Imagine a fantasy world featuring cutting-edge virtual reality technology and classic Disney imagination. Imagination meets reality at DisneyQuest — a five-story, indoor interactive theme park that combines Disney's magic with state-of-the-art immersive technologies at Disney World.

The thrills and adventures of DisneyQuest are delivered in an awe-inspiring 100,000-square-foot purple and aquamarine building, within the exciting Downtown Disney West Side entertainment district.

Guests entering DisneyQuest begin their journey at the Ventureport, a crossroads that leads to four distinct entertainment environments: the Explore Zone, a virtual adventureland where guests are immersed in some of their favorite Disney stories; the Score Zone, a super hero competition city where guests can match their game playing skills against the best; the Create Zone, a private "Imagineering" studio for artistic self-expression and invention; and the Replay Zone, a carnival on the moon where guests experience a retro-futuristic spin on classic rides and games.

Some of the most entertaining mix of adventures to be enjoyed by the entire family at DisneyQuest include:

  • Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for Buccaneer Gold takes a crew of four into a 3-D world of plundered towns, fortress islands and erupting volcanoes for an action-packed, five-minutes of fun.
  • Song Maker puts guests who want to explore their vocal talent right inside a "studio" where they can combine lyrics and music styles to create their one-of-a-kind song.
  • Virtual Jungle Cruise allows guests to climb aboard a real river raft, grab a paddle and shoot the rapids.
  • Cyber Space Mountain is a design-it-yourself virtual roller coaster that can be as tame or as wild as your imagination, with loops, turns and dips delivered by a high-tech motion simulator.
  • Mighty Ducks Pinball Slam lets guests become a human pinball game.
  • Aladdin's Magic Carpet Ride takes guests on a journey in the sky through the streets of Agrabah.
