Honey I Shrunk The Audience

How is this show at Epcot for a 4 year old?

It might be a bit much - check it out for yourself and see what you think. I am a horrible judge of tolerance for little kids.

My 3 and 4 year olds were fine with it.

My daughter at 5 was a bit scared, especially when the mice go running under the seats (air jets blowing on your legs) and the snake gets loose (a 3-D set of fangs jumps out at you). If they lift their legs into the seat though and close their eyse for the snake, it's probably not too bad. Now at 11, she loves the show!!

One quick fix for kids who might get startled during the show is to have them take off the 3D glasses (for a while, anyway).

All of the "coming out of the screen" EFX (like the snake) become flat and a bit out-of-focus without the glasses on.

Also a set of noise-reducing ear-plugs (or just some cotton balls) placed in the ears of each child is a good idea on any attraction that has LOUD NOISES (like ALL of the 3D films, Dinosaur, Fantasmic!, Wishes, etc.) can help lower the anxiety level.

For my money, if you're concerned enough to ask the question, it'll probably be too much. My DD8 was bothered by this & we've all vowed never going again in this lifetime.

At 4 my son hated this. He had a fear of creepy crawlies and it was too much for him. He outgrew that fear when he was around 7 or 8, and now he loves it.

My kids were fine with it and they have been there at 2 1/2, 5, and 7. If they are little they may not even feel the mice my son didn't at 2 1/2.

Thanks for all the replies. I think we'll be skipping this attraction!

I've seen parents sit their children on their laps during the show. It made them feel much better about being in the dark and I agree with the person who says to take away the 3d glasses.

My 3 1/2 year old hated it! After seeing this show, she screamed whenever we tried to take her to any other shows at Disney because she thought they wre going to be the same. Extremely loud, even with ear plugs. And even I did not like the mice part.
