Definitely time for this. I wonder how frequently these phones need to be replaced? Seems to me they would get broken frequently.

Interesting. So, will they be renting them out like the current ones, or will it be on an app? Or possibly both (for people who don't have a smart phone)?

Why? Unless you are playing, you barely notice that it exists, so it strikes me as a good thing to have around for those that enjoy it.
Yes they will still be providing the devices

I don't quite think you don't notice it. You hear it all over the place, see things moving all around in every pavilion that it exists in. Everywhere you step the sounds of the countries themselves are lost to a sea of voices from Doofenshmirtz to Carl to Major Monogram. It's also one of the only things that has really "intruded" on the World Showcase from what it originally was.
Selfishly I'd rather it go back to being about the countries themselves. I now spend what little time I get in WS running around after my kid looking for the next trigger event, instead of actually taking time to enjoy the pavilion itself for what it is.
Easy to control that one I guess is just say "no" to the kids, but that's where the statement about my kids stoning me came in. They love it.
All things considered, there are 1000 things at Epcot I'd rather see them address first, as you mention, all things considered, this is pretty innocuous.

It wouldn't work as an app because then people could keep activating the effects over and over forever.

Interesting that they're upgrading the system, considering that the TV show seems to be nearing the end of its lifespan. Other than a couple of special crossover episodes, they haven't released anything new in nearly a year. I wonder if they have another series in mind to take over in another year or two. Then again, the Kim Possible version opened a couple years after the show ended, so I guess it's never been all that current
And I agree that the phone noise and effects are somewhat annoying, but they're not nearly as bad as the do-do-do-do 'alarm' from the KP days!

IIRC, they have stopped production of the show, but have new episodes completed they are still airing. New episodes are on Disney XD now, as opposed to the regular Disney Channel

Plus a new Phineas and Ferb Star Wars Crossover about to hit the airwaves. Corporate synergy!

I heard the Norway finale will finally move outside to the rehabbed waterfall where the sword is revealed, also, couldn't the iPhones be more likely to break in the Dropbox or if just dropped

Wow. This show just sort of fell off the face of the earth! It was the hottest thing going, and I even rather enjoyed it when I walked passed and the kids had it on. Dr. Doof literally makes me laugh out loud, which hardly any show (kids or not) does.
Do we know if it's because Disney only lets these shows live for a certain length of time, or is it because people don't like it anymore?
This pretty well tells me that the Imagination pavilion will never be re-themed to a Disney channel cartoon (for better or worse).

Depending on the phone, I would guess they'd have some really nice padding like an Otter Box.

I like the game but also wish they'd have added some new items after it changed from KP. When my granddaughter plays she knows we balance between what she wants to do and what we want to do so it's a win/win for us and not us just running behind her from spot to spot. Personally, I'm glad there is something besides the kid spots to help them pass the time while the adults eat/drink/shop around the world.
All this game does is make somethings move and make sounds. It sounds just like what universal is doing with their magic wands. The difference is universal is charging $40 to $60 for the wands. Maybe Disney should sell wands too. After all Universal couldn't complain since they are copying from Disney on this.

Agent P's World Showcase is updated for new phones and I love it!
