My apologies if today's column seems to be a bit on the
light side. But you see, I'm in Southern California right now. Getting
ready to spend the next four days fighting the crowds at the San Diego
Convention Center while I try & cover Comic-Con.
Given all of the prep time that's involved with covering
a show of this size ... Well, that didn't really leave a whole lot of
time to prep a JHM column for Wednesday. But given that I didn't like
the idea of this site's readers going away empty-handed again
... I went and dug up some of the more intriguing domain names that the
Walt Disney Company has registered over the past month.
Take -- for example -- these two domain names ...
- MYDISNEYRESERVATION.COM
- MYDISNEYRESERVATIONS.COM
... which are tied to the company's plans to let WDW &
Disneyland Guests -- in the not-so-distant future -- make their own dining
reservations online.

Better yet, let's talk about the new Disney Weddings packages
that the company will soon be offering. Which will cover everything from
elaborate on-property proposals ...
... to honeymoons that will now allow newly blended families to bring
the kids along with their post-wedding trip to the Resort.
Or -- better yet -- how about a honeymoon package for stressed over-achievers
who don't really have the time to vacation at WDW.
On the retail side of the street, look for Disney Consumer
Products to roll out a brand-new video game this fall. One that asks you
to "Think Fast" as you try & answer Disney-related trivia
questions.

And finally ... Why do I get the feeling that things aren't
going all that well (from a customer satisfaction point-of-view, anyway)
over at the Disney Movie Club? I mean, if a division of the Walt Disney
Company feels that it's necessary to do a pre-emptive strike, take these
three domain names off of the market ...
- IHATEDISNEYMOVIECLUB.COM
- IHATETHEDISNEYMOVIECLUB.COM
- THEDISNEYMOVIECLUBSUCKS.COM
You have to assume that -- somewhere out there --
there are some very unhappy members of the Disney Movie Club. Does anyone
know what these folks might be grousing about?
