Fan Sites Amplify Reddit Warning on Unsupervised Kids at EPCOT Kidcot Stations

The coverage stresses that Kidcot is an educational activity, not a childcare service.

Overview

  • Inside the Magic, Disney Dining, and DisneyFanatic published pieces on October 4 referencing a Reddit post by u/SunInside780 about children left unattended at EPCOT Kidcot stations.
  • The guest’s message urges parents to remain present and monitor their children’s behavior during the activity.
  • Kidcot locations in the World Showcase offer children postcards to color and brief cultural interactions with cast members.
  • The post raises safety concerns such as kids ingesting coloring materials or getting hurt and asserts cast members are not trained or authorized to supervise children or handle medical emergencies.
  • Walt Disney World had not issued an official response at the time of publication, and the reports provide no independent verification of a broader pattern of abandonment.
