The article is called "At 50, Disneyland Boots Up Its Quest for the Fountain of Youth" Link to the article here (http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-disney1may01,0,4025290.story?coll=la-home-headlines)

works today but the LA Times articles usually only link for a limited time (30 days maybe?) and then you have to buy a subscription to read.

A snippet from the article reads "Over the next several months, Disneyland is set to unveil a new crop of interactive attractions designed specifically to hook tech-savvy youngsters raised on computer games, digital effects and MP3 players."

I'll say this, if my 10 year old had his way he'd have a subscription to the online game ToonTown. I don't see any redeeming value in the game but my son loves it (and of course I'm the parent so what do I know? :D )

It will be interesting to see what they are rolling out in the months to come, won't it?

Shhh! Don't tell anyone about virtual MK. I'm hoping to get in as a Beta tester but I know my secret is safe here (and on the front page of the LA Times.) :D

VMK is going to be so fun to explore. Will it be for every Disney park or just every Disney Magic Kingdom style park?
