EPCOT World Showcase loop

From the main entrance, walk past Spaceship Earth and straight back through the park. Mexico, on the left where World Showcase begins, is about 0.35 miles and 7 minutes from Spaceship Earth. Canada, on the right, is about the same.

EPCOT also has a second entrance, the International Gateway, which opens onto the loop between France and the United Kingdom. If you use it, start the route at the United Kingdom and walk it in reverse.

Parking: $35 a day for standard theme park parking, or $50, $55 or $60 for preferred, depending on the season. It is included for Disney Resort hotel guests. See our parking fees page for the full list.

Walk clockwise, keeping the lagoon on your right. The pavilions come in this order:

1. Mexico: the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros boat ride inside.
2. Norway: Frozen Ever After, a boat ride to Arendelle.
3. China
4. Germany
5. Italy
6. The American Adventure, at the far point of the lagoon.
7. Japan
8. Morocco, home of Spice Road Table.
9. France: Remy's Ratatouille Adventure.
10. United Kingdom: Rose & Crown Dining Room, a pub overlooking the lagoon.
11. Canada: Le Cellier Steakhouse.

Measured legs on OpenStreetMap: Germany to Mexico (through China and Norway) about 0.33 miles; American Adventure to Germany (through Italy) about 0.16 miles; Japan to the American Adventure 0.09 miles; Morocco to Japan 0.11 miles; International Gateway to Morocco (through France) about 0.36 miles; Canada to the International Gateway 0.10 miles.

Disney's calendar listed EPCOT's park hours as 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on September 22, 2026, and Disney Tourist Blog reports that EPCOT kept those hours on every date of its 2026 calendar. During the festival, the food booths around World Showcase open at 11 a.m., per the same source.

Two good plans:

• Morning rides, afternoon loop: ride Frozen Ever After and Remy early, then walk the full loop from 11 a.m. when the booths open, eating as you go.
• Evening loop: start at Mexico around 6 p.m., walk clockwise with dinner in Morocco, France or the United Kingdom, and finish around the lagoon by 9 p.m. for Luminous.

The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival runs August 27 to November 21, 2026, and the booths around World Showcase make the loop a tasting walk. Disney's festival listing on September 22 showed it running with park hours. Prices at the booths are per item and change each year; our Food & Wine guide has this year's details. Adults ordering drinks in every country is a long-standing EPCOT habit and an expensive one; budget before you start.

After November 21, the festival calendar moves on: see the Festival of the Holidays page for the next festival on the calendar.

• The promenade is flat all the way round.
• Disney's calendar showed no EPCOT attractions closed for refurbishment on September 22, 2026. Check the day's calendar before you go.
• If you only want the rides, Lightning Lane decisions matter more than the walking order.
• World Showcase has no separate entry charge; the rides and pavilions are covered by park admission, while food, drink and shopping are extra.
