Mom's Minute

Lots of fun are to be had at Walt Disney World Resorts.  It may not be surprising to you that Walt Disney World Resorts are expanding  video game experiences you can have  while enjoying all the other activities and attractions.

For  example, Walt Disney World in Orlando has a brand new game called Sorcerers' of the Magic Kingdom.  This is a real life interactive video game that you play as you walk through the park and consists of 90 minutes of animation.

The storyline is that Disney villains are trying to take over the park and you must use your magic cards to stop them. The players' routes are controlled real-time by technology that shows the flow of foot traffic.  Players must learn to interact with 20 kiosks hidden throughout the park. This game is being compared to a real-live version of Magic: The Gathering and is described as a live action role playing game similar to Everquest.

Video game influences are also inherit in the redesign of the Test Track at Epcot Center.  You will be able to redesign your own concept car and take it for a test drive.

Of course these video game influenced rides are just the tip of the iceberg of all the excitement to be experienced at Walt Disney World Resorts. With the theme parks growing, including the addition of an Avatar Theme Park and an expansion of Fantasyland, it follows that video game influenced attractions will grow as well.
