Fronting the World Showcase Lagoon is a quaint, colonial-style building, reflective of architecture in Central and Southern Mexico. A Mayan pyramid dominating the entranceway expresses the proud pre-Columbian heritage of the country. Inside the showcase is a gallery displaying artifacts from various periods in the history of Mexico. Beyond the gallery, visitors enter a formal portico, modeled after a mayor's mansion, and then a typical colonial plaza, where an evening at the market and a festival atmosphere prevail. Beyond the plaza, visitors begin a boat journey past a smoking volcano for a close-up look at the colorful heritage and attractions of Mexico.

El Rio del Tiempo

For all you "C' Spanish students, that means the River of Time. One of the most popular rides in the World showcase, El Rio del Tiempo takes a look at Mexico and it's long history. Although the use of animatronic figures livens up the show, it can probably be skipped on your first trip.
