GO.com's Disney Online Celebrates Father's Day With `Rad Dads At Disney.com'; Kids Can Honor Their Dads Online in the Greatest Dad Contest
GO.com's Disney Online, the No. 1 Web destination for kids and families, presents Rad Dads at Disney.com, the premier resource for helping families celebrate Father's Day this June 18. In addition to great gift ideas, exclusive D-Cards, and creative activities for kids of all ages, the site boasts the Greatest Dad contest, encouraging kids to write a brief essay describing why they think their dad is the daddy-o of them all.
Do you think your dad is the best one on the block? A superhero, you say? Then start writing! Approved essays will be posted on
Disney.com so that guests can come back and show their friends and families their essay. Five weekly winners will be selected to each win a Father's Day Tigger Gram from DisneyStore.com, and the grand prize winner will receive a family camping package courtesy of REI worth over $1,000. Entries must be submitted before 11:59 p.m. ET on June 18, 2000.
Located inside the Zeether at Disney.com, "Rad Dads" provides unique gift ideas such as a Mickey carry-all sports bag, a millennium baseball jacket or a leather cell phone case, all of which are available online at DisneyStore.com.
For those looking to create homemade ways of saying "I love you" to Dad, Rad Dads at Disney.com provides craft ideas with simple step-by-step instructions and helpful photos. Kids can also choose from nearly a dozen new D-Card designs to surprise dear old Dad with a colorful and musical e-mail message that will brighten his special day.
"Family celebrations are really what Father's Day is all about," said Ken Goldstein, executive vice president of Disney Online. "Disney.com provides a great resource with lots of different ideas to let families celebrate dad in their own unique way."
Thousands of families recently logged on to Disney.com for the site's Mother's Day coverage, which included homemade gift ideas, crafts and fun activities to honor mom.
