How did you find out about WDWmagic?

[cba]

I had a weird way because it has nothing to do with Google, which is weird because I find out about most things with Google and, not to mention, TV ads. Okay, so I wanted to download a Disney World app, and I stumbled apoun "What 2 Ride at WDW" (which is a very good app when planning a trip". I explored a little and saw that it was made by WDWMagic. I looked on the actual site, and I was very impressed. But it was a few months later that I learned about the forums, and the moment I did I signed up. I always remember that app (which I still use) and I've been proud of myself for finding out about the forums.

I found it through an AOL search on Disney news and rumors back in 1999. It wasn't even wdwmagic back then.

I do believe that you found more than a website.

I read about it in the Unofficial Guide. One of the best things I ever did!

That's awesome

Thank you, @ImagineerDude!

I was just searching for Disney facts and trivia and eventually ended up here.

What was it called back then? I'm not sure

I think it may have had a few names in the early years. I dont remember the actual name when i joined but the domain was force9UK. It began as a site entirely about illuminations and evolved into the magic we know today

I think he may have found me.

I think for me it was the U. G. also.

I wonder how many marriages owe their existence to this site?

I was desperately looking for construction photos of the newly announced Fantasyland expansion: Google and subsequently WDWMagic to the rescue!!

I'm honestly just curious. I found it by doing a google search on what RIver Country is now.

Ironically similar here! I discovered WDWMagic when I was first putting together my Extinct Disney website and doing searches for images and information re: extinct attractions that I wanted to include. If I remember right, it was a River Country image search and it lead me to the site. I only just recently joined the forums though because they were blocked here at work (which is where I typically post because I am a bit ADD and have to be doing 100 things at once or I can't focus LOL).

I know of a few that owe their end to forums like this... (not this one) but that's not near as romantic huh? LOL!

As do I, but I prefer happy endings.

My boyfriend at the time found it. I'm not sure how but I'm sure glad he did!

You know, you'd think i'd remember since it was just July/Aug, but I have no idea. I wandered into the weird part of the Internet and here y'all were!!

I had first found it for fun, then a few days later, I was looking for information on Walt Disney World's response to the 9-11 attacks at the time (see my "Member Since" date), especially to see if they had lowered the flags, and whether they had closed.

I did end up finding a poignant picture here of the flag at half-staff on Main Street, USA, and the image has stuck with me -- as has this website and this nice, crazy, funny, obnoxious, and friendly (all at times, including myself) community of people!

I especially appreciate the "This is Terrible" thread from that fateful day in 2001, which helps me remember each year that feeling of the day as it unfolded.

I agree..I read that thread every 9/11, as strange as that sounds

I don't think that sounds strange. It is a good read, and an important one.

By the way, your "Member Since" date is this year. Were you only lurking before, or here under a different name?

Nah I have been lurking since about 09, but didn't decide to make an account until recently.
