In an interview with TravelWeekly.com recently, Disney Parks chairman Tom Staggs was asked…
Q: A number of the park rides are based on movies. How about the Disney Channel shows?
To which he responded…
A: We have an interactive experience based around Kim Possible in Epcot and will be converting it to one developed around Phineas and Ferb. It’s possible that we could see other attractions that are hard assets, but we do think about what their life cycle will be.
So, it is official: the Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure is to become history after just 3 years and replaced with a Phineas and Ferb experience that is rumored to have guests join Perry the Platypus (Agent P) in a mission to defeat the evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz (cue Evil Inc. jingle).
No further details are available at this time, but stay tuned to WDWNT as more information becomes available.
UPDATE: Disney has since confirmed our report with official information
Greetings from Epcot!
All the would-be secret agents out there will find a great new interactive experience at Epcot this year.
Coming this summer, Disney Phineas & Ferb: Agent P’s World Showcase Adventure is based on the wily secret-agent alter-ego of Perry the Platypus – faithful pet to the title characters from Disney’s animated series “Phineas & Ferb.” Although just a simple pet to Phineas and Ferb, Perry turns into Agent P in each episode to help stop the misguided plans of his nemesis, Dr. Doofenshmirtz.
Epcot guests will transform into secret agents to help Agent P thwart some of Dr. Doofenshmirtz’s most daring plots. Agents will use a “high-tech secret agent device” to receive clues for each case. Solving the clues will take agents to different places throughout seven World Showcase countries at Epcot – Mexico Pavilion, France Pavilion, Germany Pavilion, Norway Pavilion, Japan Pavilion, China Pavilion and the United Kingdom Pavilion. Agents will scour each country for clues, evil “Inators,” and – with a little bit of luck – help Agent P defeat Dr. Doofenshmirtz.
Everyone ready to don their fedoras and help Agent P? I can’t wait!
Disney Phineas & Ferb: Agent P’s World Showcase Adventure will arrive at Epcot and the current Disney Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure will close in summer.
Phineas and Ferb are wildly popular with the kids, their tie in will undoubtly increase childrens enjoyment of the world showcase. That said i'll miss Kim Possible.
I agree. I just gave my girls the 'bad news, good news'. They already miss Kim Possible, but are really pumped about the new adventures to come. I'm assuming the evil Doofenshmirtz will be armed with a 'Mickey-Mouse-inator'…lol
This makes sense. Kim Possible ended its run YEARS ago.
