As he gets ready to cover this year's Comic-Con, Jim Hill shares some of the more interesting domain names that the Walt Disney Company has registered over the past month

"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 ...
* DISNEYPROPOSALS.COM
... to honeymoons that will now allow newly blended families to bring the kids along with their post-wedding trip to the Resort.
* DISNEYFAMILYMOONS.COM
Or -- better yet -- how about a honeymoon package for stressed over-achievers who don't really have the time to vacation at WDW.
* DISNEYMINIMOONS.COM
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.
* DISNEYPARTYGAME.ORG
* DISNEYTHINK.ORG
* DISNEYTHINKFAST.ORG
* DISNEYTHINKFASTGAME.ORG
* DISNEYTHINKFASTVIDEO.ORG
* DISNEYTHINKFASTVIDEOGAME.ORG
* DISNEYTHINKGAME.ORG
* DISNEYTHINKGAMES.ORG
* DISNEYTHINKVIDEO.ORG
* DISNEYTHINKVIDEOGAMES.ORG
* DISNEYTRIVIAGAME.ORG
* THINKFASTDISNEY.ORG
* THINKFASTGAME.ORG
* THINKFASTVIDEOGAME.ORG
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?"
