The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    Some games are educational.
  • Messages:

    Not an issue.

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Some spooky or scary material in the games and video clips, but the violence is mostly cartoon-like.
  • Sex:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Streaming videos, animated banner ads, and pop-ups found; most are Disney related, but there is some outside advertising. Kids have access to the huge "Shop" area of the site.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.

What Parents Need to Know

This review of Disney was written by Dana Cotter

Parents need to know that this site is truly all things Disney. Although the site is sleek and impressive to look at, there's a lot going on -- and it can be overwhelming for some kids. You'll find movie clips, TV schedules and episodes, games galore, music, events, and travel information, as well as a Disney shopping extravaganza. Advertising is used throughout the site with streaming videos, animated banner ads, and some pop-ups that promote mostly Disney stuff, but some outside advertising can be found as well. The new, beautifully-rendered DXD (Disney Xtreme Digital) section is ever evolving, but contains access to chat rooms, full-length TV episodes, behind-the-scenes movie clips, music videos, and previews of soon-to-be released games. The chat feature is extremely well regulated with preset phrases and questions. Kids can either safely chat with random people or their "True Friends" -- a feature that requires users to trade a code offline to activate. And, parents must enable the chat feature for kids under 13. Kids can also create their own personal page with icons, personal information, and multimedia all chosen from preset lists. To spruce up their pages, kids can "buy" other things with earned points.

Families Can Talk About

Talk to your kids about the media in their life. We have more tools and tips that can help
  • Families can talk about the various Disney characters. Which character is your favorite? What traits make them top the list? Play a matching game to see which characters can best be described with some of these suggestions: admirable, funny, brave, sweet, friendly, naughty, graceful, silly.

More on Disney

What’s the Story?

Content on Disney.com -- including Disney characters, places, and various media -- is organized by category on the top navigation bar, and an additional side navigation bar breaks the content down by target audience. The DXD: Disney Xtreme Digital section offers access to games, full-length television episodes, behind-the-scenes movie clips, Radio Disney live, full-length Disney songs, and previews of soon-to-be released games. For access to most of the content you must be a registered user. Registration is free, but input of your date of birth, full name, email, zip code, and typical login information (ID and password) is required, and you have to enter a parent's email address for permission. After registration, kids have access to message boards, real-time chatting (extremely well regulated with preset phrases and questions), and more. Kids can also create a personal page with icons, personal information, and multimedia -- all chosen from preset lists. To spruce up their pages, kids can "buy" other things with earned points.

Is It Any Good?

Disney fans are in for a treat: DISNEY.COM is a sleek, crisp Web site with all things Disney. From movies to television to radio to games and more, kids can find their favorite Disney people, places, and things all in one spot, clearly organized by type, character, or age group so they can find their favorites very easily. They may be distracted on the way, however; streaming videos are found mid-screen throughout, highlighting Disney.com offerings, and multiple banner ads rotate for optimum attention grabbing (and diversion).

The games on Disney.com are definitely worth mentioning and playing. Whether going on an Orchestra Treasure Hunt with Little Einsteins, completing Black Pearl 101 with the Pirates of the Caribbean, or playing Super Villain Smash Out with Kim Possible, the games are fun -- and a lot are educational.
