Originally Posted By christiemarsh88 We have to remember that to most EPCOT is very boring, particularly lots of kids. It used to bore me when I was very little. I love it now, though. That's what makes Disney World so neat. Although everything can be experienced and enjoyed by all ages, not everything is geared only towards children. And just because people don't enjoy EPCOT doesn't mean that they don't enjoy being educated. There are plenty of other reasons not to claim a park as your favorite. And another thing: Don't make fun of those kids. Mr. Toad used to scare the crap out of me, too. (I was always afraid something would jump out at me--it was dark in there!)

There are so many great shows (Chinese acrobats, jugglers etc) to keep them entertained as well as character meets. They also have a grea time making masks and getting signatures for their passports. Lots to keep them entertained!
