Favorite "Side" of World Showcase
Was listening to a lot of World Showcase area music over the past couple days and it really got me wishing I could hop a plane to Orlando right now.
So in the spirit of living vicariously, what's everyone's favorite "side" of World Showcase?
The East Side (Mexico, Norway, China, Outpost, Italy, Germany) or The West Side (Canada, UK, France, Morocco, Japan)?
I have to lean towards the West Side. It has some of my favorite shopping in Japan and Morocco, the thoroughly awesome Rose & Crown Pub in the UK, great bands like Mo'Rockin, Off Kilter, and the dearly departed British Invasion, not to mention Rose & Crown's Hat Lady. There's Le Cellier and their Canadian cheddar cheese soup, the underrated Kronenbourg 1664 beer in France, and even the International Gateway!
You can use any criteria you'd like to decide your favorite. Vote in the poll then tell us why...and then join me in wishing you were there right now, waiting for Illuminations to start.

We always seem to go to the west side first. We love the movies in Canada and France and always try to catch Off Kilter and the British Invasion.
We don't eat in Mexico or China although we love Italy and used to eat in Norway before they made it a character meal. We are trying that again this year for my Mom's birthday. The want to princesses to fawn over her 73 year old lovliness.

Same here! Ever since day one, I always started right and worked left. Not sure why either. I can't imagine going "backwords" ever. So obviously I voted West.
Although I do stop in every country. I love the WS so much and it is one of the best parts of my trip.

This is a difficult one. I am a Norwegian-American, so I love Norway...and I love the Biergarten in Germany. I spent several summers in Italy singing in an opera festival, so that is special.
However, I love Japan and Morocco for their exotic nature (in my Western Culture eyes) and love champagne (Thank you, France) and love Le Cellier and STEAK!!!
They all have their charm.

For me, Mexico is my favorite pavilion, and Norway is second, so that tips the balance towards the East side.

My favorite areas are Mexico and Norway so I had to go with the East side. I always seem to spend more time on that side.

This is a very difficult poll! My vote went to the East side of the World Showcase, as it has my favorite pavillion, Germany.
Like others have said, each pavillion has it's own unique charm to draw us in.

This is a close one for me, and I'm suprised to see it so close in the vote. I lean to the East Side. It has my favorite restaurant - Akershus; my favorite WS ride - Maelstrom; my kid's favorite WS ride - Three Caballeros; and it's my favorite side to view Illuminations.
The West, with World Showcase Players and Teppen Edo, is great. But with Le Cellier going to 2 TS Credits, it dips below the East Side as I probably won't be enjoying Canada as much as before.
My name is Gator. You killed my Sorcerer's Hat. Prepare to die.

This was a hard decision. My favorites are Norway, Germany, Japan and the UK, but my kids and husband loves playing the drums at the Outpost and I love the pizza at Via Napoli, so I had to give the East side the edge.
