The France pavilion is a pavilion with a lot of things to do!
Impressions De France is in between the trees.
5. The France pavilion has a show called Impressions De France. This show is NOT a 360 Vision show like the ones in the China and Canada pavilions. My only complaint is this show is a little outdated.
4. My fourth favorite thing is the acrobat show outside. This show happens outside of Chefs de France. I really like this show and I would recommend watching it!
3. There is a tiny stand called Crepes Des Chefs De France that sells amazing crepes! The best part is that the crepes are still warm when you eat them! You can read my review of this stand here.
My crepe was filled with chocolate!
2. I have to tell you now about the pastries at Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie! Located inside of Les Halles, you can choose from many different pastries. I always get the macrons because they are delicious!
I really like the French restaurant called Chefs De France. I went to this restaurant last year and I really enjoyed my food. You can read my review of Chefs De France here.
I hope you decide to check out these shows, snacks, and restaurant because I really recommend them!
This post is a part of the My Top Five Favorite Things series and today I will be talking about my top five favorite restaurants in Epcot’s World Showcase.
5. My fifth favorite restaurant is Spice Road Table in the Morocco pavilion. This restaurant has great outdoor seating where you get a nice view of the World Showcase Lagoon. I always get the Mix Grill Skewers. That is marinated beef and chicken, with garlic and fresh herbs with rosemary roasted potatoes. It is really good. If you would like to see my full review of Spice Road Table click here!
The Mix Grill Skewers!
4. My fourth favorite restaurant in Epcot’s World Showcase is Chefs de France in the France pavilion. This restaurant has a great view of the acrobat show outside. I had the Gratin de Macaroni. It’s really good! If you would like to read my full review of Chefs de France then click here!
The Gratin de Macaroni!
3. Teppan Edo in the Japan pavilion is a really interesting place to eat because the chef makes your food right in front of you! You can read my full review of Teppan Edo here!
The chef making food in front of you!
2. My second favorite restaurant in the World Showcase is Tutto Italia Ristorante in the Italy pavilion. I had lasagna here and it was really good!!! If you want to read about my full review of Tutto Italia Ristorante click here!
The lasagna!
My favorite restaurant in the entire World Showcase is San Angel Inn Restaurante in the Mexico pavilion. I always have the Queso Fundido. That is melted cheese topped with peppers, onions, and chorizo with flour tortillas on the side. The cheese is AMAZING!!!! Click here to read my full review of San Angel Inn!
The delicious Queso Fundido!
If you are looking for a restaurant to eat at in the World Showcase then I would really recommend to try these five restaurants! You won’t be disappointed!
In the France pavilion there is a tiny stand that serves delicious crepes. This stand is called Crepes des Chefs de France.
As soon as you order the crepes they immediately start making it! It’s really cool to see how they make the crepes. Your crepe can be filled with strawberry preserve, chocolate, ice cream, or homemade hazelnut spread and chocolate spread. You can also get a crepe with just butter and sugar.
I ate the crepe with chocolate in the inside. It tasted delicious! The best part was they had just made the crepe so it was still hot when I took a bite.
My brother ate a crepe with butter and sugar. He enjoyed his crepe too.
I give Crepes des Chefs de France 5 Mickey bars!! It is a fun place to stop and get a snack while you are in the France pavilion.
Last year I wrote about the 2019 Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival and it is that time of year again! If you are going to Disney World during these dates then you will be seeing some amazing gardening work that makes the plants look like Disney characters!!
Of course new characters will be making an appearance! Remy will be the centerpiece for a brand new Ratatouille Garden in the France pavilion.
The France pavilion.
Every night you will see new and classic music artists performing during the Garden Rocks Concert Series.
Pooh Bear says hello!
Also, don’t forget to go to the Butterfly House located between the Imagination! pavilion and Soarin’ Around the World. All the butterflies are native only to Central Florida in case some escape and they will not endanger themselves or other natives.
I hope you will get to see the Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival because it is really cool to see.
Chefs de France is located in the France pavilion in Epcot.
This last August was my first time going to Chefs de France since I was really little.
First they give you a baguette.
I ate the Gratin de Macaroni. It was really good and I would really recommend getting it because it tastes a lot better than Kraft Macaroni.
YUM!!!
My mom ate Lasagnes de Legumes du Soleil a l’Huile d’Olive au Thym. That is zucchini, eggplant, bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes baked into pasta. She thought her food tasted delicious.
My dad ate Assiette du Pecheur. That is monkfish, shrimp, cod fish, rice pilaf, peas, and tomatoes. My dad thought it was okay.
My brother had chicken with french fries from the kids menu. He thought his food was good too.
I give Chefs de France 5 Mickey Bars!!
The food tasted good and I don’t remember it taking a long time to get our food.

Happy New Years everybody! Can you believe it’s 2020? I can’t!
Disney World is bringing new restaurants, shows, and more in 2020!
First off, to me this news is just awesome, a new M&M store is coming to Disney Springs! How cool is that!?! The new M&M store will take the place of Curl and Fit2Run stores.
In early 2020 a new restaurant called Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue will be coming to Epcot. Disney has said that this restaurant will be a modern barbecue with a smoker preparing food and a redesigned patio.
Beauty and the Beast Sing-Along will be coming to the France pavilion on January 17, 2020. This new sing along will be similar to For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along that is in Hollywood Studios. (If you would like to learn about For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along click here.)
Also happening on January 17, 2020, both Canada and China will have new Circle-Vision 360 shows. Canada’s show will be named “Canada Far and Wide.” China’s new show will be named “Wondrous China”.
A new show is coming to the land pavilion on January 17 called “Awesome Planet”. This new show will have nature photography, theater effects, and space sequences.
In February a new restaurant will be coming to Epcot. Gosh! Epcot is getting a lot of changes! The new restaurant will be named Space 220 and will be located between Mission: Space and Test Track. I am really excited to see this new restaurant because I really like space and in Space 220 you are able to see space from your table!
Construction of Space 220 back in August!
Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway will be open in Hollywood Studios on March 4. Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway will be inside the Chinese Theater. You will get to be put in the world of a Mickey Mouse cartoon with new technology called 2 1/2 D.
Another attraction expected to come to Hollywood Studios in March is Mickey Shorts Theater. It will take the place of Star Wars: Path of the Jedi theater. Mickey Shorts Theater will have short film just like the show Mickey Mouse on Disney Channel.
On April 17 in Disney Springs, Draw To Life will open. Draw To Life will celebrate the art of animation. It will follow a girl named Julie who tries to finish an unfinished animation piece.
The Swiss Family Treehouse will be closed for refurbishment from April 27-May 3, 202o.
Big Thunder Mountain will also be closing for a refurbishment from May 4-21.
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is coming to the France pavilion in the summer. It will be like the ride in Disneyland Paris with a trackless track. The ride will be Ratatouille themed.
Authentic Creperie is also coming to the France pavilion near Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in the summer. The restaurant will have sweet and savory crepes. It can have a quick-service and table service dining option.
HarmonioUS will be a nighttime show coming this year (we do not know when in 2020). Disney says it will be “a worldwide celebration of Disney music.”
A new resort will be located in the Boardwalk area. It will be called The Cove. It is mostly focused on being for conventions and being group oriented.
Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival is from August 29 – November 23, 2019.
Different booths from different countries are put up around Epcot. They feature outstanding food from different countries.
Did you know you will even be able to meet celebrity chefs like Buddy Valastro from Cake Boss? You will be able to meet celebrity chefs at Sunday Brunch With The Chef. (Click here for more information!)
You can also play Remy’s Ratatouille Hide ‘N Squeak Scavenger Hunt. (While we are on the topic, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure will open in Epcot by Spring of 2020!)
The last time I was at Epcot’s Food and Wine festival, I was two years old, so I only have pictures of the outside of booths from this past August.
If you have ever wanted to taste your way around the world than you should go to the Food and Wine festival.
Every year Disney World changes something about their parks. Here is a list of some of the changes happening to Epcot.
So many new surprises at Epcot!
Now let’s talk about the pavilions. Over in the France Pavilion, Disney is building Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, but it won’t be open until the spring of 2020. This ride is actually open in Disneyland Paris already. Also in the France Pavilion there is going to be a Beauty and the Beast Sing-a-long. It will alternate with Impressions de France, the show that is currently in the France Pavilion. In Canada, the show “O’ Canada” is going to be getting a makeover. In the Japan Pavilion, Disney is opening another table service restaurant.
First of all, the Disney Skyliner will open in the Fall of 2019. It will be a transportation network high in the sky that will take you from Pop Century, Art of Animation, Caribbean Beach and the upcoming Disney Riviera resort to the International Gateway at Epcot and Hollywood Studios. I’m excited! Illuminations unfortunately is being replaced by Epcot Forever, a new night time show that will be playing 80’s music.
Calling all Mission Space fans! A space themed restaurant is opening near Mission Space in 2020.
Mission Space!
I am really excited about these updates and am looking
forward to seeing the rides, restaurants, skyliners and Epcot Forever this year
and 2020!
The France Pavilion is a great place to relax. It is a great pavilion to visit because there is so much to do.
Chefs de France is behind the acrobat show.
Food: Chefs de France is one of the first restaurants you spot in the France Pavilion. The other restaurant is called Monsieur Paul. It is only open for dinner. Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie has croissants, mouthwatering eclairs, mousse, and much more! When I went there I tried the macaroons. They are outstanding! L’Artisan des Glaces is an ice cream shop. It is very popular. Update: La Crêperie de Paris is a restaurant that serves sweet and savory crepes.
Shopping: Souvenirs de France has many classic French souvenirs, such as berets, t-shirts, mini Eiffel Towers and many books about cities, the language, and French artists. This is a store worth checking out.
The acrobat show is awesome!
Entertainment: The France Pavilion does have a show called Impressions de France. Unlike the shows in the China and Canada, you get to sit and watch it like at a movie theater. The show is a little outdated but it’s still a great show. Update: Impressions de France has been replaced with Beauty and the Beast Sing Along. Belle from Beauty and the Beast is available in France for autographs and photos. There is also an acrobat (Serveur Amusant) that performs most of the afternoon. It is a fun and exciting show! France is also getting some new attractions. Ratatouille: The Adventure will be similar to the ride in Disneyland Paris. Chef Skinner will chase guests through Gusteau’s Parisian restaurant on a trackless ride. Can’t wait! Update: Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure opened on October 1, 2021.
Hello everyone! Today I thought it would be a great idea to interview my little five year old brother Al. Here is how it went:
Izzy: Hi Al, I hope it’s okay if I interview you for my blog?
Al: Okay.
Izzy: Which is your favorite park?
Al: You know it. Epcot because it has my two favorite rides, Test Track and Spaceship Earth.
Al’s car at Test Track.
Izzy: Why are Test Track and Spaceship Earth your favorite rides?
Al: Test Track because you get to design your own car and the ride goes really fast. Spaceship Earth because at the end you see the moon, you ride backwards and I like the music. That’s all.
Izzy: Do you have a favorite pavilion in Epcot?
Al: I like Canada because there is a show called “O Canada!” and at the end he says, “I have a fastpass for Soarin’. Hate to miss it.”
Izzy: Do you have a favorite snack at Disney World?
Al: The ice cream sandwich!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Macarons might be second.
Izzy: In Disney World the macarons are available in the France Pavilion. Do you have a favorite restaurant at Epcot?
Al: Garden Grill! I love that one!
Izzy: Who is your favorite Disney character?
Al: I don’t know.
Izzy: That is okay. Do you like when we stayed at Epcot until nine pm to watch Illuminations? (this is the light show)
Al: Yes I did.
Izzy: Al, do you know how many times you have gone to Disney World?
Al: Six times.
Izzy: Correct! Alright everyone, I think that’s all the questions I had for Al today. Thank you Al for letting me interview you.
Al: Okay, bye!
