i would echo that, we dont have children but there alwys was free stuff happening, redaings round fire bongos braclets rubbings of the floor....

it was busy when we went but could get table at jika and boma (both are lush!)

enjoy!

one tip, no internet access unless you take laptop for room and pay 9-95/day. we thought there would be a comp you could use and put some $ in but no! and we were lost!

Yikes no internet access....I'll have to like be sociable to people and stuff!! (actually maybe that's a good thing!)
Thanks for the heads up though!

Epoct is indeed more centred around adults BUT the new Kim Possible activity and the kids fun stops are super. We have great fun with the kids at Epcot so dont discount it, but if time is short and you have kids then it would be last on my list for them.

My DD is 6 and says Epcot was her favourite when she last visited age 3 1/2. I don't know what she remembers about it, but she has a positive memory of it. We did the whole passport and Kidcot thing which was great. The Kim Possible activity sounds great - will have to investigate that!

Current Annual Pass options as follows - all prices in dollars so divide by 1.63 for a GBP price.

If you had a standard Magic Your Way 10 day ticket the cost would be $237

If you added no expropriation to this the cost is $437

An equivalent Annual Pass (Theme Park AP) is $469 plus tax of course of 6%

Florida resident passes are even cheaper

So in GBP the AP is about $469 +7% / 1.63 = £307

And if you then take into account parking at $12 a day...

10 visits = $120 = £74
15 visits = $180 = £110
20 visits = $240 = £147

So there are savings to be had. You could also just get one annual pass for your group, which would cover the parking and then normal tickets for everyone else...

Head to Clearwater - There is a seafood restaurant right on the harbour (cant for the life in me remember the name) And they sell Seafood caught that day. You see them literally bringing it out the boat and into the restaurant.

what i find annoying is that the brits pump millions into the Florida economy, and we don't get offered discounts. many of those who get discounted passes also work in the tourism industry, with their wages being generated by us. having said that , i still love the place.
