Best EPCOT souvenirs, snacks, hidden secrets

[BigDave]

Take the time to view some of the areas.that people tend to blow past

Norway - The stave church, its a museum - granted its Forzen-esque now, but still, it is a museum
China - The terra cotta solders display
America - The items on display in the lobby area
Japan - The museum that is there - I believe it has a Manga display in it rignt now.
Morocco - The museum display that is there.

Great ideas!

Another vote for spending some time in the Mexico pavilion and Japan store. A lot of unique things to see.
The bakery in France is a spot we have to stop each visit.

If they are out, stop to see the Acrobats in China and the Circlevision movie.

If you walk through the paths toward the back in Canada, you will find a waterfall.

Inside the Japan pavilion, as you're leaving through the "back door" of the store complex, there's a rotating exhibit space that's always worth checking out. For a while, it was dedicated to popular anime characters; last time I was there it was an exhibit all about "kawaii culture". A lot of people don't even know it's there.

Norway. School bread. 'Nuff said.

I made the bad mistake of trying to combine a "drink around the World" and "snack across the World" into 1 day. It did not work out well at all. But it did let me try a lot of different drinks and food. If you want something out of the ordinary, try some of the different types of Baklava in Morocco. The Sultan Colada is not too bad either (although I was completely intoxicated by that point).

For 5th grade kids the bakeries at Norway and France are great places for snacks if a little crowded. Also the candy section in the store in Japan.

I also think the seas pavilion and Imageworks are good ideas.

As an adult my favorite snack is pistachio baklava from Morocco.

My children like the American Music Machine show at the stage outside the America area. It performs hourly throughout the afternoon. Its a good sit down for a while show and since its outside you can even enjoy a snack or drink while you watch. We end up watching it every year pretty much.

I think it's a Shanghai Disneyland exhibit now....

I never realized that. I'm trying to remember if they were there last time I was, and I'm not sure. We may not have gone in that time. For some reason I do remember looking at clothing in there recently. Clothing displays, not like merchandise

Try to eat something different from each country

School Bread in Norway. Getting a treat from the France bakery is a must!

I'm trying to remember if they were there last time I was, and I'm not sure.

I knew that that display was there, but I'd been unsuccessful in finding it for years. A couple years ago I found it - right off the main lobby for the CircleVision movie, right where they'd been all along. If I'd only turned my head to the left . . . . .

the
Best EPCOT souvenirs are ones you buy before you come at home.. because they are much much cheaper..

 

[bjlc57]

important snack Tip.. .Do not.. I repeat DO NOT eat a pork Jerky while standing and listening and trying to be respectful of the lady from Israel discussing the Maccabees during the Christmas season.. ( this fool is guilty of doing just that).. I thought that the pastries in both France and Norway to be out of this world..

No trip to Epcot is complete without a stop at
Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie. The sweets are to die for!

I like the candy bars in the Twinings Tea Shoppe. To me it's interesting how different countries handle something as simple as the "candy bar". There's one candy bar that's made with chocolate that's got hollow spots, like bubbles that have popped. I forget the name, but I think the wrapper might have pictures of the bubbles. It's really good (if you like chocolate, which I do)!
