Official Disney Web Sites
All the major players are here, organized in their order of
relevancy for someone planning a Walt Disney World vacation. Remember that each of these
sites are Disney's own and thus won't contain opinions. Even so, these sites are
indispensable for looking up the sort of information that Disney knows best, such as rates
and schedules. If you find a discrepancy between an official page and an unofficial page,
it is usually safest to go with the "official line." We should note that even
the official webmasters make mistakes however (as we discovered in doing the research for
the PassPorter Walt Disney World travel guide).

the "official line" on Walt Disney World. Information on the parks, resorts,

quite large and deep, making navigation confusing at times
