Disney Adults Have Adopted A New China Pavilion Trend

There’s a new obsession brewing at EPCOT’s China Pavilion, and honestly, we’re not surprised.

Disney Adults have officially found their latest must-do experience, and it’s all about those adorable blind boxes tucked away in the China Pavilion. If you’ve been wandering through World Showcase lately, you’ve probably noticed more people than usual hanging around this particular pavilion, and we’re here to tell you exactly why that’s happening.

The Blind Box Craze Has Found Its Home

So here’s the deal. While Disney Springs has its own selection of blind boxes available, it seems like Disney Adults have collectively decided that the China Pavilion versions are where it’s at. We’ve been noticing more and more guests making a beeline for this spot specifically, bypassing other options entirely.

The selection at the China Pavilion is just hitting different. There’s something about the variety and quality of what’s offered here that’s got people coming back again and again. We’ve seen several guests who’ve admitted to visiting here over any of the stores in Disney Springs just to add to their collection.

Why This Location Stands Out

What makes the China Pavilion the go-to spot instead of heading to Disney Springs? Well, for starters, you’re already in the parks. If you’re doing your usual World Showcase stroll, it’s incredibly convenient to just pop in and grab a few boxes without having to plan an entirely separate trip to Disney Springs.

Plus, let’s be real, there’s something special about getting your souvenirs while you’re actively in the magic of the parks. The atmosphere is different, the experience feels more connected to your day, and you get that instant gratification of opening your finds right there.

The Collection Mentality

We totally understand the appeal. Blind boxes tap into that collector mentality that so many Disney Adults have. You never know what you’re going to get, which means there’s always a reason to come back and try again. It’s basically the same rush as pulling a rare trading pin, but in a tiny box format.

The community around it has grown, too. We’ve seen people bonding over their shared love of these little treasures. It’s become its own mini experience within the EPCOT experience.

Our Take

Look, we’re not going to tell you whether or not you should join this trend, but we will say that if you’re even remotely interested in collectibles, it’s worth checking out what all the hype is about. Just maybe set yourself a budget before you go in, because these things are addictive, and your wallet will thank you for having some self-control.

Next time you’re making your way around World Showcase, swing by the China Pavilion and see what’s available. Who knows, you might just become the next person we see carefully arranging their haul on a table outside the pavilion.
