While sightseeing throughout the park there are many different things to do. There may be multiple instances of a room to support the number of players visiting that area at any given time. These instances are pseudo-3D rooms with an isometric view where players can interact with each other. The entire park is represented virtually by their respective areas: Fantasy Land, Adventure Land, Tomorrow Land, and Main Street, and each area has 'instances' of each of the major attractions. Once in the game there isn't any doubt that it is Disney Online, simply because the visuals are very pretty. Several room motifs are available such as Mad Hatter's tea party, undersea world, Tiki Tiki Tiki room, or the old West. Use it to design and decorate with furnishings earned and collected from the game. You also create your very own room when you begin. Later, in the game, you can win other outfits and accessories, or purchase additional items with credits earned by in-game quests. Choose a gender and skin color, and then if you like, change the color of your shirt, pants and shoes. Initially, you have just a few options with which to outfit an avatar. The email address wasn't even verified before I was logged on and creating my character.

The sign-up process was relatively painless, with just an email, name and address being all they ask. The online game is presently in beta, and for a limited time anyone can set up an account and join in the fun for free. Lately I have been hearing about Disney's new Shockwave-based MMOG, the Virtual Magic Kingdom, and so I decided to create an account and check it out.
