    Love the panel! We are going Sep. 2012 and working on our Epcot plan. We have twin 5 year olds w/ 6 days @ WDW. Should we split Epcot up? Is a stroller necessary? Best game plan for hitting the highlights?

    Thanks for the sweet words, Jodie!  My name is also Jodie and it is truly our pleasure here at the Mom's Panel to assist guests with their Disney Vacation planning questions. As a mom of seven-year-old twins, I can honestly say that when my twins were five it was very nice to have a stroller with us. The amount of walking can get to be a bit much and usually by noon one or both of our boys were in the double stroller especially on longer vacations with multiple park days. I don't think it is necessary to split Epcot up into days if that is what you meant. However, we do split the park up into Future World and World Showcase for easier park touring.  We always visit Future World first thing in the day since there are more attractions (ride on) that my children enjoy. You will definitely want to visit Spaceship Earth, Soarin, The Seas with Nemo and Friends, and Living with the Land in the Future World area of Epcot. We then like to walk around World Showcase while enjoying the entertainment and other attractions found in each country. To be perfectly honest, my twins have not yet been able to last (attention wise) through every country.  We usually choose two or three countries per trip to explore. Make sure to book an Advanced Dining Reservation at one of the table-service restaurants in World Showcase for an exciting and delicious cultural dining experience. Our favorites include Teppan Edo in the Japan Pavilion, Les Chefs de France in the France Pavilion, and Le Cellier Steakhouse in the Canada Pavilion. I am out of room, but please feel free to write me back with any additional questions you may have. Best wishes for a Magical September Trip, Jodie!
    Happy Planning,
    Jodie
