Urbana, Maryland
based Levelbest Communications (http://www.levelbest.com)
today announced the 5th Anniversary of its flagship website INTERCOT - Walt
Disney World: Inside & Out (http://www.intercot.com).
Drawing upon his love for Disney World and a desire to experiment with web
design, founder John Yaglenski opened the site on October 12, 1997. Five
years later, the website has grown exponentially, covering all aspects of
the Walt Disney World Resort from the Magic Kingdom to water parks and
nightlife. "It's been a magical journey these last five years,” says
Yaglenski, INTERCOT Chairman and Chief Imagination Officer. “Who would have
thought a website that began as an experiment in web development five years
ago would grow into one of the largest travel guides for Walt Disney World
on the Internet.”
As part of a six week long celebration entitled "5
Years of Magic", INTERCOT has a number of special events planned to help
spotlight the anniversary.
-
INTERCOT 5 Years Of Magic Online Scavenger Hunt
-
Release of a new limited edition pin
-
Release of special INTERCOT apparel
Contest rules, prizes and restrictions will be posted
on the Website shortly.
INTERCOT is a highly interactive site that appeals to both the first time
vacationer as well as the seasoned veteran. Drawing upon decades of
cumulative trips to the Walt Disney World resort and the surrounding area,
INTERCOT boasts thousands of pages of content detailing important
information a well-informed traveler needs to know in order to fully enjoy a
trip to the Central Florida resort. INTERCOT also offers Disney-themed web
cards, an interactive vacation planner, and a monthly newsletter.
“Relationships are the key in this business,” says
Gary O’Brien, President of INTERCOT. “When people feel safe and
comfortable, they are more likely to return.” INTERCOT features one of the
Internet’s most popular and active Disney discussion boards. “What makes me
especially proud,” adds Yaglenski, “is the great community of people that
have made INTERCOT part of their daily lives. Sometimes, it's amazing to
step back and look at the thousands of guests who have met new people & made
lifelong friends over their love of Disney. For many it's more than just a
destination on the World Wide Web; it's a second home."
