I am curious as to which way everone goes around the countries and why? This will be interesting!

We have always gone around clockwise, starting at Mexico. Not sure why other than that it seems the right thing to do. Typically we only stop at a few places so this next trip in October we will probably linger a bit more and search every corner.

I am a clockwise as well. We start with Margaritas in Mexico, and eat and drink our way around the countries ending with Beer and "the Beatles" in England and shopping in Canada.

We have usually done clockwise, however on the rare occasion, we've gone counter-clockwise

We generally go clockwise because I think we find that the countries starting on the clockwise side are more interesting (we like/d Rio del Tiempo, Maelstrom, and China's 360) whereas we generally find the Canada, UK, and French pavilions somewhat boring.

I unfortunately have to be the oddball here and say that I have not really noticed which direction I go more often. It usually depends on where I am coming from. Coming from Test Track I will go clockwise after taking the path between TT and Mexico that goes by the Odyssey. If coming from Soarin', then it's counter clockwise after using the path near JII that comes out near the Canada Refreshment Port. If coming into World Showcase Plaza, it depends on where I am heading to. Tutto Italia = clockwise, Yakitori House = counter-clockwise. I guess I am one of those odd ones who just gets to my destination and then relaxes.

No, you aren't odd at all, I do the same thing. It all depends on what attraction I did last in Future World. Though, I do prefer going anti-clockwise. Start the tour in Canada, have a beer in UK, pastries in France, coffee in Morocco, Sake in Japan, Beer in Germany, Pastry and chocolate in Norway, and finish with a margarita in Mexico...then stumble back to my hotel and pass out.

What a cool topic...I never would have thought to ask! So funny how everyone has a particular way they do things, isn't it? We always did clockwise and entered at Mexico.

If we're touring it's always clockwise - I don't know why, especially since people generally tend to head right when given the option.

Usually clockwise - starting in Mexico, and a churro!

I can't really pick one. When I go to Epcot I tend to move around based on which ever restaurant I have a reservation at.

Interesting how I agree with people go right if given a choice (at least here in the states). It looks like on this topic most are deviating from that and go left. And in MK and AK, I believe we also go left! HS doesn't really have a true hub which might explain why we are all over the place when there.

The exception to this for World Showcase is when we are staying in the Epcot resorts and enter via. International Gateway, we always go right from that point.

I never really gave this much thought...but we do start counter clockwise, I guess we're drawn to that direction! I like started out towards Canada and some pastries in France! YUM!

People may tend to draw left because, if you're coming over the main bridge that connects Future World and the World Showcase, Mexico is closer (or at least seems closer) or more visible.

I almost always go counterclockwise from Canada if we're just walking around, but we do go both ways (sounds kinky..) if we're headed for a particular destination, based on whichever is closer.
