I hate Epcot. It's terrible. I ended up spending a shit ton of money "drinking around the world" and looking at overpriced bullshit in all the shops.
I feel like kids would hate it. |

I honestly thought they would HATE Epcot but they can't wait to get there each time we go. They love the rides, the views, the fireworks, the food. Everything. They show more interest in what is going on there than in any of the other parks. |

Yeah, I remember when I went all the kids had these little devices (I thought they were phones) and they'd stop at certain areas in the park. It was obviously some weird ass hunt or whatever.
Then we get to Future World or whatever and the only thing I half enjoyed was Mission to Mars. Highlight of my time there was seeing Mulan. Bitch was fine as hell, I had to wave and give her a cheesy ass smile. My girlfriend was like "You're such a flirt".... I loved that girl. |

Kids will love: Soarin' - Hang gliding simulator Test Track - Come on, it's a fast ride Mission: Space (Orange side) - Another awesome simulator Under the Seas with Nemo - Nemo ride part appeals to little kids, and the rest of the aquarium is always filled with wide-eyed kids. Never seen a kid be bored at the Seas. I love aquariums, too, so I love it. Sum of All Thrills - Design and ride your own roller coaster. Awesome. Kids probably won't love: Spaceship Earth - Very history oriented, but cool for adults. They will like the end of the ride when they get to see themselves animated on screen, though. Livin' with the Land - Boat ride about aquaponics and sustainable agriculture Ellen's Energy Adventure - Long. Boring. But they'll probably fall asleep because it's 45 minutes. I like the animatronic dinosaurs, though. In world showcase, there's the Maelstrom boat ride in Norway, 3 caballeros boat ride in Mexico, chinese acrobats, and the Agent P world showcase adventure. They'll probably also love eating at Biergarten, because there's a show that likes to involve kids. Does Epcot need some love? Absolutely. But there's a TON to love about the park. You just have to go in realizing that it's not a park that is centered around rides. That makes it one of a kind. And hey, if you hate it, there's a tequila bar in the basement of Mexico. |

I don't know if it's still there but the Michael Jackson 3D movie was pretty cool, plus it's air conditioned if you or the kids need a 20-30 minute break from the heat. It was still there 2.5 years ago when I last went.

Little kids would also love Journey into Imagination, even though it's the worst ride in the world, especially for adults. Fun colors and all that. I wish they would bring the original ride back. It used to be awesome. |

When I was a kid I loved Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. I thought it was awesome. But I guess that's Pooh or something now.
That new Goofy roller coaster in Magic Kingdom is kind of a waste. Whole thing takes like 20 seconds. |

Mr. Toads is still at Disneyland in Cali. At least it still was a few years ago.

I'm considering doing the park hopper as well. We'll have essentially 3 days that we can do parks and I really don't think Animal Kingdom is a full day deal - so I'm thinking 1/2 day at Animal Kingdom, 1/2 day at Magic Kingdom, 1 full day at Magic Kingdom & then Universal.
If we didn't have that 1/2 day open in there, I wouldn't consider it. Might instead use it for a water park. Just not 100% sure yet. |

My first memory of an amusement park ride is of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, but it was at Disneyland.

That was my issue and the reason I prefer Universal/IOA to anything Disney. |
