\"Why<\/p>\n

Epcot is my kids’ favorite park.\u00a0 Epcot often gets a reputation for not being a kid-friendly park and I\u2019m here to tell you, that\u2019s so not true.\u00a0 I think this misconception stems from many years ago when my generation was dragged along to the circle vision videos in the World Showcase.\u00a0 Epcot is really so much more though.\u00a0 In fact, we\u2019ve never done these shows (but they are on our list!).\u00a0 My three children are 9, 8, and 5 and absolutely love Epcot and usually says it\u2019s their favorite park.\u00a0 First, I\u2019ve always loved Epcot, even back when it was EPCOT (Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow).\u00a0 I still mourn the loss of Horizons, the Dreamfinder, and the original Journey into Imagination, but the nostalgia I feel for Epcot is evident and I think my children pick up on that. I love the background loops at Epcot and get so excited to see the water at the Fountain of Nations dance, that they can\u2019t help but get excited too.<\/p>\n

Future World, while in desperate need of some updating to give it a futuristic feel, is home to several of the girls\u2019 favorite attractions<\/a>.\u00a0 Test Track<\/a> and Soarin\u2019<\/a> are two of our family favorites, and we could experience them both over and over.\u00a0 My youngest, took a special fondness to Figment when she was just a year old and would love nothing more than to ride \u201cFigment\u201d (aka Journey into Imagination)<\/a> all day long.\u00a0 Spaceship Earth is to us, a quintessential Walt Disney World attraction \u2013 the scents, the scenes, and knowing you\u2019re in that giant geosphere \u2013 all make it a must-do.\u00a0 \u00a0A new Future World favorite is a show that opened in November 2017, the SpectacuLab.\u00a0 It\u2019s a STEM based learning experience and the kids just love it.<\/p>\n

Of course, some of our favorite shopping is done in MouseGear and what child doesn\u2019t love Cool Club?\u00a0 It\u2019s the only time our children drink soda so it\u2019s a treat to try all the flavors of Coca-Cola products from all over the world!\u00a0 Living with the Land and Finding Nemo are also attractions that simply can\u2019t be overlooked.\u00a0 Both offer some time off your feet and while the Land provides some edutainment, Nemo appeals to all children and never seems to have more than a five-minute wait.<\/p>\n

But even more so than Future World, the girls love the World Showcase!\u00a0 There are 11 pavilions that make up the World Showcase and early on when visiting with our children, we spent lots of time in those pavilions.\u00a0 Even if kids weren\u2019t genuinely interested in the cultures represented, there\u2019s still a lot for them to do.\u00a0 First, there is a Kidcot in each pavilion.\u00a0 Kidcot is an area where Cast Members supply \u201cDuffys\u201d and washable markers to color those Duffys.\u00a0 Duffy is a teddy bear that Mickey took along with him on his world travels and comes on a \u201cstick\u201d for children to color. \u00a0 Children can color their entire Duffy at one Kidcot, or to keep the moving along, you can have them use one color per country, or design different themed Duffys around the World Showcase.\u00a0 The Cast Members often have some of their own Duffy artwork on display.\u00a0 These Cast Members that work at all of the Kidcots (and most other areas of the pavilions), are all native to the country you\u2019re visiting so your children can interact with them \u2013 asking about their homes, what they like to eat, how to say certain words in their native language, or even have them write their name in say, Japanese!\u00a0 The girls love to see what names are popular among the Cast Members and ask them questions about some of their traditions.<\/p>\n

There are also Penny Presses\u00a0throughout the World Showcase that children can first seek out, then press pennies!\u00a0 These are located throughout all of the Walt Disney World Resort but can definitely keep them entertained in the World Showcase.\u00a0 They pennies are unique and fun (and affordable!) to collect.\u00a0 There are also Hidden Mickeys everywhere at Walt Disney World and you can try spotting them on your own, use the Hidden Mickey Guide found in most shops, or use lists you\u2019ve found online!\u00a0 My oldest had the pleasure of meeting an Imagineer who had \u201cplaced\u201d a hidden Mickey in the Italy pavilion right after we purchased our first Hidden Mickey Guidebook!<\/p>\n

\"Hidden
Hidden Mickey with Imagineer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You can also decide on something to do in each country as a fun challenge!\u00a0 Sometimes, we\u2019ve decided we\u2019ll find some kind of chocolate or cookie from each country to bring home with us, or we\u2019ve taken a picture in each country with a hat or piece of clothing from that culture.\u00a0 Or we may decide to take pictures with statues in each pavilion.\u00a0 The possibilities are endless and lots of fun!<\/p>\n

There are a few attractions in the World Showcase.\u00a0 The Mexico pavilion is home to\u00a0one of our favorites, the\u00a0Grand Fiesta Tour starring the Three Caballeros<\/a>! Frozen Ever After is the newest attraction in the World Showcase and located in the Norway pavilion.\u00a0 It replaced the former Norwegian themed Maelstrom.\u00a0 The girls also enjoy Impressions de France, but we still need to get to O’Canada, Reflections of China, and the American Adventure.\u00a0 There really is never enough time to do everything!<\/p>\n

Then of course, there\u2019s the food.\u00a0 While my kids are pretty average eaters \u2013 one is sort of picky, one has an adventurous palette, and the other \u2013 it depends on the day, they all love to eat at Epcot.\u00a0 Our absolutely favorite location in all of Walt Disney World to get something to eat any time of day is Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie<\/a>, which is the French Bakery in the France pavilion.\u00a0 It\u2019s absolutely amazing.\u00a0 They have sandwiches, salads, quiche, soup, and of course French pastries!\u00a0 You can enjoy any meal of the day there and we may be prone to indulge in \u201cbreakfast dessert.\u201d\u00a0 The girls love the bacon, egg, and cheese croissant sandwiches for breakfast and the Croque Monsieur (a ham and cheese) for later in the day and their favorite desserts are the chocolate moussee and Napolean.<\/p>\n

The girls also love to eat at Biergarten<\/a>!\u00a0 This is the table service location in Germany which has a very \u201cAmericanized\u201d buffet.\u00a0 Rotisserie chicken and macaroni & cheese are favorites here!\u00a0 But what\u2019s awesome is the show!\u00a0 You get to experience an authentic Germany band playing their horns and bells!\u00a0 The show is great and the girls love to dance with their friends on the dance floor.\u00a0 A favorite character meal is located at Garden Grille in the Land pavilion, as well as many other stops to eat.\u00a0 There are many options to snack on or enjoy a full mean all around Epcot and while you can find lots of different items, there are also very mild flavors that appeal to the masses (aka the kids).<\/p>\n

In and around many of the pavilions you can also catch amazing shows such as the Voices of Liberty in America, a mariachi band in Mexico, a daring balancing act in France, acrobats in Japan, drummers in China, belly dancers in Morocco, and many more!\u00a0 The girls love these performances and soak it all up!\u00a0 The holidays and different festivals bring out additional performances that they love!<\/p>\n

Lastly, Epcot\u2019s nighttime show is the long running, Illuminations: Reflections of Earth<\/a>.\u00a0 My children ask for this show more than any other nighttime show when we\u2019re at Walt Disney World and that\u2019s saying a lot because they absolutely love Happily Ever After, Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular, and the holiday show – Jingle Bell, Jingle BAM!\u00a0 I think this is because they kind of grew up around our love of Illuminations and they love the music and fireworks and get so excited to see the \u201cglobe\u201d during the day as it positions itself in the World Showcase Lagoon!<\/p>\n

Epcot really isn\u2019t a park to rule out just because you have children with you.\u00a0 It\u2019s really a park that you will get out of it what you seek from it.\u00a0 There\u2019s thrill rides, nostalgic attractions, \u00a0great characters, amazing background loops, wonderful food, powerful concerts and shows, diverse culture, and fun to be had on any number of hunts you partake in!\u00a0 I’d love to help you and your family plan your next vacation!\u00a0 Send me an email at jocelyn@themagicforless.com or follow me on Facebook!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
