Disney Quest?

[Stitch Inside]

Is there plenty to do at DQ for a 5 year old? Are there height requirements? I'd hate for him to have to watch me all night.

Here is a list of things that would keep a five eyar olds interest:

Create Zone:

Animation Academy
Up to 18 guests can take a mini-course in animation. Guests are seated at computer desks, and are given instruction in how to draw like a Disney animator. When you're finished, you can go to the Guest Gallery and pick up your masterpiece, along with a certificate of completion.



Sid's Create A Toy
Here, you walk up to any one of about 10 consoles and use a joystick to navigate through all the doll parts strewn about Sid's room. You can pick up various pieces to create your own doll. When you are finished, you can go to the Guest Gallery (which is different from GUEST SERVICES) area and purchase the doll you just created !! There are 64 unique items (this refers to common parts...every arm has a matching counterpart, so it's only counted once) to use in creating your doll!! There are some neat features to several of the parts. For example, the baby doll head has eyes that blink, skeleton parts glow in the dark, the wheels actually roll. Toy kits come with extra connectors so you can stick all the appendages out of one socket, or put two toys together (this is only available if you purchase more than one toy..there is no option in the game for this).

Magic Mirror
You sit in front of a mirror, then have your picture taken (which appears on a screen in front of you). From there you have all sorts of tools to distort your face, add different eyes, ears, noses, mouths, etc. At the end, you can opt to purchase your picture at the Guest Gallery.

Living Easels
This is kind of like "computer finger painting" where you can choose from 9 themes with 45 different backgrounds (all of which can be "enchanted" to make it even more unique...for example, you can add a night scene, or additional artwork to the picture). You can then place characters, animals, extra plants, etc. throughout the artwork. You can animate this to watch it play out as a short scene, then you can purchase a picture of what you've created.

Replay Zone:

Midway on the Moon
This is set up in much the same style as a standard arcade. This is a great location for younger kids, with games like Skee-Ball which issue you coupons that can be redeemed for prizes.

Hope that helped

It's been a while since we went, but I would have said, in addition to the above, there are other things you two can enjoy together. There are a few virtual reality games that groups of people participate in. There's a remote control car game where one person drives while the other gives instructions. There's the make your own roller-coaster thing -- not sure if that has an age limit. They really strap you in those things -- you'll just want to start with a relatively tame coaster...

I think you'll find lots for him to do. Have fun!

If your 5 yr old can do computer games independently, he will find lots to do. If not, I'd skip it. Even the "games" listed in the previous response require a lot of independent activity. At night DQ will also be a lot more crowded and your son may find it too crowded for him.
