Plumber's Corner: Fountain of Nations
The fountain of Nations can be considered the center piece of Epcot second only to Spaceship Earth. One of the largest water features on Disney Property, She holds 108,000 gallons and pumps 30,000 gallons every minute. In fact if all of the 324 jets went off at the same time there would be 22,000 gallons of water in the air at once. At night the show enhances with over 1,000 lights powered with the help of 190,000 feet (35 miles) of electrical wiring.
The fountain is just that a fountain untill every 15 minutes the area music goes down and the show music comes up. below is a list of the tracks played.

Lounge Lizard: Tune In Lounge
Tune In Lounge
Tucked in between the 50's Prime time Cafe and Hollywood and Vine. This small lounge has a rather unique theme. The theme is that of a 1950's family room complete with bad wall art and black and white tv's. It can get crowded with guest waiting to be seated at the 50's Prime Time but if you visit between the meal rushes you can have the place to yourself. And as a bonus you can order off the 50's Prime Time menu at the bar. The drink menu is pretty common in comparison with other WDW bars but below is a list of Special drinks available here.
- Dad's Classic Cocktails - Choose from Cosmopolitan, Classic Martini, Grand Margarita, or Singapore Sling. Priced 9.25-10.25
