DisneyXD (http://www.disneyxd.com)

common sense media says

Games galore, but heavy on Disney XD show promos.


parents & educators say

What parents need to know

Parents need to know that this site is the companion to Disney's cable TV channel, Disney XD, which offers shows targeted to boys ages 6-14. With customizable avatars, games, and competitions, social networking, and exclusive webisodes, the site is designed to attract (and keep) fans of the shows.

Educational value: Meant to entertain rather than educate.
Positive messages: Although the site is the companion to the TV channel -- both of which foster sedentary lifestyles -- the site makes an attempt to promote active pursuits like soccer, skateboarding, and other sports.
Violence: Not applicable.
Sex: Not applicable.
Language: Not applicable.
Consumerism: Lots of ads for series on the Disney XD channel; advertisers including Lego, Pokemon, and General Mills have been announced.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking: Not applicable.
Privacy & safety: Kids are ID'ed by screen name only. The site offers lots of information about Interenet safety, safe computer use,  and appropriate online behavior. Parents can create and manage their family's account.

Graphically, the production values on DisneyXD are excellent, and have the look, feel, and quality of the Disney XD channel itself. The games will be a big draw for boys, and the site's creators have done a nice job of categorizing the games so it's easy to find your favorites. Boys will also enjoy the overarching competition of competing for the site's highest scores.

Most likely, if your kids like the TV shows, they'll enjoy the games that are based on the show's characters and premises. And Disney is planning lots of tie-ins to the TV channel. Overall, the site is safe, so the main issue to be aware of is the onslaught of ads and show promos. 

Online interaction: Kids can create their own profile and are encouraged to make friends with other kids.

Iffy chat
it is ok, I just don't feel very safe on the chat, even on safe chat, as even though it has pre-set text, if you don't have that you or the other people can say anything they want. But if you trust your child not to give personal info you can let your child on
