22 August 2008: Disney?s Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure officially announced

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Epcot guests at Walt Disney World Resort will be treated to a brand new, highly interactive attraction inspired by Disney Channel?s Emmy Award-winning animated series, Disney?s Kim Possible. The new experience is slated to premiere in late 2008.

Using the latest technology, Disney?s Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure invites guests of all ages to become secret agents, teaming up with members of Team Possible to save the world from various comical villains and their mad inventions.

As guests embark on this international adventure, they will receive an official ?Kimmunicator,? at kiosks throughout Epcot. The interactive, handheld device is designed to help them maneuver through the mission. Using state-of-the-art technology, the interactive device connects guests with a variety of Kim Possible characters who provide clues to stop villains from taking over the world. The highly interactive devices also allow guests to control top-secret equipment hidden inside the World Showcase pavilions, creating an ultra-interactive adventure jam-packed with mystery and excitement.

Guests can play Disney?s Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure in seven of the World Showcase pavilions: Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Japan, France and United Kingdom. Each pavilion features a unique mission including distinctive visual events and a different super villain from the animated series.

"Disney?s Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure is an example of a next generation attraction that offers fun and excitement for the entire family," said Jim MacPhee, Epcot vice president. "We are constantly exploring new ways to provide immersive experiences to Epcot guests, and this new offering will add to our dynamic portfolio."

?Today?s emerging generation expects more immersive, personal and interactive experiences in every facet of their lives, including their entertainment choices,? added Bruce Vaughn, chief creative executive of Walt Disney Imagineering. ?As leaders in family entertainment, Disney theme parks push the envelope by combining state-of-the-art technology with creative storytelling to enhance the overall Disney vacation experience.?

Epcot is a place of innovation, imagination, human achievement and endless possibilities. The park encompasses two ?lands? of discovery: Future World, a showcase of new ideas and technology, and World Showcase, a kaleidoscope of nations celebrating cultural heritage, arts and entertainment. For more information, guests may call 407/824-4321 or visit disneyworld.com.

Disney?s Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure will open at Walt Disney World Resort during ?The Year of a Million Dreams? celebration.

A worldwide hit for kids and families, Disney's "Kim Possible" is an Emmy Award-winning animated series from creators/executive producers Bob Schooley and Mark McCorkle and Walt Disney Television Animation. It tells the story of an average high school cheerleader, Kim Possible, who, in her spare time, happens to save the world from super villains. With the aid of her enthusiastic pals, this contemporary heroine is capable in ways few high school students ever imagine. On the flipside, she realizes that defeating the bad guys comes easier than coping with the typical teen pressures of schooling and socializing. Viewers' connection to "Kim Possible" led to a successful off-TV franchise for The Walt Disney Company including Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable characters at Disney Parks & Resorts, DVDs, books, video games and Disney Consumer Product's line of "Kim Possible" branded products available at mass retailers nationwide.

Thanks Jeany that was really interesting- can't say Kim possible is one of my faves but I am sure it will be popular with the younger set!

[sue299]

[CarolinaTilt]

[MickeyEars]

We love Kim possible, can't wait to try this out...hope it's available to play in early December.

It sounds neat for the kids...I just hope Disney has somehow figuired a way to keep kids from running around wildly unsupervised in an effort to complete their "mission". It just brings to mind the mad scramble anytime anyone organizes a treasure hunt.

I know I sound like an old f*rt but I know how some (not all) parents like to cut the kids loose when they really shouldn't.

[chastmastr]

Kids? Oh, right! I'm very happy it says guests of all ages -- Cubby and I will be scooting around doing this for SURE!! We Kim Possible and this sounds like loads of fun!!
