Just thought I would get a poll of everyone's favortie World Showcase countries. It was hard to choose because they are all so good. I chose based on which "country" I spent the most time in.

My favorite has to be Japan. Great store, food and entertainment. It is also my favotire location to catch Illuminations.

I love them all and am very fond of Italy, but I had to go with Great Britain.

Gotta go with Mexico.

On a hot summer day...or a rainy one...you can be "outside at night" in Mexico without the fear of getting mugged or killed. Not to mention you can get margaritas there.

For me Norway is perfect; fun attraction, film, giftshop, nice restaurant, Little museum, good bathroom, pastry shop, beautiful landscape, and a great spot for Illuminations. It seems to be less crowded there during the show and the ground seems to be a little sloped so I can stand back where it's less crowded and still see over people at the rails. Really nice lighting at night but then they all look great at night. Plus I can look across the lagoon from there at the Swan and Dolphion my favorites. I do love them all.

Well I guess that I am just biased. My favorite is Italy. I am half Italian and since I cant travel to see my family there, I can get some of the sights and sounds every year in the World.

I *LOVE* that I can eat a Baci and drink a Lemoncello while I am there.

this was a tough decision. I went with Germany! just overall appeal. Japan was a close second. I would love for them to squeeze in Switzerland between Germany and Italy (only fitting since there is room and it actually sits between them!) we'd have to move the trains.

I went with Mexico but it was a hard choice!!
I love the little market, and the Grand Fiesta Tour. It is a great place to stay cool and dry.

Hehe will it was actually *REALLY* close between Italy and Japan, because I always buy stuff in the food shop at the Japanese pavilion as well. For a while, it was the cheapest (YES, CHEAPEST WAS AT DISNEY) place to get my sushi rice. I never did quite understand that.

So, FBI then? Neato. Where are you from? My dad was from the area around Florence (Firenze)

I went with Great Britain. I really think it has to do with the layout. You walk straight through it and can get fully immersed in it while most of the other ones are just a cut-out off the main walkway around the lagoon.

I'm from Coney Island and am 2nd generation American. My Grand parents where from Naples and Cappella. My wife's people (also 2nd generation American) are from the northern mountains, Piemonte. We do try to keep the Italian traditions alive!!

Ah, very very cool. My brother marries a Jersey-ite, but she doesn't have any Italian roots. But still, their first child is named Massimiliano (we just call him Max). He is such a sweety. I love my nephew, and he is a HUGE Star Wars fan, so I brought him back some SW stuff from Disney earlier this year. :)

I guess I would have to pick American Adventure. I love that attraction and the music from it :D
