What to do in the United Kingdom at EPCOT

The short answer

The United Kingdom pavilion opened in 1982, built around a Hampton Court Palace façade. It has 4 attractions, shows and meets, 4 places to eat and drink and 3 shops. To see: Command Performance and Rose & Crown Pub Musician. You can meet a friend from the Hundred Acre Wood and Alice. The cheapest meal on our pages here is Yorkshire County Fish Shop, about $20 a head.
