food IS a theme park
There are so many different outfit choices you could go with in Disney World, and those choices only expand when you’re visiting EPCOT.
UK Pavilion in EPCOT
World Showcase in EPCOT is filled with 11 different countries to explore, and that ALSO means that you could dress like characters from Disney IP that takes place in those parts of the world. If you’ve got a special interest in the UK Pavilion for your next trip, we’ve got some suggestions for you — six, to be exact.
It’s no secret that Disney fans often aren’t shy about sharing their opinions about the company’s rides. Whether it’s about rides that are closing, rides that are changing, unbuilt rides they wish had been completed, or even rides they wish would be built.
Japan in World Showcase
That brings us to Reddit, where a large Disney discussion thread recently broke out of the prompt, “If all the countries in Epcot had to have a ride, what would be your suggestions for the ones that don’t currently have a ride?” Suffice to say, many Disney Adults had an idea, and some of them were quite interesting.
Disney has floated a lot of ambitious ideas over the years, but not every one of them made it past the drawing board.

Some existed only as concept art before quietly disappearing. Others were officially announced, generated plenty of buzz, and then slowly faded out without much explanation. And a few still sting, because we really wanted to see them happen. Here’s a look at five Disney World projects that were planned, hyped up, and ultimately scrapped.
Perhaps the fastest way to take a trip around the world is by visiting EPCOT‘s World Showcase.
UK Pavilion
With 11 countries to visit, the park represents several cultures, and Disney Imagineers conducted extensive research to make these pavilions as accurate as possible. But did they succeed? We recently got some tips from our readers in the UK that there may be some inaccuracies in EPCOT.
If you’ve ever strolled through EPCOT’s United Kingdom Pavilion, you know it’s full of cozy charm with cobblestone streets, red phone boxes, and a classic pub that feels like it’s been plucked straight from across the pond. But our readers from the UK are sharing their rules for visiting!
UK Pavilion
We asked our readers on Facebook what they ALWAYS or NEVER do when visiting the UK Pavilion, and let’s just say… they did not hold back! Here are the unspoken rules our British readers swear by when visiting EPCOT’s little slice of home, and why it should matter to you.
We need to talk about overpriced food in EPCOT.
UK Pavilion
We love a good snack run just as much as the next Disney fan, but lately we’ve seen a frustrating trend pop up—Disney adults shelling out way too much cash for food items that have cheaper (and sometimes better) alternatives just steps away. You don’t have to empty your wallet to get your fish and chips fix. Today we’re calling it out, especially in EPCOT’s UK Pavilion, where some folks are overpaying big time—and don’t even realize it. Here’s what you should be doing instead.
Here at DFB, we know a thing or two about Disney World. And, I personally happen to know a thing or two about drinking at EPCOT. In fact, it’s one of my favorite things to do.
EPCOT
Some might consider me the resident expert on imbibing here at DFB (okay, or maybe I’m just the loudest about it), which is why I feel particularly qualified to tell you about the latest problem plaguing EPCOT — barflies. One World Showcase pavilion tends to attract them more than most, and we need to talk about it.
The 2025 EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival has officially kicked off and we’re checking out all the Outdoor Kitchens, and some bonus locations too!
UK Beer Cart
There are plenty of food booths with tasty items, unique topiaries to check out, merchandise to grab, and even concerts to watch. But don’t let it overwhelm you, we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. And now we’re heading to one spot in particular — the UK Beer Cart — to give you the FULL scoop! Is it worth a try? Let’s find out!
If you are looking for a place to grab a quick bite to eat in EPCOT, we constantly recommend Yorkshire County Fish Shop in the UK Pavilion.
Yorkshire County Fish Shop
While it is rare for us to leave this quick-service spot unhappy, we always like to check back in with our favorite spots as sometimes the quality of food changes around Disney World. We recently took a trip here to see if Yorkshire County Fish Shop still has the magic touch! Here is what we thought!
Let’s take a journey together back to the year 2019. Baby Yoda, also known as Grogu, is taking the internet by storm, and we are crying in the theaters at the end of Avengers: Endgame. But, that is not all that was happening in 2019.

Disney also made a huge announcement about a new ride that was expected to be built in EPCOT. However, here we are five years later and the ride is no closer to being built.
