With Huge Holiday Crowds Arriving Epcot’s Mexico Pavilion Creates Separate Queue Lines

The Holiday Crowds Have Arrived

We decided to pop over to Epcot the other day and were surprised to see the holiday crowds had arrived a bit early this year.

It looks like Disney is staying ahead of the game and getting prepared by getting their extended line queues in order.

If you have been to Epcot a time or two you may have noticed that certain areas of the park, particularly in World Showcase tend to get a bit clustered with people. One of those areas along with France and the U.K. is Mexico.

Upon entering the Mexico Pavilion we entered into a heavily crowded area with lines extending outside the large 36-foot Aztec pyramid.

This large pyramid houses the Gran Fiesta Tour, San Angel Inn Restaurant, La Cava del Tequila, and an open-air marketplace featuring a Mexican folk art gallery plus much more.

Upon entering you see signs directing to different queues and one of the longest and extending outside the pyramid is the line for the ever-so-popular La Cava del Tequila. It’s not unusual for the lines to get long here due to the very limited seating available at this location.

Attractions, dining, and shopping queues are off to your left and direct you further down into the main areas which at the time were quite crowded.

Crowds Continue Throughout World Showcase

Most commonly we see holiday crowds arriving around the 19th of December but have noticed that since Covid it’s much harder to predict the busier times of the year. Could it be could possibly be due to the rise in homeschooling or more work-from-home positions? Whatever the reason you can still go and enjoy your Disney vacation with some strategic planning. The cooler weather also helps make the crowds more bearable.

What do you think the reason is for the parks being busier than usual? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.
