Perhaps try to clear cookies? Perhaps you got some "prefers mobile site" cookie set by accident?

I have the same issue, cookies cleaned.
It's a problem that only affects international users. It happens after clicking this on http://home.disney.go.com/guestservices/international[/URL], it goes to http://home.disney.go.com/iphone/index instead of http://disney.go.com/index[/URL].

I don't think it only affects international users. I live in the USA and it still redirects from http://home.disney.go.com/ to
http://home.disney.go.com/iphone/index the iphone version of the site. This has happened to me on a variety of platforms and Opera versions. I recently moved and got a new computer and still happens on Win7.


Sidenote, it seems like quotes aren't working properly?

I'm in the US and get redirected to the iphone site too! Even after deleting cookies from Edit Site Preferences and setting to Mask as Firefox, it did not work either. Here is the workaround: Go to Preferences, Advanced, Content, Manage Site Preferences. Add or Edit disney.go.com and home.disney.go.com Delete any existing cookies and on the Network tab, set to Mask as Firefox or IE. Also go to History and delete the cache. After getting in, I went back and changed to Identify as Opera and could navigate until clicking on the Disney logo which takes you back to the iphone site since I was identified as using Opera on the home page which does the browser sniffing.

After getting in, it is difficult to find a contact. There is an e-mail address on the Terms page if your account has been hacked and found an e-mail address on the privacy page. Under Corporate, Interactive Media Group, About, Contact, I found this address: dimg.online@disney.com I sent an message explaining that the desktop version of Opera is redirected to the iphone site.

I guess the folks at go.com/disney aren't savvy enough to know that Opera also makes a desktop browser.
