Shopping at the House of Good Fortune in Epcot’s China Pavilion

Epcot's China Pavilion is one of the more beautiful locations around World Showcase, and it's also a hidden gem when it comes to great shopping.

When visiting the pavilion, we always stop and take time to explore the garden. The lotus pond in front of the temple is stocked with floating water lilies and other plants and fruit trees, and also features a small waterfall. The area was designed to create a mood of serenity and if you stand there long enough you might feel a sense of calm wash over you.

From Wine to Beer Steins to Teddy Bears: A Shopping Tour of Epcot’s Germany Pavilion

There's so much to love about Epcot's Germany Pavilion, from the beer to the bratwurst to the deliciousness that is Karamelle-Kuche. But did you know the pavilion is also a great place to stop and shop?

Grab your pocketbooks and let's take a stroll around the shops of the Germany Pavilion.

Just outside the pavilion you'll find a small, outdoor kiosk called Glaskunst. This shop specializes in glassware and steins, some with engravings. It's a fun little shop and if you're looking for a personalized gift, this is a good place to find it.

Step into Mom’s Kitchen at the 50’s Prime Time Café in Disney’s Hollywood Studios

There's no shortage of great places to eat when you're visiting Disney's Hollywood Studios, but one of our favorites is the 50's Prime Time Cafe.

This table service location is a true blast-from-the-past. The restaurant is themed to look just like Mom's kitchen. Or what mom's kitchen would have looked like back in the 1950s. From the moment you step in the restaurant and find yourself waiting in "Dad's Living Room" or when you're seated in one of the many "kitchens" you are surrounded by kitchy awesomeness.
