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.

The Walt Disney Internet Group generates revenue mainly through advertising sales, sponsorships, and subscriptions.
