Orlando>Attractions>Theme parks>Walt Disney World>EPCOT> World Showcase EPCOT World ShowcaseIlluminations: Reflections of EarthEvery evening Epcot presents "IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth". This spectacular presentation is centered around the World Showcase Lagoon where fireworks, lasers and dancing fountains combine in a choreographed display performed to an inspirational musical score. Mexico![]() Mexico is the first pavilion on the left as quests enter World Showcase. It is made as a Mayan ziggurat. Outside the temple, vendors wearing traditional Mexican closes sell merchandise from carts. NorwayVisitors can board a 16 passenger Viking-style boat and travel along a 10th century Viking village and through a mythical forest. Then they pass a grand fjord and experience a North Sea storm. ChinaThe Chinese pavilion includes a replica of Temple of Heaven, a temple in the Forbidden City in Beijing. Around the temple there are oriental gardens, ponds and mulberry trees. Traditional Chinese music adds to the soothing ambiance of this peaceful place. Germany![]() Here guest can feel the atmosphere of Oktoberfest party, listen to a Bavarian style music and try Bavarian cuisine, seating at long communal tables. The center of World Showcase's Germany is a typical cobblestoned platz (plaza). The tower at the plaza has a clock that chimes a special melody on the hour. Italy![]() Replicas of the best works of Italian architecture: Doge's palace, Venetian Campanile, Fottana de Netuno. Guests can enjoy Italian music, performed by singer of Naples. The romance of Venice is demonstrated in the Venetian bridges and the gondolas that are moored alongside the World Showcase lagoon. United States: American AdventureThe attraction is housed in a red-brik colonial style mansion, reminding Independence Hall or Boston's Old State House. The rose gardens around the pavilion are unique in that they are all varieties named for U.S. Presidents. Inside the pavilion visitors can hear traditional American folk songs performed by Voice of Liberty, an a capella singing group. The American Adventure show tells about American spirit and history. JapanA red torii gate symbolize Japan at Disney World Showcase. Visitors can also see replica of the 8th-century Horyuji Temple of Nara, koi fish ponds and listen to Matsuriza, Japanese taiko drumming, which is performed several times a day. FranceWhat is France famous for, besides the Eiffel tower? Of course, it's perfume and wine. French perfume is represented here at "La Signature" shop, and wine - at "La Maison du Vin". "Impressions de France" movie is shown at the Palais du Cinema. MoroccoThe spirit of North Africa is captured in the World Showcase Moroccan pavilion: exotic belly dancers, oriental costumes and music. In front of a replica of the Koutoubia Minaret of Marrakesh there is a fountain (inspired by the Nejjarine fountain Fez). And of course, there is an oriental bazaar with street vendors selling brasswares, fezes, leather goods, rugs and jewelry. United KingdomThe historical architecture of England - English Tudor, Georgian, Elizabethan, and English Victorian styles - is featured in the United Kingdom pavilion. Children have a chance to encounter with such characters as Pooh, Alice the Queen of Hearts. In the shops of the pavilion Twinings tea and Pringle sweaters from Scotland are offered.
