and had fun!!!
i'll be happy to try to answer questions if anyone has any.
Best thing i learned is that they can stop the floor from moving on the Pirates ride. I was able to play it that way. if the floor had been moving, i'd have been on the floor with bruises!
it wasn't that hard to fiind our way around inside. might have been more confusing if we'd used the stairs, but just using the elevators made it pretty easy to see where we were.
i still have some mobility, so i found it easier to park the
scooter in each zone and walk from game to game, then drive to the next zone. second day i took the walker instead of the scooter and it ended up being for the best, since it was a saturday and it was much more crowded than the first day (a tuesday).
buzz did not cause me motion sickness. aladdin did a little, but remnants of optic neuritis make 3D games a little less effective on me. DD hates anything 3D, so we skipped the comix. she didn't want to try the jungle cruise, either. the coasters we built were level one, very tame. it was a little difficult to get into/out of the simulator for me, but doable. the human pinball game was doable for me because your feet don't move, you just jerk your body (using your arms/shoulders) forward and back. although it wasn't really a favorite of mine, i did it twice so DD wouldn't have to play alone-it was that EMPTY in the building! we liked and had no trouble with learning how to draw minnie mouse (but unlike at mgm, you have to pay to keep your drawing). DD also liked creating a song (which we videotaped during playback since we weren't going to buy the cd!). one of the 4 sound booths was larger to accomodate a wheelchair. it was fun to play the "old" video games - pac man, donkey kong jr, space invaders, asteroids, etc. skeeball was free on the 5th floor (no prizes) or pay on the 4th floor (win prizes).
going mid-week in january in the middle of the day we often had NO LINES for even the most popular things. and less people made it much easier to navigate. when we returned on saturday, it was a very different place, much more people. we would not have had as much fun if it had been our first visit. and i'm guessing that even that was "light" compared with DQ at night and during the summer.
