See also section
The fact that this entity is owned by Disney is mentioned in the article and in the categorization, therefore the see also section is not necessary. Gentgeen 05:28, 13 Aug 2004 (UTC)
The tunnels?
any reason there is no information on the tunnels underneath Walt Disney World? http://www.ekday.com/blog/files/8036d653b430ffa276d8767dde659c06-28.html

Is it just me or is the Walt Disney World guide on Wikitravel really poor? Even the name is bad - Disneyworld. Speedway 18:42, 29 Dec 2004
New pic of castle
I changed the greeting picture of Cindy Castle to an updated, decorated version for the 50th anniversary of Disneyland. I will replace the image with the old image, a plain castle, when the celebration ends. I just feel that, as the information is updated, so should the pictures be, and the images should represent what the subject looks like at that point in time. --Speedway 15:57, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
External links
I just removed these external links from the article:
- The latest Walt Disney World and Disney news
- Laughingplace.com - Even more of the latest Walt Disney World and Disneyland news
- WDWMagic.com - Focuses mainly on rehab, new attractions and other news at Walt Disney World
- All Ears Net - Unofficial Walt Disney World Information Guide
- ExploreTheMagic.com - Disney World Information including maps, hours, tickets, a trip/budget planner and more
These are news and fan sites about Disney World. Wikipedia is not a place to link news and fan sites, because if we link any, then we have to link all of them, and there are way too many out there. It's not hard to find news sites or fan sites out there - just use Google, or Dmoz, or any of hundreds of other directories or search engines. I'm deleting these links because they don't directly contribute to anything in the article. If you want to add an External Link to an article on one of these sites that specifically adds more detail to something covered in the article, then that would be fine. (See Wikipedia:External links, specifically the "Maybe OK to add" and "What should not be linked to" sections.) - Brian Kendig 16:56, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
- Tasmanet (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · edit filter log · block user · block log) keeps adding an external link of little value; typically makes multiple edits within minutes to disguise the change; now being abusive when asked to stop --Whoville 13:45, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
I added them back! I have been to these links when I planned my trip last year, and they provided information on the parks, rides, resorts, etc. they halp plan trips! --72.155.48.210 21:11, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
I have to say of all the external links that have been removed from this article. I really think it would be useful to have allearsnet.com added back. Having used the site a number of times, I believe it adds value by being there. Both has a referance and a site with more current information.

Re-writes/Editing
I've been doing some editing and rewrites on some of the Disney articles, with a focus on this page. A look through the history of this article revealed that it’s a compilation of many layers of information by a multitude of users. Although the information seems right on the money, I felt it sounded a little choppy with a paragraph here and a sentence plastered in there. I've been working to get everything to flow a little better.
I hope no one will take great offense. I'm just an English major and Disney fan who is trying to get this article up to the best quality. I promise to leave the information as is, while trying to make the information all as clear as possible. Thanks Lucky bunni 05:08, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
Water Parks
I just reverted an edit that said that there are 3 water parks at WDW. I would presume that this person edited in good faith thinking that River Country is still open (which, of course, it isn't). Just to put my mind at rest, Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach are the only water parks at WDW, right? KC. 02:09, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Repeated linkspam
There's been a determined effort to plant links to a commercial site about Disney trivia into numerous Wikipedia articles lately. Today was the latest example — a direct link added to this article's External links section and a new entry added to the Development timeline section with a link to one of the site's subpages. A different IP address was warned after adding the same link to dozens of Disney attraction articles a few days ago . Whoville 23:31, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
Disney template?
Should the general Disney template be added to this page? --Comthought 20:55, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
Osbourne Family Spectacle of Lights
I'm a Florida resident and last I checked the Spectacle of Lights had nothing to do with the Osbourne Family. I'm suspecting vandalism, but I couldn't find where it had been added in the history, so I didn't want to take it out in case it was legit. Someone should check up on that.
Nope! It is correct. :) --Comthought 07:08, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
Actually, the original poster is right. The spectacle of lights does have nothing to do with the Osbo u rne Family. It has to do with the Osborne family ;) KC. 23:00, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Rumored 5th park?
Has anyone heard anything about a rumored 5th park? Willshepherdson 04:21, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
It could be assumed that the World of Sports is a park, but that's mighty unlikely.
World of Sports is NOT a park.
While a fifth park is not currently in the works, there are several park ideas floating around through WDI (Walt Disney Imagineering) should Bob Iger feel the need to announce and build a fifth. Three ideas that are known to the public include Michael Eisner's failed 'Disney's America' park which was to be built in northern Virginia dealing with the history of America. The second is a Florida version of Tokyo Disneyland's 'Tokyo DisneySea'. The third is the Disney villians park called 'Disney's Shadowlands'; the idea was to create a thrill-ride park for young adults to take away from the impact of Universal's Islands of Adventure.

Criticisms
I've been there, and they don't enforce safety much. I have also read the Death stories and I thought I would put this article here so others could know. If I'm missing anything, let me know.
Thanks,

Please explain to me what part the information on the largest purchaser of disney tickets was spam? It was factual information that had a cited source and it pointed to an internal article, not an external website. Someone please explain that????? User:Geniusboy
Ticket pricing
I have removed the section on ticket pricing because this information is likely to change faster than we can keep it updated. It also seems more appropriate to a travel guide than to an encyclopedia article. If anyone cares to maintain this information, Wikitravel might be a better place to do so. Or just a link to an official pricing page seems quite sufficient.
If someone wants to add information about how ticket pricing has changed over time, or how it compares to other theme parks around the world, that would be more encyclopedic.
-- Beland 22:03, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
I believe they only change prices once or twice every year, which wouldn't be too quick to update, but you're right that it doesn't belongInvisibleman5108026 05:09, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
I think ticket pricing (maybe with a historical context) would be very informative for an encyclopedia article. There is plenty of other economic discussion in the article, and plenty of attendance discussion, why is ticket pricing left out? That is the missing information needed to understand the other two figures. And they're all likely to change over time. 24.131.83.181 18:43, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
NPOV
This article has nothing negative whatsoever to say about Disney World. I'm sure many people have criticized it over the years; it would be more balanced to include a sampling of notable opinions. -- Beland 22:05, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Map request
It would be helpful to have a map showing where Disney-owned properties are with respect to neighboring municipalities, and where the major parks and attractions are. -- Beland 22:06, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
Ocoee
According to many advertisements, brochures, etc. I have seen, they all claim Disney World is located in Ocoee, Florida. The article simply states 'being in Orange County'. Can anyone confirm this? My hotel in Ocoee (I happen to be in Florida) has a big poster outside of my door saying it's the home of Disney World, Sea World, etc. Øř ê ōş 17:40, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
