Along with an arcade full of video games, Mr. Litwak had several video games on his office computer. Some of them were small ones that he liked to play between working on business, but many of them were ones that his nephew would play whenever he came over. It was very rare that any of the characters in the arcade would actually take the train from Game Central Station to Computer Central Station since the trip was long and most of the games on the computer were either incredibly simplistic, such as Solitaire, while others were too dangerous and could get someone killed, such as Team Fortress 2. But there was one game that Litwak's nephew downloaded that caught the attention of several characters in the arcade: Virtual Disneyland. The idea of a digital version of Disneyland sounded like a great deal of fun. Rumor had it that it was nearly identical to the actual park, with realistic NPC employees, accurate depictions of every ride, and gifts shops where characters could bring merchandise back to their own game. Everyone in the arcade was abuzz about this new game.
During the summer, Mr. Litwak would always take a week off and go on vacation, his one week off during the entire season. He closed the arcade during this time as he'd never been able to get someone to fill in for him while he was away. Though the kids were saddened by this, the video game characters were ecstatic. It gave them the opportunity to visit each other as much as possible without needing to return home by a certain time of day. This year, with Virtual Disneyland on the computer, many characters were looking even more forward to the break.
As Litwak locked up his arcade on Sunday night, several characters began packing their bags. Among them were Wreck-It Ralph and Fix-It Felix Jr. of Fix-It Felix Jr., Sgt. Tamora Calhoun of Hero's Duty, and Queen Elsa, Princess Anna, and Kristoff of Frozen. The six of them gathered additional clothing, Anna and Elsa packed some make-up, Calhoun brought along a digital camera, and Felix brought along his container of tools including his trusty golden hammer. In Game Central Station, the six met up. Ralph and Elsa kissed each other, as did Felix and Calhoun. They then went to the far end of the station, to the train to Computer Central Station.
Once at Computer Central Station, the six friends checked in at the Excel Hotel. The desk clerk told them the price, which the ladies all paid for. He then handed each of them a key to their room. Their rooms were all next to each other, something all of them were happy about.
Inside their room, Ralph pushed one of the beds closer to the other, effectively making one larger bed for the two of them to sleep together upon. He and Elsa then unpacked their clothes and put them into the closet. In Felix and Calhoun's room, Felix was also working on putting clothes up in the closet. Calhoun, on the other hand, was stocking the fridge with ration kits in case she got hungry and wanted a snack. Similarly, Kristoff was busy stocking his and Anna's fridge with carrots. Anna was busy watching TV while Kristoff was doing so. Once the couples had finished setting up their rooms, they all met up and headed to the digital park.
"It's so beautiful, isn't it?" Anna asked her friends.
"That's just the sign for the park," Kristoff commented.
"I know that," she replied, "But can't it be beautiful?" The six of them walked underneath the sign, through the bushes, and alongside the loops for the buses and trams.
"Gotta give 'em credit," Calhoun commented, "The developers sure put a lot of effort into making this game as detailed and, I'd assume, as accurate to the actual park as possible."
Much like at the real park, the six of them went through the security tents. None of them had any bags on them, so they went through the line quickly. Unfortunately for Ralph, one security guard walked up to him.
"Excuse me, sir," the guard said, "we just need you to do a random security check."
"Even when I'm not at Game Central Station, I still have to be checked by security," Ralph commented, "I'm beginning to suspect there may be a conspiracy…" He walked over to the security line and walked through the scanner.
"You're good to go, sir," the guard said, "Have a fun day."
"Thanks," Ralph replied. He joined back up with his group. They walked past the ticket booths and saw the virtual entrances to both Disneyland and California Adventure.
"It's so beautiful, isn't it?" Anna asked her friends.
"You said the same thing about the sign," Kristoff commented.
"But the entrance is even more beautiful," Anna smiled, "because it means we're even closer to entering the park!"
As the group went up to the entrance, the Cast Member NPC stopped them. "Sorry, folks," she said, "You'll have to change your outfits."
"What? Why?" Felix asked.
"Disneyland policy states that any guests over the age of 14 may not be permitted to be dressed like Disney characters within the park."
"But we are Disney characters!" Felix pointed out.
"Sorry, sir. Rules are rules."
The six of them walked back to the hotel. "Jimminy-jamminy…" Felix commented, "You can't be dressed as yourself in this park." He looked at his clothing. "It's going to feel weird not having my regular clothes on."
"At least we all packed extra clothes," Ralph commented, "That was good thinking, by the way, Kristoff."
"Always good to be prepared, Ralph," Kristoff replied.
