DisneyQuest
DisneyQuest is an indoor theme park at Downtown Disney's West Side. Spread over 5 floors, it features a host of virtual reality attractions. The building is around 100,000 sq. ft and includes two restaurants. On level 4 you have the Wonderland Cafe, featuring deserts, snacks, adult beverages and ice creams. On level 5 there is Food Quest, which offers a selection of pizzas, pastas, sandwiches, burgers, salads, hot dogs, wraps and snacks.
DisneyQuest is considered to be a nice place to go to get out of the rain. Unfortunately this means that it can get very busy, and because the capacity of each attraction is fairly low, wait times tend to get fairly long.
There are a lot of mixed reviews about DisneyQuest. Many feel it needs a major update as its not seen many significant changes since it opened in 1998. It tends to get rather warm, busy and loud at peek times, so it may not be for everyone.
