At the Magic Kingdom
Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom card game
This game is free to play and every member of your family with a ticket is eligible to get a pack of cards each day. You will need the cards to defeat the villains and they make a fun souvenir. Just stop into the firehouse at the beginning of main street USA and they will sign you up. There are magic portals located throughout the park. Read more about it over here. *game ended January 2021
A pirates adventure: treasure of the seven seas
This interactive game takes place in adventure land. You will have 5 missions you can complete for cards and if you complete all missions you will receive a card signed by Capt. Jack Sparrow!
At Epcot
Agent P’s world showcase adventure
If your kids are fans of the show Phineas and Ferb they will enjoy playing this game. You will become a secret agent and try and stop Dr. Doofenshmirtz. Each mission will send you through 1 of 7 different pavilions throughout world showcase. This is also fun if you have already seen all the pavilions and are looking to try something new. *Game closed permanently February 2020
located in future world this spot is great place to cool off while trying Coca-cola brand beverages from all over the world. There are a hand-full of machines all with the same flavors and small cups for you to sample from 1 or all 8 flavors. The soda everyone talks most about is Beverly from Italy, it’s meant as a palate cleanser and has a bitter taste.
Kidcot fun stops
Located in each of the world showcase pavilions. In the past you could pick up either a Perry the platypus or Duffy bear to color and then each country will stamp your creation and draw a cute picture usually incorporating their countries flag. This is a great way for the kids to get excited about visiting each pavilion and learning about other countries. Now kids get a ziplock with cards from each country to collect.
In Animal Kingdom
Wilderness explorers
Just like Russel in the movie UP, your kiddos can become a wilderness explorer. You will receive your wilderness explores handbook and complete challenges to earn badges (stickers). The challenges are set up all throughout the park and are geared more towards elementary school aged children but my 4-year-old had just as much fun.
Hollywood Studios
Jedi training: Trials of the temple
Do you have little Star wars fans in your family? Then this is for you. Kids age 4 to 12 can train to be a jedi and then have the chance to fight against either the Seventh sister or Darth Vader himself. This is free to participate but requires registration and you will be given a time to come back. Your best bet is to be there first thing so you can have your choice of time slot. *This activity ended March 2020
