    The Mexico Pavilion is located inside the Epcot. It is part of the World Showcase, which is a section of the park dedicated to representing different countries. I am so happy that I got to experience this magical place where I felt like I was actually back in Mexico experiencing some of its culture and traditions. The Pavilion's exterior is modeled after ancient Mayan and Aztec structures, specifically the El Castillo pyramid at Chichen Itza and the Temple of Quetzalcoatl at Teotihuacan. Once you are inside, you'll find shops, restaurants (including the San Angel Inn), a bar, and carts selling Mexican crafts and goods. In the evening, the place is coverted to night time lighting and is so beautiful! You can sign up for a gentle boat ride that takes you through the sights and sounds of Mexico, featuring Donald Duck and his friends. It's really beautiful at night. While dining at San Angel, you can watch the boats float by. The entire time there is lovely Disney music playing. This was a very worthwhile experience and I would love to return again.

    Avocado margarita

    Avocado marg was insanely smooth and light. Not boozy at all. The chicken mole tamal was also very good. Great chocolatey mole with little to no spice. Chai fiesta margarita tasted like Christmas. Touch of rosemary. Overall worth the try!

    The Mexico Pavilion is located at EPCOT in World Showcase. It is my favorite pavilion and the first one you will hit if you turn left. To start, Mexico Pavilion has a ride. It is located inside the main building, the temple you see out front. The ride is a slow moving boat ride where you travel through Mexican cities with the 3 Caballeros. The pavilion also has a pretty large gift shop with tons of options. For food, they offer 2 table service restaurants (one inside and one on the water), 1 quick service (outside), 1 drink location outside that sells margaritas and a couple of snacks and then a tequila bar located inside. This probably has the most food options out of all the countries. All of the food options are great! We have been to all of them and would recommend each one. My wife and I always make a point to visit the the tequila bar, La Cava del Tequila on every visit to the park. They have a few tables you can sit down and have a drink there but most people get their drinks to go. Side note the table service which is located outside the pavilion, is only open for dinner. I love this pavilion number one because the AC is just amazing! It is so hot especially in the summer and this has one of the best if not the best AC. It is incredibly nice and cool inside. My only negative is they need more seating inside and because of the popularity this pavilion is always crowded. If you go to the tequila bar to grab a drink, there is no where for you to sit. It would be nice to have a bench or small tables to sit and enjoy your cocktail. There are tables outside in the quick service, but honestly in the summer its really tough. As I mentioned you can sit inside and get a table, which could be wait. This is what we prefer to do. Overall this pavilion has a lot to offer, it has lots of food options, a ride (most of the pavilions do not have a ride), shopping and lots of cocktails. It is nice and cool inside, it's dark and again it has strong AC. It is a great spot when the heat is really getting to you and it allows you to head inside and cool down. I think this pavilion is just right!

    The best ride in the park!

    EPCOT's Mexico Pavilion - A Hidden Gem Tucked Inside a Pyramid If there's one spot in EPCOT that feels like you've stepped into another world, it's Mexico. This pavilion has vibes, plain and simple. The music, the atmosphere, the marketplace -- everything just hits different here. You walk into a towering Mayan pyramid, and instantly, you're wrapped in the glow of twilight lanterns, the hum of mariachi music, and the smell of fresh chips and guac floating through the air. It's indoors but feels like nighttime in a Mexican village. Disney magic at its best. Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros This is one of those EPCOT classics that's easy to miss but never should be skipped. Hop in a boat and cruise past a smoldering volcano, through vibrant towns, and into Donald Duck's hilarious misadventures with Panchito and José. It's charming, colorful, and rarely has a long line. It's the kind of ride that makes you smile the whole time -- and one I always make time for. La Cava del Tequila Let's talk tequila. This tiny, tucked-away tequila cave is a must-do for adults in EPCOT. The margarita menu is legendary (yes, I said legendary), and the vibes are chill and classy. You want bold? Go for the Jalapeño Margarita. Want something creamy and unexpected? That Avocado Margarita will convert you. I usually grab one mid-afternoon while strolling through World Showcase -- it's a perfect cooldown moment. San Ángel Inn Restaurante Dining inside the pyramid under that forever twilight sky? Absolutely magical. Tables overlook the indoor river, and you can watch boats from the Gran Fiesta Tour glide by as you eat. The setting is unmatched. Food-wise, you're looking at traditional Mexican dishes with Disney flair -- I've had a few meals here over the years and the ambiance always elevates the experience. The Marketplace This pavilion has some of the most unique shopping in all of EPCOT. Hand-painted pottery, Day of the Dead souvenirs, embroidered clothing -- it's authentic, colorful, and feels like a real mercado. My family loves wandering through here -- especially when we need a break from the Florida heat. Mariachi Cobre Outside the pyramid, don't miss Mariachi Cobre. These guys bring the soul of Mexico to life. Live music, talent, culture, and passion -- it's a beautiful moment every time. And if you've got a snack or margarita in hand while they're playing? That's peak EPCOT. Gregory's Tip: Midday is the best time to visit Mexico. The interior is cool and shady, the tequila bar hits right when you need it, and it's a perfect reset before continuing around the world. Bonus: you can usually walk right on Gran Fiesta Tour and score a break from the crowds. This pavilion sets the tone for the entire World Showcase. It's rich in detail, relaxing but full of energy, and always worth the stop. Whether I'm here with family, grabbing a drink, or just soaking it in on a casual EPCOT day -- Mexico is a vibe, a retreat, and a must-do.

    Dinner went fantastic, server was outstanding and super friendly. I celebrated my birthday it was fabulous. A tiny bit overpriced for Mexican door that was just well Mexican food but we enjoyed the experience.

    Jody M.

    We always love Mexico for a meal. The ambiance is the best country in Epcot. The lighting and effects and everything make you feel like you are no longer in Disney. It's like you are really in Mexico. The food was amazing and the service was good. But just come for the experience. We enjoyed shopping and riding the ride as well Next time I will have to leave room for dessert! We were all so full!

    This building is amazing. The decoration looks great and the ride is so fun. But what tops all of that is the restaurant. The food is so good. We eat there every time.

    Mexico Pavilion is located in Epcot World Showcase. As soon as you walk into the Pavilion, you'll see a A pre-Colombian pyramid. When you enter the Pyramid to Plaza de Los Amigos, you'll notice a lot of Coco themed inspiration within the Pavilion. There are several gift stores, one of my favorite restaurants, San Angel Inn Restaurant, and the ride Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros. This attraction features Donald Duck, Jose Carioca, and Panchito. Its based on Disney's 1944 animated film The Three Caballeros. It's a slow, dark boat ride. San Angel Inn Restaurant overlooks this ride. You'll also see a beautiful Mayan pyramid in the background. The food is absolutely amazing at this restaurant. The ambiance is awesome. It reminds me of the blue bayou at Disneyland. Outside, the Mariachi Cobre performs 25-minute sets as a traditional Mariachi band. There are several dining locations such as La Hacienda de San Angel is one of the table service dining options in Epcot. Another good choice is La Cantina de San Angel. This restaurant is located outside across the pathway. It serves some delicious food such as tacos, churros, tostados, Mexican beer, and margaritas. This is one of my favorite spots to stop by in Epcot!

    Experience Mexico without being murdered by a drug cartel! They have 2 (that's dos) excellent sit down restaurant options, a counter service spot and a dedicated margarita spot which I think also serves tacos (tacos). And during special events, there's a pop-up kiosk place that serves additional items. The have a ride which is kind of fun and low-key, but not worth waiting in any big line. The pyramid itself has some cool displays when you go in and is very Day of the Dead (Dies de los Muertos) oriented. Further in, there's a market (mercado) setup where you can get different kinds of merchandise (novelty tequila t-shirts, skulls, Mickey ears, etc.). It's one of the first when you enter the world (mundo) showcase from the main entrance (go left) and still the best. Way better than Canada's Pavillion!

    Danielle V.

    One of my favorite pavilions in Epcot. We always start here! They have some good restaurants and good quick service spots. They have the best bar where you can get tequila drinks. We always get the avocado margarita and walk around the shops. Then we ride the ride that is inside.

    If you're NOT a frequent visitor or annual passholder, and you're planning a trip to EPCOT, do…read moreyourself a favor--start researching at least two months in advance! My husband and I first returned in 2021, thinking it would feel similar to when we brought our boys back in 1998... not even close. Technology has completely transformed the experience. Not in a bad way--but if you're not prepared, it can be overwhelming and honestly a little frustrating. After that visit, I knew I needed a better game plan. This time, I booked early--about six months ahead--directly through Walt Disney World and bundled our hotel and park tickets, saving around $1,600. I also spent time watching YouTube vlogs to relearn the park layout and get Park tips, which made everything so much easier. NOTE: Disney is extremely app-driven. I highly recommend pre-purchasing a MagicBand. It acts as your room key, park ticket, Lightning Lane access, and even your credit card. Having everything on your wrist is incredibly convenient. Speaking of time-saving-- we splurged and purchased the Lightning Lane Premier Pass. In 2021, we waited in lines up to two hours and barely got on rides. This time, with the Premier Pass, our waits were typically 5-20 minutes. As a Baby Boomer, I can confidently say--it was absolutely worth the splurge. BTW, there are single rider lines which are complimentary. Another small but "You'll Thank Me Later" tip: cushioned sneaker inserts. You can easily walk 8+ hours a day, and your tootsies will thank you. We visited the week before Easter during the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, and it was stunning. The flowers and topiaries were incredible, and the outdoor kitchens added a fun (and delicious) touch. Being able to simply tap my MagicBand to pay for food made everything seamless. Bottom line: taking the time to plan ahead completely changed our experience. We rode everything we wanted, avoided long lines, and truly enjoyed the park. If you're heading to EPCOT--go in prepared, and you'll have an amazing time.

    My boys are older and this was an even more amazing visit to Epcot. I am confident we were able to…read morevisit most of the shops, quick service restaurants, and attractions in the park. Our latest visit was in April and we loved the festival of flowers, which meant even more small bites in the World Showcase. Food-wise, we loved everything we purchased: margarita, Chinese quick service, funnel cake, iced coffee, soft serve ice cream, burgers and fries. The new Ratatouille attraction was so much fun and Paris seemed more full with shops and food. The app was helpful to guide us to attractions with a shorter wait. A few offer single rider seats and the wait is much, much shorter. This park provides a good balance of things for all ages.

    We came here in 2025 and again in 2026 for the kid's birthday…read more There is a lot to say and most of it has already been said, so I will just summarize. -go early in the day. -bring your own water bottle (March 2026 the cheapest bottle of water was $4.25) -get a lightning pass and use it for rides, not shows -be prepared for lots of walking. Wear walking shoes. If it is spring or summer, bring sun screen. -be prepared for LOTS of people (if they drive like they walk, no wonder the US has such a high vehicular fatality rate). Be patient. -be prepared to overpay for just about everything. But oddly, the $300 per person multi-park ticket is a good deal. Why? Because you get so much entertainment. There are loads of Disney employees everywhere who are friendly and ready to help with any questions. They all are paid, so the $300 is actually not a bad deal when you consider how many employees there are in each park, how clean the parks are, and all the upkeep to maintain the animals and rides. -if you get tired, and you will, take a break. It's not fun if you get so tired that you get cranky. -Don't forget to enjoy the smiles on the kids' faces!

    This year I opted for Epcot After Hours since I was getting in late enough that a day park ticket…read moredidn't make sense, so I made sure to ride Frozen Ever After because there's always a massive line whenever we've been to Epcot. 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.

    Back a few years later and we definitely wanted to experience Frozen's boat ride again. There's no…read moreoptions for single riders so we had to commit to the standby line, which is going to be a solid 30-60 minutes throughout the day. Frozen fans will love the scenes and music. As adults we loved the directional changes of the boat and small drops. You may feel water get in the boat - minimal but a few damp bottoms. Great ride for all ages.

    Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana is a great casual attraction at EPCOT; "casual" because it…read moretypically uses a standby entrance with little-to-no wait, allowing you to just stroll through at your own pace. Located in World Nature, the attraction is entirely outdoors. During the hot Florida summers, my wife likes to come here to get misted and cool off. It's almost like a high-end splash pad with interactive water features that respond to your movements. It has a fun, playful vibe. It's a nice break from the more intense rides. 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.

    This water park is so amazing, it really feels like being in the world of Moana. There are several…read morewater sprouts, some are interactive, where it recognizes people's hand and body movement and shoots out water accordingly. The cameras are smartly hid inside birds' nests. The whole place is very green and you get the tropical vibes. There are fountains. There's a beautiful display of Ti Fiti, the green tree lady. There's photoshoot spot next to it for guests with Disney Photo Pass. It takes about 5-10 to explore the whole space. There's no line or anything.

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.
