I played a couple of times, it lasted for 3 hours, I was tired of constant tasks like bring it, serve it, when I entered the portal it was interesting to go through the levels, but in the park itself it became boring, you literally had to run around with your arms outstretched and look for items for the npc, well I don't think it's very good.
they put sonic in this shit bruh I'm dead
fuck you michael mouse
Fantastic game based off my favorite amusement park in the world. Played at my brother's apartment and loved it ever since. I also got a physical copy when I got my Xbox One X and I loved it just as much. I totally recommend if you have a Xbox 360 or a Xbox One
Terrible. No Marvel or Star Wars.
Why?
Why would you want to play an open-world Kinect game?
Why would you want to play a game about going to Disneyland, when it's really not much different of an experience from watching POVs online?

What a weird thing.
I love Disneyland! It's pleasant to wander around a digital version of the park, but the Kinect-based minigames are still just Kinect-based minigames. Got really boring really quickly despite a setting that I truly enjoy.
It did make me want to actually go to Disneyland though, which was likely the game's goal in the first place.

My 4yo daughter plays this, although not much compared to Minecraft, FH5, Animal Crossing or Pokemon.
The controls involve a literal RB selection wheel to pull out a camera or magic wand - what 4yo can manage that?
Anyway, there are Disney things going on, but it is all quite a mixed bag if you ask me.

Im so torn with this game. As a traditional videogame it falls flat on its face, the 'ride' minigames are clunky, awkward and go on for way too long and the rest of the game is 1001 fetch quests where you grab a shitton of collectables, photos and more. Its a laundry list of slog.
HOWEVER.... As a weird Disney-Park experience, its actually rather charming in its portrayal of the locations, characters and theming. It can actually be rather relaxing to just run about for a little bit, shooting off wand sparks to cause coins to rain everwhere at random, hugging disney characters and finding little bits here and there as you go. Its just really easy-going and cute in its care-free nature. Sure you'll probably not stick with it for a long time, but hopping on/off at random? Sure.
If you're somebody who likes a more casual carefree gaming experience and you're not bothered by completion, you'll find a lot of fun (albeit limited fun) here. If you're somebody who likes to clean games out? Oof.... Honey? You've got a storm coming.

A pretty fine replacement of not being able to fly out to Anaheim. The minigames are mostly there to simulate the rides rather than making a fun video game, and this goes for most of the whole thing. Thank god I could play this with a controller though, can't imagine what the fuck I would do if I had to control it with my body. Shoutout for Asobo for handling that.
game doesn't include a virtual michael eisner that you can kick in the balls for choosing to get rid of beastly kingdom so therefore it fucking sucks
Does a good job simulating the park, to the point where I recognized certain music cues for areas. Sadly the minigame variety is lacking as most are on rails collectathons, but you get a good variety of stuff in here. Play this if you have kids or are a massive Disney fan, otherwise pass on it.
no please don't mickey please i have a family
This is a great representation of Disneyland and a fun way to "visit" the park without travel. I would recomend this for kids as I found the mini-games fun and I am a huge fan of collectable games. There is plenty of things to do and a lot of characters, including ones that you can't see at the park anymore like the cast of Splash Mountain.
I started this for a Game Pass Challenge and ended up liking it enough to finish. I wouldn't play it again but would easily suggest this for a younger player if someone asked for my recomendation.

This was the exact sort of title I would've sunk countless hours into as a kid, but I didn't have an Xbox nor a Kinect so I never really had the chance to experience it until I got a gaming laptop years later. It's a somewhat bizarre experience to play this with traditional controls because everything is clearly so tailored for the Kinect, but at the same time not having to use motion controls for everything makes the game much more enjoyable in its best moments of just exploring the park.
The most impressive part about Disneyland Adventures is the faithfully recreated Disneyland park. Huge Disney park fans will certainly enjoy getting to run around here and seeing all of the attention to detail to make sure every pathway and landmark is accurately featured. I had fun just running around looking for collectibles, though the game quickly becomes tedious with all of the slow-paced character interactions. Your goal is to essentially get as many classic Disney characters' autographs as possible and the interactions with them can be fun, but when you've talked to enough of them you really just want the game to cut to the chase.
Unfortunately, the attraction minigames are a low point for the title, compared to just walking around the hub world. These were designed for Kinect movement and I'm sure they could prove frustrating there, but without the motion controls they come off as dry and unexciting. The minigames feel like more of a means to an end and none of them really excited me.
If you'd just like to walk around a virtual Disneyland for a bit, this title will definitely get the job done and it is fun to check out for a bit on GamePass where I played it. Of course, anybody looking for any kind of mechanical depth will walk away very disappointed with the title.

This shit stinks so hard…
I only got this for some kinect closure. The novelty wears off after a while and they had a hard time translating some of these from motion to an actual controller
(5-year-old's review, typed by her dad)
3 because you just get to run around and then there's the Peter one. And there's only a Peter Pan one. It only has four levels, but that's the only level that's there! And that's why I did 3 stars because it's not that good. DONE.
[Dad's note: She only played the demo.]

Oh my god...this game is such a boring mess.
HOWEVER, the idea that they rebuilt a digital version of the park is very cool. I have not been to Disneyland personally, but it seems like it would be extremely close to the real location. This was actually pretty cool and I had more fun just walking around and exploring the park than doing any missions or minigames

they did the haunted mansion dirty
I get that this was free on Xbox Game Pass but jesus christ I can't believe I thought downloading this was a good idea
I would have so much fun playing this as a kid but this game sucks. This is a good game to play when there's a pandemic.
When Disneyland Adventures originally released on the Kinect for the Xbox 360 back in 2011, I had little urge to play it. First off, it was on the Kinect. Secondly, it seemed like a baby game that wouldn’t be any fun whatsoever.
Now it’s 2019. I have had two kids and this game was remastered for Windows and the Xbox One. Seeing it as an option on Game Pass, I shrugged my shoulders and installed it. Not so much for me, but mainly my little one who is three years old and loves Mickey Mouse.

He loves it. There’s not much to it, but he loves it. Mainly what you do is run around a re-creation of Disneyland helping the Disney characters with missions. Ariel needs some dinglehoppers. Alice needs her ribbon. Donald Duck lost his hat. Some are easily found in the park, others are done with the simple mini-games; but it’s all done with children in mind. And it works just fine in that regard.
The mini-games are pretty basic from what I have seen and are what one would expect from a website from a beloved cartoon station. An example would be shooting fireworks in the sky or sledding down a mountain collecting coins. The games themselves are overly long and not a ton of fun for an adult, but for the audience it shoots for, does the job.

The coins earned in the mini-games can also be found in the park itself. They are easy to spot as they bounce in place and not difficult to get, and can be spent in stores to purchase new clothes for your custom avatar, photo books or even autograph books. Those last two items are important as they give the player more to do in the park itself.
For instance, in each section of the park, there will be signs used for photos. The only way to take pictures here is to purchase a photo book from a shop in that section. Similarly, the autograph books allow an interaction with the Disney characters in the park to sign. But there are multiple photo books to purchase, so to get Cinderella to sign, you will need a princess autograph book. If you want Captain Hook, buy a villain one.

The characters were where my little one was the most attentive. Each character has four interactions with the player all of which are voiced. They each have a high five of sorts, they can dance, sign the appropriate photo book, and even hug. The hugs are adorable by the way. Outside of that, you can also have your avatar take a photo with the character as well and do a special pose.
Seeing my son enjoy Disneyland Adventures made it worth it. Watching him try to pose during the pictures was cute and he would hug me when the characters would hug each other. During pictures you can make your avatar wave and he would do the same. If you have a child who loves Disney, and they are on the younger side, this might be something worth trying with them.
