When: May 3, 11 a.m – 4 p.m.

Where: ZSL London Zoo

Who: Everyone is invited

What: Free access to the zoo, a chance to feed real penguins, and lots of activities (I heard there might even be a ‘best penguin costume’ contest)

Places are limited, so register early by emailing penguinparty@cowpr.com. We also ask that you don’t contact the Zoo directly. They are pretty busy taking care of all those penguins!

In other news: Thanks for all your feedback about the new site! We’re still ‘polishing’ it and your suggestions are a great help!

Club Penguin will now be called Disney’s Club Penguin, the companies announced today. There have been rumors about another player in the ring ever since Sony backed out of its potential $500 million deal to buy Club Penguin. Disney, apparently, stepped into the ring. There’s no number mentioned, but PaidContent is reporting the deal as “a cash payment of $350 million and an opportunity to earn out an additional $350 million between now and 2009″ based on a conversation with Disney CEO Bob Iger. While “Disney plans no immediate changes to the operation or business model of Club Penguin,” the release also add plans for expansion:”By leveraging Walt Disney Internet Group resources and experience, Club Penguin plans to create international versions in Europe and Asia, as well as in the Americas.” Disney has been busy in the virtual world space, announcing a virtual world network over the Nintendo DS, switching ToonTown to an ad-supported model, and, included in this release, working on Disney Fairies, an online world for girls based on DisneyFairies.com.

The Walt Disney Company Acquires Club Penguin

Club Penguin Founders to Join The Walt Disney Internet Group

KELOWNA, British Columbia & BURBANK, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–As a part of its strategy for long-term growth through applying new technologies to the creation and global distribution of high-quality family entertainment, The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) has acquired Club Penguin, one of the fastest-growing online virtual worlds for kids. The addition of Club Penguin to Disney’s existing online assets will further strengthen the company’s objective of establishing clear leadership in online virtual worlds for kids and families.

Since its launch in October 2005, award-winning Club Penguin has grown to more than 700,000 current paid subscribers, and has achieved this remarkable subscriber and user growth with very limited marketing efforts, relying mostly on strong product and word of mouth awareness among kids. The site has more than 12 million activated users, primarily in the U.S. and Canada, and is one of the fastest growing online destinations for kids ages 6-14. The site features animated penguin avatars that inhabit a snow-covered virtual world, converse with other users, participate in group activities and create and furnish a virtual home with currency earned inside the game.

“This acquisition is consistent with our strategy of leveraging technology to create and deliver high-quality entertainment around the world and our commitment to investing our capital to generate growth and value for our shareholders,” said Bob Iger, Disney president and CEO. “Club Penguin embodies principles that are of the utmost importance to Disney – providing high-quality family entertainment and fostering parental trust. The founders have woven together new technologies and creativity to build an incredibly compelling, immersive entertainment experience for kids and families. Just as with our own Disney.com, kids love Club Penguin and parents trust it; and we are proud to welcome the creative team of Club Penguin into Disney. Combining the creativity and knowledge of the Club Penguin team with our existing Disney Online assets will help us further achieve our objective of establishing clear leadership in the kids and families online virtual worlds space around the globe.”

“We have been actively searching for an organization that not only shares our values and concerns for children, but also has the ability and desire to help us bring Club Penguin to more children throughout the world. We’ve found that partner in Disney,” said Lane Merrifield, one of Club Penguin’s three founders. “As a former employee of Disneyland, I’ve always had a great respect for what Walt created. When he first envisioned Disneyland, he wanted to create a safe place that he and his daughters could enjoy. In the process of creating Club Penguin, we shared that passion and often pulled from Walt’s vision in the hope of creating a unique place online that we would be comfortable letting our own children visit.”

Club Penguin, which will be called Disney’s Club Penguin, will retain its URL (www.clubpenguin.com) and will remain based in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. The company’s three founders, Lane Merrifield, Dave Krysko and Lance Priebe, will join Disney and remain the senior management team of the unit. Merrifield, Club Penguin’s chief executive officer, will become an executive vice president of The Walt Disney Internet Group (WDIG), reporting to WDIG President Steve Wadsworth. Disney plans no immediate changes to the operation or business model of Club Penguin.

“What Lane, Dave and Lance have achieved in creating such a large community around this incredibly engaging, immersive environment in so short of a time is phenomenal,” Wadsworth said. “We welcome their unique culture, and both we and they are excited about seeing what can come from combining their innovations with Disney’s brand strength and entertainment assets, global reach, and our No. 1 position with kids and families in Disney.com. We expect to continue Club Penguin’s strong growth well into the future, especially by targeting markets outside of North America and through promotion on our Disney-branded platforms.”

For Disney, the addition of Club Penguin is but the latest in a year of successes in the Disney-branded online space. In early 2007, the company debuted the new Disney.com, which remains the No. 1 site for kids and families. Using the latest broadband-based technologies, the new Disney.com offers all things Disney in one place on the Web, including videos on demand, games (including virtual world MMOGs) as well as aspects of community, social networking, user-generated content and creation of individual media lists, all in an environment designed for kids with safety in mind.

Disney was one of the first companies to enter the virtual world space for kids and families with the introduction of Disney’s Toontown Online in 2003, the first massively multiplayer online game for kids and families. Later this year, Disney will launch Pirates of the Caribbean Online, and in 2008 will debut Disney Fairies, a virtual world aimed at girls and based on Tinker Bell and her friends, which builds upon the popular Disneyfairies.com site that launched in January 2007. DisneyFairies.com allows users to create, outfit and name fairy avatars, as well as obtain and decorate a home for the avatar, all in the world of Tinker Bell. To date, nearly 2.5 million Fairies have been created on the site.

Strategically, Disney plans to develop a Disney-branded connected entertainment network that allows users to access Disney-branded content, including virtual worlds and Disney.com games and videos, any time and anywhere, as well as communicate with each other across platforms, through a Web-based hub connected with PCs and mobile devices such as cell phones and game platforms.

Until now, Club Penguin’s user base has been primarily located in the United States, United Kingdom and Canada. By leveraging Walt Disney Internet Group resources and experience, Club Penguin plans to create international versions in Europe and Asia, as well as in the Americas.

WDIG and Club Penguin management will be exploring ways to integrate Club Penguin into the Disney-connected entertainment network over time.

Club Penguin welcomes users of all ages, but is designed primarily for kids ages 6 to 14. Club Penguin, like Disney’s other virtual worlds, features a velvet rope model of usage. While users can play for free for an unlimited time and enjoy a portion of the virtual world’s geography and functionality, a user must subscribe in order to achieve status rank in the game, take advantage of certain features or make purchases of in-game goods such as furnishings for an avatar’s igloo home. A subscription is $5.95 a month or $57.95 a year. In addition to subscriptions, Club Penguin also generates revenue from sales of merchandise online, such as plush versions of penguins’ pet puffles, t-shirts and gift cards.

He’s finally back! The Captain has returned from his long voyage at sea and he’s going to be around Club Penguin for the next 10 days! He made a big announcement in the Club Penguin Times yesterday–be sure to check it out. It has to do with a new room!!!

There sure is a lot going on right now, and not all of it has to do with Rockhopper. The sports catalog was updated today! Let us know what you think about it!

In other news: Thank you all for your excitement around the penguin party at the London Zoo on May 3rd. There has been such great feedback that the event is now FULL! Unfortunately we can not fit anyone else into the event. Sorry to those of you who can’t attend, but we hope to do something like this again in the future.

Until then…waddle on!

It sure was a long weekend waiting for Rockhopper to hide his key somewhere on the island! Monday is here and if you haven’t already started looking for it, you can start now! Rockhopper’s key is tucked away somewhere on the island–when you find it you can use it to open the door to his Captain’s Quarters!!! Get together with some friends and form search teams to look for it!

I haven’t said anything about what’s inside his quarters because I wanted it to really be a surprise–but here’s a hint: it’s something you and a friend can do together!

In other news: The Captain’s Quarters isn’t the only room that was released today…check out the Migrator for the second room!

As always, as soon as you get inside let us know what you think.

Until then…waddle on!

Here’s a sneak peek of the new room on CP. It looks to me like it’s Rockhopper’s room! Rockhopper will arrive on Friday (along with the party).

lso, if you still don’t know, there’s a “new” note on RH’s door and the ‘Change to Big Screen Mode’ feature will be added to CP next Tuesday. The Mission-Select folder and F.I.S.H. has been updated. Click the sunglasses to get the Night Vision Goggles (which can be used in place of the flashlight in Mission 3). And once you get medal for the new mission, you can open it and see what time it is!
