How did you plan your trips before the Internet

Thanks for reminding me about what RADP was; like a stroll down memory lane! We actually attended a RADP meet in December 1999 and were part of about 12 boats booked for Illuminations that trip. It was quite an active newsgroup back then and almost the only way I got my Disney information online.

To really date myself I remember being excited when I got an account for posting online on at a newsboard at the local university. Woo Hoo! Very few people had an account back then and I used a little Mac Apple IIe for that and word processing.

Now I'm excited about my first tablet (Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 Tablet 2014)! I'm a bit behind the times I guess!

On another board, IMDB, I went back even further and referenced FIDOnet.

But back in day pretty much the only game in town was r.a.d.p. and www.wdwig.com (which is now allears.net). Also Jeff Spence had a FAQ on FW we used once when we stayed in a cabin in '99.

I remember wdwig! I had totally forgotten about that.

That's so true! Planning for Disney over the years has really taught me so much about trip planning for anywhere. DH knows and expects that I will have the required (and more) information at my fingertrips when we travel. If I can't answer a question he looks at me with that shocked look!

Mine is the same way. He seems to think that just because I know Disney inside and out I'm some sort of master travel agent that can plan a trip anywhere in the world down to the most minute details...

And given enough time I probably could.
