The booth is located between Germany and Africa in EPCOT’s World Showcase Pavilion. Keep an eye out for the stand entitled Cork Toons.
Inside the booth, several different artists await their next customer before hand-drawing their faces on a cork. Once completed, the cork is placed in a glass dome for display.
The founder of the Group, Keelan Parham, has drawn caricatures for Disney for almost 30 years. The unprecedented idea came to him during the pandemic, and the quirky title followed not long after.
