Outpost in Epcot....What is it?

[singjenn]

I was looking at photos of the different countries in Epcot on ***********.com. One of the categories was OUTPOST. It just looks like a merchandise kart. What is it?

I always thought it was called the "African Outpost" but maybe I'm wrong. It's basically in a place as you turn a corner. There are some drums there for kids to sit and play and CMs that play as well. I don't remember what else is there.

There are a few things at the Outpost. Drums, a drink stand and merchandise carts.

Here are some links.

It's a small area in between China and Germany. The entertainment is:

OrisiRisi
Interactive drum circle and African folklore.
Monday-Friday at 2:30, 3:20, 3:55, 4:55, 5:55 & 6:40pm
Length of show: 20 minutes

They are really good. There's also a gift shop that USED to be African flavored but has given way to plush and the normal Disney stuff, There still is a craftsman that has stayed on. He is usually there doing his crafts.

There is a snack shop there with limited seating across the walkway. The link for the menu isn't working but it has ice cream and sodas (and I believe beer). there used to be a fruit cart there but I can't remember if it's still there.

If they are bringing out the floats for Illuminations, the drawbridge between the Outpost and China will be raised for a few minutes.
