When visiting the parks, I hear a ton of “EPCOT is not for children.” There are quite a few attractions that are absolutely geared towards children, most of which do not have a height restriction so even the smallest children can ride. But did you know that there are 3 inexpensive fall experiences you can enjoy during EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival (some are even FREE)?
Up first, is Pluto's Pumpkin Pursuit. This is a map that has empty spots that get filled with stickers. It is a scavenger hunt for pumpkins throughout the park. There are 12 pumpkins decorated as characters, and the map describes the area where the pumpkins are located. When you purchase the map, around $10 plus tax, you are given the option to choose your prize then and take it with you or return to one of the three selected locations to redeem your prize. This year's (current) prize is an adorable sipper cup shaped like a pumpkin. There are characters such as Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and Stitch featured on these cups. The prizes are subject to change without notice.
The second experience is also a scavenger hunt, Remy’s Ratatouille Hide & Squeak. This scavenger hunt is also around $10 plus tax and with a similar set up. Throughout the park Remy is hidden in fifteen different locations. The map looks like a folded napkin, and features an artist depiction of the park. There are circular spots that list the location of where Remy can be found, and the sticker can be placed once Remy is spotted. The current prize for this scavenger hunt is a bowl that features Figment, Mickey Mouse, or Minnie Mouse. The prize is subject to change without notice.
The third, and final experience is actually a free experience that happens year round in the park. EPCOT offers activities around the World Showcase called Kidcot Fun Stop. Inside each represented country there is a Kidcot Fun Stop station, with signs showing you how to get to the table. At each table, a cast member will chat with you about the respective country, give a sticker, and an activity card. This is such an amazing activity and educational! Walt Disney World has also recently brought back the Passport that can be purchased. While it is not necessary to purchase the Passport, it does add a little more fun to the experience. It comes with stamps/stickers that can be placed on the pages. Also on the page the cast members could write something in their language (usually hello).
