Last year when we went to Epcot we did the rides first and then made our way to the world showcase, but just as we started it everyone else seemed bored so we ended up leaving.   This year I was determined that we were going to do the world showcase since this will probably be our last time there for quite sometime.

Before leaving I tried to do as much research as I could so I could make the world showcase fun for the kids & Paul.   That’s when I found out they have these great places called Kidcot at each country.  The first one you go to they give the kids a mask and they can color them and decorate them with sharpie markers anyway they want.   From then on every country they go to they get a new thing to hang from it along with a stamp saying they were in whatever country it was.   Kevin had fun trying to find the kidcot at every station before me.  Then while we were in China the guy working taught the kids how to say Hello in Chinese which they thought was really cool!

Then the other thing I had found out and was so glad we did it was when we were in France we went and visited Boulangerie Paitisserie where I let Paul go in to find us a special treat with Kevin.   With they walked out I was expecting one plate since you know how prices are at Disney and Paul has a hard time separating from his money, but when they walked out they had 3 plates!  One had cheesecake, one had chocolate moose and the other had what Paul seemed to think was a Napoleon, but what ever it was called it was WONDERFUL!   Put it this way… we didn’t have the park hoppers on our tickets, but I would of been willing to take a day away from Magic Kingdom (our favorite) to go back there just for their pastries!   Paul said everything in there looked awesome and he could of dropped an easy $50 there since he wanted one of everything.   If that happened though I think he then would be on the search for some fast weight loss pills as I can’t imagine how many calories we ate as it was.

In Mexico they  have a boat ride that the kids really enjoyed too!  It kinda reminded me of It’s A Small World, but without the song going over and over again and of course without the line of people waiting to get on either.

So if you ever to go Epcot and you have in your mind you’re going to be bored in the world showcase.. wipe your mind clean and go in with an open mind.  You just might find out there are a lot of fun things to do and great food to try!
