I love them all! But if I had to pick my favorites I would say Mexico and Norway. I do love the French pastries though and my husband enjoys the American Adventure... This is a tough one!

I have two favorites. Mexico for the ride. England was The Rose & Crown Pub. They serve a lamb & barley soup that is out of this world! But, then so is the shepherd's pie.

I bought a Mickey Cookbook to get the Lamb & Barley soup recipe. I make a huge pot and freeze it. The soup is great hot or cold.

That's a hard one to pick. I would have to say Mexico for the indoor/outdoor nighttime area. That was always cool.

If I had to pick one it would be America for the American Adventure attraction

I have been to all of the real countries that feature in the showcase with the exception of Mexico, Japan and China. So my favorite has to be one of the three I have never been to. Why? The showcases are like a small tasty appatizers....you just want more.
I think I would have to go for China. The landscaping, the pagoda, the food and the show. The real country is going to get a visit from me sometime and thanks to the show I know what I want to go and see.

It has to be a toss up between Norway, Japan, and France.

Norway has Maelstrom. Japan has the very cool shops, and France has a cool atmosphere.

I would say The American Adventure has the best attraction. I like Norway too, fun ride and movie. But I think Mexico has the best "atmosphere" it does not look big from the outside, but when you get inside the pavilion it really opens up.

Japan is great due to the theming alone. France was good too because the bakery is so good. But Germany is my favorite because of the shopping areas. They have so many neat little shops in there.

My favorite thing to do at World Showcase is breeze right through Canada and stop in the UK for a Bass. Then I drink it as I make my way leisurely around the shops and across the channel. Then I stop in France for a lunch of soup, bread and wine. I love sitting in Les Chefs and peoplewatching. Then it's off to the rest of the world where I drink and eat my way around the world ending up in Mexico with a Fiesta Margarita. :wave:

Ah, but your missing a cold Molson Beer, and a performance by Off Kilter! Those are two of the greatest things in Epcot!

I like Germany and Norway because I just love the look of the buildings. My husband would say Germany for the beer and Norway for the good-looking girls! :lol:

Don't forget the garden area behind UK. The atmosphere is very Dickensian after dark with the flickering street lamps etc.

Hmm...this is a really tough decision. Each country has it's own charm and it's hard to choose just one. But if I had to, I'd have to go with Norway and American Adventure for their attractions and Mexico for the atmosphere.

Oh crap, maybe that wasn't just one. Oh well, this is hard. :lol:
