Quick note to the DIS "powers-that-be": I admit to being annoyed that Universal Studios/Sea World Orlando gets higher placement on the main page than DL. I'm OK that they get their own section, but to place it higher than DL. . . hmmm. I struggle with that.
I can also admit I turn to these boards only when actively planning a trip. I found them for my last-minute day trip in May and remembered them for our upcoming Dec trip. After that, my participation will wane until we start to plan the next trip. I think traffic is dramatically affected by the difference in attendance and local vs. long-distance trippers between WDW and DL. Who, earlier in this thread, said to look at how Disney itself markets the parks? I couldn't agree more! People forget DL as it gets overwhelmed by the shadow of WDW. Kind of the kid sister who becomes the big star. . .
I totally agree with previous posters that some more forums would help "beef up" the site. I'd love to see some DL-based forums of the gazillion ones in the WDW section (Disney tips, anyone??). That said, the DL information page here (
http://www.wdwinfo.com/disneyland/) beats the heck out of sites like LaughingPlace! LP's data is SOOOOOOOOOOOO out of date! At least the info I found was (45th Anniversary parade info?!). I left LP without even checking their discussion boards after that!
If the workload seems large to "beef up" the site with more info, consider farming out some work. Call for submissions! The DIS mods get final say, but that might lighten the workload. I'm no professional writer, but I can put together a review, format a FAQ or collate! My skills are endless!
All kidding aside, there are a LOT of great people on this site with great skills--put'em to work!
Just my two cents. . .
