Hi Guys,
This is just a gentle reminder of some of the things here on the DIBB.
1. Restaurant Menus
Tess has been working very hard compiling the DIBB Menu list, we now have one of the most comprehensive and upto date listings on the net. Tess is also creating an off-site listing too which will be available soon.
The main Menu listing is available by clicking MENUS (http://www.thedibb.co.uk/dining-menus.php) at the very top of the page.
I'd just like to add my thanks for those members that have sent copies of Menus to TESS, it has really helped make our list current. Even to the effect that we have now seen some of our menu's copied on other sites, complete with the same spelling mistakes, which we are taking as a compliment :)
2. Restaurant and Hotel Reviews
Thank you to all those that have submitted reviews to our Restaurant and Hotel database. For those that are not aware of this facility, please click REVIEWS (http://www.thedibb.co.uk/resort-hotel-dining-reviews.php) at the top of the page.
These reviews provide a very valuable source of information and unlike other review sites they are normally accurate and the reviewers are contactable here on the DIBB.
Any member can leave reviews, so if you have stayed at a hotel, resort or eaten at a restaurant then please take the time to add a review to our list. The more reviews we get the more accurate the database will become.
3. Sticky Posts
At the top of most forums you will find Threads that are marked "Sticky" please take a moment to read through these or check that they have been updated. These posts very often contain the answers to questions that get asked many times. These posts also contain important information.
A Sticky thread stays at the very top of the forum so that it doesn't get lost amongst the other posts.
4. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
We do have an FAQ section that lists our Rules and Policies along with other useful information. You can access this by clicking the FAQ link (http://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/faq.php)near the top of the page.
5. Park Hours
If you are looking for upto date operating hours for the main Orlando themeparks then just click the PARK HOURS (http://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/parkhours.php)link at the top of the page.
This listing is updated as soon as the hours are released and includes Extra Magic Hours (EMH) and any ride or attraction closures (Rehabs).
Premium Members can select exact dates and download/print a PDF schedule for their holiday.
6. DIBB Premium Member
The majority of the DIBB is a free service to use, however some areas and some facilities are only available to members that subscribe. Subscription to the DIBB is generally known as "DIBB AP Holders", those that do subscribe have extra benefits on the site.
Details of DIBB AP Holders can be found HERE. (http://www.thedibb.co.uk/dibb-subs.php)
7. DIBB Advertisers
To help pay for the running costs of this site we have a number of advertisers. We only take on advertising from companies that we think will have products that are both in keeping with the theme of this site and whose products will be useful to the DIBB Members.
The DIBB never uses popups or those really annoying pop-under ads, all our advertising is placed so that it can be seen without affecting the overall enjoyment of the site.
If you are looking for Car hire, Holiday planning, Tickets etc then please take the time to check the DIBB advertisers, you'll usually find that they are very competitive and offer a good level of service.
8. DIBB Villas
For sometime now we have had Villa Owners advertising their Villas on the DIBB. If you are looking for a Villa for your next Florida holiday then please place a request for a quote in the Villa Forums.
The big advantage of using a DIBB advertised Villa is you have contact with the owner, you can see them here on the forums chatting with the other members and offering advice where they can.
9. Searching the DIBB
There are several ways to search for information on the DIBB, but the easy way is to use the "Search the DIBB" link in the left menu, you can search the Web Pages and the Forum posts.
10. Holiday Chart
If you click the "Quick Links" menu you can select Holiday Chart (http://www.thedibb.co.uk/forums/holidaycounter.php) This is a good way to see if any members are in Orlando when you are. You can add your own dates to this chart.
This is on our list to improve, so when we get some time we will be enhancing this facility.
Regards
Stu
