There are a few rides that would be OK at Epcot - Maelstrom depending on how frightened you think they may get, El Rio Del Tiempo (Not sure if that's spelled correctly, but it's like It's a Small World), maybe Honey I Shrunk the Audience. Don't miss the Imagination Pavilion, particularly the ride with Figment. Take advantage of the Kidcot stations too - you can get a mask (free) and decorate it at each of the countries in the World showcase. Passports and autograph books might be a good idea, too..

Hope that helped a little.

When my DDs were 2 they liked:

The Living Seas (they could've spent all day in there)
Spaceship Earth
El Rio Del Tiempo
The marketplace in the Mexico pavillion
Jouney into your Imagination
if you are going when it is warm: playing in the fountain (bring a change of clothes for this)
Play area in Mission Space
Believe it or not, my kids loved looking in the shops in the World Showcase.

The great thing about 2-year-olds is that they are so easy to keep entertained (at least mine always were). While my older kids are riding Test Track or Mission Space, my 2-year-old was perfectly happy to just stroll around the park and look at the merchandise in the kiosks, the beautiful gardens, the bunnies or birds that may be in the area. Of course, the old standby was always El Rio Del Tiempo...I think we must've ridden that at least 20 times on our last trip.

We went in May with our DS who was almost 2 at the time. He really liked the aquariums at Living Seas and Turtle Talk with Crush. He liked just seeing the "statues" of Nemo characters outside of the building. He liked any boat rides including Living with the Land and El Rio de Tiempo. He had a hard time with rides that were in the dark for a long time or really loud, esp. Ellen's Energy Adventure which was ridiculously loud. Most of all, he loved watching and riding the monorail!!!

My ds turned two in April. He loves Turtle talk with crush, Journey into imagination (the ride and the things to do in the building after the attraction), Living with the Land attraction, He liked the Dinosaur part of the Universe of Energy but the movie part where Ellen learns of fuel alternatives didn't keep his attention at all. He loves Spaceship earth, but the backwards part startled him the first few times. He loves those fiberoptic lights at night time infront of one of the innoventions. He runs all over them. He enjoys the Mexico ride. He isn't sure about the Maelstrom, he didn't particularly care for going backwards or the hill. He loves the tin toy story display at Japan. He likes to eat at Biergarten in Germany. He likes the maze in UK. He likes the McDonald's fries.

One of my favorite things that I did with my 2 and 3 year olds on the last trip was to visit each country, put a hat on that represented that country (from the souvenier shops) and snap a picture. They turned out so cute. And that was my whole scrapbook page from Epcot.

They also really loved the princesses in France (Sleeping Beauty and Belle).

Have fun!

When DD was that age (and still now at 5 yo) she LOVED The Living Seas...she would just stand staring at the glass and burst into a fit of the giggles everytime a fish would swim by close to her.

I have to jump on the bandwagon here and agree that the Living Seas is a good bet with a 2yo. My DD would have spent all day there when she was 2. She had a little "journal" and some crayons and would "take notes" about the fish she saw. We joked that she was going to grow up to be the next Jane Goodall. She also enjoyed the Nemo statues and many of the details like the glowing sidewalks and fountains.

Watch the toy train village that's by Germany. The lines for characters are a lot shorter in WS than in other places (like MK) so you get more time and more interaction. Play on the wooden ship in Norway. The maze at the UK. The waterfall in Canada. Figment ride. Some of the stuff at Innoventions should be do-able. Chinese acrobats (kids performing - get a seat in the shade or right by the rope). Turtle Talk with Crush. Have fun!!

All three of my kids were just in love with The Living Seas as little ones. Especially now, with Crush, it is an extra fun place to go with toddlers & pre-schoolers. My boys both loved the little train setup in the World Showcase Germany section (to the right of the cuckoo clock shop). They also loved to get in and out of all of the cars at the end of Test Track (that showroom area with all of the models). Currently, my daughter is mesmerized by the Fountain of Nations water show & the meet & greet in the Character Connection.
