Epcot with kids/weather question

[MBIJ]

We're heading down Feb. 28- March 4. Two quick questions.
1) What is the weather really like? Swimming, 60's 70's 80's?

2) We have 5 y.o. boys and a 2 y.o.girl. Are there any MUST sees in epcot? They are more interested in MK, MGM and AK, and I'm not sure if I'm missing something if we really don't spend much time in Epcot, except to see Illuminations.

Just wondering...

I think there is a lot to see at Epcot. My 6 and 8 year old loved it. With the ages of your children they will probably like Journey into your imagination, and maybe your boys would like honey I Shrunk The Audience. The Living Seas is a must do and all 3 kids will love turtle Talk with Crush so don't miss that. Your boys might also enjoy test Track. That was my sons fave when he was 4 and we went on it again a couple of weeks ago with my six year old and he loved it. There are also lots of neat things to see in innoventions. True it probably won't be a whole day park for you, but there are some things there worth seeing.

As far as the weather, that was pretty much the weather when we were there 1/21-28. Some days got as high as low 70's but mostly in the high 60's, and low 50's at night. Never got near to 80's but of course it will be warmer when you are there. My son did swim one day when it was about 72. He had a great tme and said the water was warm. Other than that we all wore jeans and pants with tees and sweatshirts during the day, and added light jackets at night.

and don't forget Spaceship Earth! My kids still say one of their favorite things in the World is "the big golf ball"

Please don't miss EPCOT!! My kids love it and have since they were little. They are DS7 & DD12 now.

They absolutely LOVE making the masks when going around to each country. These are great for Show and Tell at school or hanging on the wall in room. Also, they LOVE getting signatures from someone in each country. They will usually write the kids name in that language in the book with a message. The kids love the rides in Mexico and especially Norway. Doing a "dinner around the world" is fun too. Try the school bread in Norway. Its a great treat!

Try the different drinks in Ice Station cool. Its free and it's fun!
Imagination Station is fun for that age group.

If the Land wasn't closed- Making cookies at the Nestle Toll House cookie place is fun.

Spaceship earth is a highlight and my son adores Test Track. Has since he was tall enough to ride!

I second the Crush attraction at Living Seas..........VERY COOL!!

There is so much to do, even it watching the fountains go in time to the music! We love EPCOT!

Getting the 5 yo's World Showcase Passports would be awesome. My son used to loved doing that. He loved Epcot at 5. Esp. the Dinosaurs in Universe of Energy....
Ditto on all the other great things listed above.

My dd's love Epcot they are 5 & 7 now but we've been going for years, multiple times a year so they have been to DW alot. Our last trip they complained we didn't get to Epcot enough, so I promised we would spend more time there this trip.

But, my nephew was 5 when he came with us. Epcot was our first park because we stayed at the Dolphin. The first ride we brought him on was Universe of energy, scared to death of the dinosaurs, but dealt with it. After a few other things we did Honey we shrunk the audience. OMG he got very upset my brother took him out. So maybe just explain what is going to happen in the rides.

Anyway my girls love universe of energy, and the "golf ball" ride. They also love the aquarium. They love visiting the countries making masks at kidscot stations. They also love Mexico the boat ride and all the musical instruments. They love Norway Boatride (also scared the heck out of nephew) and climbing on the troll on the way out. Also liked little side shows and character meetings. Like Aladin and Jasmine in a back store in Morroco, Belle and the Beast in a courtyard in France, Mulan in China, etc.
