The new experience sounds boring. Kids get a Ziploc bag and put cards in them?
I'm so glad my kids had years of the ugly masks with the dangling cutouts for each country, Agent P and Duffy.
The sad part is, even though they're now young teens, they were still looking forward to coloring Duffy. They had fun the past few years creating the special characters (that don't look like Duffy) that you would see behind the tables that the CMs created. My daughter created Pooh & Tigger. My son did the Avengers characters.

When I told my daughter about Ziploc, she immediately assumed they'd be giving out sandwiches. I told her Disney doesn't give....they provide......at a nominal cost.

My 9-year-old son made a zombie Duffy including peacock pants to lure his prey. Yes, that is a blood on his mouth and paws. Boys....

Yikes. They really need someone to re-think these stations. The coloring Duffy thing was at least cute.

What is the new activity?
Something around Ziploc (who is the new sponsor). Will experience it next month.

From what I've read, they get to collect travel cards to put in a ziploc bag that "looks like a suitcase" and stickers.

Actually sounds kind of cool.

Sounds like it could be fun for the kids. We’ve colored and brought home so many Duffy’s that I don’t even know what to do with them anymore. I also didn’t care for the amount of time we would spend parked at the Kidcot Station while the kids colored (Duffy and themselves). What we did like was the CM interaction and unique things they would add on the back of Duffy. Hopefully that sort of thing will be retained.

I have great memories of my husband and I enjoy a relaxing beer in Canada while my stepdaughter happily colored Duffy
But seriously, we are a Duffy family and all references to the bear will be sadly missed.

For Me - "Cool" is all relative to the response of a 5 and 3 year old. If it keeps them entertained....I'm good.

Kids love to collect things. This sounds like you can put together a full collection, with a little less time invested. As I recall, not all of the Kidcot locations are air conditioned.

Don't know about less time.....I'm not necessarily finishing my Macallan at Rose and Crown any faster on account of it. But I'll give it a go.
My wife gets those darn maps all the time from the Port of Entry shops. And I end up chasing the kids around WS enough as it is. This can't be any worse......or can it? I was good with the bear (figured out the timing).

You need a time machine to fast forward.
My kids are now 22 and 23. My kidcot days are blissfully over.
I hear ya. I've got a 29 and 14 year old from previous "skirmishes". I've been through it a couple of times. But I'm a glutton...so "I wanted to ride again"...I met a Canadian from Waterloo. My fate was sealed.

It’s always worth taking the plunge again with a Canadian.
I’m about 35-40 minutes away from Waterloo.
