I love this pavilion! We've been here in the past to buy French perfume. This time we're here to try a little food. The Brie in a bowl was good, but it wasn't jazzed up with garlic or onion powder. I guess the task was for you to taste the cheese.

The France Pavilion is located near the International Gateway Entrance. If you're entering World Showcase and make a right, you'll have to pass Canada, UK, and go over the bridge. It's the first country once off the bridge. This is one of our favorite pavilions and believe it's one of the best. To start, this pavilion has a show and a ride. The show actually has two options, first thing in the morning and then the last show of the day is the Impressions de France. In between those two shows during the day is, a Beauty and the Beast sing along. We prefer the Impressions de France. Aside from the ride and shows... they have the best food. 3 table service restaurants, 2 quick service, 1 drink location outside that sells wine and slushy cocktails, a walk up wine and champagne stop and then an ice cream shop. During festivals, they always have a booth and this is always one of the longest lines. My wife and I really enjoy this pavilion for the atmosphere. You are really emersed and it makes you feel as though you are in France. Overall this pavilion has a lot to offer. It has a ton of food, a ride (most of the pavilions do not have a ride), a show, shopping, wine, champagne and cocktails. I would definitely recommend checking it out especially when you visit EPCOT.

I love the France Pavilion at Epcot. The food overall was very great and the line was long but it was moving fast. I love the escargot croissant which was very good. We also ordered the red wine braised short rib with potato purée which was very good. I highly recommend eating at the France pavilion.

Tastiest bakery in whole Disney parks right up here in France pavilion in Epcot, love the place! Food is just awesome, creme brule, croissant, sandwiches- everything tastes delicious

They had phenomenal frozen drinks however I was looking for a beer and wasn't a huge fan of what they had. I feel like they should've had another one or some variety at least but the frozen drinks was fantastic.

The France Pavilion is one of the best in Epcot's World Showcase at Disney World. It originally opened in 1982 along several other pavilions. The pavilion was designed to replicate the ambiance of a French village. Some of the primary activities at the France Pavilion is exploring a wide range of shops and boutiques. You can browse through perfumes, wine, gourmet food, and beauty products. Once you're done shopping, you can stroll through the beautiful gardens and fountains, capturing the essence of French architecture. The France Pavilion has some of the best dining options by far at Epcot! The signature restaurant, Chefs de France offers French cuisine and the Boulangerie Patisserie offers an array of pastries and baked goods. You'll also find the L'Artisan des Glaces which has ice cream and sorbet. Another quick service option is Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie that offers sandwiches, quiches, and pastries. The pavilion recently added Remy's Ratatouille ride. I think it recently converted to a stand-by wait line and it also has a purchase lightning lane option. It's a dark, slow ride with some 4D motion picture. The wait time can get a little bit longer, so I'd highly recommend going on the ride first thing in the morning if you can! It's a lot of fun though! There is also the beauty and the beast sing along show. There is so much to do at the France Pavilion. I highly recommend trying out most of the food options!

Oh my yum!! In the sea of countries for the festival of the holidays the France pavilion is an absolute must stop for cocktails. There is a large amount of standing tables behind it with great views of the water and pavilion itself. Only wish there were some sitting tables. We got the hot chocolate martini which was to die for, it is like a chocolate milkshake with vodka. We also got the salted caramel vodka drink which came with an amazing cold foam. Sweet (but not too sweet) and the perfect night cap.

The France Pavilion is definitely one of the best pavilions at Epcot! It feels like one of the bigger pavilions, with tons of different shops that you can check out, great exclusive merch, Remy's Ratatouille Adventure ride, and of course so many delicious restaurants and food stands that is some of truly the best food in all of Epcot! It's a shame that it's located at one of the furthest points at the "back" of the park! If you're eating around the world like I was, it was one of the last pavilions I got to (after rope dropping Remy's ride in the morning before any of the food stalls were open) because I started in Mexico. By that point, it was hot and I was tired and full, so I had no appetite to try much of the delicious food here, but it was such a shame because everything I did try and see tasted and looked SO GOOD! It's such a shame that I am for sure going to approach this with better planning next time and make sure to leave space for the French pavilions goodies next time I go!!!

The France Pavilion is located at the 8 o'clock spot in the World Showcase in EPCOT. The Eiffel Tower overlooks the pavilion and all the themed buildings. One of the big ride attractions is Remy's Ratatouille Adventure. We also went to L'Artisan des Glaces to get their croque glacé which was delicious. As part of the "drinking around the world" journey, we went to Les Halles Boulangerie to get the drink frosé.

Danielle V.

Such a fun stop in Epcot. This has the remy ratatouille ride which is a favorite. They have so many good drink options, from froze to champagne flights. We typically get a champagne flight and it's always great. The food is also really good! The crepes are to die for. It's a large area with lots of seating and lots of shops. Also super beautiful!

Loved this park! We recently went to Epcot (unknown to us,…read moreit was smack in the middle of the garden and flower festival) and had a blast. As a child, I never appreciated Epcot. As an adult, I have quite the different opinion. We went here (all adults, no kids) and had so much fun. We tried a ton of the food stands for the festival, saw all the pavilions and just explored the park! Id say fitting the ENTIRE park in one day is HARD. I'd recommend atleast 1.5-2 days...our feet were hurting (and we were there from open to close) and we didn't get to do all the rides we wanted. The firework show in the evening is spectacular. It's been a long time since I've been to magic kingdom, but from what I remember of that show (from 10+ years ago) the Epcot show is definitely the winner. The entire story, music, lights, and fireworks are breathtaking. If you're going to Disney make sure you don't skip Epcot!

I love all of the festivals but by far flower and garden and Food and Wine are my favorites. I was lucky enough to be there this year during flower and garden and it was absolutely mezmorizing as always to see how they can create these amazing art pieces with nature. They have been adding so many things and building EPCOT up a lot. I did not get to try their new 21 and over bar (GEO-82) but to be honest on hot days the last thing I want to do is dehydrate. I love the Creations shop and the Connections eatery area that was a great addtion. They have added so much to the park over the years that it's now even better than it was before. The World Showcase continues to of course be the top area for most people as the "drinking around the world" trend continues to be a popular trend for many people. To me I just love going there and experienceing just a small bit of other cultures and learning things about other countries. I highly recommend EPCOT to anyone who wants to experience a little bit of magic and knowledge in their day when they decide to visit WDW.

This will allow you to skip the lines at every attraction without needing to select a specific time window. Highlights here are definitely the Star Wars attractions - Smugglers Run and Rise of the Resistance.

The Tower of Terror is another favorite and lives on here with its classic Twilight Zone theming. There are tons of great food and beverage options here, and the staff are consistently very friendly. Definitely plan a visit here on your next Orlando trip!

Now that I've experienced both, I think I'm good. We mainly went for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, which was definitely the highlight of the day. I pre-purchased Lightning Lane and Single Passes, and while they helped for a few rides, it still felt difficult to accomplish everything we wanted. No times ever opened up for Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway, so we ended up waiting in the regular standby line for over an hour. Slinky Dog Dash never became available either, and eventually we just gave up. I honestly don't know where all these people come from -- every Disney park visit seems packed no matter what day we go! One thing I highly recommend is making advance reservations for Oga's Cantina. We were very happy we planned ahead because walk-up wait times were over an hour. The atmosphere was fantastic and it ended up being one of our favorite experiences of the day. I know Hollywood Studios is undergoing a lot of changes in 2026, so hopefully future visits will feel a little more balanced and fulfilling.

It looks fun, but I'm not a fan of roller coasters. There's also Alien Swirling Saucers, a spinning ride similar to Mad Tea Party. Unfortunately, I'm not interested in getting motion sickness. My wife thinks Woody's Lunch Box is fun. It's a counter-service restaurant themed after Sheriff Woody, the iconic cowboy from the movies (voiced by Tom Hanks).

There are loads of Disney employees everywhere who are friendly and ready to help with any questions.

Now after having ridden the ride (think slightly more chill POTC but Frozen themed) it was short enough that anything over 45 minutes would be too much of a wait for it in my opinion. I'd either recommend a LL if they have them or riding it during EE or After Hours - otherwise personally I'd skip it. The boat was wet that we sat in, but seated in the second row I didn't see any splashing. I did find it interesting that the boat flipped backwards and the ride ended up being designed a bit more differently than I expected. All in all, it's a cute ride, but I felt like Remy had more bang for your buck - so unless I'm with someone who hasn't ridden it before (and it's EE/AH) I see myself continuing to skip it in the future.

Tip: If you don't want to get wet, there's a clearly marked "Dry Path" throughout the entire experience. You can still see all the interactive features and the stunning 16-foot-tall Te Fiti figure. We had the Disney PhotoPass Memory Maker package and got some cool photos with Te Fiti (the nature goddess from the 2016 film) and several other beautiful water effects. Historical Note: This attraction is relatively new, opening in late 2023. It sits on the site of what used to be Innoventions West (which was demolished in 2021). Interestingly, while the West building was cleared for this garden, the Innoventions East building was kept and heavily renovated to become the new Connections Eatery and Creations Shop. This whole section of the park has officially been rebranded from Future World to World Nature.

We were able to enjoy Typhoon Lagoon, one of Disney World's two water parks, using the benefit for…read moreDisney resort guests (free water park admission on check-in day). It was easy to enter using the My Disney Experience app, as it already had the tickets under my account, and it was also a quick bus ride from Disney Springs. Towels are complimentary, and lockers have a small fee. Changing rooms are located near the front of the park, and are reasonably ok considering how many people go through them. The floor is paved but pretty hot to walk on, so I still recommend wearing waterproof footwear. Waterproof phone holders are probably the #1 most useful item to bring here, other than sunscreen. There was a surprisingly large amount of people here on a Monday; pretty much all the chairs were taken around the wave pool, and there were scarce empty spots in the humongous body of water with equally gigantic waves. They're not waves for babies or beginners at all - they knock you down and drag you far, even where you think you're far enough, which is pretty rad. While a lot of people were crawling around the park, the wait times weren't too bad. The lazy river, Castaway Creek, was chill. There were people around us all the time, but enough space to still feel comfortable. I was amazed at how long the river went on for, and at how much varied scenery they detailed through the course. I also loved and hated the surprise waterfall you're forced to go under at the base of the mountain. I wasn't able to get through as many rides as I'd hope because of a brewing storm that eventually rained everyone out of the park. There are attractions for people of all thrill levels, though they seem more family-friendly than catered to daredevils. The rides are easy to get on, too - you just walk up, grab an available tube, and wait in line. There are also convenient refreshments littered at all ends of the roundabout park. The theming around the park is fantastic, including the iconic Miss Tilly atop Mount Mayday. Lagoona Gator both welcomes and waves you off at the entrance of the park.
