Key points
- Technically, this is an application that was made to promote the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, not a game. It has a few minigames, however.
- Installing the Second Edition will overwrite any installation of the original version, meaning that if a user wishes to downgrade back to the original version, then the Second Edition has to be uninstalled first.
- Although the program handbook for the Second Edition states that the original version must be uninstalled first, users can just run the installer normally without having to uninstall the original version first.
- Despite the low resolution, the application runs well on modern systems without needing to change compatibility settings.
- Application (both the original version and the Second Edition) uses a 16-bit installer, despite the presence of 32-bit InstallShield 3 Engine files on the disc(s). A workaround is available (see Installing on 64-bit versions of Windows).
