Disney Web Sites
From LoveToKnow Themeparks
Disney web sites help provide information and the latest news regarding one of the largest and most influential entertainment companies in the world. From Disney’s official home on the Internet to insider fan pages, there is plenty of Disney on the Web to keep you in the know on everything from movie premieres to the newest theme park rides.
Official Disney Web Sites
When seeking out Disney web sites, obviously it makes sense to start with the official sites hosted by the company itself. Spend some time hanging out at Disney.com if you want to take a tour around this authorized website that features links to every division of the Walt Disney Company. These include movies, TV, music, the theme parks, the Disney store, upcoming live events, information on popular Disney characters, and even special games and videos not found anywhere else.
Disney.com also has sections designed for various age levels from preschool through adulthood. Tweens will love non-stop Hannah Montana and Jonas Brothers action, while adults will enjoy the ease of planning a family vacation to one of the company’s many parks around the world.
Insider Pages
Outside of the official sites, there are a lot of unofficial pages that really are, quite to the contrary, very official. LaughingPlace.com is one example of these websites that are ruling the Internet when it comes to Disney fandom. LaughingPlace is run by a group of Disney fans, many of whom have either worked at a Disney theme park at some point in their lives, are season passholders of Disneyland or Disney World, or keep up with all of the industry news. On LaughingPlace you will find message boards dedicated to all aspects of the Disney empire, and much of the site focuses on the parks. The site also organizes get together days at Disneyland, where message board posters and guest writers often get together for a day to play.
Mouse Planet is another entity in the family of Disney web sites that has reliable information and plenty of goodies to peruse. Mouse Planet is much more objective – where LaughingPlace is almost always written in a light flattering to Disney, Mouse Planet can sometimes be critical, delivering “tell it like it is” information that fans will eat up.
Finally, All Ears is a website that focuses primarily on the theme park side of things. You can sign up for their free weekly newsletter to get the latest information for Disneyland and beyond.
International Hospitality
Disney is well aware that their fan base goes well beyond the United States. This is why occasionally you will come across a website geared toward another part of the world. Visiting Disneyparks.in is one example. It looks like a standard Disney website, but a subtle script at the top of the screen notes that this is the official site for tourists living in India. Through the website, you can glean travel information for every Disney park, and Indians in particular are able to receive news and traveling tips that Americans take for granted. In fact, Disney web sites come in many different languages for almost every nation, including Finland, Turkey, and South Africa.
Disney really is a part of our lives, no matter what part of the world you live in, and we are all connected by the entertainment, theme park and multimedia experiences we enjoy. There are plenty more Disney sites to discover, and you can literally spend hours just browsing all there is to offer.
