Is DisneyQuest a waste of time w/ a 4 year old?

[w8ting4pooh]

My kids are all into video games big time. Disneyquest is on our schedule as a must-do.

I only want to do that 'going down the river' simulator w/the kids and dh. Is there other fun stuff for a 4 year old to do? I read that this place was more for 10 year olds and up.

I was thinking of just doing that one ride and taking him to MGM to see Playhouse Disney while the rest have fun w/Dad.

There is a bunch of just viedo games that are just regular viedo games. But the river thing I don;t like it at all. But I think he might like it!

DQ is a very fun place if you're old enough to enjoy it. I went with my ds when he was 18yr and we had a blast, but, because I also had an almost 3 yr dd I deliberately looked around for things she could do if we came back that trip. There wasn't much, some carnival Chuckie Cheese games that you had to pay extra for. I saw lots of kids being sadly dragged around, some were crying, because they could not participate in the fun. This year we're going to try DQ as a family. DD is almost 5 and very tall. We're hoping to all get on that river rafting ride. It was a gas last time!

The virtual Pirates of the Caribbean was so much fun... my DD8 steered the ship and I fired the cannons... what a laugh... until we sank

If you have to pay a separate admission, I would wait till the 4 year old is bigger. I don't think there is much for 4 year old to do other than some computer games here and there and a few games like at Chuck E Cheese.

He's 41" tall (and won't be 4 until next month). He should be able to go on the raft ride, I guess. We could just leave and go to MGM after I do what I can w/him.

We won't be paying extra since it's part of our UPH so I don't mind going for just 30 minutes or so.
