EPCOT is becoming our very favorite Walt Disney World park. With recent additions like Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind and upcoming additions including Moana: Journey of Water, EPCOT is a really exciting park to visit. With that said, what sets EPCOT apart for us is the World Showcase. There are so many beautiful pavilions. Each one showcases a different country’s unique culture, cuisine, music, and more.
Many people choose to experience these pavilions by “drinking around the world“, meaning getting a drink in every country. Since we have young kids, we prefer “snacking around the world”. In other words, we try snacks offered at the many bakeries, festival food booths, restaurants, and shops in the World Showcase. One snack that we keep coming back to is the sweet and salty Gingerbread Salted Caramel Cookie Sandwich at Karamell-Kuche.
World Showcase in EPCOT
The World Showcase is one of our favorite places to visit in Disney World. It is something that helps set Walt Disney World apart from other Disney parks worldwide. For those who are unfamiliar, the World Showcase consists of 11 country pavilions surrounding the World Showcase Lagoon. Each pavilion has restaurants, shops, music, and other thematic elements that represent that particular country. Some of them even have themed rides and shows! The countries represented are the following: Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, The United States, Japan, Morocco, France, United Kingdom, and Canada.
