Perhaps the most popular pavilion in Epcot, The Land opened with the park in 1982 and is located in Future World West. Inside the pavilion guests will find [[Soarin' Around the World]], a motion simulator attraction that takes them hang gliding over various world landmarks, as well as the [[Circle of Life: An Environmental Fable]] film and the boat ride [[Living with the Land]]. The Land pavilion also houses a working greenhouse, which grows much of the food that is used in the pavilion's restaurants- the [[The Garden Grill Restaurant]] Grille and the [[Sunshine Seasons]].
===Mission Space===

Formally known as the Living Seas, this pavilion opened in 1986 in Future World East. Initially known for its large Caribbean Coral Reef aquarium, The Seas With Nemo & Friends now features a dark ride (also named The Seas with Nemo and Friends) that takes guests through the story of the The Disney-Pixar film 's Finding Nemo. Also located in the Seas pavilion is Turtle Talk With Crush, an interactive “digital puppetry” show that allows guests to interact with Crush the turtle from Finding Nemo. Finally, the Seas with Nemo & Friends also houses Sea Base, an underwater research facility with Finding Nemo themed exhibits. The only restaurant in the pavilion is the [[Coral Reef Restaurant]] which specializes in seafood.
