Pirates of the Caribbean Life and Splash Mountain Sorry are also part of our collection.\u00a0 These games are played the same way as the original versions, but with Disney features, characters, and designs.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Of all the Disney-themed classics, my favorite is Pirates of the Caribbean Life.\u00a0 The characters that players may become are pirates from the first movie.\u00a0 Instead of cars, they choose ships, some more valuable than others.\u00a0 Scattered throughout the game are \u201cRaid\u201d spots on which players may challenge opponents to battles in order to collect booty (a.k.a. money).\u00a0 Also, Life cards say pirate phrases and adventures and usually give Life tiles worth money.<\/p>\n<p>My family has collected a few Disney DVD games, as well.\u00a0 These include four Scene-Its (three Disney\u00a0editions and a Pirates version) and Pirates of the Caribbean DVD Treasure Hunt. \u00a0Thrilling and engaging, these unique games entertain participants.<\/p>\n<p>Among these DVD games, I prefer the second edition of Disney Scene-It.\u00a0 In\u00a0the Scene-It\u00a0games, players roll two dice.\u00a0 The larger square die has six numbers on it, which decides how many spaces the roller moves.\u00a0 The smaller eight-sided die tells players what to do after they move.\u00a0 \u201cAll Play\u201d is a category in which any player can answer the question.\u00a0 \u201cMy Play\u201d is a clip on the DVD with a question at the end that only the roller can answer.\u00a0 Take Three, Songs and Slogans, and Mousellaneous are categories on trivia cards that the roller alone can answer.\u00a0 If the player rolls a question mark, he can choose among any of the categories, whether on the DVD or from the cards.<\/p>\n<p>One game unlike any other is the Magic Kingdom Game.\u00a0 Each participant has five cards, one from each section of Magic Kingdom.\u00a0 To win, players must enter the park, travel to all of the attractions from their cards, and exit the park before any other player does.\u00a0 One of my eight year-old brother\u2019s favorites, this five-player game is one I greatly enjoy too.<\/p>\n<p>My family also owns a few Disney video games for our Nintendo Wii, including Toy Story Midway Mania, Disney Sing-It, and Epic Mickey.\u00a0 Toy Story Midway Mania is based on the attraction at Disney World.\u00a0 Disney Sing-It uses a microphone and the player sings Disney songs.<\/p>\n<p>Challenging and exciting, Epic Mickey is my favorite of the three video games.\u00a0 The story line of this game is about the Sorcerer from \u201cThe Sorcerer\u2019s Apprentice\u201d creating a world for forgotten Disney characters.\u00a0 However, Mickey accidently spills paint thinner on the new world, making evil enemies enter the land.\u00a0 The leader of the adversaries literally pulls in Mickey, who must defeat him to save the people and escape.\u00a0 Some levels are without doubt more exciting than others. \u00a0Incredibly tough, this game challenges even my dad, who has trouble completing some levels.\u00a0 Nevertheless, I highly recommend Epic Mickey to gamers looking for a challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Fun and excellent ways to fill in time between Disney vacations, these delightful games should be added to everyone\u2019s wish list.\u00a0 My family will always enjoy passing the time between our Disney vacations with these entertaining games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever been longing for Disney between your Disney vacations?\u00a0 Playing Disney games makes a great way to pass the time.\u00a0 Throughout the years, Disney board games and video games have been an excellent help in keeping Disney on our minds in the time between our vacations.
