Comprehensive (Hopefully) Disney World Discount Overview

[WDWFigment]

I've been working on a comprehensive overview of different current and future discounts offered at Walt Disney World along with a bit of my commentary as to the quality of said discounts.

I did this because I noticed that a lot of what's out there about discounts can be overwhelming for the first time guest (just looking at the multi-page threads detailing every nuance of, and speculating about, certain discounts is proof-positive of that), even if it's fun for more seasoned-visitors like this. My goal was to be comprehensive with discount information, but at the same time keep things only on one page that can be easily digested by the casual guest.

I have a draft up now on my website, and I'd love your feedback. What am I missing? Is it still too verbose? I think we Disney fans err on the side of over-inclusion, so I've tried not to be too-long winded, but I still might have gone into too much detail for the casual reader. http://www.disneytouristblog.com/disney-world-discounts-2012/

I'd really appreciate your feedback. I plan on refining this post and eventually writing something similar for the Huffington Post, where I also cover Disney (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tom-bricker). A recent post I wrote about Disneyland (with a photography slant) was featured on AOL's homepage, so I want to make sure I have this good and polished before I head there with it.

Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated!

Love what you have put together and I have saved your page to my favorites.

I may be picky here but would love to see a list at the top of the blog if possible. Would love for that to click to a specific section or at least let me have an idea of how far down I need to go for what I am looking for.

Also, the room only discount section. I thought you could turn a room only discount into a package. For me the wording led me to believe this was not possible.

Also, just got caught up in reading your blog about the point and shoot camera's, I am hooked on that one.

Thanks for the feedback, you're not being picky at all! One of the reasons I made this page is because I've found other discount resources unwieldy and including superfluous information for the average guest. (I remember the first time I received a PIN code and came online to figure out what the heck I had...I probably read for 2 hours trying to learn all of the ins and outs of the precious little code!)

Your first point is excellent, I definitely need an in-page navigation system that allows readers to click the listing and go down to that specific section. I will add that this evening when I get home.

As for your other point, another great one. My wording definitely wasn't the best. I meant to convey that the DDP isn't included in room-only discounts (should be sort of obvious, based upon the name, but I didn't want to assume people would know), but I definitely didn't make that clear. I've edited the post and (hopefully) now it is abundantly clear.

Thank you for your suggestions. If you have any others, please let me know!

I think it's great! As long as you continue to keep it updated with new discounts as they are released, it'll be a great resource!!
