Once we got off the elevator, we decided to bypass the main room photo op and the crowded the Fix It Felix Jr. We were sent up the elevator to the 3rd floor. In the lobby, we were given a hero medal which is prominently featured in the film and a temporary Ralph tattoo. After signing some waivers and getting our wristbands we were allowed into Disney Quest. We arrived at Downtown Disney around 8:15 in the morning and got in line at Disney Quest.

When the Wreck-It Family Game Day meet up was announced, I remembered my wife, daughter, and I had already planned a weekend at the Art of Animation Resort to check out the new Little Mermaid rooms, and naturally this meet-up sounded like a great family activity on a Saturday morning. I figured that if I had some time on my December cruise, then I may check it out. I grew up playing Super Mario Bros and Contra, and still enjoy playing video games like Epic Mickey from time to time with my daughter, but I was not all that interested in seeing Wreck-It Ralph.

While Wreck-It-Ralph misses out on being a Tron for the preteen set, the soundtrack still scores high when it comes to playfulness and devotion to its subject matter.A few weeks ago, the Disney Parks Blog announced a Wreck-It Family Game Day meet-up with access to Disney Quest, and a screening of DisneyвЂ™s new film Wreck-It Ralph. Jackman's score mostly follows suit, especially when it incorporates electronic elements as on 'Royal Raceway''s bleepy synth-pop paradise, the brilliantly rudimentary 8-bit doodles of 'Life in the Arcade,' or the relentless beat of 'Rocket Fiasco.' However, Jackman's music also relies heavily on orchestral arrangements that, while perfectly effective and even inspired in some cases ('Vanellope von Schweetz''s playful pauses and dynamics recall the way Looney Tunes used these kind of cues) aren't quite as distinctive as an all- or mostly electronic score would have been. Elsewhere, the J-pop group AKB48 embodies the kawaii feel of many Japanese games with the theme song for the candy-based racing game 'Sugar Rush,' while Skrillex's 'Bug Hunt (Noisia Remix)' delivers a more-than-reasonable facsimile of the tense, aggressive music that soundtracks the first-person shooters of the 21st century. That said, this soundtrack relishes that culture, most notably on 'Wreck-It, Wreck-It-Ralph' by Buckner & Garcia, the duo who had their fingers on the pulse of the early '80s with 'Pac-Man Fever.' While 'Wreck-It, Wreck-It Ralph' isn't quite as charmingly wacky as its predecessor, it still harks back to a time when a hit song could be written about a video game, instead of a game including a hit song on its soundtrack. Wreck-It-Ralph shows that composer Henry Jackman and the other artists featured here did an impressive job of capturing that spirit without getting geeky enough to alienate anyone not steeped in gamer culture.

The team behind Disney's Wreck-It Ralph, the tale of a video game villain who wants to go good, committed to authenticity at every level of the movie, from including Q-Bert and and Clyde (aka the orange ghost from Pac-Man) as minor characters to making sure the film's music conveyed the golden age of arcade games and the feel of the games that followed.
