These Tomorrowland quests were retired 05/03/07 and replaced with new ones.
Just some tips from DIS members that should help you get started with the Tomorrowland Quests or at least try to make things a little less frustrating.
Theres been a lot of great information posted on the boards and I thought I would help by putting everything in one place. If you have a general tip to contribute, PM me and Ill add it the first post so everything stays together. No specific tips about individual games here.
If information is wrong let me know and I'll fix it.
If you really need them there are Spoiler links at the end of this post.
1. Play in advanced mode
Pick an empty room when looking for things, hidden mickeys, jewels etc. Also helps when you are trying to get from room to room and players block the exits. If there are a lot of players in the room you may not be able to see something you need especially if another player is standing on it.
2. Wait to click on Next Task
If you find yourself running out of time trying to complete your next task wait to click on the Next Task button until you are in the room where you need to do your next task. You can also let your magic reset before clicking next task if the same magic is needed again.
3. Jungle cruise scoring
Thanks to LittleDragonErin for tips on playing the new Jungle Cruise.
Originally this game was kind of weird, as the instructions provided were wrong and in order to get the best score, you sort of had to play opposite of what they said. But in that style of play, high scores were in the 64,000-67,000 range. For me anyway.
Then on November 1, 2006 VMK finally changed the game to fit the way the instructions explain. Of course, that still doesn't help most players. Therefore, I'm here to try and give you an in depth look at how I get my scores.
First off, make sure your computer is a decent one. Slow computers will severely affect your game play. Although this game runs better than fireworks on some slower computers, the faster the computer, the easier it is to score higher.
Second, make sure your mouse tracking and clicking speed are adjusted properly. You can do this in your computer's Control Panel settings. If your mouse isn't moving at the same time your hand is, or if it responds slower than you click, you will not be able to score as high as you can.
Now for the game. The most important rule that you MUST follow...if you do not remember anything else but this, then that will be find. NEVER EVER PRESS THE UP KEY! NEVER! NADA! NIL! NO! Forget that key even exists in this game. It will eat up your gas and you will most likely not finish. Even one press messes you up for the rest of the game. So NEVER press the up key.
(Okay, if you're an expert player who knows how to steer and shoot, then yeah, there are times when you can use the up key to speed it up. But for all you not-so-experienced players, DO NOT use the up key.)
The patterns for the animals are pretty standard. There's only a couple changes, but otherwise they always appear in the same spots. You want to get "Flawless" as much as possible and to do that, you need to click on the animals as soon as they appear (pretty much covered in smoke). The earlier the better. MEMORIZE the animal patterns in which they appear as best as you can. Because you need to click on them right away, you want to have your cursor already there when they appear. The key is to know where the next animal is.
Currently, myself and a couple other high scoring players have noticed that you can get "Awesome" and it is actually higher than "Flawless." I'm still trying to figure out exactly what triggers the "Awesome" and if it is indeed better than "Flawless." I'll edit when I've confirmed anything about this.
Centering your shot on the animals is also a very important key. There are certain "sweet" spots you want to click to get higher points. But sometimes it's not always exactly in the center. Also, ignore the camera frame when it comes to animals on the edges. It's where your mouse is pointing that counts. Just make sure your cursor is where the animal is.
Be aware of your camera frame however...there are some animals that appear right next to each other and you don't get as many points if you get them both in the same shot. Sometimes you have to sacrifice higher scores to get 2 separate animals in 2 seperate shots.
The rocks change, but also have the same patterns. There's about four different rock patterns. I would say, first, memorize the patterns of the animals. You want to know especially where the ones in the water appear. The Hippos and Elephants are HUGE points, and you don't want to lose those points by running them over. For those that have trouble steering and shooting at the same time, once you know where it's safe to "park", do that and shoot the animals first, then steer your way to the other side. Again NEVER EVER press the up key. I know, it's slow. But better slow and high score than fast and nothing but 20 credits, right?
Some animals disappear faster than others. Learn which ones do. Hyena's are fast, while the flamingos are not quite so. The first drive through, they are pretty much easy to learn to time. As they sit for a second or two. The second time through, they disappear a bit faster. The third time, is the fastest.
Here's sort of an average breakdown of my scoring:
1:1 2,700
1:2 5,600
1:3 9,200
1:4 12,500
1:5 17,000
2:1 20,200
2:2 24,000
2:3 28,500
2:4 31,500
2:5 36,000
3:1 40,000
3:2 44,500
3:3 48,500
3:4 52,500
3:5 57,000
As always, if you're not having fun, it's not worth the stress. So my final advice, have fun! ^_^
I'll add another
If you have difficulty taking pictures and steering you can let someone else control the boat while you concentrate on taking pictures. They can avoid the hazards and pick up gas and film.

5. Quest Task Completion Tips
Thanks to BobRichmond for these
1) When you need to find a location, going to that location will complete the task.
2) When a task says to visit a NPC you need to go to that location and double click the NPC.
3) If you need to find an object and no location is given the object will most likely be at the location of your last task.
4) When the task says to earn credits the obvious solution may not be the easiest. You can always earn credtis by visiting NPCs or selling things.
Quests
Different quests are available to you at any time by clicking on the Q in the bottom Menu. These change from month to month and there are also timed Host Quests. Check the Events schedule. There is usually a 30 minute grace period to complete Host Quests. Ex. If the Quest is scheduled to end at 7:30 you have till 8 to start and complete the quest.

Fireworks Remix goals are 1,000, 3,000, 5,000 and 5,500 points. Green level also requires you to have Bat Magic. The Pink and Yellow quests were switched after the Fireworks Remix change. After completing the Blue car you might want to skip Yellow and do Pink first.
