PHOTOS: A Fan-Favorite Disney Character is BACK in EPCOT!

By 1 Comment

If you’ve ever been on the classic EPCOT attraction in the Mexico pavilion (A.K.A. the Gran Fiesta Tour), you know that Donald Duck is kind of a big deal. There was a period of time when he was missing from the attraction (and replaced with a PLANT!), but thankfully, he returned safe and sound. Speaking of returning, we’ve been saying hello to all sorts of Disney characters today, including Joy and Vanellope von Schweetz!

Gran Fiesta Tour

Now, we’re happy to report that another character is back in EPCOT! We can FINALLY answer the age-old question, “¿Dónde está Donald?”

UPDATE: Note that the regular indoor seating for La Cava del Tequila has reopened so this special experience is no longer the only way to sit inside this spot.

La Cava del Tequila in EPCOT’s Mexico Pavilion is THE place to be if tequila is your drink of choice!

La Cava del Tequila

This tequila bar had been serving up drinks to-go since the park reopened, but that didn’t stopped tequila fans from lining up! This is one of our favorite hidden gems in EPCOT, and now La Cava del Tequila will be offering a new exclusive experience for you to come and stay for a while.
