Singapore, September 20, 2006 – Walt Disney Internet Group (WDIG) today announced that its critically acclaimed Disney's Toontown Online, hailed as the first downloadable massively multiplayer (MMP) 3D online game for kids and families, will be available to kids and families in South East Asia in early 2007.

Through a marketing and distribution services deal with Philippines-based company Digital Media Exchange, Disney’s Toontown Online will be distributed in The Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam in early 2007.
