With the Food and Wine festival at Epcot approaching, I thought it would be a good time to reiterate the wonderful educational opportunities found in this theme park.
- Interact with the cast members working in the shops and restaurants. Many of them are from the country they represent. Notice their accents, ask about the country, and if you are studying the language of the country - this is a great opportunity to try a conversation.
- Taste something new in each country (during the Food and Wine festival even more countries have food available in small booths placed between the regular attractions). A suggestion for trying the food - share! Trying to have something new in each country can fill you before you are finished, so share with others in your party. This will allow you to try even more!
- Look around! You can definitely get an idea of the architecture from each country. The buildings were designed to replicate the architecture you would see if traveling there.
- Enjoy the entertainment! As you progress around the World Showcase stop for the movies, street entertainers, musicians, acrobats, dancers, and more!
- Purchase or create a "passport" type book and have it stamped at the Kidcot stops in each country.
- Younger kids will enjoy the kidcot stops, while a little older children may enjoy the Kim Possible missions that take you around the World Showcase.
What do you enjoy when visiting the World Showcase? I would love to hear!
