Favorite World Showcase country

Mexico in my opinion is the most well rounded World Showcase pavilion. Good theming, restaurant and ride. (well the ride used to be better...)

When was that? I love Mexico, but the only thing interesting about the ride is the beginning. It goes downhill after that. And adding the 3 amigos didn't help. Well, it didn't hurt either. Its still disappointing. But, I have to admit, its a great place to cool down on a hot afternoon!

Well, I kind of liked it better before the Three Cabelleros were added. I mean the attraction is supposed to be about the country and culture of Mexico. When I think of Mexico, Donald Duck is not the first thing that comes to my mind...Tequila perhaps...but not Disney characters. Nothing against the Duck because I like the classic movie but I was fine with the cheesy attraction as it was.

True. I guess it was a bit better then.

Probably England. I like walking through the shops and down the "streets" that are there. Not to mention washing down some fish 'n' chips w/ a Bass.

I like Japan. I like wandering through the store, getting a kakigori and enjoying the gardens.

We have a tie for me! Mexico for food, and America for the show.

I could get on board with that. I like the San Angel Inn and the American Adventure is by far the best show at Epcot, well except for maybe Illuminations if you count fireworks. I always get a big lump in my throat watching both of those.

I don't think I posted in this thread already.

I love Japan. I like to eat, shop, and wander there. I also like the theming of Mexico. I wish it were a little more expansive, though.

They're all great, but I give my vote to Norway for 2 reasons: #1: my troll friends on Maelstrom and #2 the delicious Norwegian baked-goods-YUM!

It really is a tough choice. We always seem to end-up in Germany to eat, but we also spend a great deal of time in Canada (especially when Off-Kilter is playing).

I agree with WVParkfan, this is a tough call! We really love Mexico, the little village is so cute, great food and we love how they updated the ride with Donald! We also enjoy Italy.

Everytime I go my favorite changes, I love them all in different ways..

My favorite is Japan at the moment because they have the best shop (which has just got better over the years), the shop has expanded over the last couple of years making room for more japanese items and cutting out some of the tacky anime and japanese cartoon merchandise and replacing it with more authentic items such as pottery, food, clothing and accessories, paper crafts, bonzai and more. It also has lots of restaurants for every taste and budget from Yakitori House which sells cheap food from tampura to teriaki chicken to the more expensive restaurants Teppan Edo and Mitsukoshi Tokyo Dining. Japan also has two live acts - Matsuriza Japanese taiko drumming which takes place several times a day as well as Miyuki - the Japanese candy artist from Tokyo who sculpts any animal you ask her to out of candy (she is meant to be the only japanese lady to practice this art?), also in the back of the pavilion is the Bijutsu-kan Gallery which has regulary changing exhibitions that range from tin toys to carvings to japanese baseball. There is also a nice serene area in japan near yakitori house that is like a small garden which features ponds full of koi and lots of shady areas to sit and relax, and of course the cherry on the cake is the kaki gori stand which sells snow cones (cherry is the best - although not very well advertised compared to the other flavors of strawberry, melon, tangerine and rainbow) a perfect thing to eat when the florida sun is at its hottest! (my second favorite is mexico!!)
