Hi, I am Chali Francis â a Travel Advisor based in Oklahoma, a Walt Disney World Annual Passholder, and a mom who knows the ins and outs of making Disney vacations magical for families!
One thing I hear from clients all the time is:
âWe are thinking about skipping EPCOT until the kids are older.â
But trust me â EPCOT is absolutely worth visiting even with little ones!
From riding Frozen Ever After and Remyâs Ratatouille Adventure, exploring the underwater wonderland at The Seas Pavilion, to splashing through Moanaâs Journey of Water, EPCOT has become a family favorite for good reason.
And there is a hidden gem that kids especially love: the Kidcot Fun Stops!
Kidcot Fun Stops are a FREE interactive experience located throughout World Showcase at EPCOT.
Kids (and grownups too!) can collect activity cards at each of the 11 international pavilions, meet Cast Members from around the world, and even learn a little about different cultures along the way.
When my daughter and I visit EPCOT, Kidcot is one of our must-do activities! She loves going from country to country, meeting new friends, and seeing how different â and yet how connected â our world is.
How to Experience Kidcot Fun Stops
It is super simple (and so much fun!):
Visit the Kidcot stop in any country â I recommend starting at the first country on your route!
Pick up your free Kidcot âsuitcaseâ â a cute Ziploc bag to hold your treasures.
At each pavilion, find the Kidcot location and meet the Cast Member there.
Collect your countryâs Kidcot card â and sometimes, if they have time, Cast Members will even:
Write your childâs name in their native language,
Share a story,
Or teach your child a simple phrase from their home country!
You can visit all 11 countries or just a few â it is completely flexible.
Kidcot is the perfect activity to sprinkle into your day while waiting for your next Lightning Lane or dining reservation!
Pro Tip: Some Kidcot stations are tucked away deeper inside the pavilions, so you might have to hunt for them â which is half the fun! You will get to explore parts of the countries you might otherwise walk right past.
Where to Find Kidcot Fun Stops at EPCOT
Here is a quick guide to where you can find each Kidcot location:
Mexico Pavilion â near the Mexico Folk Art Gallery
Norway Pavilion â inside The Puffinâs Roost
China Pavilion â near the exit of Reflections of China
Germany Pavilion â inside Volkunst shop
Italy Pavilion â outside, near La Bottega Italiana
American Adventure Pavilion â outside, near Art of Disney
Japan Pavilion â in the Bijutsu-kan Gallery
Morocco Pavilion â at the Marketplace in the Medina
France Pavilion â inside Souvenirs de France
United Kingdom Pavilion â inside The Toy Soldier
Canada Pavilion â at the exit of Canada Far and Wide in Circle-Vision 360
Whether you start your journey at Mexico, Canada, or (my personal favorite) the International Gateway, make sure to pick up your Kidcot âsuitcaseâ and start collecting memories!
Why Families Should Not Skip EPCOT
Adding Kidcot into your day gives kids a mission â and helps turn World Showcase from a âwalk through the countriesâ into an exciting, interactive adventure.
It is educational and it is fun, and it is one of the best-kept secrets when visiting EPCOT with children.

Hi! Iâm Chali Francis â a Walt Disney World Annual Passholder and Travel Advisor based in Oklahoma. I specialize in Walt Disney World and Universal vacations, and I help families find the best fit for their budget, travel style, and vacation goals.
With over 25 resort hotels to choose from on Walt Disney World property, there truly is something for everyone. Whether you are looking for deluxe accommodations with monorail access or something more budget-conscious that still keeps you immersed in the magic, Disney has you covered.
Today, I want to shine the spotlight on the most affordable resort options at Walt Disney World â the All-Star Resorts. These three value resorts are packed with fun theming, larger-than-life characters, and that special Disney touch. Letâs take a closer look at each one to help you decide which is the right fit for your family.
The All-Star Resorts are Disneyâs most budget-friendly accommodations, but that does not mean you are missing out on the magic. In fact, staying at an All-Star resort still gives you access to many of the same perks you will find at higher-tier Disney resorts, such as:
Early Theme Park Entry
Complimentary bus transportation to all four theme parks and Disney Springs
Fun resort activities like poolside games, movies under the stars, arcades, and playgrounds
Large themed pools (while they do not have waterslides, they are still incredibly fun and kid-friendly)
Food courts and pool bars for convenient meals and snacks
A compact layout â making it easy to get from your room to the lobby, pool, or bus stop without a long walk
Plus, the All-Star Resorts are âmotel-style,â meaning you access your room from an exterior corridor. This makes it super simple to get in and out without walking down long interior hallways â a small but convenient perk when you have tired little ones after a long park day.
Disneyâs All-Star Movies Resort
If you are traveling with younger children (or young at heart!), All-Star Movies is a guest favorite. With bold, oversized character statues and vibrant theming throughout, every corner of this resort feels like you stepped into a Disney film.
The resort is divided into five themed sections:
Toy Story
101 Dalmatians
Fantasia
The Mighty Ducks
Herbie the Love Bug
Each section features iconic characters and playful designs â from giant Woody and Buzz to Sorcerer Mickey casting magic over the Fantasia pool. It is a great option for families who want to keep the Disney magic going even after they leave the parks.
Personal pick: This is my favorite All-Star Resort because of the imaginative theming and classic movie nostalgia that makes every part of the resort feel special.
Disneyâs All-Star Music Resort
All-Star Music hits a high note with sections themed after different musical genres, including jazz, rock, country, Broadway, and calypso. It is colorful, energetic, and full of personality.
But what really makes All-Star Music stand out is its family suites â one of the few value-level options that can sleep up to six guests. These suites include a bedroom, a living area with additional sleeping options, two bathrooms, and a kitchenette.
For families needing a bit more space without upgrading to a moderate or deluxe resort, this is the best budget-friendly option on Disney property. Standard value and moderate resort rooms typically accommodate up to four people (plus one infant under 3), so the extra room here is a game-changer for larger families.
Disneyâs All-Star Sports Resort
All-Star Sports celebrates athletics with oversized icons representing baseball, football, basketball, tennis, and surfing. From giant tennis rackets to surfboards taller than your room, it is a high-energy resort that kids (especially sports lovers) will absolutely adore.
While it may be the last All-Star Resort I typically choose, that is just personal preference â the theming is bold and playful, and if you have a future MVP in the family, this could be the perfect fit. Like the other All-Star Resorts, it also has a themed pool, food court, and quick access to Disney transportation.
Value Without Sacrificing the Magic
All three All-Star Resorts provide incredible value while still letting you stay inside the âDisney bubble.â You get that extra dose of pixie dust with every pool party, every themed section, and every cast member interaction â all while keeping your vacation budget-friendly.
You will enjoy:
Easy-to-navigate resorts that are compact and walkable
Fun and safe spaces for kids to play, swim, and explore
All the convenience of staying onsite â no need to worry about driving, parking, or missing out on Early Entry
Ready to Plan?
Disney Resorts are one of my favorite topics to talk about â and where you stay can truly make a big difference in your overall vacation experience. Whether you are team Toy Story or dreaming of a suite that fits the whole family, there is an All-Star Resort that can be a perfect match for your trip.
