Daveland: Where Pixel Dust Meets Pixie Dust

If there's such a thing as a grizzled Disney web surfer, I'm it. I've been to hundreds, maybe even thousands, of Disney web sites and blogs, and I'm no longer an easy click.

Pure and simple, Daveland blew me away. This huge site, built over the course of many years by Dave DeCaro, is a visual history of Disneyland, from its inception to the present day, with new photos posted daily at Dave's blog.

Every nook and cranny of Disneyland is on display. I went at random to the Adventureland section, selected the Enchanted Tiki Room, and found both a short history of the attraction and hundreds of photos: everything from a smiling tour guide circa 1967 to a shot of the tiki gods from last Christmas.

Dave also devotes a section of his site to Disney World's Magic Kingdom: it's equally impressive as his Disneyland gala though not quite as expansive (which means it still has tons more photos than you'll find anywhere else).

Visiting Daveland is like opening someone's photo album and then realizing you're in the Twilight Zone because no matter how many pages you turn, you still haven't reached the end.
