[LuvindisCruiser]

Hey everyone !

Our 5 yr.olds have never been to Epcot, and we have been their
briefly 7 yr.s ago.

So, what should I make sure we do when we visit? We will be there
in the evening for EMH, and on Saturday morning and afternoon !!

Thank you everyone !!

My 5 year old LOVES Epcot! His favorites are Test Track and Mission Space. He will ride them over and over again. He also loves Spaceship Earth, Journey into Imagination, Universe of Energy, Ice Station Cool, The Land, and the Living Seas. The only thing he doesn't like is Honey I Shrunk the Audience. He thinks it's scary. Also he's not a huge fan of the World Showcase... except to ride the rides in Mexico and Norway.

Have a great time!!!

My DD has always loved WS! We always devote 1 afternoon to going to each of the countries making the mask from the Kidcot stations. It usually takes about 2 hours just stopping at the stations. I take a picture of DD with the cast member and one year I took a picture of her wearing a hat from each country. Last year I took a picture of her with a little flag at each country. We also make sure to catch the candy lady in Japan. Passport stamps and pressed pennies are also fun to collect.

My 5 yr old loves Epcot.

He loves Test Track, Spaceship Earth, Journey into Imagination, Universe of Energy, Ice Cool Station, the water sprinklers, Mexico ride, watching the arcobats in China, watching the living statue in Italy, Living Seas, Lving with the Land, Honey I shrunk the audience.

He did not try Mission Space last time because he was about an inch too short so don't know if he would have liked it or not.

He also loves taking the monorail around Epcot. Sitting in the front was "way cool" (his words)

My DS5 LOVES Epcot! He has really learned a lot from going there, too.

His favorites are: Mexico and the Rio del Tiempo Ride, Norway and the Maelstrom ride, the hedge maze in UK, the waiter/acrobat show in France, the big train set in Germany, the acrobats in China, and the world Showcase Players in UK. He also loves illuminations.

FW favorites are: Spaceship Earth, Ellen Energy Ride, Test Track, Living Seas and Turtle Talk with Crush, (used to love the Land Ride), playing around in the Body section....can't think of the right name now....lots of room to run and some funny cartoons in a mini ampi theater, and somehwat Figment. He hates the skinky smell and the blast of air at the end. He has no insterest in Mission Space, but has fun in the play area in the waiting area. Loves the fountains, too. Does not like Honey I shrunk the audeicen. Too scary for him.

This year was the first time he did the KidCot stops and got a stamp in his passport at each country. He really got into that. Also, they have KidCot stops now at Test Track and Living Seas! Cool!

Thanks everyone !!
These are some great suggestions, I will put them in my
"must-do" list !! We weren't going to even do Epcot this time,
because I didn't think the kids would enjoy it. But, after reading
a few months back about how much there is for kids to do, I added
a day to our vacation. And, now I am so glad that I did !!!
And, now we are ready for Epcot !!
