YourFirstVisit.net is the internet’s premier website for First Time Visitors To Walt Disney World.
This month marks the end of this great site’s fourth year on the internet!
The site was started four years ago with the intent of helping the first time Disney World visitor navigate the sometimes complex process of planning for and executing that first vacation. For those of us who have been to Disney several times it’s easy to forget how daunting planning that first trip to WDW can be.
The site is designed for first time family visitors to Walt Disney World who do not know if they will ever return. It guarantees the best possible first family visit to Walt Disney World for the least possible time spent planning!
The site’s about page says “It is a first-of-its-kind travel site that focuses on first time visitors, gives exact instructions for the best possible first trip, and—more importantly—gives next best choices ranked in order if these instructions can’t be followed.”
The First Time Visitor
YourFirstVisit’s owner/webmaster Dave conceived the idea for the site while attending a convention held at Disney World and once home began working on the idea.
Dave says “I keep the first time family visitor, unsure if they will ever return, and not really wanting to read 200 web pages or a 400 page guidebook, at the forefront of my thinking and writing.”
A Huge amount of research and detail go into Dave’s site. You’ll find many great graphics and charts which help detail for the WDW novice the best time to go to Disney World based on their preferences, WDW crowd levels, and price seasons for the various WDW resort categories.
Dave makes recommendations on the best resorts, attractions, and experiences for the first timer and explains why these might or might not be right for your first visit.
The Seasoned Veteran
While lots of information on the site is geared to the first time Disney World visitor, experienced WDW visitors can find lots of useful information on the site too.
I often find myself checking YourFirstVisit for information even though I’ve been to WDW countless times and even used to work there.
Dave has recently completed the arduous (some might say enviable) task of staying at each and every Disney World Resort. This has allowed him to write very detailed resort comparisons. Here is a recent three part post on the Disney Deluxe Resorts.
Besides the great resources mentioned above for deciding when is the best time for you to go to Disney, Dave recommends what to do once you are there. Check out his itineraries and dining recommendations.
A Great Resource
Military Disney Tips has lots of information geared to the MIlitary Member looking for discount information on Disney Vacations. And that remains our focus.
I find YourFirstVisit.net to be the perfect compliment to my site!
Please drop by YourFirstVisit.net to leave a happy birthday message today and also be sure to spend some time on the site when you begin planning your next post deployment leave or family getaway.
