The Pavilions The following is a breakdown of the eleven countries in World Showcase (starting clockwise from Mexico) and what changes they have gone through over the years. The Epcot Explorer's Encyclopedia Overlooked Attractions at Epcot Feature Article This article appeared in the November 23, 2010 Issue #583 of ALL EARS® (ISSN: 1533-0753) Editor's Note: This story/information was accurate when it was published. Please be sure to confirm all current rates, information and other details before planning your trip. More than a few years ago, AllEars® ran a series of features on what we called "Overlooked Attractions" around the parks and resorts.

You've probably ridden "Living with the Land" in the Land pavilion at least a few times. "Whimsical ways with water" almost seems to be a theme throughout Future World, and that theme begins with Epcot's famous Dancing Fountain.

Epcot’s Les Halles Bakery Welcome to the Disney Food Blog. If you enjoy this post, you should check out the tour of the site to see all the great Disney Food information we have. As recently reported, the new Les Halles Bakery is open for business in Epcot’s France pavilion. Les Halles replaces the previous France quick service location, Boulangerie Patisserie. Les Halles in the back of the France pavilion, next to the old bakery location Note that the Bakery opens at 9am — two hours earlier than most other counter-service locations in World Showcase! Atmosphere While I was a fan of the food at Boulangerie Patisserie, I found the narrow service area and lack of seating to be a challenge, particularly when I was traveling with children in a stroller.
