Scopa’s Miracle Elixir.
WDW Radio Show Presented by Disney trivia expert Lou Mongello, the award-winning WDW Radio Show is a very professionally produced weekly podcast containing news, rumours, interviews and feature articles on all aspects of Walt Disney World.
Inside the Magic One of the longest-running WDW-related podcasts, Inside the Magic is another great source for news and views on what’s going on in the Florida parks. The presenter is also the publisher of the new Orlando Attractions magaine.
