I still see it listed on the website, but if they plan on closing it before Feb. they wouldn't necessarily put that info on the site. Does anyone know for sure?

I was pregnant (still am!) and couldn't ride any of the simulaters, too much motion, and I'm not much of a video game fan, so it didn't do much for me. I did enjoy the internet cafe, and that ElderP was having a good time.

Originally Posted By jonnyrzone420 whats wrong with disney quest? If you like all types of video games your all set. If you got the water parks fun and more pass, its definitely something to do. especially if your at DTD with the kids and it starts to rain. I still like the genie elevator ride.

It will be shuttered sooner than later.
Originally Posted By DVC_dad I agree word for word with post # 7. It is a BIG, OLD, and DATED arcade. If Disney would just update some of the stuff in there it would be much better. Ride the Comics, tho my 12 year old LOVES it, IMHO well it stinks. Now Battle for Buccaneer Gold is Awesome! I think too, it's a little over priced. But it's worth doing ONE time.

He was telling me that the most they get out of it is having the indoor option for the folks who are staying a week and it is included with their ticket media. If they gutted the place it is an awfully big building that seems would have a lot of options.
