The good thing is that you don't have to commit a huge chunk of time for it. Each adventure is based in one country, and you only do one country/adventure at a time, and you can do as many or as few adventures as you'd like. So at the most, even if you are slow and deliberate with it, it shouldn't take much more than a half hour. I think we finished France in about 20 minutes.
We were glad to be able to participate in it while it was still in soft opening.
You guys did it! So cool! Where do you get the stuff, what do you do in each country, is it just for kids....???
Just for kids? Of course not! Walt Disney World is for grown-ups!
Seriously, I think it's designed with kids in mind, but certain adults; especially Disney dorks like us, can really appreciate it.
There are kiosks set up throughout Epcot to get the Kimmunicators. We got ours near the International Gateway. We also saw one near Mousegear in FutureWorld.
Without giving too much away, I'll give a brief description. When we did it, they were giving the Kimmunicators right away, but by the end of our stay, they were giving out tickets that looked like FastPasses which told you where and when to report for your mission. You wold go there and get the Kimmunicator at that point. The Kimmunicator is a basic Verizon LG cel phone that has been tricked out.
You basically just push the OK button on the phone and it gives you your instructions. Tells you where to go and what to do. It's kind of fun finding specific places in the WS pavillions. And once you get there, you're able to make certain things happen and move via the Kimmunicator.
We did United Kingdom and France, but by the time our stay had ended they had Japan, Germany and China up and running too.
I recommend it. It's fun, and doesn't take a whole lot of time.
