The Webmaster is ASD: Alan S. Dalinka. A bit about ASD is here.

On December 30, 1995, a personal “home page” was launched that eventually became this page. By August 24, 1996, that “home page” outgrew the free space of that early webpage provider, so it was moved to a more generous free provider, Tripod.com where to remained until January 1, 2002. Next, it migrated to the host of ASD’s other home page, The ASDHollywood Page, GeoCities/Yahoo! By September 10, 2007, all of ASD’s pages moved to the current host, 1and1.com.

While the pages of ASDHollywood.com are the place to find photos, videos and and other musings from ASD’s visits to Disney Parks & Resorts and other Disney places, the pages of Dalinka.com are devoted to ASD’s travels to other destinations and his original hometown, Chicago. You can read about the technology and development of the site, as well as relevant disclosures and disclaimers here.

The site began this transition to WordPress over a decade ago, and I have considered it to be in “beta” ever since. However, as of July 2026, almost everything is working again, at long last, so that label will be gone soon. If you find something on the site that isn’t working right, like dead links or images that won’t load, please let me know by email.
