Disney's (DIS) Web sites, which include the popular ESPN.com, ABC.com and Disney.com, have bee
n among the Internet's most visited, according to this NYTimes.com article.
The word is Robert A. Iger, Disney chief executive, will be introducing a new Disney.com Web site that has taken more than a year to design. He is expected to reveal the new and improved Web site at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Jan. 8.

at in the company's Internet properties.
