Top 10 Best Pavilions in Epcot's World Showcase
The Japan Pavilion is marked by a towering pagoda and serene gardens inspired by traditional Japanese design. Guests can experience Japanese culture through shops selling kimonos and bonsai, along with dining options featuring sushi and teppanyaki. It probably has the best gift shop in all of World Showcase.
The France Pavilion includes replicas of Parisian landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and features cobblestone streets and charming cafés. Visitors can savor French pastries, wines, and perfumes or watch the "Impressions de France" film. It should be placed above Italy.
The Morocco Pavilion showcases the architecture and design elements of a traditional Moroccan village, with detailed mosaics, archways, and a replica of the Koutoubia Minaret. Visitors can explore shops and restaurants that offer authentic Moroccan goods and cuisine. Disney should set their next Lion King/Frozen-caliber blockbuster in Morocco. This would likely lead to Disney adding a ride based on that movie to the Morocco pavilion, which could greatly benefit from a popular E-ticket attraction.
This is the greatest pavilion in all of World Showcase. Anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong.
This should definitely be in the upper half of the list, at the very least.
The United Kingdom Pavilion features a blend of British architectural styles, from medieval castles to Victorian storefronts. Guests can enjoy traditional British dishes and shop for items like tea, sweets, and soccer merchandise. This should be ranked much higher than China.
The Mexico Pavilion is dominated by a pyramid inspired by ancient Mesoamerican temples, with an interior featuring a marketplace resembling a Mexican village at twilight. Attractions include boat rides and traditional Mexican dishes. The food, the design, and it's the only country to have a ride besides Norway.
The Norway Pavilion showcases traditional Norwegian architecture and mythology, including a stave church and Viking themes. Guests can enjoy Norwegian cuisine, browse cultural exhibits, and take the Frozen Ever After ride. Definitely the best one!
The Italy Pavilion draws inspiration from Venice and Rome, with detailed recreations of iconic architecture such as the Doge's Palace and a Roman fountain. Visitors can dine on Italian cuisine and explore shops with Italian goods like wine and leather.
The China Pavilion includes a replica of the Temple of Heaven and features gardens, ponds, and traditional Chinese architecture. It offers a film presentation about China's landscapes and culture, along with shops selling Chinese art and souvenirs.
The Germany Pavilion evokes a Bavarian village, complete with timbered houses and a central square with a clock tower. It offers German food, beer, and shopping for items such as steins and hand-painted Christmas ornaments. I hope to see a Tangled boat ride added to this pavilion one day. Hopefully, it will have more conflict than the one in Tokyo.
The American Adventure Pavilion reflects Colonial-style architecture and includes a theater that presents a historical show about the United States. Visitors can also experience American cuisine and live performances at the American Gardens Theater.
The Canada Pavilion highlights Canada's natural beauty and diverse architecture, with a replica of the Canadian Rockies and Victoria-style buildings. It offers Canadian food specialties and the "Canada: Far and Wide" film showcasing scenic landscapes.
