We have been making a Disney trip annually every year since my children were very small. Now that they are bigger (ages 13 and 9) we were thinking that we might want to add Disney Quest to the list. We have never been there and the website really doesn't have a lot of information. Is it worth it or is it crazy crowded (we will be there at a slow time at the end of January)? How long do you usually spend there? Thanks for any help and advice!

Disney Quest...worth it?

IMO, if you're booking a package you will get the Disney Quest ticket for free (back of your brochure when they send it to you closer towards your trip) I would go. It's worth it to go and look at. It's a bit outdated, but also brings back memories for me going to the arcades with my mom and friends. We went for the first time in 2013 and kind of just looked around and didn't spend an hour. It's very large and it wasn't crowded we were just confused and wanted to do some other things.
This passed January we decided to look at the map and physically go to every floor and see what happens. We actually ended up spending 2-3 hours on our last day in Disney here. Some of our funniest moments we joke around once in awhile were in here (specifically cyber Space Mountain)
Your kids may or may not get a kick out of it. If they like arcades, video games etc sure they might love it as they do have some newer and updated games there. Worth the shot if it comes in your package..and if not, IMO not so much.

If you get tickets or a package with the water park/Quest/extras included it’s worth a stop in. If you’re spending an entire day at DTD it’s a nice break for a few hours. However if you’re buying a standalone ticket for it . . . I’d skip it. It’s fun but not worth $40-45

As others have said, if you don't have to buy the pass it is worth checking out. It is funny seeing kids look at the original video games and looking at us like our childhoods were horrible. The things they will never realize and the same things our parents told us. I always thought my dad lied saying he got a broom stick and ball as a present. That is all they had to play with. Times change so much and ignorance of youth just can't comprehend.

We used to go to Disney every year and bought 10 day hoppers with no expiration and water parks and more fun. The extra add ons were inexpensive at the time, and we have enjoyed both the the water parks and Disney Quest. I think we still have a few visits left. Unfortunately, Disney has made the no expiration option VERY expensive. If you got tickets with the add-ons or get a Disney package, perhaps it is worth it. It is definitely NOT worth it to spend $50 per ticket to go. It's a bit outdated, but we had fun. The kids loved making their own roller coasters, but I think they have that at Innoventions now in Epcot. I liked the magic carpet ride and the ship. Whatever you decide, have a magical vacation!

In a word no.
If Disney Quest was free, I would find something else to do and this is coming from a person that loves video games.
Your average Wii (the old one and not the new Wii U) has more graphical power than the headliner games at DQ.
I have yet to see a time where the classic arcade games are in actual working order. Screens have dropped colors, buttons do not work, dead joysticks, etc.
To sum up, Dave and Busters is to DQ as DL is to a roadside carnival.

No, don't go to DQ- we tried it and thought the games were old and tired. Some of the more unique/modern things were still not very good. The best part and IMO the only reason to check it out is CyberSpace Mountain but I guess that is similar to Sum of all Thrills at Epcot? Haven't done SoaT so I'm not exactly sure, but that was the impression I got. We went because we had some water park and more visits to use up. Not impressed!

It could be fun and worth an hour or two if it's free. We're two 20 year olds and we loved Buzz Lightyear's Astroblasters...which is like a hybrid of shooting and bumper cars. I can also see how you could equate DisneyQuest to your children playing games at home...and that while on family vacation, there are plenty of other things to be doing at Disney World.

You are correct. While they are different and I would put Cyber SM just a notch above SOAT, it is in no way worth the price of admission to DQ.
