Top 10 attractions and things to do with a toddler at Epcot
When you travel to Walt Disney World do you travel to Epcot with a toddler? I’ve had many Disney first time guests ask me if Epcot is a waste of time with a toddler. My answer is always no! We took our youngest son to Epcot when he was 22 months old and again at 32 months old. He loved Epcot! We didn’t spend as much time strolling around the World Showcase as we usually do, but it gave us a great time for him to nap in the stroller.
Here are my top attractions and things to do with a toddler at Epcot, based on my son’s experiences:
Top 5 Underrated Disney World Attractions
Anyone planning a trip to Disney or who has been there before knows that are certain attractions that get a lot of attention and fill up the queues really quick. Therefore, some other Disney attractions that may not offer the latest technology or the biggest thrills sometimes get overlooked and are definitely underrated. This is unfortunate since some of Disney’s best secrets are underrated attractions. Therefore, I have compiled a list of Top 5 Underrated Disney World Attractions for you to check out on your next trip to Disney World!
1. Carousel of Progress-This attraction came from the mind of Walt Disney himself and was shown at the 1964 New York World’s Fair to raving reviews! Today, this show still runs in Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom and has the honor of being the longest running show in American theater! The Carousel of Progress is unique in that the theater rotates around to different stages where you get to see how progress and new inventions impacted daily life in the early twentieth century. This charming show is both educational and entertaining. It’s usually not at the top of many Disney guest to-do lists; but it definitely should be! All ages enjoy it and it gives us a glimpse into the mind of Walt Disney himself.
Behind the Seeds Tour – A Different Side of Epcot
Mickey Pumpkins at Living with the Land Ride
Mickey Mouse shaped tomatoes? Pumpkins resting in hammocks in the air? No, it’s not the dream I had last night after spicy pizza and too much Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. These are just two of the interesting things that you can see on the Behind the Seeds Tour at Epcot. The first thing that most of us think of enjoying at Epcot is that coveted Fastpass for Soarin’, Mission Space or Test Track; however, Epcot has even more to offer, especially if you are a Disney nerd like me!
This tour, which is located in the Land pavilion, is something that I had wanted to try for many years and it was even better than I had hoped for. If you have ever ridden the Living with the Land attraction, then you have seen a small portion of one area that you will explore during this hour-long walking tour. It is a great experience with several unique highlights.
- Price:While wonderful and interesting, some of the tours at Disney World can be rather pricey; especially if you have a large family. This tour is much more reasonable at $18.00 per adult (ages 10 and up) and $14.00 per child (ages 3-9 years old) currently. 15% annual passholder, DVC, Disney Visa, and military discounts are offered.
Proper Park Etiquette – What NOT to do at Disney World!
With so many people running around the parks, it is important to know how to behave. Proper park etiquette can get you a long way! Today we are looking at the top 5 offenses that I’ve seen in the parks. These offenses may seem small or simple but for some reason, I continuously see guests making them. Read on an learn what NOT to do at Disney World!
1. Talk during the ENTIRE ride…
I’ve sat through many a ride where guests chatted away during the entire ride…seriously to the point that the intended narration and information was lost in a sea of conversation. LOUD, conversation! Here is what I propose, if you are having a conversation, do everyone else a favor and wait until you are finished talking before boarding the ride! Nothing ruins EPCOT’s Living With the Land more than only being able to hear some irrelevant conversation from the row behind you. I don’t know about you but I would much rather hear about the 9 pound lemon! Do everyone a favor and keep your conversation to a minimum!
