Mexico
When you are in Epcot's World Showcase you may be looking for a "country" that has something for everyone. The kids always want to ride on something, see some characters and we are looking for a quick escape to enjoy ourselves (a nice cold adult beverage and a snack). Mexico is the place for all of the above!
Grab a margarita or beer at the quick walk up counter along with some of the best guac and chips you might ever have! Then take the kids to see Donald Duck in his sombrero. He is available for pics a few times an hour. The line is never terribly long and parents can stand in line while enjoying their drinks so it always moves quickly. Win-Win for everyone!
Mexico also offers a shopping village (filled with beautiful handmade Mexican pottery, etc) and a gorgeous sit down restaurant (La Hacienda de San Angel) that is definitely kid friendly and not terribly expensive (although more $$ than the walk up). The restaurant is a replica of a Mexican village situated waterfront next to a volcano. If you take a ride on the Mexican boat ride you will ride right past the restaurant. The boat ride is awesome and just a good old fashion family favorite!
If you happen to venture into Mexico sans children you may want to stop in the La Cava del Tequila de San Angel (a small bar inside the village separate from the restaurant). Great little place to grab a drink and a bite to eat.
Of course, last but not least let your kids make a passport to the World Showcase at Kidcot! They can get a Duffy the Bear at every country, decorate it, get it stamped, and their name written in the language native to that country. This is definitely a nice break from the craziness of the parks but can get very crowded during busy seasons. This is a perfect thing to do during the Wine and Food festival when parents are trying to keep kids occupied/happy while they also try to enjoy themselves.
