[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone stayed at the Wilderness Lodge Villas?  We just booked a vacation there with our extended family and it's our first time going.  It looks nice but I'm not sure how far away it is from things. We have little kids 3 and 7 and only have the tickets that allow one park each day for four days.  I'm considering skipping Epcot since the kids are young and just doing the magic kingdom for 2 days.  Thoughts?  Would they get anything out of Epcot? Can you upgrade your tickets for just a day if we wanted to go there for part of a day?[/quote]

You can upgrade to a ParkHopper pass at any time during your stay, but you'll have to pay to upgrade the whole ticket. For 2+ day passes, I think PH costs $50 now.

We recently went to WDW with a 2.5 year old and spent a good bit of time at Epcot. He loved the Seas (both the Nemo ride and just staring at the aquariums) and he loved all the performers - drummers in Japan, acrobats, some kind of steel drums elsewhere, etc. It's a lot of new stuff to see, which for him works even if it's not designed for kids. There's some kind of scavenger hunt program that your 7 yo might like - I haven't tried it, but I saw lots of kids running around on "missions." With kids that age and limited days, I would consider skipping the Studios rather than Epcot, unless they're really into shows. So many of the rides at the Studios have height limits.

I haven't stayed at the Wilderness Lodge Villas, but when we went with a big group we rented a condo just off-property at Bonnet Creek. So much cheaper (we paid $150/night for huge 3BR), great pools and amenities, and just as close as many of the Disney resorts.[/quote]
