We went here one late afternoon because I heard you could pay for a few rides. Well, yes, you can, but it is $10 a ride. The day pass is $49.95, so it didn't make sense to pay for a few rides when after five rides, for the same price they could ride all day. So it looked so cool and the place was not that busy, so we came back the next day when we had more time. Also, make sure to check out the Old Town website because it has information about Old Town. If you go to the Old Town General Store they will give you sheets of coupons with discounts for all of the stores in Old Town, and $5 off the Fun Spot all day pass. So, we used our military discount for $5 off the entire day pass. My husband did not get a pass, but got a free yellow wristband to ride with our smallest child on the go carts. Overall, after two packed days at the Disney parks, this was a wonderful break! There were really no or very short lines for rides. We rode everything over and over. There were plenty of different rides for all ages, and don't forget on the other side of Old Town there are four more great rides (carousel, tilt whirl, crazy couch, and parasol rides) as well as the large Ferris Wheel in front. The game room was great as well. The concessions were all reasonable, easily available, and scattered throughout the park. Parking was easy and we were maybe 30 feet from the entrance. Basically, we just thought we would try this out, and boy was I impressed. It was so carefree yet so fun, I think my kids enjoyed this park more than Disney just because we weren't fighting crowds and enduring long waits. AND, all of the staff here were very professional, kind, and engaging. They clapped for you at the end of every ride. Guessing we did 75-100 rides while there for four hours. If you want a change of pace that will make your kids happy and be easy for you as a parent, this is your place. And you can stroll through Old Town and see a variety of fun shops, food places and outdoor bars. Your kids will love it, and so will you. If you buy something, your car is so close you can just go stick it in your trunk. Just was a great way to spend our last day in Florida!

This was probably my favorite ride in all of WDW. Located in Hollywood Studios with the entrance inside the replica of Gromann's Theatre, even the line has great atmosphere. Located close to the entrance gates, we found this ride did not close until the park does, and that lines were very short in the last 30 to 60 minutes. The ride itself is great for several reasons. It is entirely inside and so is unaffected by weather. It is also brand new, and it looks it. The ride has amazing artistry; a lot of times, our family was unable to figure out how how certain things were appearing. There seemed to be combinations of physical objects, spotlights, and projectors, that created the appearance of 3d objects. Bright and cheerful, this is a great ride. Without any drops or extreme jerks, this ride is fine for toddlers and most elderly as well as everyone else.
