We were just there less then a month ago. 10:20am ps. Now 1st off, we lost my sister (who was with dd1) after dh, dd4 & I got off TT & it was already 10:15am by then. I guess we did not realize how BIG Epcot is & how far it is to get from TT to Norway (especially when you don't know where you are going). So I sent dh & dd4 ahead while I searched for sis (this is when I was kicking myself for not bringing the walkie talkies - sitting back at the hotel, or cell phones). Anyway, I found sis & baby who had fallen asleep. Dh had taken the stroller so sis carrying baby & I RAN all the way to Norway in 90+ degree heat! Baby did not wake up - hee hee, but boy were we sweaty! As it turned out we had to wait about 15 minutes anyway! DD4 could see the princesses (Belle, Jasmine, Mary Poppins, Snow White & Mulan - no Aurora, I was wondering if Disney was phasing her out to try to force people in to the $200 Tea Party to see her) so it was hard for her to be patient but the CM's outside kept us entertained by teaching us how to say Thank You in Norwegian (toosen tag) & we did some pin trading. Anyway, we got in & there are 2 sections of the restaurant so we were in a different section & as the other section cleared out I think they started setting up for lunch over there 1st. We got our fruit & juice/coffee etc. Just as our breakfast was coming out the princesses came to our side of the restaurant (so of course dd could not concentrate on eating!). I felt the princesses were quite rushed (especially after watching it on video which the character interaction honestly takes about 5 minutes for all 5 princesses) but part of it may have been my daughters fault. They all took pics with her & with dd1 & they all signed her autograph book but dd4 got so shy & tongue tied that she would not really say anything to them! Finally she asked Jasmine about Alladin & Jasmine talked a bit to her (yes, she was DH's fave too, he made her BEND OVER to get a pic with dd1 in the high chair so we have her cleavage all over our pics & video - hee hee). Mulan was the most hurried but I think she is the least known. Then they were gone so we could enjoy our meal!
Epcot was totally dead this time of year & it turned out to be the best day we had! We loved WS. DD4 loved doing the masks & penny presses in each country (we only made it half way). DH & DD did an impromptu dance while the mariachi band was playing in Mexico. No waiting for Maelstrom & El Rio del Tiempo! Next time I would plan for 3 days in Epcot. It was so enjoyable & relaxed. Also the characters ended up being in their countries with NO ONE there so dd just ran up & gave Snow White a huge hug in Germany! We saw Mulan in China with no one trying to get her pic or autograph. So I think we probably could have seen the characters outside of the breakfast.
So don't think your dd5 will not like Epcot. We just loved it.
