What is Disney Quest

 

[Beaniebug]

It is Heaven to my DH and two DS's. It is full of video games and interactive video games. They have different floors of all kinds of interactive games. Pay one price and you can play all day. My family loved it.

Disney Quest is an indoor arcade and virtual reality playground. For a one-price admission fee, you can play video games and virtual reality games to you hearts content.

They have traditional video games (like an arcade) but they also have some high end virtual reality experiences, where you raft down virtual rivers, fly Alladins carpet and even design and ride your own roller coaster!

Its located in downtown disney, not far from Cirque de Soliel and House of Blues. Its fun for kids (or adults who like video games). I highly recommend it.

DisneyQuest also has computers with internet access which makes checking email or getting on the DIS a piece of cake while the kids are playing.

Are you sure we don't have the same DH and 2 Ds's? I couldnt pull my men out of there! They would much rather do DQ than the parks. I finally gave in and purchased an additional DQ AP for myself (they had DQ AP's already) and found the internet and chocolate cake floor too!

If you cant beat em join em and grab a piece of cake! LOL

My boys loved SSR, because they could see DQ from our room, when we werent there. Plus it was a quick walk.

Great place to go on a rainy day.

So....is DisneyQuest crowded so you have to wait for video games or other interactive activities? I would think that this kind of arcade would be heaven for the locals who get a Florida PAP and let their kids off there for the day!

We go in the summer months when the local kids are out of school. Is it too crowded to be even worth it then?

Is there an additional charge for computer access or is it included in DQ admission?

TIA!

Granny,
We were there on Christmas Day 2004 when the weather was horrible, rainy and cold. It was crowded and the restaurants were running out of food to sell as they didnt expect Christmas Day to be that crowded.

That said, there was plenty to do and I found most of the kids knew the DQ etiquette, that if someone stands behind you while you are playing a game, that means they are next. Most will finish their game and step aside for the next player. The CM's dont really get involved in regulating game play but that system works most of the time. My 5 year old would sometimes push the button to play again so I would have to move him along and explain it to him that someone was waiting.

It really is worth it, especially if you like some of the more expensive games like DDR and VR games because these can cost $1 or more per play.
I found the internet cafe to be worth the cost of the $85 AP for myself, because we dont carry a computer to WDW and dont have to pay $10 per day for internet access. Our December trip was 15 nights so I was able to use the computers there quite a bit to check email and the DIS while DH and the boys played. You will have to have more patience at the Internet Cafe, because the adults dont play as well as the kids and normally camp out at the computers for hours. I admit that on my first visit I was guilty of this too, because you cant really tell if people are waiting. I am now more cognizant of it because the computers time out at 30 minutes and you have to log back in.

DQ stays open really late. Most nights until 12 am and on weekends 1 am. We would do the parks or relax during the day and spend our evenings (most times til close) at DQ.

I could really see letting the boys hang out there by themselves when they are old enough because it is self contained with food and lounges and they really dont have to leave. Our cell phones (cingular) worked pretty good in there too.

There is no additional charge, but I was posting on another thread where someone said that it can be very difficult to get a computer. The computers are on the top floor with the restaurant. This person basically said that if you pop into the cafe periodically and try to get a computer, you'll probably never be successful. She typically grabs a bite to eat and keeps an eye on those using the computers. Within 30 minutes, someone usually leaves and she grabs the terminal.

Thanks a lot for the response, that's very helpful.

Reminds me of looking for a parking space in Manhattan--Look for someone pulling out and rush like crazy to grab it before anyone else does.
