Disney Launches New
Website - Disney Side
According
to the Disney Blog, starting today, you’ll be hearing a lot more about the
idea of showing your Disney side – the side of you that says “yes” more
often, laughs louder and lives life to the fullest. It’s the side of you
that embraces fun and comes out to play the moment you step through the
gates at Disney Parks. Everyone has a Disney side. And this morning, Disney
Parks Blog readers are among the first to see the premiere television spot
featuring one family’s galactic Disney side.
