site, we provide consumers with anywhere, anytime access to Disney,” said
Larry Shapiro, executive vice president and general manager, North American

multiplatform efforts, as it will eventually provide further integration with
activities on Disney.com, including Disney.com XD and Disney’s virtual
worlds, and will provide a pathway for The Walt Disney Company’s offline
divisions to reach their consumers through mobile.” The mobile site includes streaming
video and audio clips, games, photos, showtimes, TV schedules, polls, quizzes
and more and is an ever-evolving entity with new features,
functionalities, and interactive personalized experiences being added

multimedia. Guests with audio and video capable mobile handsets, and
parental permission if under 18, may watch
video clips from popular Disney Channel shows and upcoming Disney movies as
well as listen to audio clips from Radio Disney.[1] The debut of the mobile site follows the
