? Kidcot Masks, without TOD Parade ?

[CRCrazy]

Has anyone noticed if they have changed the Kidcot Stations now that there is no longer a Tapestry of Dreams Parade?

My daughter's favorite part of Epcot was working on the Masks, with all the additions from each country - she has 3 hanging on her bedroom wall. Much more fun than the Passport, and free!

Since there is no longer the Dreamcatcher in the Parade, are they still providing the masks?

I saw a few yesterday, the only difference was no "dream disks" Otherwise, they had the same components.

Thanks S.S!! I was wondering that myself. We will be taking our 4 yr. old niece in Aug. and it's good to know we can enjoy the countries at a slower pace.

Masks at Epcot??? I must have missed them. I have a 3-year-old little girl and she would have loved that. We were there on Tuesday and just returned home yesterday.

Just my luck again to miss something good...

We were there Tuesday too and my daughters both did the masks. They are a pice of face shaped white cardboard attatched to a long paint stirrer stick.

At the first station (it can be any one) the child decorates the mask with markers. They then get a stamp on the handle from that country. They also get a silouette of something about that country attatched thorugh a hole in the mask. My kids started in Mexico where they decorated their masks and got a pyramid shape and worked their way all the way around to Canada. I think this was the only thing that got them all the way around the World showcase. In Japan they got a samurai headband on the mask and in China they wrote their name on the back in Chinese.

I don't know how this differs from the times when the TOD was going.

Ohhhhh that was a pyramid? I was wondering why they got a triangle in Mexico. That goes along with the theme of the Mexico pavillion.

I'm so glad to hear that they are still doing the masks That's the only way I can get my DD6 excited about going to Epcot.

Really? The other stuff my kids loved were Figment - they loved playing in Imageworks after the ride; and Food Rocks, in the Land. We had to see that twice, plus videotape it. THey also wanted to see the show with Timon & Pumbaa in the Land but we ran out of time.

Another fun (and free thing) is to pick your favorite character and ask at Kidcot what they call it in their country. My daughter (age 7) started to write this out because she thought it was really funny. Last trip she asked about Mickey Mouse....couldn't stop laughing (in Germany I think it was) where he is called Mickey Moose! She didn't know how "they could cofuse soemthing as big as a moose with something as small as a mouse."

She has already decided to ask about Winnie the Pooh this summer.
