I noticed A LOT more of the "just joining my party"/line jumping on this trip than I have on past trips. And I think Toy Story Mania was where we saw the worst of it. It was pretty maddening, I am glad you spoke to Guest Relations about it.
Thanks Karen. I hope you are planning on a TR; I love to look at reports from the same time period too. I know we missed so much.

Your trip report is great! I lvoe your reporting style and rating system. I may have to steal your "plan of attack" for some of my future trips!

Ah... it's really cool. You stop at a KP kiosk, they swipe your park ticket, and you get a reservation. At that time, you show up at another kiosk and pick up your Kimmunicator which is basically a cell phone.

Characters from KP - particularly Wade - will start making video calls to you telling you what to do. The GPS signal in the phone will activate certain things they've planted around Epcot's World Showcase... maybe a flag will raise or you'll be able to hear a voice... stuff like that. It walks you through a mission to stop one of the KP villians (Drakken, etc...). The puzzles are very simple, but it's a hoot running around World Showcase triggering different events.

One of our missions even had some Cast Member interaction which was pretty funny.

At the end of the mission, you may or may not receive the go-ahead for another mission. The first time that we did it, we had to return the Kimmunicator after 1 mission. The second time, we could have done a third mission but we didn't have time. I'm sure the reservations, mission you are assigned, and how many missions you can do are all being managed by the KP "network."

Here's some information: Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure. There was also a great thread about it here... http://www.mousebuzz.com/forum/wdw-t...adventure.html PrincessJill gave a great report on it.

It was a blast.

Bruce

That sounds so cool! We are not KimPossible fans (only vaguely aware) but it sounds like a blast! I haven't been around MB for a while since our Sept 08 trip, so I guess I missed it! Thanks for the review and links!

We had very similar concerns at TSM and Soarin'. We have always hated how people cut in line at Soarin' to meet their "family" memebers. It didn't happen at TSM this time, but it was because the cms made sure of it, I can't help but wonder if your comments weren't taken to heart!
