Help me with the World Showcase

Answers given up above in their quotes^^^

Just an FYI, almost all the entertainment you mentioned has been swapped out with new acts. Also, I'm not sure that Mexico has Agent P. Someone else with more expertise?

Can someone hand me my words? I need to eat them.

But the entertainment part is still true.

Trying to figure out who the Ziti Sisters are.

Welp, figured it out by doing some Googling. That was sad.

I'm guessing you've a lot of time on your hands.... I simply offered things I did & enjoyed....I'm not on every WDW website lurking about every bit of what is going on.....Some I wasn't sure if they still existed, so I POSTED IT THAT WAY, & some i put that we actually enjoyed, or will come to enjoy---> FROZEN RIDE!
As much as I love DISNEY , I'm not 24/7.....BTW Have a Magical Day.

We are doing an Epcot day in June and pretty much just hoping to hang out in WS as much as possible. It doesn't open until 11, right? Our 3 year old is desperate to meet Mulan and would love Aladdin and Jasmine together, too, so I hope we can see them! I know people say WS isn't really for little kids, but if ours is character-and-snack-obsessed, it should still be a fun time, right?

My bit of advice? Check the time listings for the M&G, and then do WS in the evening. World Showcase in the afternoon in June is excruciatingly hot. Very little shade, a huge area to walk around and it just feels like a concrete oven. We ended up doing very little there because it was so crowded and so hot during the day, so we missed probably 75% of it. Our daughter (5) really didn't care much about it - she did like the trains in Germany, the face painting in "Africa", the boat ride in Mexico and Pick a Pearl in Japan. It was everything else and all the walking in between that was miserable. So we had hot parents, and a hot and bored 5 year old. Our 8 year old enjoyed it more: he loved Reflections of China, the Mariachi Band in Mexico (though it was too hot to stand and watch them for any length of time), the boat ride in Mexico, the face painting, and of course the toy store in Japan. I really wish they'd open WS up at 9, it's amazing what a difference those 2 hours make in the heat. Now we did do one Kidcot station which they enjoyed, but then didn't want to leave because it was in the air conditioning. We'll go again, but not until evening. My ideal would be to spend one or two evenings, from probably 6-9 at WS. Your daughter is too young for Agent P, but I do think we'll try that next time.

This was pretty rude and uncalled for.

Wow, I think that poster was just letting you know, in case during your upcoming trip you were planning on doing some of the things that aren't there anymore.

I love that you asked...I've been at Epcot so many times and always find something new, still there are so many great suggestions posted that I never knew about!

Definitely sounds like it...very sad

-OK now this isn't free but it's neat. You can purchase a passport in any country's gift shop. There's a page for each country in it; bring it to any CM - we usually gave it to the CM at the KidCot station - and they'll write "Hello child's name" and a little message al in their native language. I think it costs $10 or $20? It's been 4 or 5 years since we've bought them.....I also think there's one somewhere here on the DiS people have downloaded.
-something else people have done, including us, that isn't free but keeps kids interested and allows adults to look in shops, is let kids pick out either a small trinket or piece of candy/chocolate in every country. If you are interested in shopping or even just looking around but your kids tend to.....whine as some do, in stores, this may help! Just remember if you're going during a hot month you may not want to carry chocolate around with you

Okay, is this only for kids? Because I think it sounds like fun, too. ;-)

LOL the trinkets/candy/chocolate or passport? Anyone can buy the passport and yes, adults have done it. Adults have even colored their own Duffy or whatever-on-a stick at the KidCot stations, whatever you want to do And shopping/eating candy and chocolate is DEFINITELY for adults!

Thanks for the info, I didn't realize there was a lack of shade and was definitely thinking we'd head over at 11 and spend a few hours here. Do the meet & greets happen in the evenings at all?

I honestly don't know... You'd have to look online. I think many go until 6 or 7 though. Some of the entertainment in the WS doesn't even start until late afternoon anyways (around 4 I believe), and most extends again through till at least 6 or 7.

Definitely check online, I believe wdwwent.com lists the M&G times but I could be wrong; I know Kenny the Pirate does. mshanson3121 is right though, many end between 5-7.

Thanks for all of the information! I'll have to do some more WS research before our trip!

The passport, mostly. But I never shirk from shopping and eating candy!

I'm sorry, have I offended you in some way?

To be honest It's very rare that I get offended, & this was not one of the times....I actually just read back your original reply, & to me that seemed like you commented in a Snarky way....

This was pretty rude and uncalled for.

All's I did was offer what I liked & it appeared in that thread that my knowledge, or lack there of was being questioned, or downgraded.

Wow, I think that poster was just letting you know, in case during your upcoming trip you were planning on doing some of the things that aren't there anymore.

I really don't think that was the case.....but maybe some of you see it that way.....

Definitely sounds like it...very sad

Heheh..Very sad...Really? I simply offered some info which I thought was relevant..Most was, some wasn't no big deal....I just felt like I was somehow carved..
