The Walt Disney Company today launched a ten-day sneak preview of its official entertainment site that is scheduled to debut on February 22 through America Online and Netscape.

AOL members can take part in a daily scavenger hunt and chat with Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters by typing in keyword: Disney.com.

A link to the Disney site is also available on Netscape's home page. Once inside, users can register for a free trip to Walt Disney World.

The site's primary purpose is to provide information on traveling to Disneyland or Disney World, as well as to provide information about a host of Disney products including home videos, books, and music.
