Thanks for watching TPM crew! If you enjoyed the video don’t forget to smash that like button and share the video with a friend! We’re gonna get on trending this year TPM Crew, I can feel it!🌐 How many of these secrets did you know?
I didn't know about Pooh's Corner, the Rhine River, or the Tower of Terror in Morocco's skyline! Also, I just realized how similar Hotel Du Canada is to Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City! I'm sure that was intentional.
Me too! We have a local Greek Festival and I made mention of this one time. One of the Greeks said it was because their government couldn't afford it. Not sure how true that is. Love Greek food!
Briannah Williams I totally agree, cause Hercules is considered a rare character, so they could have a meet and greet, a mini Parthenon, and a Greek restauran
Don't forget about Megara!! Underappreciated Disney heroine right there. Ooh! And Hades! Favorite villain for me. Hades and Maleficent, Disney's top villainous characters.
I wish I had the eye for detail that Disney has. "Hey, how is this building going to look when viewed from a random spot on the other side of the lake?"
I love that the back of Tower of Terror is actually themed to look like part of Morocco; shows a lot of creativity in making sure immersion isn't broken. The other nice thing about it is, it makes the Morocco pavilion look "deeper" than it really is by having a distant building seem like it's part of it, when it's not even really in Epcot at all.
Disney didn't have these views in mind. Originally, the American exhibit building was to be the gateway to the back half of the park. It was redesigned during construction.
My favorite is Morocco. Great food, and the architecture really makes you feel like you're in another, far-off place, to a greater degree than any of the other pavilions (the only one that comes close is Japan). I don't have the experience to say how authentic it is, but it feels authentic, or at least not so much like a Disney version of the country. And it's beautiful.
Yeah the narrow alleyways really make me feel like I’m on vacation some place far away. It might be the most visually stunning pavilion. My other favorite pavilion is Germany because of the garden railway which unfortunately might be moved or removed if the new (probably Brazil) pavilion takes that spot.
It's very much authentic because Disney let the Moroccan government send craftsmen and builders to build the whole pavillion to preserve the authenticity.
Amy wells they actually just added a Pegasus plushy from Hercules! It’s just a start and I hope there is more merchandise in the park as it’s one of my favourite movies!
Ok so after watching this video, me, my mom, my sister, and my brother went to Epcot. I was really exited about Christopher Robin’s bedroom so we went to the UK and found it. I showed my family and then all of a sudden, a cast member came up and asked if we wanted to go inside. Of course we said yes and she let us right in! I took pictures while my mother talked to her and she acted like it was no big deal. If it wasn’t for your video, we wouldn’t have gotten to experience that! Thank you ~A Disney fanatic
+Heather Braun I think that a mary poppins ride in epcot depends on whether its a box office smash hit or not (its movie is supposed to be released for christmas I heard)
They should add Peru just to expose the andean/jungle side of southamerica. Empererors new groove would fit amazingly good in any sort of Peru atraction
Here's secret that I'm surprised you didn't mention. If you look at the exterior pyramid of Mexico, at the top of the stairs it looks like a small doorway but that's in fact a window. Inside is the command center for Illuminations. In addition to video, audio & pyro control are a couple of spotters who are constantly monitoring the perimeter around the lake. If they spot a guest outside of the safety areas they can shut down the show instantly. I am friends with a long time Disney park event manager who shared that info with me.
Chris Thom I've been to Epcot so many times in the past and I never even noticed that! That is super cool and part of the Disney fashion where safety always comes first!
Japan is my favorite pavilion, love getting japanese .candy and anime things there! Plus all the other things they sell there like the beauty stuff and stationary, etc.
I miss working at Epcot. At the end of my shift I would change out of my costume and roam around Japan and Morocco. Both pavilions have an awesome welcoming atmosphere and great food!
For those wondering why Pooh's room is in the UK Pavilion, contrary to some kids' beliefs, the story of Pooh and his friends was created by AA Milne, who lived in Hartfield, England. And he had a son. I'm sure you can guess his name... Christopher Robin Milne. And he loved his stuffed animals, named Pooh, Eeyore, Piglet, Tigger, Kanga and Roo. Christopher Robin's stuffed animals are on display in a library in New York. Unfortunately, he misplaced Roo a long time ago, that's why he's missing!
i love Epcot! my favorite world showcase is Morocco... from the atmosphere, to the food, to the shopping, and on to the beautiful people who work there, it hits 5-stars in my book on all counts...
One of my favorite things I got the see in the Pooh’s meet and greet area was inside the trunk at the foot of the bed. Everything is glued down, including the chess board!
Loved this! On my family's last trip we went looking for Christopher Robbins room having been there some years back. I am so glad I now know what happened. I literally passed right by it because of the sign! I was so confused, I remember saying to my husband I swear it was right here. lol!
@@Kimmiesmidge ...... I have ridden the Frozen attraction twice and upon exiting for the second time I remember exclaiming "Well...I guess once was enough." Maelstrom on the other hand, had me wanting to ride every chance I got!
We were disappointed in the quality of the iconic folk food known as lefse. It's the Scandinavian version of the Mexican soft tortilla, but is made with a mixture of mashed potatoes and some flour to achieve the desired consistency. It is then rolled out and cooked on a large heated dry round griddle pan until some slight surface browning occurs, but is soft and pliable. It is lightly buttered and traditionally sprinkled with brown sugar and then rolled up. My grandparents were from Norway and this was a much requested food by everyone. It is difficult to find decent examples of this in any Scandinavian restaurant unless a real Norwegian cook is employed there.
9:52 I’m surprised they didn’t mention the German version of this restaurant. It’s tucked where the old ride used to be. I went there with friends and family and it’s so cool. It’s fully decorated to be a late night German party, they play German festive music, there’s a buffet of German styled cuisine, you dance with kids and even adults and they sometimes seat you at tables with other people as a get to know you event. It was my favorite thing in Epcot and recommend for everyone. I wish I had know about it sooner.
Much like the wine river boat ride, the Japan pavilion was also originally gonna have an attraction (mostly a Godzilla-themed bullet train ride), but it too got scrapped.
I heard it was a number of things. The Godzilla one was one of them and there was to be a Matterhorn-esque Mt. Fuji ride as well. I also heard there was going to be a History of Japan boat ride, but since it kind of would gloss over WWII, they decided against it.
there is a Mickey in every attraction, you just have to pay attention and every attraction is built around a restaurant I highly recommend Canada for a steak dinner Norway is fantastic and germany is a buffett I highly recommend a reservation and the best time to eat dinner between 3 & 4 pm still on the lunch menu after that prices jackup 20%
Aric Cua I’d especially like to see the kpop culture in a South Korea pavilion. Like how in all of the other pavilions theres themed music in the background, just have some K-POP playing lol
Morocco kinda run away with it when no one was watching and no one cared, now if Disney declares an empty spot, you got like 200 countries fighting for it, and the big boys first, Russia, Brazil, Spain , India , Australia, south Korea , Turkey etc. Morocco wouldn't stand a chance at all.
I've been going to Epcot since I was a kid and last year I got an annual pass and went solely for the World Showcase to explore it. It's amazing how much fun it is over on that side of the park. It's now my favorite area in any Disney park and makes me love Epcot even more than I already did!
Another fact about the Morocco pavilion is that since it is owned by the government of Morocco, it is the only country that does not light up during IllumiNations for religious purposes.
It’s not exactly religious as much as it is cultural purposes. Because the government wanted it to be as authentic as possible and because they don’t put lights like those around their buildings, they wouldn’t allow lights to go on it. You can still see uplighting but not the “framing” lights of illuminations
Something good also is the phinese and ferb spy hunt where you go all around the world show case finding hidden clues and it has different puzzles so it is unlikely to do the same one twice plus there are even some animatronics that come out of stores whenever my family does it it takes us in to almost every Country and time wise it takes us a little over a hour just make to get there early or else they might not have anymore walkie-talkies if so just come back in a hour but it is really fun and if you are planning to do world showcase ESPECIALLY with kids this is awesome
The Tower of Terror blows my mind. That level for foresight and attention to detail I wish I could get people to actually commit to when I do projects.
We went in to the Canada Pavilion for the first time last trip and watched the film. It was great! We absolutely love Epcot and eat at San Angel Inn every time!
Winnie the Pooh IS Canadian! That's why he doesn't have a british accent. The story books are based on a bear from Winnipeg, Saskatchewan, named Winnie.
Epcot, or more specifically the World Showcase, is the greatest place I've ever been to. A Three Caballeros ride (one of Disney's most underrated films, second only to Song of the South for obvious reasons), a Frozen ride that was previously a Nordic-themed PotC, a German restaurant with better food and decor than the Bavarian Grill in Plano (which many claim is the best German restaurant in America), a recreation of that Canadian castle from the X-Men movies and Scott Pilgrim VS The World, and I could write an entire essay about how great the Japanese Pavilion is.
There is agent p interactive before you enter world showcase, It is very fun and many little secrets in most of countries and makes things move and other things. All you have to do is go to the website in the beginning of world showcase a cast member will tell you about it.
Morocco is still my favorite country at Epcot. Welcoming cast members and shops and so many beautiful things around. The Bazaar "Market" at night is unlike anything I've ever experienced. There's a massive party that you just get sucked into. If you walk around the "country" there's different things going on around the "town." If you venture near the lamp post in the back, I found a drum circle and a lady dancing, being a percussionist I asked if I could join. They did let me in and oh was it a time I will never forget! I'm pretty sure I always tell this story when I'm there. I don't know if they do this often, as no-one else seems to have ever had the same experience. Absolutely amazing!
OMG YES! World showcase! I’ve been waiting for this episode for so long... actually forgotten to request for it. Thanks TP, this is a great treat for all us TPM and Disney fans. ;)
By the way TPM, I have been leaving very kind and constructive feedback on your videos, and you seem to totally ignore them. You like and acknowledge everybody else’s comments besides mine. (Not being a narcissist, I’m just frequently confused by this). Am I doing something wrong? I am I irritating you? Only say the word and my soul shall be cleansed. :)
......"filled with many little suprises..." *record scratch* waitaminute. 6:58 is that.....no it couldnt be. disney doesnt give the tv shows they make any things in the parks. holyshit! that is Dr. Doofenshmirts from Phineas and Ferb!
Good eye! That's part of the "Agent P's World Showcase Challenge" game. It's sort of a scavenger hunt for kids, using a smartphone app (they used to hand out old flip-phones to play it on, but now they assume most people have one). The quests involve activating animatronics hidden in the different pavilions. It's all themed after Agent P vs. Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb.
ImEvil234 it used to be a Kim Possible adventure around the entire showcase. Also, Disney does utilize TV shows more than you realize. Look at the artwork inside Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. It clearly looks inspired by the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command cartoon series. And in Stitch's Great Escape, when showing all the prisoners, you'll notice that they're all the other 625 genetic experiments. The Seventh Sister from Star Wars: Rebels can be fought at Jedi Training Academy.
Boy I hope that rumor is right! The Agent P game is not nearly as fun as the kim possible one... Also, to add to the Disney utilizing tv shows more than you'd think conversation: In the 90's, mickey's toontown fair at the Magic Kingdom had a show called "Disney Afteroon" in which all the disney afternoon characters would appear (including darkwing duck, launch pad, the ducktales gang, the gummi bears, max in his goof troop attire, chip and dale in their rescue rangers attire, baloo and king louie in their tailspin attire, and even Bonkers). There was also a parade featuring the cast of Jim Henson's Dinosaurs tv series, and still around today is the Disney Jr. Stage show (which has featured many different disney jr./playhouse disney shows over the years). Finally, Phineas, Ferb, and Agent P use to appear daily at Disney's Hollywood Studios as a meet & greet (albeit, I'm not sure if they do anymore with all the construction going on).
Very well done, I really enjoyed this video. Epcot is my favorite park, so this was of special interest to me. Other comments: 1. Canada - I will try entering via the alternate route you mentioned! It seems like a more scenic approach anyway. 2. Watching fireworks from in front of France - I will look for this during my next visit. However, I've often found that, for some reason, they have many of these sort of "verandas" roped off (???). I'm not sure if I've seen this one roped off, so I'll check. 3. Secret Entrance - Since I always stay at the Dolphin hotel, this is the entrance I always use. I like it because it is not as crowded as well (based on what I see coming in towards Spaceship Earth from the front enterance) Favorite Countries: Here they are in order of priority for me: 1. France - I LOVE the movie and its music. I listen to the soundtrack often. When I'm at Epcot, I try to watch the movie at least twice. I once emailed (and received a reply from) one of the two men that created this movie in 1980. He told me it was a very fun project. Disney did an excellent job with the montage of French classical music. 2. China/Canada (tie) - I love the movies at these places, each for a different reason. From a pavilion architecture perspective, I'd probably give Canada the edge 3. Norway (pre-Frozen) - I loved the Maelstrom ride, and am VERY disappointed Disney chose to do away with it. Frozen belongs in Hollywood Studios or Magic Kingdom, NOT Epcot. The ride was informational, and gave one an idea about what Norway was like. The short video in the small theater at the end of the ride was also very good. What they did to Norway is my greatest disappointment at Disney. 4. Mexico - I love the environment inside (dark/night), with the pyramid and volcano in the background. I found the restaurant to be fairly good, and certainly the least expensive of the Epcot sit-down restaurant I've been to. The Donald Duck ride is fun and well-designed. 5. Morocco - I find the narrow streets/alleyways and shops fun to walk down and visit. Just wished they had a movie like France. RE: Germany and Proposed Ride I would love for them to have provided a "ride on the Rhine", or at least a movie. All of the pavilions that do not have an attraction should at least have a movie. I welcome your thoughts on these comments. Thanks, and God Bless. Ken
My favorite country in the World Showcase is - World Showcase. I love them all. I always advise people to go INSIDE the pavillions - don't just walk past on the promenade. That secret about Tower of Terror - which I just heard last year - is one of my favorite Disney secrets I've ever heard. Genius.
I could picture you in a new must do Disney video that they play in Disney world resorts/hotels because your voice and personality is so fitting for it.
you should do a video about any secrets of the phineas and ferb game at epcot. it was something i used to like to do at the park, and it would be really interesting to learn if there are any secrets.
I think they need a Brazil or Peru pavilion.. along with Egypt and or Kenya. A little more diverse than just European countries. Oooooh, and Korea or Vietnam!
Dang! I wish I watched this before I went to WDW last September! There is sooooo much cool stuff there in EPCOT that I completely missed! Now I want to go back so much! Great vid TPM!
I will have to say my favorite is American Adventure. We do enjoy all of EPCOT though. It is so great to see all of the other countries that we can't see any other way.
Hi TPMvids, i was wondering maby you could taik about the gingerbread house at the HauntedMansion in Disney land. If you don't know what I'm taiking about every yaer at Disney land they change it to a Nightmare before Christmas holiday ride ,and in the ballroom on the table they have a gingerbread house that is real.every year the gingerbread house is different. It would be cool to see you upload a video about it. 👍
This is getting me hyped because I'm going to Disney in a few days and I'm planning a trip with my friends when we graduate next year~ Haven't been since October and ready to go back.
There are wonderful less-obvious displays and exhibits in the various countries as well. Traditional clothing, jewelry and makeup in Morocco; Japanese fables, folklore and fairy tales...it's worth it to take your time and explore each country fully, you never know exactly what you might find.
If you stand in front of Canada during Reflections and look back at one of the buildings, there is a tech that controls intensity of lasers so they won't interfere with air traffic. He pops out of the chimney. Not sure if he or she is still there but was in the past.
Italy, I love the food. I miss Jamaica. There was once a double decker bus painted up that at times would drive around the showcase and stop randomly and have a reggae party. It was cool and fun
Morocco, France, Japan, Italy, Germany, Mexico in that order!!! Canada is awesome and had some Great times in the British Pub! I don’t put America 1st ~ Only because I am American! I live here and want to see other interesting things and meet the people from these lands that work at Epcot and can tell us something about their culture ~ always meet great people that way!
Once I saw this, I wanted to know how the Illuminations barges get to the lake. Now I know that they get there from the bridge lifting to make room for the barges and the huge iconic Illuminations globe!
Thanks for watching TPM crew! If you enjoyed the video don’t forget to smash that like button and share the video with a friend! We’re gonna get on trending this year TPM Crew, I can feel it!🌐 How many of these secrets did you know?

TPMvids yes Canada is in this video and I went there 9 times and never saw it how I am Canadian 5th comment like
I didn't know about eney of these secrets.thanks for making a video about it .
And I'm feeling it to ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
TPMvids loved it!
I didn't know about Pooh's Corner, the Rhine River, or the Tower of Terror in Morocco's skyline! Also, I just realized how similar Hotel Du Canada is to Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City! I'm sure that was intentional.
I want them to add Greece to world showcase!! They could incorporate hercules and have really good food
Briannah Williams YESS
Me too! We have a local Greek Festival and I made mention of this one time. One of the Greeks said it was because their government couldn't afford it. Not sure how true that is. Love Greek food!
Briannah Williams that’d would be cool
Briannah Williams I totally agree, cause Hercules is considered a rare character, so they could have a meet and greet, a mini Parthenon, and a Greek restauran
Don't forget about Megara!! Underappreciated Disney heroine right there. Ooh! And Hades! Favorite villain for me. Hades and Maleficent, Disney's top villainous characters.
6:15 - That duck flying by with the QUACK made me laugh so hard. XD
I would love to see Egypt in the World Showcase. A pyramid or a Great Sphinx would be awesome.
this must happen
Yes that wo
Yassss

Matt McIrvin , my favorite too!
If there are stray cats everywhere.. then it would be authentic.
Matt McIrvin The food felt very authentic and the belly dancer was a nice touch.
Yeah the narrow alleyways really make me feel like I’m on vacation some place far away. It might be the most visually stunning pavilion. My other favorite pavilion is Germany because of the garden railway which unfortunately might be moved or removed if the new (probably Brazil) pavilion takes that spot.
It's very much authentic because Disney let the Moroccan government send craftsmen and builders to build the whole pavillion to preserve the authenticity.
We need a Greece pavilion with a Hercules ride
thetardisisblue1110 or at least a meet and greet with meg, herc and hades!
that would be amazing! i hate how under looked hercules is! theres not even any merchandise in the parks
Amy wells they actually just added a Pegasus plushy from Hercules! It’s just a start and I hope there is more merchandise in the park as it’s one of my favourite movies!
thetardisisblue1110 thank you I never heard of that Hercules attraction this is Rowan
YES
i like the Morocco pavilion. It always felt more immersive to me. Now I know why.
I always though it was the most representative of the country it's meant to emulate; definitely is the most intricately detailed.
totally agree...a stunning place to visit in the late afternoon when shadows play tricks with the light...
Omg same. I love morocco!!!
Plus the food is great
Ok so after watching this video, me, my mom, my sister, and my brother went to Epcot. I was really exited about Christopher Robin’s bedroom so we went to the UK and found it. I showed my family and then all of a sudden, a cast member came up and asked if we wanted to go inside. Of course we said yes and she let us right in! I took pictures while my mother talked to her and she acted like it was no big deal. If it wasn’t for your video, we wouldn’t have gotten to experience that! Thank you ~A Disney fanatic
They should make a new ride in UK for the new Christopher Robin, or Mary Poppins. And maybe even a Coco attraction in Mexico
Banana Samich It’s rumored that the ride in the Mexico Pavilion is gonna get the Coco overhaul.
Also there is a talk of a Mary Poppins ride in UK
+Heather Braun
I think that a mary poppins ride in epcot depends on whether its a box office smash hit or not (its movie is supposed to be released for christmas I heard)
There are now a few Coco themed displays in the Mexico pavilion that weren’t there before. I wouldn’t be surprised if more keep coming
the coco attraction is coming, apparently if you go to mexico right now you can make your own skull and decorate it like dia de muertos
6:14 i love that duck
They should add Peru just to expose the andean/jungle side of southamerica.
Empererors new groove would fit amazingly good in any sort of Peru atraction
OMG THIS WAS MY THOUGHT THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE VIDEO
Also Peru is the best culinary destination of The World!
PULL THE LEVER GRONK
Here's secret that I'm surprised you didn't mention.
If you look at the exterior pyramid of Mexico, at the top of the stairs it looks like a small doorway but that's in fact a window. Inside is the command center for Illuminations. In addition to video, audio & pyro control are a couple of spotters who are constantly monitoring the perimeter around the lake. If they spot a guest outside of the safety areas they can shut down the show instantly.
I am friends with a long time Disney park event manager who shared that info with me.
Chris Thom that’s really cool! I never payed attention though because I was enjoying the churros
I had never been to Epcot... :(
Chris Thom awesome
Chris Thom I've been to Epcot so many times in the past and I never even noticed that! That is super cool and part of the Disney fashion where safety always comes first!
Epcot's name also stands for Every Person Comes Out Tired 😂😂
BetsyTheDreamer So true. 😄😄😄😄😂😂😂
That's so funny. I always walk out saying"feet don't fail me now!"
BetsyTheDreamer no
Every paycheck comes on Thursday (ex-CM here)
Hey Flavia,where did you work? I think disney's Cast Members are the reason WDWD is so great. You guys rock!
The World Showcase is the BEST! I could spend all day just exploring the secrets and eating the food. Keep it up TPM!
OMG YASSSS

One of my favorite things I got the see in the Pooh’s meet and greet area was inside the trunk at the foot of the bed. Everything is glued down, including the chess board!
A New Zealand or Australian section would be pretty cool.
Sorry it be abanded and it is one of 11 abanded plan.
I hope one day they finish that Rhine river ride. It sounds lovely.
I thought you walk from Mexico to Canada! I've been doing it all wrong
same!!!
Yeah the 5 times I've been there, Mexico has always been the start!!
Alex M it’s next door
i didn’t realize the winnie the pooh meet and greet had closed down, i still have the pictures i took with pooh and tigger in 2014
This was a great video!! I freaking LOVE World Showcase. I think my favorite part is Mexico but I still LOVE Epcot itself! 😘♥️👏💛
*yep should get COCO ~ Ride soon !!!!! OMG!!!!!!! :D*
My family’s favorite country at Epcot is Japan. My daughter loves the small Kawaii museum tucked away in the corner by the stores.
Yes, I found that museum last week for the first time after several visits. Pretty cool
It would be better to add some sort of show/ride in Japan.
Loved this! On my family's last trip we went looking for Christopher Robbins room having been there some years back. I am so glad I now know what happened. I literally passed right by it because of the sign! I was so confused, I remember saying to my husband I swear it was right here. lol!
They should explain japan with a studio ghibli dark ride ( I want to se a Totoro a-100 figure )
That would be cool, esp with all the Disney made movies they've collabed on like Ponyo.
Miyazaki would say "nah... that's ok"
Disney used to own Studio Ghibli so I'm surprised they never did that.
RIP Maelstrom.
The better ride did not win this round...
Very missed. Replacement = meh

Inside the Mexico Temple thing...There's Dr Doofenshmirtz animatronic blasting a canon on the roof of a building!!!
OMG, I am so glad you gave a shout-out to the Norwegian bakery. For sure my favorite spot for a sweet treat in EPCOT.

That is also changing to Ducktales now

I love them all but Morocco feels the most authentic.
We enjoyed a great meal there while on our honeymoon at the end May, 1993. Epcot was our favorite area at Disneyworld.
That’s cuz the king of Morocco sent his personal architect to oversee the construction of the pavilion.
9:38 if you go left of the main building with the statues in it, and you see a ship in the bushes that was from a playground that use to be their.
Morocco was opened in 1983.
Would love to see Greece, The Netherlands, or South Korea represented in Epcot.
Aric Cua I’d especially like to see the kpop culture in a South Korea pavilion. Like how in all of the other pavilions theres themed music in the background, just have some K-POP playing lol
Claire Bear _1408 nooo
Morocco kinda run away with it when no one was watching and no one cared, now if Disney declares an empty spot, you got like 200 countries fighting for it, and the big boys first, Russia, Brazil, Spain , India , Australia, south Korea , Turkey etc. Morocco wouldn't stand a chance at all.

@@ecoRfan Yes!! India, Brazil, Egypt, and Greece should be next.

I've been going to Epcot since I was a kid and last year I got an annual pass and went solely for the World Showcase to explore it. It's amazing how much fun it is over on that side of the park. It's now my favorite area in any Disney park and makes me love Epcot even more than I already did!
I knew about the secret entrance from staying at Beach Club.
“ bro, you coming?!”
“Yea one minute. I got to mow the roof”
Another fact about the Morocco pavilion is that since it is owned by the government of Morocco, it is the only country that does not light up during IllumiNations for religious purposes.
Alyssa Marshall Could you explain further? What would a religion have against illumination? I’m curious.
It’s not exactly religious as much as it is cultural purposes. Because the government wanted it to be as authentic as possible and because they don’t put lights like those around their buildings, they wouldn’t allow lights to go on it. You can still see uplighting but not the “framing” lights of illuminations
Additionally to keep it symmetrical. The Norway pavilion doesn’t light up either
Epcot is indeed my favourite. Only good memories and where I met my idol, Mary Poppins at the English pavilion. I will never forget that day!
Omg that's so strange , my walking order has always been from Mexico to Canada😂
My favorite country in World Showcase is probably Morocco. The detail and architecture is amazing.
I like the Japan pavilion
Same
Best quick serve in all Disney!
Best place I've been to in my entire life.
Same. Do they still have the Kawaii room?

I visited Disney World once, right after I turned 11, and I remember that the World Showcase was one of my favorite parts of all 4 parks.
Something good also is the phinese and ferb spy hunt where you go all around the world show case finding hidden clues and it has different puzzles so it is unlikely to do the same one twice plus there are even some animatronics that come out of stores whenever my family does it it takes us in to almost every Country and time wise it takes us a little over a hour just make to get there early or else they might not have anymore walkie-talkies if so just come back in a hour but it is really fun and if you are planning to do world showcase ESPECIALLY with kids this is awesome
Little miss Pink this is amazing I did this last weekend it is sooooo fun
The Tower of Terror blows my mind. That level for foresight and attention to detail I wish I could get people to actually commit to when I do projects.
🇨🇦🇨🇦 I love the Canada Pavilion! 🇨🇦🇨🇦
We Canadians are the best
Else O same
I did the whole showcase with the passport in one day! I can't wait to go to Disney!
They should add a New Pavilion to the World Showcase!
It's hard to pick one favorite country! Japan and Mexico are two of my most favorites though. For their cool shops, ride, and atmosphere :D
I spent ages on those phineas and ferb games
We went in to the Canada Pavilion for the first time last trip and watched the film. It was great! We absolutely love Epcot and eat at San Angel Inn every time!
6:14 quack
That multi-level terrace is definitely NOT overlooked. Every time I've seen illuminations, it is filled and we arrive an hour early.
Winnie the Pooh IS Canadian! That's why he doesn't have a british accent.
The story books are based on a bear from Winnipeg, Saskatchewan, named Winnie.
Canada is technically a British Colony
Winnipeg is in Manitoba, not Saskatchewan.
Epcot, or more specifically the World Showcase, is the greatest place I've ever been to. A Three Caballeros ride (one of Disney's most underrated films, second only to Song of the South for obvious reasons), a Frozen ride that was previously a Nordic-themed PotC, a German restaurant with better food and decor than the Bavarian Grill in Plano (which many claim is the best German restaurant in America), a recreation of that Canadian castle from the X-Men movies and Scott Pilgrim VS The World, and I could write an entire essay about how great the Japanese Pavilion is.
6:57
WOW! When was Doof added?! COMPLETELY missed him when I went last summer!!
There is agent p interactive before you enter world showcase, It is very fun and many little secrets in most of countries and makes things move and other things. All you have to do is go to the website in the beginning of world showcase a cast member will tell you about it.
I actually use to be Kim Possible
@@z-boypheno9780 it's now being changed again to Ducktales
Morocco is still my favorite country at Epcot. Welcoming cast members and shops and so many beautiful things around. The Bazaar "Market" at night is unlike anything I've ever experienced. There's a massive party that you just get sucked into. If you walk around the "country" there's different things going on around the "town." If you venture near the lamp post in the back, I found a drum circle and a lady dancing, being a percussionist I asked if I could join. They did let me in and oh was it a time I will never forget! I'm pretty sure I always tell this story when I'm there. I don't know if they do this often, as no-one else seems to have ever had the same experience. Absolutely amazing!
cool video though i should probably mention that the international gateway is also a good place to see rare characters like launchpad
Is it a great place to meet characters! That’s where a lot of training happens so you never know who you might see👀
Saw Gepetto here and Raffiki
OMG YES! World showcase! I’ve been waiting for this episode for so long... actually forgotten to request for it. Thanks TP, this is a great treat for all us TPM and Disney fans. ;)
By the way TPM, I have been leaving very kind and constructive feedback on your videos, and you seem to totally ignore them. You like and acknowledge everybody else’s comments besides mine. (Not being a narcissist, I’m just frequently confused by this). Am I doing something wrong? I am I irritating you? Only say the word and my soul shall be cleansed. :)
I love this attraction in Epcot, I would love to see Spain, Brazil, or Cuba
It would be awesome if they added a Columbia pavilion! I would definitely would love to see an Encanto ride included!
Just found this channel, I am already in love with it 💯

World Showcase is awesome. I think it still needs more attractions but the atmosphere and food options in World Showcase is hard to beat in WDW.
......"filled with many little suprises..." *record scratch* waitaminute. 6:58 is that.....no it couldnt be. disney doesnt give the tv shows they make any things in the parks. holyshit! that is Dr. Doofenshmirts from Phineas and Ferb!
Good eye! That's part of the "Agent P's World Showcase Challenge" game. It's sort of a scavenger hunt for kids, using a smartphone app (they used to hand out old flip-phones to play it on, but now they assume most people have one). The quests involve activating animatronics hidden in the different pavilions. It's all themed after Agent P vs. Doofenshmirtz from Phineas and Ferb.
ImEvil234 it used to be a Kim Possible adventure around the entire showcase. Also, Disney does utilize TV shows more than you realize. Look at the artwork inside Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. It clearly looks inspired by the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command cartoon series. And in Stitch's Great Escape, when showing all the prisoners, you'll notice that they're all the other 625 genetic experiments. The Seventh Sister from Star Wars: Rebels can be fought at Jedi Training Academy.
ImEvil234 rumor is agent p is getting replacedwith Ducktales
Boy I hope that rumor is right! The Agent P game is not nearly as fun as the kim possible one...
Also, to add to the Disney utilizing tv shows more than you'd think conversation: In the 90's, mickey's toontown fair at the Magic Kingdom had a show called "Disney Afteroon" in which all the disney afternoon characters would appear (including darkwing duck, launch pad, the ducktales gang, the gummi bears, max in his goof troop attire, chip and dale in their rescue rangers attire, baloo and king louie in their tailspin attire, and even Bonkers). There was also a parade featuring the cast of Jim Henson's Dinosaurs tv series, and still around today is the Disney Jr. Stage show (which has featured many different disney jr./playhouse disney shows over the years). Finally, Phineas, Ferb, and Agent P use to appear daily at Disney's Hollywood Studios as a meet & greet (albeit, I'm not sure if they do anymore with all the construction going on).
ImEvil234 XD THAT IS SO FUNNY I THOUGHT THAT TOO XD
Very well done, I really enjoyed this video. Epcot is my favorite park, so this was of special interest to me.
Other comments:
1. Canada - I will try entering via the alternate route you mentioned! It seems like a more scenic approach anyway.
2. Watching fireworks from in front of France - I will look for this during my next visit. However, I've often found that, for some reason, they have many of these sort of "verandas" roped off (???). I'm not sure if I've seen this one roped off, so I'll check.
3. Secret Entrance - Since I always stay at the Dolphin hotel, this is the entrance I always use. I like it because it is not as crowded as well (based on what I see coming in towards Spaceship Earth from the front enterance)
Favorite Countries:
Here they are in order of priority for me:
1. France - I LOVE the movie and its music. I listen to the soundtrack often. When I'm at Epcot, I try to watch the movie at least twice. I once emailed (and received a reply from) one of the two men that created this movie in 1980. He told me it was a very fun project. Disney did an excellent job with the montage of French classical music.
2. China/Canada (tie) - I love the movies at these places, each for a different reason. From a pavilion architecture perspective, I'd probably give Canada the edge
3. Norway (pre-Frozen) - I loved the Maelstrom ride, and am VERY disappointed Disney chose to do away with it. Frozen belongs in Hollywood Studios or Magic Kingdom, NOT Epcot. The ride was informational, and gave one an idea about what Norway was like. The short video in the small theater at the end of the ride was also very good. What they did to Norway is my greatest disappointment at Disney.
4. Mexico - I love the environment inside (dark/night), with the pyramid and volcano in the background. I found the restaurant to be fairly good, and certainly the least expensive of the Epcot sit-down restaurant I've been to. The Donald Duck ride is fun and well-designed.
5. Morocco - I find the narrow streets/alleyways and shops fun to walk down and visit. Just wished they had a movie like France.
RE: Germany and Proposed Ride
I would love for them to have provided a "ride on the Rhine", or at least a movie.
All of the pavilions that do not have an attraction should at least have a movie.
I welcome your thoughts on these comments.
Thanks, and God Bless.

Sweet. Can't wait to get pickpocketed at Epcot World Showcase like I did in Brazil on vacation.
My favorite country in the World Showcase is - World Showcase. I love them all. I always advise people to go INSIDE the pavillions - don't just walk past on the promenade. That secret about Tower of Terror - which I just heard last year - is one of my favorite Disney secrets I've ever heard. Genius.
PLEASE!!! PLEASE TELL ME WHAT MUSIC IS AT 5:22!!! I have been searching for it for a g e s!!
I could picture you in a new must do Disney video that they play in Disney world resorts/hotels because your voice and personality is so fitting for it.
My favorite world showcase in Epcot is definitely Mexico
bonnie howard mine too especially for The Three Caballeros
Sarah McMann I loved that ride too. I’m kinda sad they replaced it with Coco.
you should do a video about any secrets of the phineas and ferb game at epcot. it was something i used to like to do at the park, and it would be really interesting to learn if there are any secrets.
I think they need a Brazil or Peru pavilion.. along with Egypt and or Kenya. A little more diverse than just European countries. Oooooh, and Korea or Vietnam!
I think a Korea pavilion would be interesting! They could include the highly popular kpop and kdrama stuff
Brazil is likely. They have been doing surveys about it for the last couple of years
Soul Sisters YES! Kenya could be so amazing. Honestly, I would love that.
Kenya!!! That's our vote too.
The people who visit from Brazil are usually rude and uncivilized.
Dang! I wish I watched this before I went to WDW last September! There is sooooo much cool stuff there in EPCOT that I completely missed! Now I want to go back so much! Great vid TPM!
They can include india and Egypt in the next pavilion. They are unique
Yes! I totally agree! Brazil NEEDS to be added!!
You sir have a great speaking voice. Very soothing and calm. Show yourself some time in a vlog.
The Morocco pavilion and Tower of Terror secret made me really satisfied. That’s absolutely amazing!
Brazil, Russia, Spain, Australia, and Greece sound like they’d be great additions
I want all abanded plan to be back.
I always go on the Donald Duck Mexico ride and you literally walk on, and usually you're the only one who is on the boat 💕
i love your channle and your content keep doing what you are doing
Thanks for watching Emily!
I will have to say my favorite is American Adventure. We do enjoy all of EPCOT though. It is so great to see all of the other countries that we can't see any other way.
Hi TPMvids, i was wondering maby you could taik about the gingerbread house at the HauntedMansion in Disney land.
If you don't know what I'm taiking about every yaer at Disney land they change it to a Nightmare before Christmas holiday ride ,and in the ballroom on the table they have a gingerbread house that is real.every year the gingerbread house is different. It would be cool to see you upload a video about it. 👍
This is getting me hyped because I'm going to Disney in a few days and I'm planning a trip with my friends when we graduate next year~ Haven't been since October and ready to go back.
You deserve WAY more subs!!
Q's slime World what?
There are wonderful less-obvious displays and exhibits in the various countries as well. Traditional clothing, jewelry and makeup in Morocco; Japanese fables, folklore and fairy tales...it's worth it to take your time and explore each country fully, you never know exactly what you might find.
I
LOVE
EPCOT
❤️❤️❤️
(I'm not a weirdo ok?)
Dara Ross same
Who say u a weirdo??? Only devil. I mean to talk weird☺
Love the Chinese and England pavilions, the French movie attraction is one of my favorites... Heck I love them all!
If you stand in front of Canada during Reflections and look back at one of the buildings, there is a tech that controls intensity of lasers so they won't interfere with air traffic. He pops out of the chimney. Not sure if he or she is still there but was in the past.
Best RUclipsr
Italy, I love the food. I miss Jamaica. There was once a double decker bus painted up that at times would drive around the showcase and stop randomly and have a reggae party. It was cool and fun
I love your channel because I love Disney

Canada is awesome and had some Great times in the British Pub! I don’t put America 1st ~ Only because I am American! I live here and want to see other interesting things and meet the people from these lands that work at Epcot and can tell us something about their culture ~ always meet great people that way!
Once I saw this, I wanted to know how the Illuminations barges get to the lake. Now I know that they get there from the bridge lifting to make room for the barges and the huge iconic Illuminations globe!
