This food court located within The Land Pavilion, also on Epcot’s Future World side, is so much more than just a food court. With its profuse, fresh offerings and diversified selections to suit many different tastes and interests, this place is more so a “mega” food court in its own right.

The various grilling stations dish up mouthwatering selections, including Asian-inspired delights and wood-fired enticements, incorporating fresh greenhouse-grown accompaniments.

8. The Fountain

Nearby at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel you’ll discover an all-new updated twist on classic American diner grub at The Fountain.
