EPCOT might not be the first Disney park you think of for kids, but it is actually one of the best. With thrilling rides, interactive World Showcase experiences, and seasonal festivals, EPCOT delivers a full day of family fun. Staying at 450 Burma puts you just 15 minutes away, and your kids can start the day in our Frozen themed bedroom before heading to ride Frozen Ever After at the park.
Morning: Hit the Big Rides First
Arrive at rope drop and head to these attractions before the lines build up:
- Test Track – Design your own virtual car and then test it on a high-speed track reaching 65 mph. Kids love the design station and the thrilling ride.
- Frozen Ever After – A boat ride through Arendelle with Anna, Elsa, Olaf, and Kristoff. This connects perfectly with our Frozen bedroom at 450 Burma. Your kids will be singing Let It Go all day.
- Soarin Around the World – A hang-gliding flight simulation over breathtaking world landmarks. The scents and wind effects make this unforgettable.
World Showcase Touring Order for Kids
World Showcase is a trip around the globe in 11 pavilions. Here is the best order for keeping kids engaged:
- Mexico – Take the Gran Fiesta Tour boat ride inside the pyramid. It is air-conditioned, fun, and almost never has a long wait.
- Norway – Home of Frozen Ever After (ride it in the morning). Explore the Viking ship and stave church.
- Japan – The Mitsukoshi department store is a treasure trove. Kids love picking out Japanese candy, toys, and the famous pick-a-pearl oyster experience.
- France – Ride Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, a trackless dark ride that shrinks you to the size of a rat in a Parisian kitchen. A must-do for families.
Lunch: Sunshine Seasons or Les Halles Boulangerie
- Sunshine Seasons (The Land pavilion) – A food court with diverse options including Asian stir-fry, rotisserie chicken, salads, and sandwiches. Something for every picky eater.
- Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie (France) – Outstanding French pastries, quiche, sandwiches, and treats. A fan-favorite and one of the best quick-service spots in all of Disney World.
Afternoon: More Family Favorites
- The Seas with Nemo and Friends – A gentle clamshell ride through an underwater adventure, followed by one of the largest aquariums in the world. Kids can spend ages watching the dolphins, sea turtles, and manatees.
- Spaceship Earth – Travel through the history of human communication inside the iconic EPCOT ball. Newly refreshed and a relaxing ride for the whole family.
- Journey Into Imagination with Figment – A quirky, colorful ride starring the beloved purple dragon. Kids adore Figment.
EPCOT Seasonal Festivals
