Hello

I have two girls ages 5 and 7 and will be traveling to Disney Sept 28- Oct 5.

I have read a little about the KIDCOT stops but have a few questions.

Will they interest girls of ages 5 and 7

What types of crafts do they get to make

Is carrying the crafts around all day any type of problem

What are the hours of KIDCOT


Any help you can give will be appreciated


Thanks

My daughter is 5 and she was quite interested in the Kidcot stops (and those stops in Animal Kingdom as well).
They were mostly just simple little cut outs, but there are some coloring activities and some other little things. Nothing major, but it was a nice way to take a little break and give them something to show for it.
They give them a little (cheap) lanyard to carry the stuff around their necks, but my daughter gave it to me to keep in the backpack, so it wouldn't blow in her face.

I have no idea what the hours are, probably similar to the park hours. (The first one we did in EPCOT was less than an hour after it opened.)

Try one. If they like it, then keep stopping. If not, no harm, no foul. (they're free after all)

Enjoy!

I found this info. on a web site about Epcot:

KIDCOT Fun Stops are "Kid Stations" located in several Future World pavilions and in all of the World Showcase countries. These areas, staffed by Cast Members, feature an activity and/or craft table especially for children.

Suzanne: I know that most people are aware of the Kidcot Fun Stops, so I would like to share what my daughter and I do to make it even more special. We choose a day usually near the end of the trip, and start at Mexico right when World Showcase opens. We make our way from country to country just stopping at the stations or any of the stores she would like to visit. Because I love to scrapbook our trips, I also take a picture of her with each Cast Member at the station and of her with something representative of the country. One year she put on a hat and another she held up one of the mini flags. We also stop to enjoy some lunch together, pastries, and anything else we see that's interesting. It's a great sense of accomplishment when we make it all the way to Canada.

Rebecca: If all of your kids don't want to partake in the Kidcot activities, have an adult make an extra lanyard (or mask) for them! This fall, two of my three kids started and the third had no interest (initially!) in partaking. A little more than a third of the way into the Kidcot stops in the World Showcase, he decided he wanted to participate. Luckily, we had started a lanyard in Future World and a mask in the World Showcase, so he was able to start at the next stop (he colored his mask and picked up the next charm) -- and more importantly, we didn't have to go back to the beginning!

Kelly: When doing the World Showcase masks, ask them to attach a map of their country with the charm. Most countries have maps (only USA didn't have one available) and most countries have a wishing legend on the back of the maps. They are wonderful to read.

Hope this helps!

What is the age limit of being a "kid"? I'm almost 50 and want to do this, am I too old? :lol: Am I going through my "mid life crisis"?:ROFLOL:
What, if any, is the cut-off age?:shrug:

Maybe when one of our relatives with smaller children goes to WDW, we can tag along and you can "help" them with their crafts!

The last time we went to WDW our daughter was 16 1/2 and she stopped at all the stops and no one questionned her age or told her she was too old.

As long as you dont push some little kid out of their seat to do your craft you should be fine. I;ve seen lots of different ages working on these.
