Stacey:
Our family has has an annual pass to DisneyQuest for the past year and
have loved every minute of our time there! If you haven't been before,
you could spend almost an entire day there alone playing vintage video
games like Galaga and PacMan, and virtual attractions like my favorite:
Cyberspace Mountain, a roller coaster simulation ride!
Although you can probably gadge how long you'll want to play the arcade
games, Cyberspace Mountain takes a solid 30 to 45 minutes because
sometimes you'll stand in line to build your roller coaster, and you'll
always stand in line to ride it. Our family has yet to be able to ride
the Pirates of the Caribbean Battle for Gold because the line has been
too long (at least 45 minutes to an hour) to ride. Give yourself a
solid 3 to 4 hours minimum as you will enter on a middle floor and
it'll take you a while just to get your bearings!
DisneyQuest opens at 11:30 a.m. and sits on the West Side of the
Downtown Disney
campus--and on the opposite end from Disney Marketplace, where most of
the best Disney shopping is located. Because most of the shops around
it don't open until 10:30 a.m. (restaurants open at 11:00 a.m), I like
to start my day at the Marketplace. Most
shops at Disney Marketplace
open at 9:30 a.m., I grab lunch there and then take the 10-minute
stroll to DisneyQuest. If you have time, head back to the Marketplace
to hit your favorites and leave as the dinner crowd arrives!
Wishing you a magical vacation!
