Summary

Epcot has so many attractions, yet most Guests tend to spend a majority of their time in Future World. When it comes to World Showcase, many skip over the "smaller" attractions, which include Reflections of China and Impressions de France. In today's episode, we'll unwind in World Showcase together and experience these two attractions in binaural audio. Grab your favorite snack or beverage from the China or France pavilion and enjoy the experience! Which pavilion in World Showcase is your favorite? Which attractions are on your must-do list? Send me your feedback via email or through direct or public message at any of the following and [with your permission] I'll include your message in a future show: Facebook: www.facebook.com/ImagineerPodcast Instagram: www.instagram.com/ImagineerPodcast Twitter: www.twitter.com/ImagineerAudio Please also join our Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/imagineerpodcast/ and invite your friends to join as well.

The current attraction there is really Gran Fiesta Tour. Now going to YouTube to watch El Rio Del Tiempo videos...

I'm Hello and welcome to the Imagineer podcast, your unofficial guide to all things Disney.

0:47.5

I'm your host, Matthew Krull, and this is episode number 27 of the Imagineer podcast.

0:58.2

In today's episode, we're going to slow things down just a little bit. I know in our last episode we did as well by talking about the Walt Disney World

1:03.4

Resort Hotels. In today's episode, we're going to continue with that casual atmosphere by going

1:10.6

to Epcot and enjoying two attractions over at World

1:15.5

Showcase. Now, as many of you probably know, there are 11 countries over at World Showcase

1:22.3

at Epcot, and a few of those feature an attraction or two. Starting from the left to the right, those countries and attractions are El Rio del Tienpo in Mexico,

1:34.0

frozen ever after in Norway, reflections of China, and of course the China Pavilion,

1:39.5

the American Adventure, of course, at the American Adventure Pavilion,

1:43.7

Impressions de France at, you guessed it, the France Pavilion, and O Canada, over at, well, of course, the Canada Pavilion.

1:51.8

And if you ask most guests, of course, if you ask them about Epcot, they're going to mostly talk about the attractions over at Future World and perhaps Frozen Ever After, but I find that the attractions at World Showcase are really, really enjoyable,

2:06.6

especially in the middle of the day if it's getting really hot, in the middle of the summer,

2:10.6

or if you're feeling tired, or if you just want to slow things down a bit,

2:14.6

similar to how we're going to slow things down today, then

2:17.9

enjoying some of those attractions can be a great way to take a break from the heat, take a break

2:23.7

from the long queues and crowds, and just enjoy something relaxing, and perhaps learn something

2:30.8

or two about some of these countries. And I find that there are two attractions

2:34.6

in particular over at World Showcase that are incredibly underrated. And those are over at the China

2:40.7

Pavilion and the France Pavilion, which again are reflections of China and impressions to France.

2:46.5

And I would bet that there are some of you listening to this podcast who probably usually

2:52.0

skip this attraction or these two attractions when you go to Epcot.

2:54.9

I hope you don't.
