There are a lot of things they can do and get their hands on that may not be posted on their website. I have ordered Disney Champagne (only available at WDW and on the Disney Cruises ) and Micky Champagne flutes ( only available via the Disney Florist. They have reasonable prices and add that special "extra" for everyone's Happily Ever After.

However nobody is hardly in there! Now they have viking figures in there. I know its right there in the ipen but you dbe surprised how many people pass it by. and dont even think u can walk inside.

And the water in this area is brackish, overgrown with scum, and just generally looks horrible! Very bad show, Epcot.

It's fun to watch the crowds scramble to the exit, plus all the countries look great at night. The stores are closed so window shopping is free.

At around 10:30pm every night, the pyro crew at Epcot blows out all remaining propane from the flame barge used in IllumiNations. I guess they make a big announcement and countdown out of it, so people don't think the terrorists have landed. I've never seen this before, even though I usually stay late at Epcot. So this'll be a fun first!
