"Disney is the No. 1 family entertainment company in the world and Comcast is the nation's leading provider of cable and video-on-demand services.  This cooperation to provide family-orientated video-on-demand content was a natural fit," said Michael Mendenhall, executive vice president of Marketing for Walt
Disney World Parks and Resorts.

"We're delighted to partner with Walt Disney World Resort to bring these two concert events to our customers," said Page Thompson, Comcast's senior vice president and general manager of Video Products.  "Music videos and concerts continue to be some of the most popular programs on our ON DEMAND
service."

Walt Disney World Resort has produced two special shows for On Demand, including a Smash Mouth concert that has never aired before.  These concerts will air in the Music Specials section of the ON DEMAND menu.

* Smash Mouth Live! -- The pop group performs hits for a live audience at Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista in this ON DEMAND exclusive.    

* Disney: Jim Brickman -- America's foremost platinum-selling pianist performs classic Disney songs at a live concert in the Magic Kingdom theme
park.  Magical Disney moments are reminisced through music, animation and rare footage.

Additional information about Walt Disney World vacations, including a preview of the brand-new Expedition Everest attraction at Disney's Animal Kingdom in Florida, also is available in the Travel category of the "Searchlight" section of the Comcast Spotlight category on the ON DEMAND menu.

The launch of the new Walt Disney World VOD is well-timed to correspond with the opening of Expedition Everest -- the newest attraction at Disney's  Animal Kingdom theme park at Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.  The Disney content offering also coincides with a peak vacation-planning
period and appears during the 18-month "Happiest Celebration on Earth," honoring 50 years of Disney theme park magic around the world.

"The Disney video-on-demand offering is consistent with our strategy to market in new media space and reach consumers through channels of new technology which they use and that they are embracing," said Mendenhall.  "The video-on-demand format allows us to deliver a longer, richer, more interactive message to viewers and Disney fans alike."

With ON DEMAND from Comcast, customers can choose from more than 4,000 programs -- including hundreds of movies, music videos and programs, kids' shows, sports highlights, news and informational programs and more - at any time, and can play, fast-forward, rewind and watch their selections as many
times as they want.
