Favorite World Showcase Pavillions

Love the bakery in Norway. Everything there is so good!

I vote for France; while it doesn't have a ride, I have always loved the Impressions de France film as it really does capture much of the beauty of the country. The buildings have a nice mix of architectural styles and, well, Boulangerie Patisserie, ahhhh. Not as awesome as being in France but it sure does a good job in a pinch!

Wow... tough choice. I had to go with Norway because of the chapel and the Maelstrom. It's definitely not the strongest film though.

I honestly don't think I could pick a favorite. I have a few top choices (UK, Germany, Italy, Mexico) but couldn't pick just one. That is why it is so nice to have the variety of different countries. I love enjoying the native food and drinks and casually walking my way around the world.

CANNOT wait for food and wine this october!

I don't think I can pick one! They all have great things to offer. Now that I'm a little older I can't wait to go back sometime so I can really appreciate everything World Showcase has to offer! I really love Italy, I can remember taking pictures of my parents with the living statues there! And then going to Germany to get a pretzel. I think I would probably be most interested in Japan and China.

The more I think about it...and the more I watch videos on YouTube of WS countries...

I have to stick with Mexico. Because most of it is inside...you can truly get lost and completely forget you are in America...much less Epcot. Even better if you eat at San Angel Inn at a table by the water.

Wow...this is REALLY making me wish I was there right now!

Hmmmm....I do love Mexico to. Like you said, when you are in the marketplace it is so amazing...like you really are...well....THERE! I've never eaten an San Angel. We've considered it every single trip we've made (at least 5 or 6)...but we never actually DO it. Should we?

I think you should at least once. We ate there awhile back. We just love the atmosphere at the Mexico Pavilion. And we love the ride part too. It is definitely my favorite pavilion to visit, and I would like to eat there again. I would love to be able to sit near the water/ride next time.

I can't wait to see the real France soon but I do agree, it is a darn good mock-up!

As much as I adore the UK pavilion above all else, the poor place is so sterotyped.... Disney could have done better representing that country.

Each place is the reader's digest version of the country, so sterotypes run deep. That and the countries did approve of the designs, so go yell at the UK.

Well you have to remember that they have a fairly small area to show you as much as they can about a country, so there has to be some generalization. I can give Italy as an example since I am half Italian and have been there more than once and still have family there.
The north of the country is so much different than the south, the food, the culture, even the language is different. most of what they have there is from around Rome what most people think of when they think of Italy, but it is only a small part.

My friend here can attest to that, and that they also react the same way to being stabbed.

One of my friends who worked there complained to the management because he was Scottish and felt Scotland was under-represented (but he was full of himself anyways ) and basically he got laughed at and told to deal with it because the pavilion was designed as such and there was no changing it.

[Wizzard419]

Ok, we will add deep fried everything and used heroin needles all over the place to give him a feeling of home.

I chose Morocco but as usual with these polls I was torn.I'm a HUGE UK fan so I really like that as well.When we went through Morocco though,I really felt like I was there with the way the street is layed out.

Close one, Norway because it has the best ride in the Showcase or UK because it looks a lot like the village where my grandparents live?

Maelstrom is cool, but I still love the Gran Fiesta Tour. I guess its just cause I am such a huge fan of the Three Caballeros.
