If you love Donald Duck and The 3 Caballeros (and who doesn’t?), the Gran Fiesta Tour in EPCOT’s Mexico pavilion is a “must do” for you. My granddaughter was so in love with this easy, slow moving ride, we had to ride it 3 times in a row! Poor Donald, it seems that he has disappeared south of the border and it is up to Panchito and Jose to find him.
Where did Donald go? Read more
As you wander around World Showcase in Epcot, you will find all kinds of great entertainment. One of our favorites can be found in Mexico – and it’s hard not to stop and listen when you hear the Mariachi Cobre playing. This 12 piece band plays daily and attracts a good size crowd. And if you’re lucky, you may get to join in! Read more
To me, the Mexican pavilion at Epcot is one of the coolest pavilions around World Showcase! In the middle of a bright hot sunny day, you can retreat to a lively fiesta evening in Mexico under the stars. Not only is it air conditioned, but looking at the stars above, you are transported into a relaxing part of the evening. Read more
La Cantina de San Angel is a quick service restaurant in the Mexico Pavilion. Great food and excellent views. Just be cautious of the birds that tend to hang out looking for crumbs. This is a good option for those guest that prefer to dine outdoors! You can find some of the same things on the menu as in La Hacienda De San Angel which is a very popular spot for those that enjoy Mexican.

Karen grew up in the Boston area and traveled to Disney World many times with her parents and sister. Always staying at the Fort Wilderness Cabins gave the trips a feeling of a home away from home. It also started the tradition of attending the Hoop Dee Doo Review on each trip! Somehow that show sparked her interest in the Disney College Program. Which she did in the fall of 2002, working as a hostess @ Captain Jacks in Downtown Disney. Now as an adult, Karen finds herself traveling to the parks on a yearly basis! Photography has always been a hobby of Karen’s, but over the past few years it has become her passion. It’s even taken her to her favorite place! The Make a Wish Foundation sent a family to Disney for a week and Karen was lucky enough to be their photographer of choice! She got to tag along and photograph their memories being made. She hopes to get that experience again someday! You can find more of Karen’s photography on her site www.KPportraits.com.

As you enter, you will see Mexican woodcarvers and artists working in a Folk Art Gallery. Further on there are vendors in a street market selling authentic Mexican jewelry, blankets, pottery and clothing. Read more
