Hello, all!
My apologies. This one’s a few days late as we actually hit All in WDW’s third month anniversary this past Monday. The fact is, we were in the middle of appointing Flying Fish Cafe as our Favorite Crescent Lake Table Service Restaurant, and I didn’t want to throw a big interruption in our way! Nonetheless, here it is – the February Update.
We accomplished quite a bit this past month. When it came to polls, we also crowned IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth as our Favorite Epcot Attraction by the narrowest of margins – 44 to 43 over iconic Spaceship Earth. In addition, we …
… journeyed to Pizza Planet to find our Favorite Disney’s Hollywood Studios Quick Service.
In one of the most enjoyable polls of the month – for me, at least – we re-imagined World Showcase. As far as I’m concerned, we are completely right – Australia/New Zealand, Russia, and India should be added to Epcot’s International collection of treasures with all haste.
All in WDW’s biggest news of the last thirty days was my introduction as a guest reviewer on A.J. Wolfe’s Disney Food Blog. It was an incredible honor to have DFB let me grace their pages when they published my Photo Tour of Hurricane Hanna’s Waterside Bar & Grill. Give it a read! It was a great opportunity for me.
Finally, we introduced All in WDW’s “bank” of WDW ADRs. Do you need an advanced dining reservation? If so, click here.
Now, as always, we have arrived at my favorite part of the monthly update – the stats. When last I reported, we had concluded our second month of “life” with 12,404 page views (about 204 page views per day). One month later, All in WDW has seen 20,953 total page views for an overall average of 230 page views per day.
As of last month, our record day for page views was 498. However, on Sunday, January 27, 2013, we destroyed that mark by hitting 870 page views! In that one single day! Wow! That record will stick for a while, I’ll bet. The most viewed post that day? It was Round 2 of our crusade to elect our Favorite Epcot Attraction. I say it time after time – phenomenal!! You guys are just phenomenal!
Once again, “The World of All in WDW” has grown a lot bigger. As of last month, the list numbered 33 countries. Now, it proudly sports 43!! New to our “world” are: Portugal, Switzerland, Malaysia, Morocco, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Dominica, Ecuador, Romania, and Israel. Welcome, all! Thanks for your support, and thanks for stopping by!
If you have followed me for long, you know how this update ends … I want to specifically say thank you to all of my Facebook and Twitter followers for your support, comments, “Likes”, “Re-Tweets”, and “Follows”.

It's "All in WDW" 
Incredible growth you’ve had, in such a short time! Your site, and your success, are impressive. Equally impressive is the support you’ve shown to other new bloggers- like me! Thank you for your generosity. Continued success to you… 🙂
Thanks, Kelli! That’s the beauty of the Disney-blogging community. We help each other out. And, the growth? That’s you and all the other great people who have supported me in this little endeavor. My heart-felt thanks to you all!!
I can’t believe this is only the 3rd month of All in WDW! I subscribed after reading your guest review at DFB. The site is so well put together that I thought for sure you had been around for atleast a few years. Congratulations on the growth of the blog!
Also, what is “The World of All in WDW?”
Thanks for the kind words, Andrew! I really appreciate them – as well as your support. WordPress shows you what from what countries people visit your web site, so at the top of All in WDW, there is a page link to a listing of all the countries (and flags) in The World that have visited “The World of All in WDW”.
