The Imagination Pavilion is one of EPCOT’s unique-looking buildings!
As you approach this Pavilion located in EPCOT’s World Celebration, you’ll first see its beautiful glass roof that resembles 2 slightly truncated pyramids.
And to the left of the pavilion a large fountain adds a beautiful touch.
The Pavilion
As you might imagine, this pavilion celebrates the imagination in all of us!
This pavilion contains the Journey Into Imagination with Figment attraction, an interactive play area, theatre, and small gift shop.
This pavilion is also the current home of the DVC Lounge, which is on the second floor, previously home to the ImageWorks.
A neat landscaping feature is the hopping water, water feature. This is located on the upper outdoor level by the entrance to the Magic Eye Theatre. Here you’ll see bursts of water shoot from planter to planter, sometimes over your head on the walkways.
There is also a little-known (Less used) small set of bathrooms  around the right side on the back of the building!’
World Celebration Neighborhood
As part of the ongoing reimagining and restructuring of EPCOT, Disney has introduced the concept of neighborhoods within the park, and the Imagination Pavilion has been designated as part of the “World Celebration” neighborhood. This restructuring is aimed at creating a more cohesive and thematic experience for guests, aligning with EPCOT’s original vision while infusing new elements of storytelling and innovation.
World Celebration is themed around new experiences that connect people to one another and the world around them.
