Circle of Life/kidcot fun stop - the LAND

[Jenny]

i'm looking to do something w/ my 2 y.o. while others ride Soarin. in the past, i've had her in her stroller outside but i'm thinking that i'd like to bring her inside this time & give her something to do.

is the Circle of Life still running every 20 min. or so? does it start at 9?

i may also consider the kidcot fun stop - is it upstairs or downstairs - is it near Soarin?

which would you do - kidcot or movie?

thanks for any info.

The kidcot station is upstairs outside the Garden Grille, on the same level you come in. We used it to entertain our 3.y.o DD while we alternated on Soarin'. She loved the lion king movie, but don't sit to close, it's big and loud. Also, your daughter might like the Living with the Land ride, ours loved it. We got 2 FP for Soarin and 2 for LwtL with our 4 tickets, and split up. The timing worked out perfect. They do have an elevator to get the stroller downstairs if you need it.

thank you....we're going to do LwtL ride together before eating at the Garden Grille.....i think i'll do the movie since my other DD won't mind missing that. thanks for the tip re: not sitting in front.

can you bring a stroller into the Land pavilion? i thought you had to leave it outside. if i had known that, i would have brought it in a long time ago.

No, you can't bring a stroller into The Land. Not unless it is needed for medical reasons. I can't image the already crowded pavilion with the sea of strollers always parked outside have those strollers inside.

Remember for the Circle of Life film, each side of the staircase when you enter goes to a different half to the seating area. You will want to be on the right hand side of the handrail. That'll go to the upper level. We usually watch this film in the very last row and all the way to the right. That will help if you need to exit during the movie. The seats are very good.

Oh please good heavens no strollers. that elevator takes two at most wheelchairs and it is the only way we can get down to or up from the Land and eating.
the idea of making WC passenger get down there, get a fast pass and have to get out and come back is a nightmare.

thanks for the tips as i may in fact have to leave the movie if the 2 y.o. fusses. i look forward to the day when we don't have to split up due to height restrictions, etc....it's nice to ride/experience things together but right now the 4 y.o. is all about coasters, thrill rides, etc, so we split up sometimes to give her a thrill. thanks again.
