(But please, NO SPOILERS for those that might want to try this and be surprised by what happens.)

Originally Posted By brotherdave Ah, that kind of explains this now. They got a jumpstart on this technology before Universal starts their's next year. It certainly does look fun, even for adults. I did happen upon one adventure on YouTube for the United Kingdom. It actually seems better than it sounds. Be forwarned that the YouTube videos show the complete 'missions' for those that don't want it spoiled for them.
Originally Posted By -em I did one of the quests yesterday and enjoyed it- I was assigned to Norway and was impressed how many effects it did.

I had to drop it into a box but there didnt seem to be a check in at all...

I believe at TWWoHP instead of a booklet it will be The Marauder Map, with the clues being written on the back by Fred And George Weasley.

Originally Posted By Kennesaw Tom I think KP is a great idea, but I agree that doesn't mean their should not be more work done in EPCOT.

I agree. This would have been a great little addition had they been taking care of business elsewhere. I'm glad they did add this, BUT there are much more urgent things needed. That's not a put down of the attraction, just my opinion of priorities.

I had assumed that the tag was part of how they keep them from being removed from the parks.

It sure seems like this was well done and well integrated into World Showcase, doesn't destroy anything existing and should be very popular with a demo that Disney PR likes to spin as not digging (using 60s lingo I read in a book thingee to better communicate with an old fella like MPierce!) today's Epcot. But much like the LCI attractions -- and the even kewler roaming AA's like Bunsen and Beaker and Lucky -- it seems like they get passed off as attractions in the same vein as things like SSE or Poc or ToT etc ... when they aren't. Talking screens and walking toons are great toys for the Imagineers and fun to see (well, except for the dreadful MILF) but they don't take the place of real attractions, shows and rides that are immersive.

Originally Posted By CarolinaDisneyDad We did Kim Possible in Nov. It was fun but not something I would consider a major attraction. It is very smart of Disney to do. It got me to go to places in World Showcase that I would have never gone otherwise. Who knew there was so much neat stuff in each pavilion. In the long run it will increase WS exposure to the guests and that can only be good.
