This site kind of overwhelmed me with all the ads and stuff for sale. So far it seems like a lot of dictionaries, including 'religious' ones (- if you are wanting to teach your child Bible signs, this is probably your stop). Described and Captioned Media Program. You are able to 'check out' videos, DVD's and books, a'la netflix. Disney Vacation Club rentals should be seen as a potential way to make a magical on-site Disney Resort stay fit within your Disney Vacation budget.

Project description

To improve search engine visibility, understand user behaviour, and drive future content improvements, I propose a bottom-up optimization strategy for DVC.

In terms of search engine optimization, 'bottom-up' means using data from current search results and existing content to direct updates and start a positive feedback loop of improvement. This strategy focusses on results to build upon actual progress instead of relying on assumptions about what users will search for, or how they will use it. I've used this approach effectively for multiple SEO clients and it's known to be effective for current search engine behaviours.

The goal of the process is to develop a feedback loop as follows:

1. What pages and search terms get search results?
2. What are related to these terms? Are we answering the questions searchers have? Whats missing in the doc?
3. Update the existing doc or identify new documents that should be created (if it makes more sense).
4. In areas where the organization wants to get results (but has none), look for evidence of competitor searches or user analytics before building content.
5. Start again at 1.

I propose the following high-level project plan (with further details on implementation in the Q&A below):

Week 1 — Initial set up for Analytics tools and tracking. Run SEO audit and create issues to fix metadata or clear technical issues. (This could even begin in the warm-up period).Week 2 — Identify docs that are already ranking for key terms. Identify related terms to expand content around and audit the docs for other improvements. Create issues on individual document scale to plan updates. Start updating/publishing the docs.Week 3 — Continue monitoring search results to identify new opportunities and continue working through the planned update backlog.Week 4-10 — Observe changes to search results for newly updated docs, and continue monitoring and updating the backlog.Week 10+ — While it's definitely out of scope for this project, once there is a comfort level with the rate of change and methods, the same principles and feedback loop could be used to drive revisions to the DVC use cases and docs home page. In my opinion, a bottom-up approach is more likely to be effective for those projects as well.

Here are my direct answers to each question listed in the project idea:

Q. What tools should we employ? (e.g. Google Analytics, etc.)

A. The essential tools are Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and Google Data Studio (to aggregate data between tools for reports). Google Tag Manager is useful for tracking some specific click or page events (for example, YouTube embedded video tutorials). I'd also use an SEO audit tool (I use Ubersuggest) to flag issues and track competitive and related search terms across the docs site. While the DVC site seems quite fast, we'd need to make sure using PageSpeed insights as it's also critical for SEO.

Q. What trends and reports do we need to focus on?

A. The key SEO metrics are clicks, impressions, click-through rate, and position. However, the challenge is that these are trailing indicators and don't provide much insight on what to do to improve. For that purpose it's critical to track and monitor what happens before and after searches: the search terms people use, and what happens when they visit the site. The search terms in use are essential to directing productive work on content creation and updates (as described above). Ensuring that users who arrive via search results successfully find what they are looking for makes the difference between ranking well or not at all, as returning to the same search (a bounce) tells the engine that the page what not a good result. Measuring user engagement on the site is a more complicated task, but the essential metrics we'd need for documentation are bounce rate, session duration, and pages/session. (For sites where the goal is to have user's acquire/buy/contact, conversion rate against the goal is also a key metric.)

Q. What kinds of users do we have and what interaction flows do they each follow?

A. If set up to do so, Google Analytics will track a user's path through the site, page timing, click URLs, user agent properties, and attempt to identify them on returning visits (there's more, but these are the basics). It will take time to identify and understand patterns that define user types, but looking at popular interaction flows are a good place to start. Starting from the most popular landing pages, we'd look for obvious trends in second, third, and further pages. Then we could propose user models against these (which should also help inform the key use cases). Working from there, we can further refine or validate the models/use cases by correlating other data: search terms, anecdotes, surveys, interviews, etc.

Q. Can we semi-identify these users and/or cross-examine their data with DVC usage analytics?

A. Based on the usage analytics documentation, DVC is using a truly random identifier (uuid4) and sending data through a proxy. Assuming this won't be changed, cross-examination would be limited to viewing the volume trend for each command event against the usage patterns for the docs site. This would help us identify discrepancies between docs usage and command usage in the aggregate, but won't provide user-level insights. So we could probably answer the question 'for which commands/docs are people using the doc and command at the same time, or not?' While that is basic, it would provide basic validation for assumptions (e.g., if a particular use case is well matched it should lead to increased usage on the key commands) and identify opportunities (e.g., if a command is not being used, but the docs for it are (or vice versa) what's wrong?)

The beauty of the Disney Vacation Club (DVC) program is that membership lasts for decades. Over the years, you'll want to try something new on occasion. You'll hear about unique room types that are available at various resorts, some of which you should have on your DVC bucket list. Here are four more DVC rooms that you must try at some point.

Concierge Floor at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas

Who doesn't want to live a life of luxury, especially while on vacation? For such travelers, Animal Kingdom Villas provides the most decadent option. It's the only property in the DVC lineup with a concierge floor room type.

Guests who book the Kilimanjaro Club Concierge room type are in for a real treat. These rooms at Jambo House are Disney's equivalent of the velvet rope. You'll need exclusive Magic Band access to ride the elevator to the concierge floor.

When you stay in one of these club level rooms, you'll gain access to the concierge lounge. It features free food and drinks throughout the day, and the menu changes to reflect the hour. Whether you want a breakfast item or some afternoon fruit, you'll find it in the concierge lounge. And this place is one of the few locations to sell Jungle Juice, everyone's favorite Animal Kingdom beverage.

Tower Studio at Disney's Riviera Resort

What I've Learntluchia's Dvc Site Website

Do you desire some intimacy during your Disney vacation? You'll never do any better than the Tower Studio at the Riviera. These rooms are meant for two, and I mean that literally. That's the maximum occupancy rate for these mini-studios.

The spacing is so tight that your bed isn't even a bed most of the day. You pull it down at night when you're ready to sleep. The appeal of the rooms is that they're relatively inexpensive in terms of points cost. However, romantics will love the forced closeness of a 255-square foot room.

Yes, that may sound small, but my college girlfriend and I used to spend our nights together sleeping on a daybed. When you're in love, less space means more touching. Tender moments are inevitable. The Tower Studio at the Riviera is for everyone speaking the international language of love.

1. Cabins at Copper Creek Villas & Cabins

In an earlier article, I mentioned the fabulous Bungalows at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. Those unique mid-water rooms are undeniably the top of the line in the DVC catalog. However, another option exists, one that came after the Bungalows and delivers more bang for the buck.

The goal of the process is to develop a feedback loop as follows:

1. What pages and search terms get search results?
2. What are related to these terms? Are we answering the questions searchers have? Whats missing in the doc?

Copper Creek's Cascade Cabins delivers an equally excellent waterfront experience at a lower DVC points cost. These standalone cabins come with 1,700 square feet of space in a unique setting. You're off on your own in a rustic location that's also a two-bedroom cabin. So, they're more extensive than the Bungalows and offer a couple of extra amenities.

What I've Learntluchia's Dvc Sites

One is an indoor picnic table sitting area that's ideal for family gatherings. Directly beside it is a hot tub area. Yes, the Bungalows have one of these as well, but this one is indoors, meaning that you can use it independent of the weather.

The other special touch is a chimney, making this place perfect when you want to stay warm at night. No, that's not a problem in Florida most of the time, but I'm old school. I love sitting by the fire, even when it's 100 degrees outside.

Best of all, the cost of the Cabins is roughly 25 percent less than the Bungalows. When you want to go big on vacation as a DVC member, you've got two options at Walt Disney World. You might as well try both!

1. Studio at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort

Speaking of the Polynesian, you'll have a second room type that should try. I'm speaking of the base studio, which is the best of its kind at Walt Disney World, in my opinion. The standard hotel room here comes with a massive 447 square feet of space, and the floor plan is absolutely brilliant.

Polynesian studios famously include double baths. One section has a standup shower with an overhead rainfall showerhead plus bathroom counters. The other bathroom is a full one with a shower and commode. This setup allows multiple people to get dressed or shower at the same time. Plus, the extra room will enable you to spread out, a huge benefit if you're like me and dump all of your luggage out the instant you get to the room.
