Attention "High School Musical" fans...your Zac Efron parties are about to getting a little more exciting. That's because Disney is set to launch something called the Disney BD Live Network, coming soon to a Blu-ray player near you.

The free service (included on every Disney Blu-ray disc starting with "Sleeping Beauty" on October 17) will connect BD Live-enabled movies to the Internet, allowing a variety of interactive features to be downloaded to the disc. Among the most impressive? The ability for folks to sync their players together and (provided everyone owns the movie) watch the film in real-time together with on-screen chatting capabilities. This means the next time a "High School Musical" flick hits Blu-ray, teens can hold a virtual party with friends anywhere in the country, chatting together and pausing to gush over Zac's mezmorizing wink. Or even more OMG-worthy, that Disney can hold a live viewing for fans with Zac and the cast, with everyone's machines sync'd together across America as they provide commentary and respond to questions.
