Re: Favorite World Showcase Pavillions
What about France? The film and its music. The food. The wine. Ah, tres bonne!
Re: Favorite World Showcase Pavillions
I do love france, especially the movie, and the American Adventure is a great show, but my vote is Mexico, the the outdoor marketplace and restaurant at night environment is just so immersive and fun.

Mmm.. Impressions de France is nice, but other than that, there isn't much there that interests me. And I don't have to watch that every year.

Re: Favorite World Showcase Pavillions
Sadly we didn't see the film in France this year. But I was really pleased with the shots I took of the fountains outside at night. They were really beautiful when they were all lit up...as opposed to the night they were turned off due to the freezing weathermindflipper wrote:What about France? The film and its music. The food.

Re: Favorite World Showcase Pavillions
I've got to go with England. The Rose and Crown. Fish and chips. We usually stay at the Boardwalk and enter through the International Gateway so England is the first thing I see in the parks when I return to WDW, so it will always have a soft spot in my heart!

Re: Favorite World Showcase Pavillions
France is considered one of the most authentic recreations. It has such great music looping in the area. The soundtrack to the film is one of the finest. Naturally sitting way back near the Patisserie drinking coffee is like forgetting your at disney but I just don't find I can spend as much time there before I exhaust all there is to see like in Japan, Norway, or China.

I do love the film in China. Even the upgraded film is still breathtaking (even though I miss the original narrator, Keye Luke)...

Yes, I love Wonders of China, but my favorite of the Showcase films has to be O Canada! I love Martin Short, and I like that it is humorous but still retains it charm.

Re: Favorite World Showcase Pavillions
I'm seeing the voting and i'm wondering if i missed Mexico. cause its not a homerun in sense of great pavillions. ok ok wait let me reword what i said before i'm treated like a pinata. lol drinks yes, food yes, pyramid...sure. but i guess its the fact that i live out west that Mexico does not ring true as a wonderful atmosphere. perhaps i'm looking at it wrong. perhaps i should see it as Epcot's Mexico is what we like as opposed to Juarez. i'll be back...i need to round up some German fans to get in here.

Re: Favorite World Showcase Pavillions
Actually that was a quote from an English sports writer during the world cup a few years ago. He was giving British fans at a Germain hotel direction from the hotel to the closes pub.figmentaholic wrote:Jacca5660 wrote:Remember when going to Germany it's two lefts and the third Reich.Croaker wrote:I'm seeing the voting and i'm wondering if i missed Mexico. cause its not a homerun in sense of great pavillions. ok ok wait let me reword what i said before i'm treated like a pinata. lol drinks yes, food yes, pyramid...sure. but i guess its the fact that i live out west that Mexico does not ring true as a wonderful atmosphere. perhaps i'm looking at it wrong. perhaps i should see it as Epcot's Mexico is what we like as opposed to Juarez. i'll be back...i need to round up some German fans to get in here.

Re: Favorite World Showcase Pavillions
I love the interior of the Mexican pavilion. It's one of my favorite places at WDW; I just wish it was a bit less crowded and that there was a bench or something where you could sit down and soak in the ambience. I also love China, Morocco, France, Japan, and the UK.
Re: Favorite World Showcase Pavillions
Good, I was looking for a thread like this...
Don't ask me, you all know the answer...
Even my icon is a tribute (I sorta ripped it off the Disney parks blog after the royal wedding). The UK, of course. I've always spent a lot of time there but it sort of escalated this winter...
Second after THAT is Germany. I think it's got a lot to do with my heritage (I'm about 75% British/25% German). At least, that's my excuse.
But it's hard to choose regardless because food-wise, there's too many options (save for America, what a waste of space... they could put the American Adventure in place of Hall of Presidents and open another country in WS).
