Figment or Circle of Life or Ellen's Energy?

[Anya22]

While others in our family are doing Mission: Space Green at Epcot, I need something to do with my 6 year old. Which would you recommend: Journey into Imagination with Figment, Ellen's Energy Adventure or Circle of Life?

Figment is the best of the group. Energy takes like 45 minutes and is pretty dated. I think Circle of Life is getting a refurb and I'm not sure if when it returns it will even be the same movie. It might just be switching to digital which is sorely needed.

I know I'm in the minority, but I love Ellen.

Circle of life is terrible and Ellen's Energy Adventure is fine, but it is incredibly long with no opportunity to escape. Figment is great, though!

Figment.

Ellen takes too long, and Circle of Life is so bad I forbade my friend to see it on her first visit.

I vote Figment, mainly because I don't think Ellen's is bad but it just takes too long.
Circle of Life is currently closed.
What about Living with the Land?

And, the 6 year old might like simply playing in the "advanced training lab" which is the play area at the end of Mission Space, which also makes it easy to keep people together. My 7-year old opted to go there when his older brother did Test Track yet again.

I also vote for Figment! I think that's what a 6 year old would like best. I also agree that he might enjoy playing in the "Advanced Training Lab" after.

Definitely Figment! We did Ellen's Energy Adventure for the first time last summer and hated it. It is way too long and outdated. I think a young child will like Figment a lot better.

Figment, hands down!!

I know I'm in the minority, but I love Ellen.

Yep - me too!


But as a PP mentioned, why not Living with the Land? That's where my vote goes.

Circle of Life is closed. Ellen's Energy Adventure is cool, but parts of it are loud, and it is long, like 40 minutes long, maybe too much to expect a 6 year old to tolerate, and probably a bit longer than the others will take on Mission Space. I would say Figment is the best choice of the bunch.

I would do Figment and the after area (although it's not much anymore). I like Energy but it is long compared to mission space so they would probably be done before you. Circle of Life is ok if you really have nothing better to do, but it really needs updating theater and all.

 

[BrianL]

Actually, I like the idea of the Advanced Training Lab. Just enter through the exit of Mission: SPACE. They have video games and a play area, all space themed. Usually M:S Green will not have a very long wait.

Back when I was a passholder with my parents and little brother, we always reserved Ellen for when we were exhausted and needed to take a power nap. Bring some earplugs and lean against each other and zzzz. If you don't foresee yourself needing a nap, skip Ellen and go with Figment

Ellen is too long (the rest of the group would end up waiting for you) and Figment is too far away (as is Circle of Live which is closed now but I don't know when you're going).

I agree with the play area at the end of Mission SPACE. Go in through the gift shop (down the little hallway where everyone comes out). My son enjoys that way more than the ride. And if you get bored there you could go play at the area at the end of Test Track - it's not as fun but there are cars and places to take fun photos and there usually aren't very many people around. I wouldn't cross the park though.

Oh, if you're there during Flower and Garden you could check out the Festival Center, too which is right there. Mission SPACE is always surprisingly fast and I never wait as long as I think I'm going to.

FIGMENT

It is one of my favorite rides, a "must-do" on every trip. I love the interactive area after the ride.... and I am a grown woman.

 

[CandiceF]

We have 3 kids 9, 6 and 3 and all of them LOVE figment!!!

 

[Hannahinwonderland]

FIGMENT IS SO GOOD AND I LOVE IT SO.

 

[DavidNYC]

Unless the wait for Mission Space is 30+ minutes, definitely Figment! Even better - why don't you do Turtle Talk (or are you all doing that together at another time)? Energy is LONG and I think the first half really boring for younger kids.

Isn't Circle of Life closed or closing?

I'd choose Ellen from your choices even if it is the longer of them.
