DisneyQuest
Encyclopedia
DisneyQuest is an "indoor interactive theme park" located in Downtown Disney
at the Walt Disney World Resort
in Florida
. It is housed in a five-story, windowless building. Guests enter the first-floor lobby and are transported via a "magic" elevator to the third floor atrium at the start of their visit.
The second DisneyQuest was built and opened in Chicago, but it was permanently closed on September 4, 2001 due to low attendance. After the failure of DisneyQuest Chicago, the DisneyQuest project was officially brought to an end. Construction that had begun on a DisneyQuest in Philadelphia was scrapped, and a DisneyQuest at Disneyland Resort
in California never proceeded past the planning stage. Disney announced another location to be built in downtown Toronto
(at the Dundas Square
inside the new high tech mall Metropolis), but the project was also canceled.
After the closure of the Chicago location, Disney Regional Entertainment turned over control of the remaining location to Walt Disney World operations.
The attractions at DisneyQuest are of a modular design, so that they could be easily replaced and updated. Originally, the idea was that no attraction would ever go unchanged for more than two or three years. However, after the Chicago location and the DisneyQuest project overall were closed, the one location in Florida has not been significantly changed.
The only time an attraction has been changed out was in preparation for the opening of DisneyQuest Chicago. An attraction based on the Disney version of Hercules
was replaced with Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for Buccaneer Gold.
*As of 2011, the Genie is no longer located in the cybrolators and there is no word on whether he will return or not. If you ask a Disney Quest Cast Member, they will tell you that the Genie is on vacation with the hopes that he will return soon.
As of fall 2008, alcohol is served on the fourth floor in the Wonderland Cafe area.
Both the Cheesecake Factory restaurants were closed at the end of May 2008 after the Cheesecake factory's contract expired. Then reopened June 2008 by the Food Quest, Disney owned and operated quick services. The Pizza, Pasta, and Panini and Burgers, Dogs, and Wraps sides have been consolidated and only one side is open, except during peak hours with slightly altered menus. The Cafe area on the fourth floor was reopened as well during the peak summer season on test runs. It now features grab and go food items along with desserts, popcorn and alcoholic beverages.
) machines and photo booths, all games and attractions inside DisneyQuest are included after admission is paid. Depending on daily attendance levels, late-night tickets are sometimes sold for half-price two hours prior to closing each night.
When DisneyQuest was first opened it had a lower admission fee but each attraction and game required a player to swipe a card to pay "credits" for it, and the card could be "recharged" by putting it and some money into a recharging station, similar to Dave & Buster's
gaming restaurants. Within a few years this was changed to a single flat fee for entry, and the cards and readers were no longer used. The card readers continued to be used for a few years as means to insert credits (the card readers were set to free mode, and pressing the green "OK" button would insert a credit), but as new games moved in and old ones were retired, the card readers began to vanish as the machines were simply set to free play within the games themselves and, while a few can still be found, they are incredibly scarce today, and have all been disabled completely.
One section of the fourth floor, called "Midway on the Moon," was devoted to redemption game
s. These games were not included in the admission cost of DisneyQuest, and still used the swipe cards even after the rest of the facility switched to free-play. Players could exchange tickets won at these games of skill for various prizes. However, in late 2005, the games were converted to free play and no longer dispense tickets.
Certain attractions have souvenirs available for purchase in the second floor Guest Gallery. Cyberspace Mountain has an available video of the created roller coaster, with footage of the guests riding the attraction. The Animation Academy, Sid's Create-A-Toy, the Living Easels and Radio Disney Song Maker all offer the option of purchasing created items.

Background
The DisneyQuest project was designed as a way for the Disney brand to reach populations that may not have the chance to travel to its various theme park destinations. It was meant to target large cities and urban areas. Had the project continued, Disney had plans to construct locations in many major cities in the United States.The second DisneyQuest was built and opened in Chicago, but it was permanently closed on September 4, 2001 due to low attendance. After the failure of DisneyQuest Chicago, the DisneyQuest project was officially brought to an end. Construction that had begun on a DisneyQuest in Philadelphia was scrapped, and a DisneyQuest at Disneyland Resort

Design
The locations were to be similar in layout and attractions. This was so the various locations could contribute financially to new attraction designs (which cost in the range of several million USD), thereby reducing the cost that each location has to foot itself.The attractions at DisneyQuest are of a modular design, so that they could be easily replaced and updated. Originally, the idea was that no attraction would ever go unchanged for more than two or three years. However, after the Chicago location and the DisneyQuest project overall were closed, the one location in Florida has not been significantly changed.
The only time an attraction has been changed out was in preparation for the opening of DisneyQuest Chicago. An attraction based on the Disney version of Hercules

was replaced with Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for Buccaneer Gold.
Mascot
The Genie from Aladdin is an unofficial mascot of DisneyQuest. Upon entering at ground level, one is brought by an elevator (here called a "cybrolator," containing a short & humorous animation of Genie welcoming you) up to the center of the third floor (the "Ventureport"), where one's visit begins.* He is also heard on the end-of-day closing announcements. When a game or attraction is down, a sign reading "The Genie has spotted a technical problem..." is displayed.*As of 2011, the Genie is no longer located in the cybrolators and there is no word on whether he will return or not. If you ask a Disney Quest Cast Member, they will tell you that the Genie is on vacation with the hopes that he will return soon.
