Yawn, yawn, yawn. This place needs a serious redo. Quite
frankly forget about the redo; the space could be put to better use. And par-

Like all things Disney, admission to Disney-Quest is not cheap. A one-day ad-
mission is $48 for adults and $42 for kids ages 3-9 (prices include tax). Children un-
der age 10 must be accompanied by a responsible person 16 years and older. Kids
under the age of 3 are admitted free of charge, but strollers are not permitted inside
DisneyQuest (you can leave them at the coat check on the first floor). You can leave
and re-enter anytime you want on the day of your visit: Just make sure your wrist gets
stamped upon arrival. Premium Annual Passes include admission to DisneyQuest.
Believe it or not, there are height restrictions at DisneyQuest, and here is the
countdown: Cyberspace Mountain: 51 inches; Pirates of the Caribbean—Battle for
Buccaneer Gold: 35 inches; and Buzz Light-year's Astro Blasters: 51 inches.
No need to leave DisneyQuest when hunger strikes.

the obligatory gift shop.

enade. Disney Springs will be completed in phases, opening little by little over the
next years. The part of the former Pleasure Island situated near the lagoon will be-
