New country @ Epcot....

[forever a child]

Texas!

The first one that came to mind was Egypt. But I also love the idea of Greece or Russia. I think Australia would be a better fit in Animal Kingdom I want to see koalas!

I'd like to some country from the African continent

Texas!

I was totally going to post that

The latest edition of the Unofficial Guide says that Russia, Spain, and Austrailia were being tossed around. I'd love Eygpt though, as long as they made sure to high light modern as well as ancient.

Ireland is already represented in the UK. My husband likes to argue that it's not really Ireland but more England, but still-- it's not the England pavilion. It's the UK, of which Ireland is a part. You can find Irish gifts and candies represented in the UK shops. There's an Irish pub at Downtown Disney.

Similarly, Asia and Africa are represented at the AK. Sanaa is opening with Indian food at the AKL. Australia has a great landmark, but they don't bring much of a culture difference or new food to WS.

I like the idea of Greece, great food and ride potential, plus characters-movie tie in with Hercules. But now Cat Cora's restaurant will be representing Greek food at the Boardwalk. I like Russia, Spain, or a South American country.

Ireland is not part of the U.K. ONLY Northern Ireland. The rest of the country has been independent of the U.K. for almost 100 years.

My choice for next country in WS would be Brazil - CARNIVALE!!

That's the DH's argument, but I still feel Ireland is represented to some degree and that I would prefer to see something really different at WS. The DH is big on Ireland. We talked about it when were shopping at the WS UK last week.

i like this topic...my buddy and i have actually talked about it before..
i'm gonna take my idea in a different direction than a country pavilion. i remember reading once that Disney Hollywood studios was orignallhy going to be an epcot pavilion until they saw the potential to making it it's own park.. so a pavilion doesn't have to be a specific coutnry/
in that spirit i have kind of two ideas...the first one is a pavilion celebrating Marceline, MO, Walt's unoffical hometown. I think you could make a pavilion taking people back to old time country living....w/ a history of walt, where he came from, and how he got to be where we are at...you can combine the old time, good feeling of small life, w/ a history of Disney.....my second idea would be a continuation of walt's idea of what Epcot was suppose to be...a city of the future...it could be a celebration of what the future may bring us. It could bring us what the latest in technology, medicine, and science and show us how it will shape our future.
just a couple ideas....

Egypt
I am suprised Disney has not done Egypt already.

Not that Disney would care, but Busch Gardns and Universal both have "egypt" themed rides/areas so I don't know if Disney would want to focus there.

India........bring on the curry!!

[SandmanGStefani24]

hmm...gotta give it to Australia, with Russia as a close 2nd.

[Mistli78]

My first though was Greece, it would be so pretty & great food!! But I think Egypt is a great idea as well, and South America definitely needs some representation Argentina or Brazil would be good, but what about Peru, Macchu Pichu??? I think that would be really cool.

I'd like to see any new country- but I would not be surprised to see Brazil get a pavillion based on Walt Disney World's popularity in that country.

Japan

(So we can have the Mt Fuji ride)

[tiggerbuddy]

Lichtenstein !!!! ha ha ha ha (only kidding)

This sounds like fun !!

With Greece you could tie in the Hercules characters and then make a huge water, dark ride themed on The Odyssey...think of all the monsters, etc.

A vote for Austraila for me . It be nice to see that part of the corner of the earth represented

It would be lovely to see Barry Humphries creations of Sir Les Patterson and Dame Edna Everage welcoming people in

Russia would be pretty cool! So would India.
