You won’t believe this beautiful transformation at Disney World’s EPCOT theme park. Check out all the pictures of this not-be-to-missed area.
Shopping around the World
Epcot is one of my (Susan) favorite Disney Parks. There are so many shops and wonderful areas to explore. However, most people don’t take the time to check out all the World Showcase has to offer.
Where else can you pose with a life size troll? At the Fjording, at the Norway Pavilion you can shop for Norwegian clothing, collectibles, jewelry, Frozen merchandise, toys and more! Put on a Viking helmet and purchase Norwegian fleece.
Then, at the United Kingdom Pavilion, be sure to stop at The Queen’s Table and The Tea Caddy. Both of these quaint shops have napkins, linens, and everything you need for an afternoon spot of tea.
Take a look at everything you need to know about shopping around the World Showcase HERE.
Unique Shopping Spots
In addition to World Showcase shopping locations, EPCOT strategically places kiosks around the World Showcase Lagoon. During festivals you will find themed merchandise as well as local vendors showcasing their art.
One of the most authentic shopping areas is located between China and Germany. You’ll find the Refreshment Outpost here serving cocktails and ice-cold craft beer on tap. If you’re hungry, you can order hot dog, seasonal offerings, and ice cream along with soft drinks and slushes!
Makeover
Also located in this spot are the Amani Village Traders. Here, guests can shop in an open-air marketplace featuring African-themed musical instruments, wood carvings and soapstone sculptures.
To make this unique area even better, street style art murals were added this week, and they’re simply breathtaking!
Breathtaking murals were added to Amani Village Traders this week.
Artist
The new murals were painted by international street artist Bhupi Jethwa, known as WiseTwo from Nairobi, Kenya.
Having engaged subjects as diverse as ancient languages, scripts, shamanic mask rituals and dying tribes, my work reproduces familiar visual and aural signs, arranging them into new conceptually layered murals and paintings.
