Guest Spotted Fishing in EPCOT World Showcase Waterways
Well… that’s one way to go “off the hook” at EPCOT. A viral social media video is making the rounds after a guest was spotted fishing directly in the World Showcase waterways, something that is definitely not part of the park’s official activities.

The video, originally shared on TikTok and later reposted on X by user @NickChaps96, shows a guest leaning over the bridge near World Showcase Lagoon between the Odyssey Pavilion and Test Track. In the clip, the guest appears to be using a handheld fishing reel to hook and pull a fish out of the water. After briefly reeling it in, the guest removes the hook and releases the fish back into the lagoon.
While it might look like a scene straight out of Living with the Land, fishing in EPCOT’s waterways is not permitted for guests. Disney maintains strict rules about guest behavior around park waterways, both for safety reasons and to protect the wildlife that calls these areas home.

Interestingly enough, fishing actually is available at Walt Disney World if you do it the right way. Disney offers guided largemouth bass fishing excursions at several resort marinas across property. Guests can also enjoy dockside fishing at select locations like Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground and Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside. There are even early morning fishing excursions that take place on lakes near EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios before the parks open.
