They've plenty of space in WS for more countries without ripping out American Adventure. What could be improved is the restaurant at AA. It is embarrassing that all the pavilions have nice restaurants and the one representing the home country is just quick serve.
But, with all the other nice dining options in WS, and all the great "American" restaurants in other parks and at resorts, would you be attracted to an American sit-down restaurant in that area? I think it's ok for the "host" country to exhibit what makes us amazingly awesome, but let the other countries outshine just a little.

Plus, I think most visitors might look at the US as a hamburger, hotdog, fries kind of country as far as food...

I really like Liberty Square but also wish maybe it had another ride or attraction - I can only think of 3: Hall of Pres, Riverboat, & Haunted Mansion. It just seems small in comparison to the other lands.

Clearly space is at a premium. Don't shoot me, but I wouldn't be all that bothered if Tom Sawyers Island became something else.

I couldn't agree more! American Adventure would be PERFECT in Liberty Square and let that space in World Showcase go to maybe ......Brazil.

You probably will get a lot of heat for that :shock: ~ but I wouldn't mind either...

Personally, as the Hall of Presidents being one of my favorites, it should stay in Liberty Square and AA should stay in Epcot Center. HoP is one of those attractions that everyone should visit at least once in their trips to the MK.

And the nice thing about HoP is that it is pretty much guaranteed to change every 4-8 years with a new president!

As a new englander, I can safely say I would be ok with that change of beer. I see almost way too much Sam Adams up here in MA.

I'll be right there waiting with you; c'mon Goofyfan, a nice, icy-cold mug from America's oldest brewery, with an awesome eagle on the label, it'll be fine! Sam Adams is just a recent upstart :lol:
