Ok---here we go. A little background info first-----I personally was not chosen to test this. My boyfriend and I were in the MK, and my bf's relatives (Aunt, Uncle and two young cousins) were meeting us in the MK later on Wednesday morning. On their way in they were chosen to test this (a CM just walked up to them and asked if they would like to participate).
Here is the area in the back of Exposition Hall where you are taken to set up your DS
When you get it, you enter in all names and "general ages" (it asks you if your very young, young, child, teen, adult, etc) This comes in later with the games. As far as we could tell, it seemed to be a cartridge, but if you turned it off and turned it back on, the game just came right up, and didn't go to the normal DS screen where you could choose to play a DS game, Advance game, pictochat, etc. They just tell people to open and shut the lid, not turn it off and on (the DS goes into Hibernate mode, and when you open it, it comes back to where you left it.
Here you can sort of see the grey padding that surrounds the DS
This is the main screen. It is GPS enabled, so it always shows right where you are standing. I don't know why it's not showing in this screen, but there are four buttons from here that you could press, one each on the top and bottom, and one each on left and right.
Each of those buttons brings you someplace different: information, characters, rides, and games.
Information Button brings you to a menu where you can select from a menu of items to locate such as ATM's, bathrooms, lockers, etc.
When you select an item, it brings you back to the main overview screen, and gives you a dotted line from where you are to the closest location of whatever you are looking for. In this case, the closest bathroom from where we were:
If you hit the Mickey shaped button, that brings you to a character menu. Here, it lists all MK characters, and allows you to check off which ones you would like to visit. But as stated before, the info here is incomplete. It just lists every character as always being around, and tells you to seek the nearest CM for details on where to find them
More to come.....
