EPCOT - Top 10 "must do's" (kids)


EPCOT 
Top 10 "must do's" 
for elementary aged kids

1.  The Seas with Nemo & Friends

This omnimover takes you "down under" to the watery world of Nemo and his friends.  The queue for this ride is generally fast moving, and really makes you feel as if you are entering Nemo's world.  With upbeat, catchy tunes and colorful sets, this ride is sure to be enjoyed by all!


2.  Caribbean Coral Reef Aquarium

After taking a ride on your "clam-mobile" with Nemo & his friends, you can enjoy the 5.7 million gallon salt-water aquarium located in the Seas pavilion.  There are hand-on activities for all ages within the aquarium, and plenty of opportunities to spot the real Nemo and friends!


3.  Character Spot...Mickey & Friends

No trip to Disney is complete without a picture with THE MOUSE!  At the Epcot Character spot you can meet Mickey and his pals Minnie, Donald, Goofy & Pluto!  The wait is pretty fun too!  There are TV's playing classic Mickey Mouse cartoons, and there is air conditioning!  If your family enjoys searching for "Hidden Mickey's" there are a few to spot in this area while you wait.  In the same building (just through a separate door) is Fountain View, a quick service restaurant with ice cream, smoothies & other treats that are perfect for enjoying while you wait to meet the mouse!


4.  Innoventions

Innoventions is split into two pavilions:  East and West.  Both are full of fun, hands-on activities.  From a video game playground to a make your own thrill ride station, there is something for everyone at Innoventions.


5.  Mission:  SPACE - green team (must be 44" tall to ride)

Mission:  SPACE is a thrill, for sure!  There are two options for experiencing this attraction.  For the younger kids and those who have trouble with motion sickness, then the Green Team is for you.  However, if you want to take the more extreme path, join the Orange Team.  The Orange Team version of the ride puts you through a centrifuge, and it will disorient you!  This interactive journey will take you and your team on a mission to Mars.  Help get your team there safely!


6.  Soarin' (must be 40" tall to ride)

Epcot's Soarin' takes you on an adventure over the natural beauty of California.  This simulator really makes you feel as if you are gliding over landmarks such as the Grand Canyon, the Golden Gate Bridge and Yosemite National Park.


7.  Test Track (must be 40" tall to ride)
Test Track takes you through a series of obstacle courses designed to test the durability of new cars, and it ends with a race around a test track that is sure to pin you to your seat!  Test Track has recently been redesigned with a cool Tron-like interior.  

8.  Phineas & Ferb:  Agent P's World Showcase Adventure
Hey, I know what we're gonna do today!  Agent P's World Showcase Adventure!!!!  Take this hi-tech scavenger hunt around Epcot's World Showcase.  Sign up for your unpaid internship to get a cell phone with instructions on how to stop the Evil Doctor Doofenshmirtz.


9.  Gran Fiesta Tour featuring the Three Cabelleros (Mexico Pavilion)
The Gran Fiesta Tour is a fun indoor boat ride based on the 1945 Disney classic, "The Three Cabelleros" featuring Donald Duck and his two Latin American friends Jose and Panchito.  Kids are sure to enjoy spotting Donald Duck throughout the ride.


10.  Illuminations:  Reflections of Earth (Fireworks show)
The perfect end to a day at Epcot is the IllumiNations:  Reflections of Earth fireworks show.  Set over the World Showcase lagoon, it is truly an inspiring sight to behold.
