Okay mates, I just got off the phone with a Disney rep. Guess what.

Yep. HE stated that use of ANY third party program--to include VOIP programs like X-Fire, Teamspeak, or Ventrilo--was a violation of the TOS and would result in a ban if discovered. He stated that they "discover" the use of VOIP in-game when people pass VOIP info to each other in-game.

He also stated the reason VOIP isn't permitted is because it allows users to bypass the disney chat filters they have put in place AND upgraded recently.

Now, as I stated before, there is a reason behind the rule. It doesn't matter how long VOIP has been around. It doesn't matter how long others have used it or in what other games. The rep I talked to very specifically said that in Disney's POTCO there is NO allowed 3rd party programs used in game that allow people to bypass the chat filters.

So, perhaps I was correct when I wrote earlier that it depends on who is being asked on any particular day? I would caution SAFETY over CONVENIENCE.
