    My boys are both members of Club Penguin. The love it and I am comfortable with them being on the site. They started as free members and they we upgraded them to the paid membership.

    It is insanely popular here.

    So the age levels will pretty much be Club Penguin, Toontown, Virtual Magic Kingdom, and then Pirate's Online whenever it does fully open. It's going to be interesting to see what they might do to the game.

    My younger kids (10 & 11) play on Club Penguin all the time, and love it. It's very much like VMK, but nowhere near as nice.

    I don't really understand why Disney's doing this though. It really doesn't seem like a match for the two of them. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what becomes of this.

    I live in Kelowna, BC where Club Penguin originated and is based. I know two of the moderators. Recently we talked about how Disney's VMK was much the same only a little more advanced (caters to older kids than CP) and we speculated as to whether Disney would ever start charging for VMK because Club Penguin has been so successful charging a fee for the same idea. A week or so ago a rumor started around Kelowna that someone was trying to acquire Club Penguin, imagine my surprise when they said it was Disney. I'm thrilled for them, it puts their Company on the map. So far there is no mention of the Company moving to the US.
    I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.

    My older two (11 & 8) both love Club Penguin. It's highly addictive so I have to limit each of them to an hour or two a week. Between our neighborhood, school and church friends alost all the children with access to a computer play on this site. Before I let my kids play on here I played for a while just to check out the security. The site has a lot of good safe guards to protect the kids.

    I imagine with the growth the site has had, the revenues from the memebership, advertising and the ability to cross it's other items this was a good purchase for Disney.
