What can we do special in each country?

[Vickie46]

I am curious.. what does everyone do in each country.. I know about Kidstop and such.. but I am talking about other things..

like I just read where some people do the pearl thing in Japan..

I know in China we like to watch the acrobats.. etc..

I would love to hear what you like best in each country!

Thanks

Morocco has a band and belly dancer outside. We watched them last year for at least 1/2 hour. China also had a girl near the store using a set of juggling sticks. Got my son hooked and we bought a set.

Watch the drummers in Japan, and enjoy a Kaki Gori (Japanese shaved ice treat) while there.

sounds really neat! I would really like to slow down and take in each country.. we are usually rushing and walking thru so fast to get to our next destination .. that I feel like we miss a lot.. I never even knew about the pick a pearl in Japan! That sounds really neat!

Future World and World Showcase have live performers. A schedule is available (usually on white paer printed with blue ink) near where you get the maps. You need to check out the times. Also, some performers will be there only certain days.

My personal favorites are Kristos near Innoventions (they are not there right now) and Voices of Liberty in the USA pavillon before the American Adventure show.

Also at certain times of the year there are special offerings at the Amercican Garden Theater at USA pavillon. Concerts are done during the Food and Wine Festival, Flower and Garden show and the infamous Candlelight Processional for the Christmas holiday.

There's entertainment offered at the other parks, too. There's more at Epcot, but don't miss the offerings in the other parks.

I wrote this post yesterday in a message labeled "convince me to take my 5 and 7 year old to Epcot" -

a lot of the stuff is listing stuff that kids would enjoy, but much is stuff that my partner and I (both in our late 30s) enjoy too!

Well, there's always "Drink around the World".

The acting troupe in Italy is very funny too.

In our group, the guys had a beer from every country and the ladies had some wine while the kids did the Kidscot. We also tried to have a taste of something new. From what I remember, we only made it to Japan, then I think our seven kids carried us to the hotel?!
Just kidding, (sort of)!
Have fun

You should definately see Matsuriza in Japan. They are the ones who play those enormous drums outside. I like to enjoy a Kaki Gori (shave ice) while watching them.

Also, get a four-flavour (lime, kiwi, mango, strawberry) frozen margarita in Mexico.

In Morocco I have a habit of getting a small henna tattoo and having some Moroccan Mint hot tea each stay.

We love watching the "candy lady" in Japan.

Maybe the acting troupe was so funny because you did a "drink around the world"?

sorry one of those first thoughts moments

In every country, probably shopping. However, I've heard of people eating their way around the world-getting a little something to eat in each country. I'd love to do that sometime. I also love to watch some of the live acts, especially the World Showcase Players comedy troupe in UK. But don't "Rush limbah"

We buy chocolate in each country (except america) Italy is our favorite! Of course my DH and I Drink around the world too

My favorite are the little skits they do, especially the comedic ones. They have me bending over in laughter constantly. Especially the balloon guy in France and the Romeo & Juliet skit in Italy.

Two of my favorites. The Showcase Players also put on a show in the UK as well as Italy. Great show to watch, especially after a few beers!

My personal fav though is Off Kilter in Canada.

I always get a chocolate croissant from the bakery in France!

Subscribing! DFi and I have never been to Disney together and we just made plans to have a drink around the world! Looking for more great suggestions too!
