Perhaps the fastest way to take a trip around the world is by visiting EPCOT‘s World Showcase.

With 11 countries to visit, the park represents several cultures, and Disney Imagineers conducted extensive research to make these pavilions as accurate as possible. But did they succeed? We recently got some tips from our readers in the UK that there may be some inaccuracies in EPCOT.

We recently reached out to our UK readers on Facebook and asked them what some things are that they always or never do in the UK Pavilion in EPCOT. They had some interesting answers to that question, but hidden among the responses were some notes about the accuracy of the pavilion in general.

Let’s dive into some of the most fascinating ones!

The Bathroom Sign

One person said that every time they’re in the UK Pavilion, they “Complain to my wife that the sign says ‘Restrooms’ not ‘Toilets.’” Multiple people commented underneath that person’s message, saying that they’d noticed the sign problem as well.

Another person noted that the restrooms had an additional problem — they’re American-style stall doors that don’t touch the floor and ceiling. Honestly, we’d love the privacy of full doors, too, you guys.

The Fish & Chips

Multiple people noted in the comments section that the fish and chips are not accurately portrayed. One person said, “They are nothing like real fish and chips.” Another noted that the fish and chips don’t taste as good as they do back home.

These are an incredibly popular food item in EPCOT, so it’s interesting to hear that they’re not as similar as fans may think. If these chips aren’t proper, we’d love to get a more traditional rendition in the pavilion as well!

The Phone Booths

One change that’s for the better? Many UK residents noted in our comments that the phone booths are in MUCH better condition in EPCOT than they are back home. Why? They’re not covered in graffiti, and they don’t “smell of urine.” (EWWW!)

Thankfully, the custodial and security teams in Disney World are top-notch, so we’re really grateful to avoid this problem. It would be a much less magical photo op overall if that were the case.

Menu Questions

But perhaps one of the most common complaints about the UK Pavilion from the residents was the menu selection in EPCOT! Several people mentioned beers and beverages that they wish were on the menu in the pub or had been previously and have since been removed.

Others noted that they, “Always get angry at the menu, Shepherd’s pie is made with lamb, not beef!” Multiple people made menu suggestions for Rose & Crown, including items like Haggis, Neeps, and Tatties. Sounds interesting to us!

So the next time you’re in the UK, just know that it may not be exactly like what you can expect when you visit the real country. We’d be intrigued to hear from residents of other countries around the World Showcase to let us know how they stack up!
