Mexico Pavilion
When you leave Future World and enter The World Showcase, if you go left, the Mexico pavilion is the first one you will run into. You will know you are in Mexico by the Mayan pyramid (or the margaritas in everyone’s hands). I think entering the pyramid is one of the most immersive experiences in all of Walt Disney World. You truly feel like you are in Mexico when you step inside
Rides and Attractions
There are few rides in the World Showcase but there is one in Mexico! The Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros takes passengers on a boat ride through Mexico accompanied by Donald and friends. In my opinion, this ride could use some updates (Coco anyone?!?). However, there is rarely a wait and it is a good break from the heat.
There is also a Mexican Folk Art exhibit in this pavilion. This is the kind of thing that my mom would make me visit, especially if we were missing school for our vacation!
Dining
There are plenty of dining options in Mexico. It can be a bit confusing because all of the restaurant names are pretty similar. However, they all offer something different.
For lunch or dinner, you can dine inside the pyramid at San Angel Inn Resturante. This is a table service restaurant featuring – you guessed it – Mexican cuisine!
La Hacienda de San Angel, open for dinner, is another table service restaurant in Mexico. Check in is outside of the pyramid, across the walkway. For all the tequila lovers out there, you can do a tequila flight to compliment your meal. If you can score the right reservation and a table near the window, this is a great place to watch Illuminations (while it lasts).
The quick service option in Mexico is La Cantina de San Angel. This is located near La Hacienda de San Angel but is all outside seating.
To wet your whistle, you can visit Choza de Margarita (I recommend the Lime Cucumber Margarita) or La Cava del Tequila.
Characters
You can usually find Donald Duck in his festive Mexican attire right outside of the Pyramid. I still have my fingers crossed for a Coco meet and greet at some point but for right now, I am happy with Donald.
