This is the program I use to countdown to my next Walt Disney World vacation. Not only does this keep track of when you will leave for the trip (right down to the seconds!), it also features WDW trivia and a great place to keep notes about your upcoming trip. I use the notes to organize all the numbers you have to keep track of. From airline reservations and car rental information to all our PS places, dates, times and confirmation numbers. Not to mention the stuff I copy off the Internet like Early Entry Park days, Disney Club discount restaurants and shops, information about the resorts, special events while we are there, and the list goes on. Let me just say, this is the handiest little program I have ever used. And, it's FREE!! Thanks, Chris!!!

Stu Barton of theDIBB has created a complete Walt Disney World daily planner program which you can download from his site (use link above). You can plan each day you are at the WDW resort along with text areas to put in general travel information and notes. There's even a place to keep your priority seating information including your confirmation numbers. Bless his heart! This is a great way to organize your stay before, during and after your trip (to write up those all important trip reports your Internet buddies will be bugging you for!). The latest version 2.2 has been updated with the new 90 day PS policy.

Countdown your special trip or event in Disney style with the free MouseHouseMagic countdown tickers. Registration as a member of the forum is required to create your own magical ticker for use on your blog, webpage, forum or email signature file. Choose from special character, resort and holiday themed graphics that sprinkle a little pixie dust to your wait. Our countdown tickers won't make the date arrive any quicker but they can make the anticipation a little more magical. Thanks, DisneyAnne!

The Disney Trip Countdown widget allows you to keep a running count down to your next Disney vacation in days, hours, minutes, and seconds on your dashboard. It includes icons for Walt Disney World, the Disneyland Resort, Disneyland Resort Paris, the Tokyo Disneyland Resort, and Hong Kong Disneyland, as well as the Disney Cruise Line. You can have as many concurrent countdowns running at once as you like. The layout of the widget is modeled after the road signs at Walt Disney World. This widget is for Apple computers running OS X ver. 10.4 (Tiger) or above. Thanks to Sam at Thereis Software!

Think you can afford the Grand Flordian? Or just want to budget for your next WDW vacation. This calculator will give you an estimate on how much a stay at any of WDW great resorts costs. A couple of warnings here. This is an estimate and does not take into account any specials WDW may be running and/or discounts. It does not give you an option for the Length of Stay (LOS) passes either. It does double duty as you can read detailed descriptions, reviews and view photos of rooms, food courts, exteriors and the great Disney theming found at WDW resorts. However, it is a great tool, brought to us by Our Laughing Place Travel, to start your WDW vacation planning and there is no obligation to use it. Thanks, Ahnalira!

Ever wonder if your child is old enough or tall enough to go on Space Mountain or Big Thunder Mountain? This handy little calculator will give you a list of all WDW rides your child can ride just by entering in his or her's age and height. Another handy little tool from the DIS. Thanks, Pete!

Not only does this allow you to create a fast desciption of each bag you are taking to Walt Disney World and lets you enter in an inventory of each bag (great for insurance purposes!) but it prints out a neat Luggage Tag for each of your bags complete with contact information both for home and your resort. A color printer would be great but not required. Another FREE tool from those wonderful people who bring you the PassPorter travel guides, Jennifer and Dave!

It is very easy to download the cards themselves using any browser. You will need Microsoft Word to edit and print the cards. Thanks, Dave!

I've been told the programs found on Caskbill's DVC Program Download page are the ones to get if you need to Plan, Chart or Track your DVC points. Comes highly recommended by members of the DVC gang on the DISboards. Thanks to RLM for this link!

How can I get there from my resort? How long does it take? How do I get to Pioneer Hall for my Hoop-Dee-Doo seating? Well, my friends, the wonderful folks at OurLaughingPlace.com has come to your rescue! Why it can't be accurate to the minute, it does give you time estimates and, even better, it tells you how to get from one place to another at the Walt Disney World resort. Thanks, again, Ahnalira!

Search by Location, Cuisine, Price Range or Meal Type (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner or Character) or any combination. You can even type in a specific location or restaurant name. For example, just select Character for your meal type and hit the Submit button and, just like magic, you get a listing of all the Character meals at WDW. From those wonderful folks at the DIS!

Deb's Unofficial Walt Disney World Information Guide (WDWIG for short), now known as AllEarsNet, has developed a nifty on-line database for getting directions from either of Orlando's airports to all the WDW resorts.
