DisFriends, a social network for Disney fans, has gone live at DisFriends.com. The online community gives Disney enthusiasts a place to create profiles and share pictures and journals, as well as communicate through live chat and discussion boards.

As part of the launch, DisFriends is featuring a "Share the Magic" promo, giving members the chance to win Disney Dollars (currency that visitors can use at various Disney theme parks, stores and on cruise ships). Participants post their favorite stories from past trips to Disneyland or Walt Disney World to enter.

"I wanted to create a special place where people who appreciate the magic of Disney are able to come together to have fun and inspire one another," said DisFriends Founder Trent Schwartz. "What makes DisFriends unique is that we encourage fans to share about both Disney and everyday life--whether that is their next Walt Disney World vacation, or what they did over the weekend."--Tameka Kee
