World Showcase circles EPCOT’s lagoon with eleven country pavilions. Each has its own mix of architecture, shops, food and entertainment. Several also contain rides or indoor films.
The country pavilions
Mexico
A pyramid houses an indoor marketplace, San Angel Inn and Gran Fiesta Tour. Outside, La Cantina and La Hacienda offer separate dining options.
Norway
Frozen Ever After and Anna and Elsa’s Royal Sommerhus sit beside the Stave Church Gallery. Akershus offers character dining; Kringla is the bakery stop.
China
Reflections of China is a standing Circle-Vision film. The pavilion also has a gallery, gardens, shops, Nine Dragons and Lotus Blossom Cafe.
Germany
The village square has shops, a model railway and quick-service food at Sommerfest. Biergarten combines a buffet with scheduled live music.
Italy
The plaza combines Venetian-style buildings with dining at Via Napoli, Tutto Italia and Tutto Gusto. Check the schedule for outdoor performers.
The American Adventure
The Audio-Animatronics stage show, Voices of Liberty and American Heritage Gallery share the main building. Regal Eagle serves barbecue nearby.
Japan
Mitsukoshi fills much of the shopping space. Dining ranges from Katsura Grill to table-service restaurants; the Bijutsu-kan Gallery and Matsuriza drummers provide other stops.
Morocco
Courtyards, tiled passageways and the Gallery of Arts and History lead away from the lagoon. Spice Road Table and changing food offerings serve the pavilion.
