Instead of doing drinking around the world, we tried doing candy around the world with our kids and having them document what they tried in a little notebook. It was surprisingly hard to find candy in some countries. I wish they had a passport of sorts... you could pay ahead and go collect the treats and maybe learn something about the country... like why Canada’s offerings are all maple-flavored.
We have been to Disney parks worldwide a dozen times, including 3 to WDW. We always have a 5 day pass which means double up on one park, usually it has been Animal Kingdom.
This year (daughter just turned double digits) husband and daughter are insisting on going to Epcot twice.
Him for the flowers and food and her for the worldwide exploration. And Elsa. Go figure. I do like Soaring and the variety of cultures.
So I am here to say Epcot Classic still appeals to many for different reasons. Gotta appreciate it while it lasts. Cause tomorrow is a whole new world.

I liked going to Japan and eating food that grossed my parents out as a kid. I will pretty much eat anything. I'm not a picky eater. Both of my parents eat like grade school kids.
My nephew's first trip was in 2019 when he was 5 and we avoided Epcot until the last day because we thought it had the least that would interest him. It wound up being his favorite day, he loved all the Kidcot stations. He was uncertain of most rides, I think we traumatized him a little going on 7DMT first.
I Think Epcot should have more hands on activities with cast members to keep the kiddos more engaged. I see some kids have more fun engaging with cast members than they do on the rides

That is a really good idea! I could even see adults with a sweet tooth participating.
On our last trip, right before we left Epcot, my daughter wanted to fill out her passport with all the countries in the World Showcase. We had already visited all the countries, but she didn't have her passport until right before the end.
So while my wife and son waited for us in the now-demolished rest area in Future World West, my daughter and I started in Mexico and did a quick walk around the world. I wasn't worried too much about stopping and spending time, since we had done that already. We made a "Walk Around the World" in 45 minutes, and got all the countries covered!
Oh man....I’m loving that idea! I like the idea of Epcot, and if it was like $20 for a ticket, it’d be awesome. But it just feels like a “rest” day, not a “$100 worth of entertainment day” to me. (Yes, multi-day tickets...cheaper per day....etc)
I didn’t realize that kids don’t like Epcot. No, our son doesn’t want to spend 3 hours in Canada, but I’m pretty sure he loves spaceship earth, the see with Nemo, frozen ever after, gran fiesta, and so much else.
