WordFUL Wednesday


Recognize that logo?

Probably not.

But you will....

...Okay, I am just shamelessly self-promoting myself and using wishful thinking!

That logo is part of a new Disney-inspired website called the Disney Dream Depot.

The Depot was started by a group of people that had one thing in common--their love of Disney. On the website, you can find all kinds of neat things--Daily tips, Sunday Secrets, forums, and even LIVE CHATS.

Don't know what a live chat is? Well, let's see if I can explain it--it's sort of like a cross between a chatroom and a podcast, where users can chat with each other and with LIVE moderators.

The moderators will be "live," hence, the term LIVE chat. Users can enter the Live Chat room and ask questions about Disney, and instead of getting a typed answer, they will hear a live voice with an answer in real time! Doesn't that sound fun?

The creators of this new website are hoping live chat will make users' experiences more personal and give answers crafted to user specifics.

Live chats will begin tomorrow night and will be held every Thursday evening from 9 - 10 p.m. EST.

The Depot isn't creating new technology, but they are hoping to introduce this new format to the world of Disney websites and podcasts.

Personally, I am excited because they have been kind enough to let me be a part of their new venture! Now, I'm no Erin Foster (from Disney's own Mom Panel) or Amanda Tinney (from Disney Every Day), so I am a little nervous about tomorrow night!

If you enjoy Disney or have questions about a trip you might be planning, come on over and visit us. We would love to meet you. The live chat starts at 9 p.m. EST and runs for one hour.

See you there!
