Around the World&#8221; (fr\u00fcher bekannt als &#8220;Soarin&#8217; Over California&#8221;) im Epcot-Park von Walt Disney World in Florida<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">Epcot is one of four amusement parks at the <strong>Walt Disney World Resort<\/strong> in Bay Lake, Florida near Orlando. It was the second park to open in 1982. The theme of the park is international culture and technological innovation.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">Initially, Epcot was the largest amusement park in the Walt Disney World Resort until 1998, covering around 120 hectares, until it was replaced by \u201cDisney&#8217;s Animal Kingdom\u201d. With around 11.2 million visitors, the park was the fifth most visited theme park in the world in 2013. The park&#8217;s landmark is the <strong>Spaceship Earth<\/strong> attraction.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">The experimental city of the future Epcot<strong>(Experimental Prototype City Of Tomorrow<\/strong>) takes visitors on a journey around the world through \u201cFuture World\u201d and \u201cWorld Showcase\u201d. While Future World demonstrates the future high-tech world, numerous countries present themselves in the World Showcase by showcasing their architecture, lifestyle and, of course, their culinary specialties. A wonderful day full of illusion and inspiration concludes with an impressive fireworks display over the lagoon.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">World Celebration &#8211; The heart of Epcot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your visit to the park starts right behind the entrance with the famous silver sphere: <strong>Spaceship Earth<\/strong>. In this iconic attraction, you travel through the history of human communication &#8211; from the Stone Age to the digital future. The area around Spaceship Earth has been redesigned and now forms the core of the park. The new <strong>Dreamers Point<\/strong> area with a Walt Disney statue can also be found here, as well as interactive exhibitions, green areas and evening lighting.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Imagination Pavilion<\/strong> is located right next door. This is where you start with <strong>Journey into Imagination with Figment<\/strong>, a family-friendly themed ride through the world of the senses, playfully accompanied by a little purple dragon called Figment. In the adjacent <strong>Pixar Short Film Festival<\/strong>, humorous short films from the Pixar universe will be shown in 4D.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">World Discovery &#8211; Action, innovation and space travel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In World Discovery, visitors experience the future up close. The highlight is the latest top attraction: <strong>Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind<\/strong> &#8211; a fast-paced indoor coaster with story, music and rotating platforms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is also <strong>Mission: Space<\/strong>, where guests simulate a space mission as an astronaut. There is a choice between an intensive (Orange) or moderate (Green) version. Right next to it is <strong>Test Track<\/strong>, a high-speed ride at up to 100 km\/h, where you can design your own test vehicle beforehand. The track will be extensively modernized from 2024, but will remain a crowd puller with virtual reality elements and airflow.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">World Nature &#8211; Environment, sustainability and natural wonders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-2fe66db1 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Epcot-Aquarium-1024x638.jpg\" alt=\"Nemo &amp; Friends Pavilion\" class=\"uag-image-24087\" width=\"1000\" height=\"614\" title=\"Epcot-Aquarium\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\" \/><figcaption class=\"uagb-image-caption\">The Seas with Nemo &amp; Friends Pavilion im Epcot-Park <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This area is dedicated to the theme of nature and includes the well-known <strong>The Land Pavilion<\/strong> with the <strong>Living with the Land<\/strong> boat trip, which offers an insight into modern agriculture and future technologies. Also here: <strong>Soarin&#8217; Around the World<\/strong>, a popular flight simulator over world-famous sights such as the pyramids, the Taj Mahal or Antarctica. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The interactive water garden <strong>Journey of Water &#8211; Inspired by Moana<\/strong>, a lovingly designed adventure trail for the whole family, is brand new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0\">In the neighboring <strong>The Seas with Nemo  Friends<\/strong>, you can explore the underwater world with Nemo, Crush and real sea creatures in huge aquariums. The <strong>Turtle Talk with Crush<\/strong> show is particularly popular with children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Nationen\">Performance of the nations in the World Showcase<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-582ee9d6 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Epcot-Feuerwerk.jpg\" alt=\"Feuerwerk Epcot\" class=\"uag-image-24095\" width=\"1000\" height=\"614\" title=\"Epcot-Feuerwerk\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\" \/><figcaption class=\"uagb-image-caption\">Nightly fireworks over the World Showcase Lagoon at Epcot Park<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The largest part of Epcot is taken up by the <strong>World Showcase<\/strong>, which is made up of eleven pavilion nations. Here you can immerse yourself in the world of Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, USA, Japan, Morocco, France, Great Britain and Canada. In the middle of the park is the \u201cWorld Showcase Lagoon\u201d, an artificial lake with a circumference of almost 3.5 km.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hola Mexico<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Mexican pavilion resembles an Aztec pyramid and welcomes you at the entrance with Mexican works of art from the <strong>Animales Fantasticos art collection<\/strong>. The main room is the marketplace at night, the \u201cPlaza de los Amigos\u201d. From the \u201cSan Angel Inn\u201d restaurant at the end of the square, you can see a model of an active volcano over an artificial river. On the river \u201cEl Rio del Tiempo\u201d (River of Time) you can sail around in small boats. The \u201cGran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros\u201d tells the story of three caballeros.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Norwegen\">Hey Norway<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Welcome to <strong>the land of trolls<\/strong>. The Norwegian pavilion, modeled on a Norwegian village, shows the Gol stave church and has many stores decorated with large wooden trolls. Among other things, typical Norwegian clothing, sweets and small troll statues are sold here. In the inner courtyard is the entrance to the \u201cMaelstrom\u201d boat trip, which takes you through a mystical landscape with Vikings and trolls out to sea and through a violent storm.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"China\">N\u01d0 h\u01ceo China<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Entering through a large Chinese gate, China welcomes visitors with the \u201cTemple of Heaven\u201d. Inside, <strong>Reflections of China<\/strong> is a 360\u00b0 film about the country&#8217;s history and landscape. Stores in the inner courtyard sell a range of Chinese goods. The romantic ponds spanned by bridges create a typically Chinese atmosphere. The Chinese \u201cNine Dragons Restaurant\u201d serves authentic Chinese dishes.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Deutschland\">Hello Germany<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No American can think of Germany without <strong>bratwurst, sauerkraut and wheat beer<\/strong>, and unfortunately this is often the only thing that comes to mind when thinking of Germany. So it&#8217;s not surprising that there is also a beer garden in the pavilion, which is modeled on a small German town, where the national dish is served.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, various architectural elements from the different regions of Germany have been deliberately incorporated, even if the overall visual impression is more reminiscent of Bavaria or Franconia. Small stores offer the second great synonym for Germany: the cuckoo clock and there are also dolls and wine from German wine-growing regions. There is a small model railway town near the pavilion.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Italien\">Ciao Italy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-77d69fcd wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Epcot-Italien.jpg\" alt=\"Epcot Italien\" class=\"uag-image-24093\" width=\"1000\" height=\"614\" title=\"Epcot-Italien\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\" \/><figcaption class=\"uagb-image-caption\">Italien-Pavillon im World Showcase von Epcot<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The piazza in the Italian pavilion is framed by famous buildings from <strong>Venice and Rome<\/strong>, such as the Campanile bell tower on St. Mark&#8217;s Square and a replica of the Doge&#8217;s Palace in Venice. Statues, a Neptune fountain and lions adorn the square, where various street artists such as clowns and mimes entertain. You can buy Italian sweets and wine in the small stores.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Usa\">Hi USA<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The American pavilion was modeled on the American colonial style. Here, the stage show <strong>The American Adventure<\/strong> with automated actors brings visitors closer to American history. The show is very patriotic and perfectly staged in American style.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Numerous famous Americans are portrayed on a moving stage by animatronics, who tell us something about their era in <strong>US history<\/strong>. Video projections and a harmonious soundtrack round off the program. The Hall of Flags displays various flags from American history. Typical American dishes such as cheeseburgers and hot dogs are served in the Liberty Inn restaurant.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Japan\">Konnichiwa Japan<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-3c413b93 wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Epcot-China.jpg\" alt=\"Japanischer Pavilion\" class=\"uag-image-24085\" width=\"1000\" height=\"614\" title=\"Epcot-China\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\" \/><figcaption class=\"uagb-image-caption\">Japanese pavilion with large torii gate<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Genuine Japanese architecture transports world travelers directly to <strong>the land of the setting sun<\/strong>. The entrance to the courtyard is decorated with a Japanese pagoda. A torii gate decorates the waterfront by the lagoon. Japanese pools and gardens lead directly into the Japanese castle, which is surrounded by a moat. There is an exhibition on Japanese culture here. In the \u201cMitsukoshi\u201d store you can buy typical Japanese clothes, jewelry and toys. In the Teppanyaki Dining Room, the chef prepares the dishes right in front of the visitors.      <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Marokko\">Salem Morocco<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Koutoubia Minaret<\/strong> from Marrakech is located within the Moroccan city. The pavilion also houses an art gallery and a Fez house, an example of a typical Moroccan house. Numerous stores create a Moroccan market atmosphere surrounded by gardens and fountains, where carpets, leather goods and clothes are on sale. In the evening, belly dancers dance into the night with visitors to the park as part of a music show.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Frankreich\">Salute France<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-image uagb-block-81fe6e1e wp-block-uagb-image--layout-default wp-block-uagb-image--effect-static wp-block-uagb-image--align-none\"><figure class=\"wp-block-uagb-image__figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Epcot-Frankreich.jpg\" alt=\"Frankreich-Pavillon im Epcot\" class=\"uag-image-24091\" width=\"1000\" height=\"614\" title=\"Epcot-Frankreich\" loading=\"lazy\" role=\"img\" \/><figcaption class=\"uagb-image-caption\">France pavilion with French garden in the World Showcase<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can catch a glimpse of the <strong>Eiffel Tower <\/strong>in the French pavilion. There are stores selling French goods such as perfumes in the themed area based on the Parisian district. The \u201cImpressions de France\u201d panorama cinema tells the story of France&#8217;s cities and history. Of course, our European neighbors also offer culinary delights in the \u201cBistro de Paris\u201d.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Britain\">Hello Great Britain<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The buildings in the British Pavilion are modeled on various architectural periods of British architecture. The flair is underlined by a typical English <strong>garden maze<\/strong>. The stores sell British goods such as tea, toys, clothes and numerous Beatles merchandise.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Beatles are of course also on site and play well-known songs in the form of \u201cThe British Invasion\u201d. Music continues here with pianist and entertainer \u201cPam Brody\u201d, who performs a selection of well-known British music in \u201cThe Rose  Crown Pub\u201d at weekends. Fish and ships are a must here. You can get them at Harry Ramsden&#8217;s.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Kanada\">Hello and bonjour Canada<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The castle in the Canadian pavilion is modeled on an old Canadian hotel. Behind it is a <strong>rocky landscape with waterfalls<\/strong>. The 360\u00b0 film \u201cO Canada!\u201d shows the Canadian beauty of the city and country. Culinary specialties are available in the form of steaks and seafood at \u201cLe Cellier Steakhouse\u201d.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-youtube-block aligncenter\"><div id=\"yb-video-gqZUAx-xjLc\" class=\"yb-player\" data-video-id=\"gqZUAx-xjLc\" data-title=\"Play\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/gqZUAx-xjLc\/hqdefault.jpg)\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"yb-btn-play\"><span class=\"visually-hidden\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div><figcaption class=\"yb-caption\">Epcot 2015 Tour and Overview | Walt Disney World<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-81de5f7f alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq uagb-faq__outer-wrap uagb-block-8716293a uagb-faq-icon-row-reverse uagb-faq-layout-accordion uagb-faq-expand-first-false uagb-faq-inactive-other-true uagb-faq__wrap uagb-buttons-layout-wrap uagb-faq-equal-height     \" data-faqtoggle=\"true\" role=\"tablist\"><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.florida-scout.com\\\/en\\\/theme-parks-orlando\\\/disney-epcot-center\\\/\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"How many countries are there in Epcot?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<strong>11 countries <\\\/strong>are represented in Epcot's World Showcase.
