Epcot World Showcase shows

[Now Mom of 3]

Which of the Epcot World Showcase theater shows are not to be missed. This being our first trip I have never seen any of them. Having a 2.5 year old along may make it impossible to see all of them so I need some help to pick which ones I should for sure see. Also, which ones might be best to try with the little guy along,(Not the stand only ones. My back and arms couldn't take holding him that long) and which to split up and see. Also, do these have any interest for 5 and 9 yr. olds. Thanks so much!

The Epcot World Showcase has a good mix of both theater shows and more impromptu shows, in courtyard, eateries, and mini-amphitheaters. The shows are so varied, that what should not be missed will be very much dependent on your own personal preferences.

Personally, I think The American Experience is the best theater show there, closely followed by Impressions de France. The Canada show is a stand-up 360 degree presentation, which is interesting, but not as good, overall, IMHO, as the other two. Among the other shows, I like Off Kilter and the British Invasion best, but also find some of the acrobatic shows good as well.

Definately see the British invasion (who are a Beatles tribute band). They play in what appears to be Hyde Park. After I saw them I then went to have fish and chips at the local pub. Brilliant! Made me proud to be British.

Mexico has a boat ride.

Norway has a boat ride.

China has a film presentation.

America has the American Experience (not to be missed)

France has a nice film with great music.

Canada has a 360 degree film surrounding the room.

Ride the rides and make sure to see France and Canada is my suggestion.

China's isn't bad, but it isn't as good as the other films, in my opinion.
