Community Guidelines
Welcome to the WDWDeals community! We are committed to providing a family-friendly, inclusive, and welcoming space for Walt Disney World and Universal Studios fans and travellers. Our purpose is to help you and your family visit Orlando. For many this is a once in a lifetime trip, and our site aims to help make this as easy as possible to plan (and afford!). To that end, to maintain a positive environment for everyone, please read and adhere to the following guidelines when taking part in discussions.
1. Username Policy
Usernames must not contain advertising, offensive language, or anything that could be mistaken for impersonating WDWDeals, its affiliates, or any brand.
Usernames violating these rules may be changed or removed by us.
Continued use of an inappropriate username may lead to account suspension or banning.
2. Account Policy
Only one account per individual user is allowed.
Account sharing or creating multiple accounts to bypass restrictions is prohibited.

Threats, intimidation, or any content that risks harm or security will be removed immediately and may be reported to appropriate authorities.
Posts and profile information (including signatures) must be in English only, with no exceptions.
4. Political and Religious Content
Political and religious discussions are strongly discouraged to maintain a peaceful and welcoming environment.
Practical travel-related questions that may touch on political or religious issues (e.g., customs, security checks) are permitted if asked respectfully and on-topic.
Posts devolving into political or religious debates, inflammatory remarks, or campaigning will be removed by moderators.

Posts or messages outside these areas containing self-promotion will be edited or removed.
Repeated violations may lead to warnings or bans.

Such content may be allowed in specific, clearly designated sections.
