All around the World Showcase there will be booths with festival foods. You can also buy over 100 Disney or guest artist art work. These works of art will be on display around the World Showcase. You will find guest artists around the park creating art in front of you.
Do you like scavenger hunts? Well, you should try the searching for Figment scavenger hunt at Epcot!
The Epcot International Festival of the Arts will have a lot of entertainment such as the JAMMitors, Mariachi Cobre, and the Voices of Liberty.
The Voices of Liberty.
You will be able to step inside paintings with photo locations all around Epcot.
Paint By Number lets you do paint-by number murals. This turns into a big master piece!
The World Showcase has many shows that are very unique and interesting. Today we are going to be talking about my favorites!
5. My fifth favorite show is Impressions De France in the France pavilion. This indoor show teaches you a lot about France. Why this show is in fifth place for me is because it is outdated and could use an update. You should still see this show though!
4. My forth favorite show is The American Adventure in The United States pavilion. Benjamin Franklin and Mark Twain talk about American History. This show is very educational and INDOORS!
3. In the Japan pavilion you can watch Matsuriza perform Japanese Taiko Drumming. This outdoor show happens several times a day and I like how this show is different.
2. Reflections of China in the China pavilion is an indoor 360 Vision show located in the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest. This show is awesome! It teaches you a lot about China that you might not have known before. This show was updated and is now renamed Wonderous China.
My favorite show in the World Showcase has to be O Canada! in the Canada pavilion. This show, like the one in China, is a 360 Vision show. This show will educate you about Canada and the host is very funny! This show was updated and is now renamed Canada Far and Wide.
I hope this list will help you find shows to watch while in The World Showcase!
Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie is in the France pavilion and every time I go to Disney World I go to this bakery!
This bakery is filled with different pastries such as eclairs, Napoleons, and chocolate tarts. Just being inside Les Halles Boulangerie Patisserie makes me happy!
Every time I go, I get the macarons!
These always taste delicious. It might have to do with because you are in the France pavilion and that is why the macarons always taste so good!
The macarons deserve 5 Mickey Bars!
If you are looking for a snack while in the World Showcase you should definitely get the macarons!
In Florida it rains A LOT so when it does rain I have found some great activities to do to make the time go by in the World Showcase.
5. The United States of America pavilion is a great place to go when it rains because they have a show called The American Adventure. This show talks about American History. Before the show starts you can listen to the Voices Of Liberty sing patriotic songs. (You should see this before the show starts if it’s raining because you are INDOORS!!) If you don’t want to hear the Voices Of Liberty you can look at the American Heritage Gallery that has American Indian art.
The Voices Of Liberty.
4. The France pavilion has a show called Impressions De France. This show is indoors and when the show is over you walk into Les Halles Boulangerie. They sell pastries and merchandise.
This is some of the merchandise.
3. In the China pavilion, you can watch the indoor 360 Cirle-Vision show called Reflections on China. When the show is over you don’t have to go back in the pouring rain because you walk straight into a big store called House of Good Fortune.
2. The store Mitsukoshi in the Japan pavilion is really big so looking at the merchandise will certainly pass the time while it rains. If you are sick of looking at merchandise you can get your passport stamped and look at the Kawaii display. (It’s all in the same building!)
The best place to go when it is raining in the World Showcase is the pyramid in the Mexico pavilion because you can walk inside the pyramid and spent a long time looking at merchandise, eating at the restaurant San Angel Inn Restaurante, and go on the boat ride Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros. My favorite thing to do in the pyramid is to look at merchandise.
The inside of the pyramid.
I hope this helps you stay dry while in the World Showcase!
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!
The China pavilion is in my opinion, very relaxing because calming music is played in the pavilion.
5. My fifth favorite thing to do is eat at Nine Dragons Restaurant. When I went to this restaurant two years ago I had Salt and Pepper Shrimp with a strawberry smoothie. The smoothie was REALLY GOOD!!
4. I also enjoy watching The Jeweled Dragon Acrobats. This show is a live performance and is performed by kids!
3. Another thing I really like to do in the China pavilion is just look around at the beautiful buildings and peaceful looking lily pads. You should try just walking around in the China pavilion. It really is calming.
2. China, like the Canada and France pavilions, also has its own show called Reflections on China. This indoor 360 Circle-Vision Show explores the monuments of China by showing you images. This show will teach you a lot about China.
House Of Good Fortune is a huge store in the China pavilion that sells jade carvings, stuffed animal pandas, Chinese lanterns, and pieces of crystals just to name a few! This store even made my list of My Top Five Favorite Stores In Epcot’s World Showcase. You should definitely check out this store and that blog article!
The Japan pavilion is one of my favorite pavilions to visit in Epcot.
5. My fifth favorite thing to do is look at Mitsukoshi kiosk. This little kiosk is tiny but it’s fun to look at. This kiosk sells fans, t-shirts, and Minnie Ears with the Japanese flag.
4. My fourth favorite thing to do is watch Matsuriza perform Japanese Taiko Drumming. This performance happens several times a day and you can hear the drumming from everywhere in the Japan pavilion.
3. My third favorite thing is Teppan Edo. Teppan Edo is a restaurant where the chefs cook the food in front of you. Last time I went to Teppan Edo I had Ebi, which is 10 grilled shrimp served with a garden salad, udon noodles, vegetables, and steamed white rice. All the food tasted delicious!
2. Bijutsu-kan Gallery is a display that teaches you about Kawaii, Japan’s cute culture. The display is really well made and it’s interesting to learn about how Kawaii is used.
My favorite thing to do in the Japan pavilion is the ginormous store, Mitsukoshi. I could look around in that store for hours! Mitsukoshi has fans, books to help you learn Japanese, Japanese candy, and much much more! Everything in Mitsukoshi is from Japan too!
If you are going to the Japan pavilion don’t forget to try these things!
Usually, the Food and Wine Festival takes place in the fall but this year it began when Epcot reopened on July 15. (If you would like to read about what rides and entertainment are now open in Epcot click here!)
This year is the longest Food and Wine Festival, lasting from now until the fall. The best part is that Epcot’s International Flower and Garden Festival is also happening! The newest garden edition is Remy in the France pavilion and Remy’s Ratatouille Hide and Squeak Scavenger Hunt is back.
The Eat To The Beat Concert Series is a show where bands at the America Gardens Theater play their biggest hits! Unfortunately though, because of social distancing, The Eat To The Beat Concert is not making an appearance this year.
There is still music because at America Garden Theater local, Epcot entertainment is featuring Mariachi Cobre, the JAMMitors, and more.
You can choose to eat at over 20 stands around the world including Hawaii, the Islands in the Caribbean, and Hops and Barley.

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.

All the masks are so beautiful and well made. You can even make your own Venetian mask!
4. My fourth favorite store in the World Showcase is a shopping area next to the San Angel Inn Restaurant and in the pyramid in the Mexico pavilion. This shopping area has a lot of colorful skulls for the Day of the Dead and cute Minnie ears!

The inside of the store looks cool too!
2. My second favorite store is House of Good Fortune in the China pavilion. This store is big! House of Good Fortune has jade carvings, stuffed animal pandas, Chinese lanterns, and pieces of crystal but my favorite thing about House of Good Fortune is the jewelry!
If you are looking for jewelry you should go to House of Good Fortune!
They have so much jewelry!
Now is for the moment you have been waiting for! My favorite store in all of the World Showcase is Mitsukoshi in the Japan pavilion! This store is GINORMOUS!! If you are looking for a store that will take you forever to look through then this is the one! Mitsukoshi has everything! If you like Hello Kitty or anime, Mitsukoshi has tons of merchandise for you! If you are trying to learn Japanese than Mitsukoshi has books you can use to study!
Mitsukoshi has Japanese candy you can buy too!
If you are going to Disney World in the summer you are going to need a hand fan and luckily Mitsukoshi has tons of fans you can choose from and you can also buy a cover for your fan. I bought a fan at Mitsukoshi a couple years ago and the woman at the cashier wrote my name on the side of the fan in Japanese!
I hope you consider checking out these five stores in the World Showcase because they are my favorite and you will really like them!
