This unique 12-month program offers friendly, outgoing, hospitality-oriented individuals from the many states of Mexico the opportunity to represent the cultures and traditions of their country while interacting with Guests from all over the world. Participants hired as Cultural Representatives will work at the Mexico Pavilion at Epcot®. Epcot opened at the Walt Disney World® Resort on October 1, 1982. As part of Epcot, World Showcase has become "a community of nations; the only permanent international exposition of its kind, focusing on the culture, traditions, tourism and accomplishments of people around the world." This community of nations is represented by the United Kingdom, France, Morocco, Japan, Italy, Germany, China, Norway, Mexico, the United States of America and Canada. Approaching the Mexico Pavilion, Guests see a reproduction of a Meso-American Indian temple from the third century A.D. On the outside of the pyramid-shaped structure, a steep flight of stairs appears to lead to the sanctum of the high priests. This small structure at the top of the pyramid is flanked by large serpent heads that represent the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl. The courtyard is actually a museum featuring authentic exhibits from the ancient civilizations of Mexico. The sound of Mariachi music draws Guests through a stone archway into the festive atmosphere of a typical marketplace at twilight. Wagons and kiosks display traditional Mexican crafts. At the edge of the plaza, built in the Spanish Colonial style, are small shops that offer other Mexican products from hand-blown glassware to silver jewelry. A short boat ride on Gran Fiesta Tour, the pavilion's attraction, allows Guests to experience Mexican culture and history with a little help from the Three Caballeros. The boats journey across Mexico in search of the missing Caballero, Donald Duck. Situated on an elegant terrace within the pavilion is the San Angel Inn Restaurant. Operated by the same family that founded the famous San Angel Inn in Mexico City, this restaurant features true Mexican specialties from around the country, such as chilequiles, sopa de tortillas, carne asada and mole poblano. At La Cantina de San Angel, a counter-service restaurant outside the pavilion, Guests sample familiar favorites like tacos, burritos, and margaritas. Located next to the Cantina, El Ranchito del Norte offers Guests additional souvenirs of their Mexican adventure.  |
