Potentially a wonderful thing, but damnation, Disney just sucks at internet stuff. First of all, their pages are so overloaded with flash crap, the interface is impossible, the pages are ugly and cluttered - it's a frustrating, slow loading experience, even with broadband.
I would love it if Disney would emulate the wonderful hulu.com and set up entire seasons of shows like Zorro, the original Mickey Mouse Club and of course the Wonderful World of Disney/Color. Include a full-screen option, an HD 420p option, and limited unskippable (but brief) ads and it would be fantastic. As long as Disney is uninterested in showing the library stuff on cable, this would be a profitable and much needed way to keep their vast library accessible. As it is, every time I go to an official Disney website, I leave very quickly.
