Another World Showcase Pavilion

[Pixar Pal]

I am a big fan of the World Showcase and it is hard to believe that there are only eleven countries in the World Showcase, which is an odd number. They are: Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, USA, Japan, Morocco, France, United Kingdom, and Canada. Well, anywho, I've been thinking about adding a twelfth pavilion to make things even. But what country should it be? I hope the Disney staff are listing to us even as we speak.

On an unrelated matter, I have a character walkaround question. I know there are Disney Park Characters representing Pixar movies. Here's who I think can be seen from the Pixar stable:

Toy Story: Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Rex (?), Hamm (?)
Bug's Life: Flik, Adda, Dot, Heimlich, Tuck and Roll, Francis
Toy Story 2: Add Jessie, Bullseye, and the Army Men
Monsters, Inc.: Mike and Sully

Here's the important question: Are their any Finding Nemo walkaround characters? I'm asking that because Nemo is my all-time favorite Disney and Pixar movie. I did ask a representative and she told me there were Nemo, Marlin (the father), and Dory (everyone's favorite character). Are they even walkaround characters? Are there more (like Gill or Crush)? Please answer my question and I'll take you word for it.

Thank You,
Kyle Bastian

There are Nemo character meet and greets near The Living Seas in EPCOT. From the pictures I have seen there is even a walking coral reef. Go to a site called *********** to see photos. I think it is at http://*********************/

I LOVE NEMO TOO!
Hope this helps,

We just got back from WDW tonight And Nemo was there in a sorts. We didnt see the live Reef outside, but there was a Nemo that was much like the mechanical Palm tree at AK (West Palm I believe was the name) and there were coral like Devine At AK. There was 2 there last Tuesady am they were awesome looking....

Not sure, you can try and edit your post or if it was a link that could considered inapropriate it may have been changed by a moderator.

and it still is weird. I'm no techno-expert but I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. The site just has disney pictures.

If you go to the Suite Disney site, you'll see that she has been blocked from being linked by the disboard site.

I'd love to see another pavilion also. WS is my favorite place in all of WDW!

Isnt there an Africa in the showcase? I thought I remembered it being befor Mexico.
Another good country for world showcase would be Austrailia(sp?)

 

[ILOVEPOOH1]

IT WOULD BE EYGPT. THINK OF ALL THE HISTORY AND ART.

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IRELAND, BUT SINCE ENGLAND IS THERE I DOUBT IT.

MAYBE GREECE?

I would love to see Australia !

I vote for Greece too. It's architecture and cuisine are unique, and it's such a rich culture. Definitley worth its own pavillion!

Africa is not a full-fledged pavillion, but they do have an area called the "Out-Post" where they have a little African shop.

DW has mentioned something about Spain being the 12th country, but there was a problem with their ambassador that messed it up. I'm not sure exactly where that information came from, but I did find this thread on the subject:

Spain Pavillion Thread

While searching I also found this thread regarding people's choices for an additional Epcot country:

Epcot Additional Country Thread

I also discovered that they set up temporary countries during the Food & Wine Festival! In 2003 they had 30 countries including Ireland, Australia, Russia and Spain.
