  • La Boutique Des Provinces - A variety of items with Anne of Green Gables theme, plus decoupage, pewter, and other items crafted by Canadian artists.

    Directions & Tips:

    Epcot has two entrances. The original entrance is convenient to Epcot's 162-acre parking area and the Epcot monorail station. The International Gateway entrance opened in 1990 near the France pavilion in World Showcase, providing park access to guests staying in Epcot resort area hotels — Disney's Yacht Club Resort, Disney's Beach Club Resort, Disney's BoardWalk, Walt Disney World Swan and Walt Disney World Dolphin.

    Be sure to pick up an Epcot guide map at the theme park entrance and time your day around "must-see" shows. If you want to dine at Epcot, priority seating is a must – on busy days, some restaurants may be fully booked by 10 a.m.

    Reduce wait time at no additional charge with Disney's FASTPASS which is available at Maelstrom.
