Top 5 Tips for Canada Far and Wide

- See Canada Far and Wide at your convenience after the bulk of World Showcase opens at 11AM. It could provide some relief from the elements mid-day.
- Many guests will enter the the World Showcase and immediately do the first thing they see, so it can be best to wait until after this first wave to see the movie.
- Prepare to hear some excellent music and be singing “Canada, My Canada…” to yourself the rest of the day.
- Once you are done grab a Canadian-themed snack nearby. Some flavored popcorn or poutine should keep the feeling going.
