World Showcase

EPCOT, Walt Disney World

From Asia to Africa, to Europe and North America, World Showcase is the cultural centrepiece of the Walt Disney World Resort. Featuring eleven countries, dotted with landmarks and attractions, you can experience a flavour of what each place has to offer. Stroll through the gardens of the United Kingdom while enjoying fish 'n' chips, take a boat ride through a Mexican fiesta, or watch an educational film about the host countries. Dining, shopping or exploring, World Showcase has something for everyone.

Meeting Disney Characters

Many characters meet in World Showcase in their respective countries. See the countries pages for more details.
  • Mexico - (Mexican) Donald Duck
  • China - Mulan
  • Germany - Snow White
  • Morocco - Aladdin and Jasmine
  • France - Beast, Belle, Aurora, and Marie
  • United Kingdom - Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, Mary Poppins, and Alice
In addition, two other locations around World Showcase sometimes have characters. First, during certain times of the year (typically late Jan/early Feb, late May/early June, and late Aug/early Sept) random characters can sometimes be found outside the World ShowPlace Events Pavilion which is located between Canada and the United Kingdom. Second, at the International Gateway (the entrance to Epcot from the Epcot area resorts) there are sometimes random characters. These can vary greatly.
