Epcot Top 10 at age 3

Here are the fun, not scary things our toddler enjoys when we go to Epcot: 

1. Spaceship Earth: Inside the Epcot ball. Best done in the morning when there's usually no line. There's a fun little game you get to do while you ride. We let Owen make the selections and the results are always fun and different that way. You might need to prop up your todd when they take the picture (towards the beginning of the ride)
2. Innovations (west): He loves the firetruck in there and makes us visit it every time.
3. The Seas with Nemo and Friends: You come out of this ride into the aquarium. Owen likes the ride but I think he enjoys exploring all the fish in the aquarium even more.
4. Journey Into Imagination With Figment: Kids love it. Warning: Silly song might get stuck in your head.
5. Living with the Land: He loves riding on the boat. I love showing him the humongous fruits and veggies. 
6. Drums: African drums close to the China Pavilion are a mandatory stop. Soft serve ice cream right next door for extra smiles...
7. China Pavilion: Just fun to run around and 'gently' play with the puppets. 
8. Germany Pavilion: CHOO CHOO TRAIN!
9. England: Running through the mini maze. Live band is fun too, when they're around.
10. Mexico Pavilion: Boat ride, and if you're lucky the mariachis might be around which is always fun.

They also have activity stations in the shops throughout the countries with coloring, stamping, etc. to create your own souvenir. 

Epcot Flower & Garden Festival

We've been to the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival twice this year. Had great weather both times. We arrived there early, before the crowds started to come in. The topiaries are amazing and my 3 year old Owen really enjoys looking at them. However, there are a few other things he enjoys that you can only see during the festival.

1. Pixie Hollow Fairy Garden: Really neat playground for children 2-5. 

2. Main Playground: If you're standing in front of the Lightning Mcqueen topiary make a right. You'll see this unusual structure on your right. This playground is a bit larger than the previous one and has lots to climb on and some fun music playing in the background, which Owen seemed  to really enjoy.

3. Bambi's Butterfly House: In here you can of course see... butterflies! However, I thought the best part was seeing the caterpillars. Everyone's read The Very Hungry Caterpillar and seen how he becomes a butterfly at the end of the story. I think being able to explain to your child the process while standing right in front of real caterpillars and surrounded by butterflies is priceless.

After doing all these, we go on to do some of Owen's other favorite things at Epcot.
