−	Although an American pavilion was always going to be a part of Epcot Center, Imagineers were initially not always sure where they wanted to place the pavilion. 1977/78 plans for EPCOT show that the American Adventure was going to be placed in-between Future World and World Showcase <ref> http://www.mainstgazette.com/2010/04/master-plan-5.html </ref>. This version of the pavilion would have been two stories tall, with the first floor serving as bridge from Future World to World Showcase, while the second level would have housed the American Adventure attraction <ref> http://allears.net/tp/ep/e_adv.htm </ref>. Eventually however, Imagineers decided to place the pavilion in the center of World Showcase <ref name="Martin"> http://www.martinsvids.net/?s=American+Adventure </ref>. This was done to make sure that Imagineers did not give the impression that America was "elitist" and a part from the rest of the world <ref name= "Martin"/>. By placing the pavilion in the center of World Showcase, Imagineers were able to represent the fact that America was the host to the other countries around the lagoon <ref name= "Martin"/>. At the time of the pavilion's move, its basic design was also changed. As opposed to being a sleek and futuristic looking pavilion (which would have helped it blend in with World Showcase), the pavilion was instead given a traditional colonial design <ref name= "Jack"/>. As the host, when the pavilion was built, it was raised so that it would be the higher then all the other pavilions. Unlike many of the other pavilions in World Showcase, the America pavilion was not designed with the goal of making people feel like they were visiting America <ref> http://land.allears.net/blogs/jackspence/2010/12/the_american_adventure_part_1_1.html </ref>. [[Image:HerbAmericanAdventure.jpg|350px|thumb|An early rendering of the American Adventure pavilion by Herb Ryman]] Instead, Imagineers wanted to focus on the fact that America was the host of World Showcase, while also showcasing the countries’ history. With this goal in mind, the pavilion was named The American Adventure as opposed to the “United States” or “America” pavilion <ref name= "Jack"> http://land.allears.net/blogs/jackspence/2010/12/the_american_adventure_part_1_1.html </ref>.	+	A Mexican pavilion was planned for World Showcase since early on in the area’s development. The planned pavilion was to include two restaurants, as well as an attraction named “Las Tres Culturas de Mexico” <ref name= "martin"> https://vimeo.com/2702430 </ref>. Although well developed, the plans for the Mexico’s boat ride were initially going to be pushed back to EPCOT Center’s “Phase Two”, and be built at a later date <ref name= "martin"/>. At this point in the pavilion’s development, the load area and lagoon were to be constructed, with the idea that the ride itself would be built at a later date <ref name= "martin"/>. These plans changed however when [[Germany]]’s planned Rhine River Cruise attraction was cancelled along with the Japan pavilion's planned attraction. Due to the fact that plans for an Equestrian Africa pavilion were also shelved, Disney had a capacity issue. With no other rides in World Showcase, the area would not have enough attractions to meet its expected guest capacity <ref name= "martin"/>. [[Image:ElRiotoGranFiesta.jpg|350px|thumb|El Rio Del Tiempo became the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring the Three Caballeros in 2007.]] As a remedy for this situation, Disney decided to make Las Tres Culturas de Mexico an opening day attraction, changing the attraction’s name to El Rio del Tiempo. In order to complete the attraction (and pavilion) on time, the rides length was shortened by 40% and moved completely inside <ref name= "martin"/>.
−	Construction on The American Adventure pavilion began in early 1980 <ref name= "Martin"/>. The pavilion was designed by architect George Terpatsi, who wanted the exterior to resemble a Georgian mansion. The design also took inspiration from buildings in Williamsburg, Independence Hall in Philadelphia, the Old State House in Boston, and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello home <ref name= "Jack"/>. The American Adventure pavilion opened on October 1, 1982. When the pavilion opened it was sponsored by Coca-Cola and American Express <ref name= "Martin"/>.	+	Despite the late starting point of the project, the Mexico pavilion opened with the rest of World Showcase on October 1, 1982 <ref> http://thisdayindisneyhistory.homestead.com/epcotgrandopening.html </ref>. When the pavilion was complete, it consisted of two restaurants, two shops, and one attraction. The centerpiece of the pavilion is a large Mesoamerican pyramid, which was based on designs from the 3rd century AD. The interior of the pyramid was designed to look like a Mexican village (based on Taxco de Alarcón) at twilight <ref name= "Spence"> http://land.allears.net/blogs/jackspence/walt_disney_world/theme_parks/epcot/mexico/ </ref>. Besides initially housing El Rio Del Tiempo, the Mesoamerican pyramid also housed the San Angel Inn restaurant, which was designed based on a restaurant in Mexico City (with the same name), that opened in 1692 <ref name= "martin"/>. Also within the pyramid were various shops and stands in the Festival Marketplace <ref name= "martin"/>. Outside of the pyramid is the Mexico pavilion’s lakeside restaurant- Cantina de San Ángel. Nearby, guests can also now meet Donald Duck in his Mexican outfit.
−	Since its opening, the American Adventure pavilion has seen a relatively few number of changes. The pavilion's attraction was updated in 1993, and then again in 1997 <ref name= "Martin"/>. Also in 1993, a small Victorian ship named the Golden Dream was docked on the pavilion's coastline <ref name= "Martin"/>. In November 1994, the American Gardens Theatere was partially enclosed for the debut of the Barbie's Birthday Party show<ref name= "Martin"/>. Original sponsor Cola-Cola ended its sponsorship in 1998, while other sponsor American Express ended its sponsorship in 2002 <ref name= "Martin"/>. Finally, when the Liberty Inn initially opened it did not have walls or windows (although it did have a roof). Subsequently, the restaurant has been altered so that it is entirely indoors <ref name= "Martin"/>.	+	Following its opening in 1982, for a number of years the Mexico Pavilion saw a relativity small number of changes. Throughout its history, the shopping stalls located within the pyramid have changed, and more lights were added to the marketplace <ref name= "martin"/>. The most substantial change to the pavilion came on January 2, 2007 when Mexico's only attraction El Rio Del Tiempo closed <ref> https://www.mouseplanet.com/guide/344/Walt-Disney-World/Epcot/World-Showcase--Mexico/El-Rio-del-Tiempo </ref>. The attraction was updated and renamed, eventually reopening as The Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros on April 6 <ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/gran-fiesta-tour-starring-the-three-caballeros.htm </ref>. On the Gran Fiesta Tour, guests travel through many of the same scenes as El Rio del Tiempo, however they now feature HD screens which allow guests to follow José Carioca and Panchito Pistoles (from the 1944 Disney movie The Three Caballeros) as they look around Mexico for Donald Duck.
−	==Layout==	+	In 2010 Cantina de San Ángel closed for refurbishment.

−	When guests enter the main entrance to the pavilion they find themselves in a colonial lobby. The main rotunda is about 35 high and it features 12 large columns <ref name= "Jack"/>. Around the room guests are surrounded by inspirational quotes that correspond to various pieces of hung artwork. On the far side of the lobby, guests can tour the American Heritage Gallery which houses various exhibits. 15 minutes prior to showings of the American Adventure attraction, guests are treated to an a cappella performance by the Voices of Liberty who perform in the main lobby.	+
−	On the second floor of the pavilion (which guests pass through on their way to see the American Adventure attraction, the Hall of Flags can be found. Here, 44 flags that have represented parts of the United States during its history can be seen.

Mexico is a pavilion located within World Showcase at Epcot. It is located between the World Showcase entrance and Norway.

History

A Mexican pavilion was planned for World Showcase since early on in the area’s development. The planned pavilion was to include two restaurants, as well as an attraction named “Las Tres Culturas de Mexico” ^[1]. Although well developed, the plans for the Mexico’s boat ride were initially going to be pushed back to EPCOT Center’s “Phase Two”, and be built at a later date ^[1]. At this point in the pavilion’s development, the load area and lagoon were to be constructed, with the idea that the ride itself would be built at a later date ^[1]. These plans changed however when Germany’s planned Rhine River Cruise attraction was cancelled along with the Japan pavilion's planned attraction. Due to the fact that plans for an Equestrian Africa pavilion were also shelved, Disney had a capacity issue. With no other rides in World Showcase, the area would not have enough attractions to meet its expected guest capacity ^[1]. As a remedy for this situation, Disney decided to make Las Tres Culturas de Mexico an opening day attraction, changing the attraction’s name to El Rio del Tiempo. In order to complete the attraction (and pavilion) on time, the rides length was shortened by 40% and moved completely inside ^[1].

Despite the late starting point of the project, the Mexico pavilion opened with the rest of World Showcase on October 1, 1982 ^[2]. When the pavilion was complete, it consisted of two restaurants, two shops, and one attraction. The centerpiece of the pavilion is a large Mesoamerican pyramid, which was based on designs from the 3rd century AD. The interior of the pyramid was designed to look like a Mexican village (based on Taxco de Alarcón) at twilight ^[3]. Besides initially housing El Rio Del Tiempo, the Mesoamerican pyramid also housed the San Angel Inn restaurant, which was designed based on a restaurant in Mexico City (with the same name), that opened in 1692 ^[1]. Also within the pyramid were various shops and stands in the Festival Marketplace ^[1]. Outside of the pyramid is the Mexico pavilion’s lakeside restaurant- Cantina de San Ángel. Nearby, guests can also now meet Donald Duck in his Mexican outfit.

Following its opening in 1982, for a number of years the Mexico Pavilion saw a relativity small number of changes. Throughout its history, the shopping stalls located within the pyramid have changed, and more lights were added to the marketplace ^[1]. The most substantial change to the pavilion came on January 2, 2007 when Mexico's only attraction El Rio Del Tiempo closed ^[4]. The attraction was updated and renamed, eventually reopening as The Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros on April 6 ^[5]. On the Gran Fiesta Tour, guests travel through many of the same scenes as El Rio del Tiempo, however they now feature HD screens which allow guests to follow José Carioca and Panchito Pistoles (from the 1944 Disney movie The Three Caballeros) as they look around Mexico for Donald Duck.

In 2010 Cantina de San Ángel closed for refurbishment. When the establishment reopened, it consisted of two restaurants, the table service Cantina, and the new table service restaurant La Hacienda de San Ángel ^[6].
