Please tell me it's just going to be an MGM Studios -> Hollywood Studios deal. Downtown Disney is my second favorite area of WDW.

>>85917356
Wow I am shocked that DisneyQuest was still around. I remember playing SNK vs Capcom or MvC or something for the first time there.
I can't imagine it was doing well for them and I'd imagine most of the "games" are extremely dated.

>>85917356
Disney stopped giving a shit about Disney Quest a long time ago. The VR games were cool 16-17 years ago, but they never really did anything other than those original ones. Maybe it'll come back when people buy new VR tech and it gets more financially lucrative for them.

I'm not talking about Downtown. DisneyQuest is the center with all the arcade games int.

Last time I've been to WDW was in 2013.

Fuck man, as long as the old stores are still there I'll be OK. The Town Center area was made from a parking lot so it doesn't hurt too bad.

>>85918242
You do realize that they're probably going to put those arcade games in a different section of the park, right?

>>85918066
It's a name change plus expanded shopping section. Most of the classic downtown disney stores like World of Disney etc still remain. the new stuff is West of T-Rex restaurant

It's fine as long as contemporary still has that F-Zero AX machine

They might not be as popular as before, but you can still find fucking arcades just about anywhere if you look hard enough.

>>85918700
First time hearing this. Did they promise that? Or is that just a joke?

>>85918557
I don't know the specific stores since i have not been to the new place yet. But you probably could find the list on Disney website.

While we're on the subject of Disney parks. I know that I will get a lot of hate for saying this but I am rather optimistic about Mission Breakout retheme of Tower of Terror at DCA mostly because I really like GOTG.

You can get the same experience for less money at a Dave and Busters or just buy/pirate the individual games.

They'll probably end up at Cast Connection.

>>85918439

They also closed Pleasure Island and added a ton of stores, like an Under Armour store, a Billabong, Kate Spade, MAC, Zara, etc. A bunch of new restaurants, a cupcake shop; they're also re-doing the seafood boat restaurant.

I went to Disney Quest for the first and only time a year back. Everything was EXTREMELY dated it was embarrassing.

Yeah, go enjoy playing the game alone without a proper arcade stick

>YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE AWAY OVER A DECADE OF MY FUCKING CHILDHOOD LIKE THIS
They already did that to me basically when the Virgin Megastore closed down, but that's to be expected when bookstores have been disappearing for years now.

At least they opened this place up recently and it's pretty cool. Not nearly as huge or great as The Adventurer's Club was, but still more interesting than most of the bars there.

>>85919365
Dated, yes. But the Pirates game was A+++. Remember me and my dad used to kick ass at that game, just the two of us. We outdid whole families' worth of wannabe buccaneers. Good times. Good times.

>haven't been to Disney World in over 10 years

Fuck I wish i had money

Disneyquest kinda sucks, the only good things left were the fighting game cabinets. They don't keep shit clean and fixed and a lot of stuff is just busted or out of order.

Unless you're eating at one of the restaurants, going to Disney Springs is a waste of time. The only decent stores are the ones selling Disney merch and it's all stuff you can find in the parks anyway.

World of Disney, pin store, and the art place is pretty cool. Keep meaning to look for something in the cooking store but I never find anything.

Can't speak for Florida, but the one in Williamsburg is awesome. The food's actually pretty good, too, IIRC. That said it's been a while.

>>85924005
I remember going to the LEGO store when the first gen of Bonkles was ending and there was nothing there but the Legend Reborn DVD and guidebook. One of the clerks told me about Hero Factory before it was announced. Was pretty cool. The guidebook made me actually like the final year of Bionicle, story-wise.

I always go into the christmas store and get ornaments for family members as x-mas gifts when I go. Such a comfy store.

I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't, it was expensive as fuck.

Disney World doesn't admit single males anyway, it's a moot point.

It only lasted 20 minutes. Half of it was explaining roles and asking me yes or no questions. I barely had the opportunity to explain my qualifications or mention anything memorable and I'm afraid I may not have sounded confident because it went so damn quick and I was prepared for more time and more questions.

Thank you! I regret not having the chance to properly describe how passionate I would be about working for the Disney Corporation but I'm hoping I'm just over thinking things and maybe I came off better than I think I did. Or perhaps they will take pity on me.
