This is a good idea. It's not really my thing, but kids today need more interactive stuff to draw them in. It should be really popular.

I'm glad they're at least taking into consideration what works and doesn't work when they're designing the copy versions. I've never paid the Kim Possible adventure much attention, but I've read about issues with multiple families trying to complete the same task at once, as well as the locations of the clues and features putting those playing in the way of other guests who are just touring World Showcase. They seem fun and I would like to try them at least once.
Can't wait to take my twin boys on their first trip to Walt Disney World! Planning on heading there sometime Feb-May 2014!

Do you have the time to try Kim Possible on this next trip? F1gment and I wanted to try it on our past trip, but it wasn't running the day we inquired.

I'm hoping we will! We keep saying that we're going to try it every time we go, but then we never actually end up doing it. Probably because we spend the least amount of time at Epcot. But these new versions have me really wanting to try the original for myself. Plus, I liked Kim Possible when it was new.

If you do get a chance to try it, you will have to let me know if it would still be fun for someone that has never seen Kim Possible...that would be my Mom and me ;)

I will say that after thirteen days on Disney property and 11 days in the parks. I think overall they got a little repetitive but we managed to try out different things. Of course if you're doing the same attractions every day it will get boring pretty fast. However, if you space it out and try different things (shows, parades etc) you will not get bored at all. In the end it comes down to planning. We did different things and took a day or two away from the parks. It worked out and nobody got bored at all. In fact we were satisfied (I was still saddened) coming home as we had felt we accomplished a lot!

I would love to have the opportunity to see if I could get bored with the MK. There are always things on my "next time" list that I just never get to. And the more posts I read from people, the longer my list grows. But that is a good thing: thinking about that next time!

I thought that a few trips back when we were there for about 12 or 13 days. The attractions lost a bit of their magic after you had seen them multiple times, but it gave me a chance to notice the smaller details. With F1gment moving a bit slower, on this past trip we still didn't get around to everything so I have things to look forward to for the next trip! I do wish I would have skipped one of the rides on Toy Story Mania and taken the time to get through the One Man's Dream exhibit!

All of my previous trips were 8 days and shorter. I have said that over the years you get to enjoy the smaller and more finite details on the attractions since you are familiar with the storyline already. We still ended up skipping one or two attractions, but there is always next time for that :D

Would you be interested in trying this?

I'm afraid children as well as adults are bored with anything that doesn't have a flashing screen or little buttons to push :roll: . My biggest fear, they will slowly replace everything to please the attention deficite disordered public :( .

It does seem that way sometimes. I hope they resist the urge and keep some of the charm :D

I never get bored with "classic" Disney. I hope WDW never loses site of that! Not everything has to be interactive.

But they do have to strive to be cutting edge or it's going to be like going through the motions. Right now anyone can do the old passive method, they are looking to involve the guests.
