5/31/01 - Those who are signed up to my announcement list already
know about this, but for everyone else ...
the photos are back! If
you find any broken links, please let me know. Since there are five photo
areas on this site (Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney World, Other Theme Parks,
CoCoFests, Other Places, Shows & Events), please let me know which section
you were in and, if possible, which picture was not found.
5/15/01 - Rest in peace, Disneyland Rocket Rods. Here is a Yahoo!
Club dedicated to the
Tomorrowland
Rapid Transit Authority. Drop by and help boost its membership.
5/9/01 - All the photo galleries have now been updated and
all
image links should work. Let me know if you find any broken ones. Also,
the "problem" with some photos being half the size of others has
now been identified. Apparently, the old Epson camera I used to use stored
a different DPI value in the images and the PhotoToWeb program went by that
rather than raw pixel size. Hopefully the program's author will provide
me with an update that ignores the DPI value. Once I get this, I will regenerate
the archives one final time with normal sized images. (There are now over
20,000 photos in the collection!)
5/5/01 - If you own (or ever owned) a Radio Shack (Tandy/TRS-80)
Color Computer, you might be interested to know that the Glenside CoCo Club
is holding the 10th Annual "LAST" Chicago CoCoFest this weekend
in Elgin, Illinois (just outside of Chicago). For information, see the
club's
home page or drop by my
"live"
fest report page.
4/8/01 - Due to problems with the old script, I am now testing a
new counter out. For the time being, all my counter values have been reset.
If this script works out, I'll try to restore the previous counter values
(minus all the hits I lost due to the old counter resetting to zero many
times).
3/28/01 - Does anyone else own a
Cybiko?
It's a "toy" that is basically a cross between a GameBoy and a
Palm PDA, except all the software is free (over 300 games and applications
currently).
3/20/2001 - Unbelievable! Go to
www.geocities.com/colosseum/5732/hm3dindx.htm
at once and see Steve Tyler's "HM-3D"! It's a
virtual Haunted
Mansion based on the
Duke Nukem 3-D game engine. I'm downloading
the files right now to check it out, but the screen shots look amazing!
3/19/2001 -
Server stats are in for
February 2001. There were more individual hits than any previous month (
423938,
beating out
393274 from January 2001), and the amount of data
transferred (2.1 gigs) was the largest since July 2000 (2.2 gigs) . Thanks,
everyone. There is no way I could have afforded to keep this site at Yahoo!
Hosting (formerly Simplenet) with this kind of volume. Watch for over 3000
new images from
Disney's California Adventure to be added shortly
along with hundreds of new high-resolution photos from
Disneyland Park
and
Knott's Berry Farm.
3/16/2001 - Someone wrote me asking if I knew where former Mouse
Planet columnist
Jim Hill has gone to. Yes, I do. He is now writing
for
LaughingPlace.com along with
other former-MP columnist Michelle Smith (Fab). We'd like to congratulate
both of them on their move to what is probably the best non-bashing Disney
fan site on the web.
3/15/2001 - The photo galleries are now back and all links
should
be working. As it turns out, there have been sections that have
never
been working! If you find any problems please let me know. Thanks!
(UPDATE:
I have found at least one section that didn't make it. Please report any
problems you find when accessing the images.
)
3/11/2001 - Our new
announcement mailing
list is now ready.
Sign up today and
receive an e-mail when this site is updated.
2/27/2001 - We are officially back from vacation. Coming soon to
DisneyFans: Nearly 3000 pictures from
Disney's
California Adventure and hundreds of new hi resolution images from
Knott's Berry Farm and Disneyland. This will be the largest gallery expansion
the site has ever seen after one trip...
2/25/2001 - Welcome to our new server! Three times the storage, and
more bandwidth than ever. It will take a few days for all the DNS servers
to get updated to point to this new location. The update will allow us to
sign up even more new accounts for those
interested!
2/24/2001 - Our server is in the process of being upgraded. Some
things may not work over the next few days.
2/21/2001 - This has been one of my best vacations yet ;-) Over 2600
photos so far (most from California Adventure) and the discovery of a few
new Hidden Mickeys as well as some other stuff. Updates to happen over the
next few weeks.
2/20/2001 - Saturday we hit Disneyland and had fun. Sunday we hit
DCA and had a total blast. I came expecting to hate it and ended up having
an amazing time as it feels so much like the non-Magic Kingdom parks in
Florida. Monday we spent at Disneyland and Downtown Disney riding virtually
nothing. It was a peaceful (but rainy day). Tuesday was Knott's and that
was much fun too (and no lines). A few more days to go... Since everyone
else seems to have one, we decided to add our own
live
updates page which will feature useless bits of information about our
journey in progress.
2/15/2001 - Check out the official
Disney's
California Adventure Grand Opening pages for some excellent
video
from the event, including professional quality ride footage from California
Screamin', the Maliboomer, and others! Thanks, Disney! It really, really
looks great. I guess we'll know first hand in a few more days when we get
there...
2/13/2001 -
Mouse Tales author David Koenig printed many responses
to his recent California Adventure article,
including
one from me :-) Kewel.
2/6/2001 - Server stats for January 2001 are
now
in.
2/4/2001 - My counters have been messed up lately. We are in the
process of a server upgrade which
should happen over the next month.
Meanwhile, keep your hart hats on. I'll try to keep the values backed up
so I can at least reset them to something close if it happens again.
1/26/2001 - The wonderful Disneyland Information Guide actually "printed"
one of my e-mails in
Al's
follow-up to his DCA article. The four part series is worth reading,
but for a less negative view of the new park, also see
Sue
Kruse's article.
1/25/2001 - Happy typos! I accidentally discovered a really neat
Walt Disney World information site. It can be found at
www.disneyfan.com.
There is also
www.disney-fan.com
(in Japan), and
www.disney-fans.com
(a sig at Delphi).
1/13/2001 - Did you know that the Country Bear Jamboree is about
to celebrate its 30th Anniversary? Be sure to stop by
Grizzly
Hall and find out more, or see my favorite
links
page.
1/7/2001 - I'd like to welcome
dizneyworld.net
to our hosting community. His site is building a virtual tour of the classic
WDW attraction
If You Had Wings. There is also a wealth of
information on the resorts. Please stop by and take a look. -

January 11, 2001 - The photo gallery indexes are being
updated -- links may be broken for the next day or so.

January 4, 2001 - Nothing to do with DisneyFans.com, but
if you have a Cybiko (www.cybiko.com), check out my Cybiko
page...
January 1, 2001 - Welcome to the newly redesigned DisneyFans.com
website. I hope you enjoy the new look and content. There are still some
areas that are not ready yet, so consider this a "soft opening"
December 19, 2000 - The message
board has been activated, and I fixed the top navigation bar to pre-load
(and thus actually work reliably).
December 16, 2000 - The all-new DisneyFans.com site is
almost ready to launch!
December 8, 2000 - Work begins on the all-new DisneyFans.com
site (based on work being done for the all-new AtTheFaire.com site).
