For the Kids
There is something for even the pickiest of your young eaters. My suggestion is that you head with your children to The Land Pavilion where Nestles is hosting a Jr Chef Kitchen at the Sunshine Season Food Fair. There your kids can make original Toll House cookies from scratch and then you get to eat them!!!.

At the Kids Marketplace near Canada your children can enjoy Taco Parfaits, Yummy Sushi made with Rice Krispy Treats and gummy worms, and a Sombrero Spritzer

Don’t forget that Epcot is also the home of Kidstops, these locations offer arts and craft projects from around the world all for free!!!
