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 to the same folder as the original version will overwrite it, meaning that if a user wishes to downgrade back to the original version, then the Second Edition would have 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. It's also possible to have both versions installed on the same machine if they're installed on separate directories.
- Despite the low resolution, the application runs well on modern systems without needing to change compatibility settings.
- AVI videos may not play within the application; see AVI videos not available below for a fix.
- 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).

Notes

AVI videos not available
- When playing AVI videos from within the application on a modern computer, the application will only play the audio and show a white box with black diagonal lines and a message that says, "Video not available, cannot find 'vids:IV32' decompressor."
Install Indeo32 codec[citation needed] |
