Themed pavillion

Theme

Mexican Village

The Mexico pavilion is part of the World Showcase within Epcot at the Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, USA. Its location is next to Norway.

Layout

The Mexico pavilion resembles a Mesoamerican pyramid. The nightly fireworks show "IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth" is controlled from a small office atop the building.

Visitors enter through a display of Mexican artwork, the "Animales Fantásticos" art collection. The main room is the home to a twilight-lit Mexican marketplace, Plaza de los Amigos. At the edge of the plaza, a restaurant, San Ángel Inn, overlooks an indoor lagoon. To the side of the plaza, a boarding area leads to a boat ride, Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros.
