The State of All in WDW – January Update

Here we are! Another month has passed!

If you read my one-month anniversary post back in December you know how grateful I am for the time you share with me every time you stop by to visit All in WDW. Well, make no mistake, I’m very grateful for every mouse-click you make that takes you into this world. I’ve had a blast in our first two months, and I can’t wait to keep on going!

We’ve had a busy month, haven’t we? Polls! Polls! Polls by the thousands! OK … not quite that many, but we did elect several Reader Favorites. Namely, these:

Favorite Disney’s Magic Kingdom Quick Service: Columbia Harbour House

Favorite Disney’s Animal Kingdom Attraction: Expedition Everest

Favorite Disney’s “Fab Five” Character: Mickey Mouse

Favorite WDW Moderate Resort: Port Orleans – French Quarter

Favorite WDW Value Resort: Art of Animation Resort

That was a lot of work!

We added several Tips and Tricks to our list – including …

… a great Magical Express tip from Facebook follower Will F. Plus, our Lines chat friend, @pod4christ, also gave us some advice on how he and his family more efficiently get back to Pop Century and Art of Animation via resort bus. Thanks, guys!

Remember, if you have a tip or trick you’d like to see recorded on All in WDW, send an email to [email protected]. Give us your tip suggestion, we’ll write it up, and post it to the site – giving you proper credit, of course!!

Speaking of @pod, Mrs. All in WDW and I met he and his lovely family at Disney’s Animal Kingdom on our impromptu visit to The World in early January. That was the first time we’ve gone to visit “It’s Tough to be a Bug!” in eons, and it was fun to see it with them. Thanks for sharing that bit of your vacation with us, pod!

On that same trip, I earned a couple of unique non-All in WDW accolades – I became the mayor of both Sanaa and Laguna Bar on Foursquare! How about that?! I’m still a “double mayor” as of this writing. Outstanding!

Now, we have arrived at my favorite part of the monthly update – the stats. When last I reported, we had concluded our first month with 5,012 page views (about 165 views per day). One month later, All in WDW has seen 12,404 page views for an overall average of 204 views per day. In our first month, our record day was 457 page views. This past month, we broke that record … and then shattered it two additional times with 471, 483 and then 498 page views. The most viewed post in the last 30 days (with 722 views) appeared just a few days ago – “Mug(ged) in Disney?” I said it last month, and I’ll say it again – phenomenal!!

The World of All in WDW has also gotten a lot bigger in the last 4-5 weeks. By December 18th, people from 18 different countries had touched our site. Now, that list numbers 33 countries! New to our “world” are: Norway, France, India, Italy, Mexico, Denmark, Ireland, Aruba, Finland, Bulgaria, Sweden, Poland, Singapore, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and Malta. Welcome, all! Thanks for your support and thanks for stopping by!

Finally, I want to specifically say thank you to all my Facebook and Twitter followers for your support. I want to thank everyone who has subscribed to the site via email or bookmarked it in your web browser. I want to especially thank all of you kind people who pop over from Reddit. You’ve all brought cheer to my life by participating in this little endeavor. Thank you!!

I wanna be a bus driver!!
