    Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros dark boat ride at Mexico Pavilion at World Showcase at EPCOT at Walt Disney World Resort.
    Daniel B.

    Mexico Pavilion is home to one of my favorite rides in all of Disney World: the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros. Aside from that, this pavilion is unique in that it is located mostly indoors, inside a Mesoamerican pyramid. Inside, the Plaza de los Amigos marketplace recreates the feel of a moonlit Mexican town square. From the plaza, you can watch the Gran Fiesta Tour boats float by against a backdrop of a 'distant' smoking volcano and ancient ruins. A permanent art exhibit titled "'Remember Me!' - La Celebración del Día de Muertos" (Coco) and other artwork like Animales Fantásticos is neat to look at, and there are often live artists on-site--like wood carvers--creating new pieces. Mexico is one of 11 nations represented in EPCOT's World Showcase. If you are walking clockwise starting from Mexico, the pavilions order is: 1. Mexico 2. Norway 3. China 4. Germany 5. Italy 6. The United States (The American Adventure) 7. Japan 8. Morocco 9. France 10. United Kingdom 11. Canada While there are 11 today, only nine were there on opening day in 1982. Morocco was added in 1984, and Norway was the final addition in 1988.

    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.

    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!

    Avocado margarita
    Mark M.

    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 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.

    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!

    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!

    EPCOT Is the Perfect Blend of Disney Magic, Food, Culture, and Adventure…read more Our recent visit to EPCOT was one of the highlights of our Disney vacation! We spent days exploring the different pavilions, enjoying incredible food and drinks, shopping, and experiencing the attractions. EPCOT truly offers something for everyone, and we loved how every part of the park felt like a different experience. We enjoyed visiting the World Showcase, sampling foods and beverages from around the world, and taking time to explore the unique details in each pavilion. From Germany and Japan to France, Canada, Mexico, and beyond, there was always something new to see, taste, or experience. We also enjoyed some amazing meals and snacks throughout the day, including Le Cellier, Le Chefs de France, Biergarten, Kringla Bakeri, La Cava de Tequila, San Angel Inn, and several other stops along the way. One of the best things about EPCOT is that you can create your own experience. You can focus on the attractions, spend the day enjoying the food and drinks, explore the cultural details, shop, or simply take your time walking around and soaking in the atmosphere. We did a little bit of everything, which made for a perfect Disney day. As two adults, we especially appreciated the food, beverages, cultural experiences, and relaxed pace that EPCOT offers. Every visit gives us something new to discover, and this trip was no exception. EPCOT remains one of our favorite Disney parks, and after our recent visit, we are already looking forward to returning!

I skipped most of the big rides since I'm not a ride person so that definitely helped. Even though I wasn't stuck in lines, it was very crowded in all of World Showcase. I felt like it detracted from the facade a little. I loved that they had a little passport to buy that you can get stamped at each country. I put my stickers on incorrectly and they were very confused and sometimes a little rude about it. I also couldn't find all the Kidcot stations to get a stamp. Not something I wanted to go out of the way for to get them all but a pretty cool idea for a souvenir overall. This was my first visit to Epcot. I thought it was easy to navigate. There were plenty of restrooms and plenty of places to duck into for some air conditioning as needed. The line to get in moved very smoothly considering it was just a huge mass of people heading to the entrance. Journey of Water actually ended up being my favorite part which was surprising to me. Just magical enough plus a good place to cool off. Spaceship Earth and Living With the Land were pretty cool. I also don't know how people eat and drink around the world. I started in Mexico and got full in Mexico so apparently I was doing it wrong. I do think it would be a lot easier during one of the festivals when they have sample sizes.

Giant game pieces, oversized footprints, building blocks used as architecture, and Christmas lights strung overhead as decoration all reinforced the scale in a way that rewarded me for actually looking around rather than just moving from ride to ride. Slinky Dog Dash is the anchor attraction and delivered as a family coaster that works for a wide range of ages. It is smooth, fast enough to feel exciting, and the Toy Story theming throughout the track layout is well integrated. Wait times regularly stretch past an hour, so prioritizing it early in the day or using Lightning Lane is the practical move. Toy Story Mania is an interactive 4D shooting game that holds up across multiple rides and was genuinely competitive and fun for my group. Alien Swirling Saucers is the gentler option that skews younger, but it is an easy yes for anyone who does not mind spinning. Woody's Lunch Box is worth building a meal or snack stop around. The totchos and grilled cheese are the items that keep coming up for good reason, and the Lunch Box Tarts are worth grabbing for dessert if I want something to eat while I keep moving through the land. The one consistent practical note is that the area has very little shade and gets genuinely hot during the middle of the day. Coming in during the early morning or staying into the evening is the right call. At night the land takes on a different quality with the lighting, and it is worth lingering in if my park day extends into the evening hours.

    Disney continues to prove why it's in a league of its own…read more This trip, we opted for the after 2:00 p.m. tickets, and I highly recommend it. We were able to enjoy slow mornings, have a relaxing brunch, skip the early rush, and still enjoy full evenings in the parks. Even in mid-July, the crowds were much lighter than expected. The Florida heat and humidity were no joke, but bringing cooling fans made a huge difference. We also purchased Lightning Passes, and they were worth every penny. Because of the heat, we focused more on indoor attractions and shows, which ended up being a great strategy. My only suggestion? Disney could use a few more water rides across the four main parks, not just at the water parks. The parks were spotless, Cast Members were consistently friendly and helpful, complimentary water cups were easy to find, and somehow Disney's famous mosquito control system really does seem to work. We barely noticed any bugs, which is pretty remarkable for central Florida. A special thank you to Megan from Kansas State, who was working in Frontierland. She spent extra time answering our daughter's questions with so much kindness and patience. Then, completely unexpectedly, she surprised our family with VIP viewing passes for the parade and fireworks in a private viewing area. It turned an already wonderful day into a memory we'll never forget. Even with the scorching heat, the Disney magic never melted. In fact, I'd say the magic was on fire.

Even though this is a walk-through journey, just like the other rides, you cannot take a stroller into this exhibit.

There's a spot where you can jump and the water will respond, and a section where you can raise your arms for a similar effect. There's a wet and a dry path for folks to choose, though I don't think I got wet almost at all but for the time when I placed my hand in the water, and that was walking the wet path. It can get slick in spots though. And there's a PhotoPass opportunity on the path, so you can get a fun photo with Te Fiti in the background.

As of May 2026, the last one takes place at 3 p.m. Don't forget your autograph book!

    I came to Disney's Typhoon Lagoon after experiencing an actual typhoon in my bathroom. I was…read morepeacefully soaking in the bathtub when the water began to swirl, the porcelain groaned, and I was swept away into the mysterious tropical wilderness of Disney World. There, I encountered a peculiar spirit who led me directly to the wave pool. A tremendous wave crashed over me, releasing the spirit from my body--and, in a touching gesture of supernatural gratitude, he purchased me a cup of Dippin' Dots. In all seriousness, Typhoon Lagoon is one of my favorite water parks. The wave pool is fantastic, and Castaway Creek--the lazy river--is wonderfully relaxing. There are plenty of rides for thrill-seekers, while the entire park is beautifully themed around the aftermath of a tropical storm. Even the walking paths are thoughtfully designed, with little water sprayers keeping the pavement damp so your feet don't feel as though they're marching across the surface of the sun. There are plenty of dining and drinking options throughout the park, and the atmosphere is cheerful, immersive, and unmistakably Disney. The after-hours event is also a tremendous amount of fun, especially with the park illuminated at night. Seeing the slides, palm trees, wave pool, and storm-tossed scenery glowing after sunset gives the place an entirely different personality--almost as if the typhoon itself has returned from beyond the grave. Whether you want to relax, ride some excellent attractions, float along the lazy river, or be spiritually cleansed by a six-foot wave before receiving complimentary Dippin' Dots from a benevolent ghost, Typhoon Lagoon is well worth visiting.

    Visiting Typhoon Lagoon was my first time at a Disney water park, and it did not disappoint! It was…read morethe perfect way to beat the Florida heat while still getting that Disney magic. The wave pool was hands down the coolest feature. Watching those giant waves roll in was so much fun and unlike any other wave pool I've experienced. I could have spent hours just hanging out there. The lazy river was nice and relaxing, but be prepared to exercise a little patience if you're hoping to grab a tube since they can be in high demand throughout the day. Pro tip: get there right at opening if you want to snag a lounge chair. They go quickly, especially on busy days. Another perk? Disney provides as many towels as you need, which was a nice touch and one less thing to worry about packing. Overall, Typhoon Lagoon is a great way to cool off, relax, and have some Disney fun.
