Why Disney Fans Are Running To EPCOT's Japan Pavilion This Weekend

If you’re in EPCOT, there is a LOT of fun to be found on the 4th of July.

Japan Pavilion

There are special fireworks to enjoy, snacks to try, and we’re on the hunt for rare character costumes, too. If you’re going to EPCOT this weekend, there are 4 NEW items for you to try, including 2 limited-time offerings.

Japan is the place to be when you’re in EPCOT! This pavilion has incredible dining options like Shiki Sai plus amazing entertainment like the Matsuriza. One of the best parts about this pavilion is easily Mitsukoshi. This store has tons of merchandise, plus Japanese snacks and drinks.

You can grab a regular for $9.38 or a large for $17.76.

These four items are a great way to cool off in the heat, enjoy your weekend, or just try something new. If you’re in EPCOT this weekend, don’t forget about The Heartbeat of Freedom fireworks show, which is a special addition to EPCOT’s regular nighttime show, Luminous: The Symphony of Us.
