Epcot must do'so with 4 year old

[SwanVT2]

So far I have Soarin, new Frozen ride (this will be February 2017), Turtle Talk, Finding Nemo and Living Seas, Test Track. What else am I missing? hope to do some Princess meet and greets in the countries and lunch at Akershus. we plan on 2 to 3 days at Epcot. Staying at BWV and Epcot is my husband's favorite park.

My DDs were 5 the last time they went. In addition to the above they enjoyed The Land boatride and Journey to Imagination. (Not sure if either is still there.)

They participated in creating a mask in World Showcase which was then stamped at each country. Before our trip, I made a little card for each country which listed how to say "Hello," "Thank you," and "Good-bye" in each country's language. Sometimes the cast members would write down the girls' names in their home language on their cards.

We also munched around the world by trying one food from each country. (Tacos in Mexico, School Bread in Norway, Fish and Chips in UK Etc.) In the gift shops we looked for one candy and one postcard or other such item from each country.

Get a passport and have it stamped at all the countries. Also do the kidcot craft at the countries. See the shows.

Agree with the Land. We were just there and also enjoyed the Pixar short films in 4D at the Imagination Pavilion. The 3 Caballeros ride in Mexico is good for a 4 year old. In the World Showcase, kids can now make a Duffy Bear instead of a mask at the Kidcot stations.

My DD is 7 but she really enjoyed Journey into the imagination with Figment, and the Land.

Add The Land, the boat ride in Mexico, and Imagination with Figment - little ones love that ride. If they are tall enough - 4 is not too young for Test Track. They also like watching the juggler/mime guy in Italy. Depending on their attention span - the Pixar shorts are kid friendly if they can sit still that long.

I don't terribly recommend the American history show in America for that age. It's a bit boring for them - BUT it is a nice break in a temp controlled theater.

The Kidcot thing of coloring Duffy and getting the stamp in each country definitely lets one person watch the kid while the other one can wander the shops some.

Kids also like riding the ferry boat that goes across the lake (assuming it's functioning). Or - and don't forget Spaceship Earth! And I like visiting whatever character is off to the right as you enter. Last time I was there is was PLuto. Alot of folks "miss" seeing that meet n greet and the line is usually short.

Basically - while I'm not sure about Mission Space - a 4 year old can do everything in EPCOT. The hard part is keeping that age entertained enough in the countries to keep going. So - we plan snacks around the world and the Kidcot thing helps.

My 4 year old loved Spaceship Earth.

Totally agree with the Land and Mexico. We also liked the Character Spot b/c it was multiple characters for just one line (Mickey, Minnie and Goofy meet there now.)

All of the above plus the hedge maze in the UK and train village in Germany.

The leaping fountains outside of Imagination Pavilion!! It's so much fun to watch them "jump" from one pad to the next.

There's also a miniature train lay out in Germany that my boys loved.

We were there last week with our 4 year old. She loved meeting Baymax and Joy and Sadness. She also liked Crush, but thought Nemo was lame. She did enjoy Spaceship Earth, and, sadly, we did not make it to Figment or Living With the Land. In the WS, she loved meeting princesses and getting her Duffy signed in each country. She also loved the ride in Mexico, as she was a HUGE Small World fan.
