1000% agree with kajunking!!!!! I cry at the voices of liberty and the American Adventure everytime. I love the selected lyrics to the song Golden Dream as you are walking out of the show. Plus its a great place to cool off after a hot afternoon.

America = my favorite country in EPCOT :mickey3:

I think I have already mentioned this either in this thread or another but I always get a huge lump in my throat during the American Adventure, Illuminations and while listening to the Voices of Liberty! If you are not already patriotic before entering WDW then you really should be by the time you leave!

I'll call it a tie between Mexico because of the overall theme and restaurant and Canada because of the rustic feel, beautiful gardens and great food. America "the host counrty of World Showcase" could move up alot on the list if they would get rid of the counter service hot dogs, french fries and chicken strips and put in a quality restaurant more along the line of the Liberty Tree Tavern at the MK.

Favorite Country is Norway. Mainly because it is the only country that has a character dining. Akershus is a great place to eat and my little princess loves the experience! 8-)

This is my only gripe for America. Everything else is beautiful and moving, but come on!! If that food is representative of American food, no wonder we have an obesity problem!

It's a tie for me between England and Italy. I love the food in Italy and I really love the Rose and Crown!! Mexico does come in third.

I think I already answered Mexico but now I'm thinking how much I love England if for no other reason than the Rose & Crown. I just love the food and of course the BEER. :mrgreen:

I have a thing for the United Kingdom and Morocco as I feel in both pavillions, you can really get lost in their pavillion and sort of feel like you aren't in World Showcase anymore. I guess a lot of the countries are kind of similar but I guess I just like the architecture, location, and design of those 2 countries the most.
I know this is probably your first flight...and it's mine too...ha, ha

Rain upon that planet Earth. And they rain ... and rain ... and rain. The deluge.

France is my favorite....love everything about it...the food, shopping, gardens, fountain, movie, music!! I enjoy all of the countries at World Showcase, however, on every visit, I probably spend 3x more time in France than any other country.

Just like everyone else, it's definitely too hard to pick just one! However, Japan holds a very special place in my heart. My late sister and I always had to have Kaki- gori at least twice each trip, strawberry or tangerine. We would go up to the Japanese garden and enjoy the peace, the gentle sound of the water, and the bamboo tapping the rock. If we were there just prior to illuminations, it was great to listen to the music and the announcements for it, also you can see those amazing torches burning all around the lagoon :mickey: :cry:

Yeah, it's too hard to decide. although, I can say the country I spend the least amount of time in is America....that is unless you count Outpost a country; I haven't even stopped to look at the merchandise.

The countries are all great, but my favorite is America for the American Adventure, which always makes my cry, and the Voices of Liberty. I could listen to them for hours.

Of course, the other countries all have appeal.
--the coolness of the Mexican Pavillion on a warm day
--the Strawberry Rice Cream at Norway
--Canada's Le Cellier
--Japan's cool shop
--The interesting Italian jewelry shop
--Impressions Du France

Well, I could go on and on, but it just makes me wish I had a trip planned now.....

Germany (for my heritage) and the UK. Also America for The American Adventure. That's my mom's favorite show at WDW (mine too).
