There used to be a whole pavilion for the country of Norway where Frozen is now...
My only serious advice for Epcot as a whole would be to take the time to check out all of The Seas pavilion. The aquarium is an interesting learning experience for kids. You'll see people get on the ride and then rush right out the exit, but I would say walk around both upstairs and down and use the "teachable moment."

For about $10 they can purchase a World Showcase Passport Kit. A passport with stickers & a pin? (can't remember) is included. You visit each country & at the funstops the Cast members will tell the kids about their country, stamp their passports & write something in it.

Picking a pearl in the Japan showcase is fun.

Mitsukoshi in the Japan pavilion has some interesting variety in merchandise, that the children might enjoy. As noted above, picking a pearl is fun.
There are also some souvenirs that don't cost a lot. Every year I go there and add to my collection of chopsticks for the kitchen. They have a large selection of beautifully decorated ones.

Is that where the ride was supposed to go?
It certainly is. This would have been the entrance to German Rivers. Circa 1983-4 the original wooden entrance doors (that were closed) were replaced by this wooden mural wall.
You could also get the kids to jump on the floor in Imageworks but the CMs may not appreciate that!

In Mexico, you should visit La Cantina De San Angel for yummy yummy churros. And the shops in Mexico and China are fun with an inexpensive variety of items.
But if you want to go all out, visit Plume et Palette for fine Guerlain fragrances.

I went on a field trip to Epcot when i was a freshman in high school! Best field trip ever! I remember my friend buying a set of toy nun-chucks and going wild with them all the way home on the bus. Definitely check out the stores in Japan, China and Mexico they are huge and have lots of fun souvenirs. Mitsokoshi in Japan particularly has a great selection of candies and snacks from Japan which are really unique and interesting to americans, you'll probably find that area really interesting!

American Dream at the American Pavilion is a favourite of mine
Red and blue slush with vanilla ice cream.Also the Kakigori (shaved ice) in Japan is good
Anything slush is good to me lol
Anyway best stores in World Showcase are Japan, China and UK but depends on your own personal taste I guess.

If you want to spend any time away from the kids, there's a wine kiosk in France that serves up a mean glass of wine, or a vodka-orange slushie, or a Gran Marnier orange slushie - all good stuff!
We will see that for sure, get to sit!
