Pixie Hollow Online Game (http://disney.go.com/inside/mainattraction/090217/index.html)

What little girl hasn't dreamed of being a fairy? And no wonder -- whether it's being able to fly as lightly as thistledown, the delights of life on a micro scale, or just those wonderfully becoming frocks woven of rose petals and spider silk, fairies lead a simply enchanting life.

Now fairy fanciers can flutter and explore to their heart's content in Disney Fairies Pixie Hollow. This online world lets Guests create their own lovely Fairy characters, explore beautiful settings and play games, make friends with other Fairies, and even meet Tinker Bell herself! According to lead producer Kristin Rozum, the freedom to choose from a wide variety of activities is one of the reasons Pixie Hollow is a success. "Some people really like the chat and friendship features, others want to decorate their fairy houses – and some are just big Tinker Bell fans!" she laughs.

The first thing a new Fairy will want to do is test her wings with a visit to Tinker Bell's home in Cottonpuff Field. Tink has a quest that will help the new player explore the Fairy world, meet the famous Fairies (they'll be familiar to viewers of Disney's "Tinker Bell,"), and play all the Fairy games. It's a great way to get oriented in Pixie Hollow – and to begin collecting ingredients, which Fairies can earn by playing games (or discover by searching the meadows) and exchange for Fairy furniture and fashions.

Once a Fairy is comfortable and knows her way around, she can build her collection of ingredients, accept quests, or just enjoy "flying" through the lovely seasonal realms of Pixie Hollow. There are badges to earn and skills to perfect. Guests can even make stationery featuring their Fairies to print and enjoy.

Interacting with the Fairy community can be a lot of fun, and seems to be the main attraction for many young Guests. Whether posting pixie poems and Fairy Tales for all to read, meeting up with real-life friends to play together online, or making new pals, Pixie Hollow is full of opportunities to interact and create a world of magical make-believe. Fairies can even attend special events online, complete with decorations and special activities, where they can mingle and chat with friends -- and even Tinker Bell.

Pixie Hollow is a polite and friendly place. To keep it that way, the chat options are carefully designed to make sure that Fairies play nice – on the SpeedChat level, Guests choose from a menu of appropriate comments, like "Hello" and "I love your style!" SpeedChat Plus lets friends chat with more freedom of choice – as long as language stays appropriate. This is a place for polite pixies only!

Kristin says that, although Pixie Hollow was designed to make little girls' dreams come true, a surprising number of grown-up Guests have discovered their inner Fairies. "Moms and grandmas start out playing with their little girls, and they find out how fun it is," she explains. "It's really something that every generation can enjoy together!"

Basic Membership is free, and allows a Guest to create up to three Fairies, play, and explore. Premium subscription Membership gives Guests access to special features and allows them to shop in the Fairy boutiques. Either way, the Fairy fun is enchanting – and you never know when you'll find something new to do in Pixie Hollow.
