While its futuristic theming and wild rides draw in the crowds, it’s the World Showcase Pavilions that truly set EPCOT apart from the other theme parks. Here, you can discover cultures from around the globe, all in the one place…and all under the Florida sunshine.
Plus, with the
2026 FIFA World Cup holidays on the horizon, you can celebrate it around the world at EPCOT!
Mexico
Mexico is one of the most popular pavilions (which may have a little something to do with its hand-crafted margaritas). It consists of a colourful marketplace, a rotating exhibition, and a family-friendly water ride called
The Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros, all set within a majestic pyramid.
With a nod to Disney’s Coco, the Remember Me Folk Art Gallery is a feast for the eyes with its colourful displays of Day of the Dead. And if you’re looking for more than just a feast for the eyes, you’ll find classic Mexican dishes at San Angel Inn or quick bites at La Cantina de San Angel.
Norway
Frozen fans will be in their element at the Norway Pavilion. Embark on the Frozen Ever After boat ride before having a meet and greet with Anna and Elsa. And these aren’t the only Disney characters to be found here…
At Royal Sommerhus, other Disney princesses often appear while you enjoy a fine meal. Although one of the smaller pavilions, it has big offerings. We recommend also paying a visit to Stave Church Gallery where you can learn all about Viking history and uncover fascinating artefacts. And don’t miss the chance to sample authentic Scandinavian bites like school bread at Kringla Bakeri og Kafe.
China
Enter the heart of ancient Asia where stunning architecture, peaceful gardens, and vibrant artistry come together. Highlights include the Temple of Heaven surrounded by serene Lotus ponds, Reflections of China - an immersive film taking guests on a journey through this incredible country, and Jeweled Dragon Acrobats - a live show that is bound to blow your mind.
For those looking to take a little piece of China home with them, the House of Good Fortune boasts delicate silks, jade jewellery, and handcrafted treasures.
Germany
Prepare to be transported to a quaint Bavarian village as you stroll through cobblestone streets and admire timber framed buildings and the prominent Glockenspiel clock tower.
Further joys can be found when you enter Biergarten Restaurant, where you can soak up Oktoberfest spirit all year round, and tuck into a hearty all you can eat buffet to the sounds of a live polka band.
Better yet, if you’re visiting during the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays, you can get a taste of the famous German Christmas markets, home to some of the finest German delicacies you can imagine.
Italy
Think gourmet food, inviting piazzas, and stone fountains. In Italy’s pavilion, you can snap selfies in front of iconic landmarks such as the Venetian Doge’s Palace, then dine on authentic pasta at Tutto Italia or get stuck into wood fired pizza at Via Napoli.
With live opera, street performers, and shops filled with Venetian masks and Merano glass, there’s no shortage of things to take your fancy. And of course, what’s a trip to Italy without sampling some gelato? Gelateria Toscana offers a wide range of gelato and sorbet flavours to choose from.
The American Adventure
Situated at the heart of World Showcase Pavilions stands the tribute to America. Here, you’ll find The American Adventure, bringing pivotal moments of U.S. history to life.
Enjoy acapella performances with Voices of Liberty or spend your dollars on former Art of Disney items in one of the several merchandise shops. During the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival, you can enjoy a host of musical icons with the Eat to the Beat concerts held at America Gardens Theatre, then dive into classic American fare at the Regal Eagle Smokehouse.
Japan
Discover a host of wonders at the Japan Pavilion, from stunning koi ponds to peaceful pagodas, and anime delights. Live entertainment takes the form of Taiko drumming while a taste of Japan can be had at one of the many refined restaurants.
Treat yourself to the likes of sushi, ramen, and the EPCOT drink specialty, Violet Sake. Guests will also enjoy the grand Mitsukoshi Department Store, home to a wide selection of traditional crafts, kimonos, and manga. And kids will be in awe of the cuteness overload found in the Kawaii exhibit.
Morocco
Steeped in North African sensory delights, Morocco is a pavilion not to be missed. Follow the winding streets and uncover the unique bazaars, selling the likes of brass instruments, clothing, and leather goods. Delve into Moroccan culture with stops at The Gallery of Arts and History and the Atlas Fusion Stage, where you’ll be treated to a live band and belly dancers. With fragrant spices filling the air, this pavilion is truly authentic and was commissioned by the King of Morocco himself.
France
Prepare to say ‘oh la la’ with a straight face in the France Pavilion. The first stop has to be Le Creperie De Paris for an authentic crepe breakfast, then revel in the magic of Disney, courtesy of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along.
Next, immerse yourself in Parisian romance with stunning pictures in front of the Eiffel Tower, splash some cash in the charming boutiques, or dine on quality French cuisine in Chefs de France.
United Kingdom
For a little taste of home abroad, the United Kingdom Pavilion, built as a quaint English village, will fill you with comfort. Classic British pub grub is served up at the Rose and Crown or savour another British delicacy, fish and chips, at the Yorkshire County Fish Shop.
And when it comes to shopping in the United Kingdom Pavillion, you’ll be spoilt for choice, with everything from Royal souvenirs to Twining’s finest, and a whole shop dedicated to sports, perfect for World Cup 2026 memorabilia. Plus, if you visit at the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival, you can enjoy English Tea Garden Tours and traditional floral displays.
Canada
Towering totem poles, cascading waterfalls, and a replica of the majestic Hotel du Canada set the scene for the Land of Maple. A must-see attraction is Canada Far and Wide, a mesmerizing immersive film showcasing Canada’s landscapes. For food, you can treat yourself to a succulent steak at the upscale Le Cellier Steakhouse or sample a Canadian classic, maple popcorn.
