There’s something truly magical about a maternity session at EPCOT in the World Showcase, especially in the peaceful glow of the morning light. For Bethany’s session, we explored two of the most picturesque pavilions—France and Morocco—each offering a perfect blend of elegance, charm, and unique architecture. If you're looking for the best Disney maternity photography locations, EPCOT is a dream setting for timeless, romantic portraits.

France Pavilion – A Parisian-Inspired Maternity Dream


The EPCOT France pavilion maternity photos feel like stepping into a dreamy Parisian street. With charming cafés, intricate ironwork, and fountains, this location exudes elegance and warmth. The soft morning light reflects beautifully off the pastel-colored buildings, making for timeless maternity photos at Disney World. I captured Bethany strolling along cobblestone streets, leaning against the iconic lampposts, and embracing her baby bump in front of the iconic fountain at the entrance to the pavilion.


📸 Pro Tip: Plan your session early in the morning for the best lighting and fewer crowds. The glow from the rising sun adds a soft, golden touch to your photos.

Morocco Pavilion – A Rich, Textured Backdrop for Unique Disney Maternity Photography


For a more exotic and artistic feel, the EPCOT Morocco pavilion provided an absolutely stunning setting. With its intricate mosaic tiles, rustic archways, and warm earthy tones, this location created a beautiful contrast to Bethany’s soft, flowing maternity gown. The historic alleyways and hand-carved doors made for unique Disney maternity photography moments that felt straight out of a travel editorial.


📸 Pro Tip: Use the archways to frame your silhouette and create breathtaking depth in your maternity portraits. The hidden courtyards also offer great shaded spots for soft, evenly lit photos.

Why Morning Light is Best for an EPCOT Maternity Session


One of the biggest advantages of booking a morning maternity session at EPCOT is the soft, golden light. The early hours provide the best natural lighting while keeping the temperature comfortable—especially in Florida’s warmer months. Plus, with fewer crowds, you get unobstructed views of the stunning World Showcase architecture.
