By Leave a Comment

EPCOT’s World Showcase has long been one of the most popular areas in any Disney theme park, thanks to its pavilions recreating the charms of several countries around the world with architecture, design, souvenirs, and, of course, food!

Italy

One of the most popular pavilions is the one themed after Italy, which features Venetian, Florentine, and Roman architecture, including recreations of St Mark’s Campanile, the La Gemma Elegante shop representing a replica of the Doge’s Palace, and other hallmarks of Italian architecture, such as the Columns of San Marco and San Todaro, the Ponte della Pagli. In addition, the pavilion’s Neptune Fountain is reminiscent of Rome’s Trevi Fountain. With all that being said, what do Italian guests actually think of the pavilion, and what rules do they follow?

ALERT! This Popular EPCOT Ride CLOSES in One Week

By Leave a Comment

Listen — we LOVE when rides get a much needed refurbishment. Whether it’s Big Thunder Mountain Railroad getting an updated track and new rainbow caverns, or Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin getting a new scene, ride vehicles, blasters, and targets, we love it when our favorite rides get a little bit more love so we can enjoy them for years to come.
