I'd say Epcot isn't too much fun for kids. It's kinda boring, more of a sightseeing park with all the pavilions.

Peter Pan's Flight is so cool! It was closed the week we were there this past November. I was so disappointed.

Having just returned in December, I can tell you that the Fast Pass+ worked well for me and my family. Yes you are restricted to 1 park and restricted on rides, but at least for the 3 rides you are not waiting in line!!

That's funny cause my daughter loves Epcot, she loves all the shows at the pavilions, the Phines and Ferb Agent "P" scavenger hunt is a blast, and of course Soarin!

If you are going to Disney do not try to do it in one day. You will not enjoy your visit, you will be rushed.
It is not the same experience as Canada's wonderland.
Disney is not so much about the rides, they have so many other side entertainment to enjoy along with the rides
Disney is more of a relax and enjoy the family time and the Disney experience.
It's not all about the rides

They also have hidden games like "Hidden Mickey"
This game is all around Disney's parks, rooms, restaurants, rides
When eating or waiting in line for a ride they have hidden mickey's for your family to search for
They can be anywhere, we even found a Mickey train bolt in the tracks in Magic Kingdom

They also have a pin collection that's fun for the kids.
My daughter has a set of pins, every year we go she tries to collect a new set
At every ride she will look at the pins the attendants have, trade pins with the kids
My daughter usually tries to collect and older set of pins cause they are harder to find.
The next year she will bring her pins back and start again
It's a yearly game, that she plays in the park and cost pretty much nothing.
Just one set of pins and a ribbon to hang them on

This is all part of the Disney experience, the side games to go along with your everyday activities

At 10 and 12 you must bring them to the water parks too

So you will have 6 parks to enjoy
Disney also has a lot of learning experiences, a lot of Epcot focus is about our natural environment
What our future holds, where we get clean water from and growing foods in different ways

These parks are not just ordinary amusement parks
The more you look and read the more you will find at Disney
we have gone every year for 7 years, every time we go we find new things
It's crazy how you can go to the same place so many times and still find new stuff

Fyi: we are not Disney freaks, we are just limited on travel choice cause our daughter can not get vaccines
So US is a safe travel place for use

i'm sorry, if you do go ahead with a full blown Disney vacation, wait for the free dining plan. You will save A LOT of money.

Go to the Disney website and check their special offers...they have the free dining plan currently available for stays through to April 12th, 2014 if you book before February 22nd. Believe me when I tell you, dining at Disney is extremely pricey so the free dining plan will save you boatloads of money. And if you book, you can make all your reservations online thru the Disney website. You cannot just walk in to any of the table service restaurants, reservations are required, no exceptions.

And as I said before, booking airline tickets separately will save you money. We paid $500 taxes included for non-stop to Orlando from Buffalo on Southwest. Cheapest flights from Pearson were about $600 each.

If you stay on site at Disney you will get Extra Magic Hours – Each day, one of the parks offers extended hours
Only the guest who stay on site are allowed in the park at this time, this eliminates long line ups, the park really does empty out and you get to enjoy the park for the extra time
