is there a way to find out if a web site is legitimate?

Question

i visited wdwinfo.com they claim to be the un offical online guide to disney and they are selling things and i would like to buy them however i question if they are legitimate or not??/ please help!

Answer 1

A whois lookup of wdwinfo.com shows the domain is registered to Werner Technologies, Inc. The Administrative Contact is:
Werner, Peter [e-mail]
Werner Technologies, Inc.
12179 S APOPKA VINELAND RD
ORLANDO, FL 32836-6802
US
407-251-8132

You can call them to get more info on the company. A national record search on the BBB did not show any listings, either as a member or any complaints.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

Legitimate? If it says at the top of the Web Page banner: "The Internet's Largest Unofficial On-Line Guide to Walt Disney World" something tells me "not likely," but maybe something like very close copies of the legitimate stuff. All of Disney's stuff is licensed so look for a certificate of authenticity. If you really want the legitimate stuff (and pay the "normal" hefty price for it) go to the Disney Store somewhere near you, or visit:

http://home.disney.go.com/index & for the official Walt

For Disney World Resort information website go to:

http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/waltdisneyworld/index

As to your website (wdwinfo.com), it seems like they are more of a travel agent type of deal on first look. So if that's what you're looking for -- travel deals -- then I'd just say to read the fine print.

BTW, you can also find other great travel deals when you book combo vacations with cruise lines & Orlando Resorts Hotels (i.e. Disney Cruises & Walt Disney World Resorts, etc.)

Good luck to you & Have a Great time!
