The Walt Disney World Canada pavilion is located in Epcot's World Showcase. It is the first country pavilion you will come to on the right. It's a great place to view Illuminations (light show) at night with its prime location for exiting the park quickly.
As with the other countries in World Showcase, each Disney cast member is from that specific country. They are wonderful to talk with about their customs and cultures. Shops feature items unique to each country, and most offer live entertainment.
The Walt Disney World Canada pavilion offers live entertainment by Off-Kilter and my very favorite WDW restaurant Le Cellier. Delicious steaks and dessert make this a must-try restaurant. I'm not alone in my high ratings, though. In a recent survey, Le Cellier was voted the most popular Disney World restaurant.
The main attraction is the movie "O Canada," which is shown in a circle vision 3-D theater. This is one of my husband's favorites. Every time we see it, we want to plan a vacation to Canada! Narrated by Canadian Martin Short, it is both entertaining and interesting. The only drawback is that you need to stand the whole time. Kids would be better suited just to sit on the ground and take a load off for the duration.
Check out this video below to see what it's like inside the O Canada Disney World attraction. Even though the video does a nice job recreating the experience, there is nothing like being their experiencing all the special effects.
Be sure to check out the age recommendations below.
Ages 3-6- Kids this age will likely be bored with this one. It's best timed for an afternoon when they have had their share of stimulus, and just want to sit on the floor and "veg out."
Ages 7-11- The younger kids in the age group will likely be a bit bored, so it's best to follow the same game plan as the 3-6 year olds. The 10 and 11 year olds will likely find it fairly interesting, but are not likely to rate it a favorite.
Ages 12 and up- Teens won't rate this as a favorite, but they are likely to enjoy the presentation. O Canada is really designed for adults, and is really a don't miss-attraction.
