EPCOT - Mexico

Outside a temple greats you but inside you have a small shopping area, a museum, a restaurant and a boat ride (that conjures up memories of Small World). The large temple and lush gardens that surround it make the outside of the Mexican pavilion very inviting. Inside the scene is a nighttime marketplace. Throughout the day there are performances in the marketplace inside the pavilion.


Geek's Thoughts & Suggestions

If you see a line for the boat ride (not very likely) come back latter and you can probably walk right on, the line seems to go in cycles.

Some great view of Illuminations can be seen from the edges of the lagoon near Mexico. You have an unobstructed view of the central barges. Also be sure to note the wind when watching Illuminations, never line up downwind...
