Attractions Epcot Cover

Part of being a great travel planner is making sure our clients have all the tips and tricks available to them. I’m often asked by families with young children if they should skip Epcot because they all have the misconception there isn’t many age appropriate activities for them. The truth is Epcot has a lot more to offer for everyone than most visitors realize, especially the kids. Epcot offers a lot of hands on attractions and educational opportunities through the rides, countries and displays. Please note many of these attractions offer us parents a chance to sit down and take a break in the air conditioning for a few minutes. I hope you enjoy this list and I would love to hear your feedback.

The Seas with Nemo & Friends – Future World West

Board your “clamobile” and descend into the “Big Blue World” to help Marlin and Dory in search of Nemo. As you swim through the bright coral, jelly fish and wavering sea anemones, be on the lookout for Bruce the shark, because you never know where he is lurking. I don’t want to give away all the secrets of the ride, but the ending is “Totally Awesome!”

Turtle Talk with Crush – Future World West

Enter the Turtle Talk Theater and take a seat into Crush’s ocean world, as your little one has the chance to interact and ask Crush questions. By using a high-tech “hydrophone”, Crush can directly talk with all the little dudes and dudettes! With each new wave of kids is completely unique interaction, so come back to see Crush more than once and you’ll be guaranteed a different experience. Be sure to check your times guide or My Disney Experience app to find the exact times to catch Crush.
