The website Disney.com, owned by The Walt Disney Company and its subsidiaries, promotes the Disney theme parks and offers entertainment content intended for children. ^[1]

For years, Disney.com has been a very popular website: a survey back in April 1998 revealed that Disney.com had over 10% more unique visitors than ABCNews.com, and the combined Disney/Infoseek websites were second in web traffic to leader Yahoo! that month. ^[2]

Website Disney.com is managed by the Disney Online unit of the Walt Disney Internet Group (WDIG), a subsidiary division of The Walt Disney Company.^[1] The WDIG division also runs the websites for the ABC network, ABC.com and ABCNEWS.com, as well as top sports site ESPN.com.
