If the Netherlands got an EPCOT World Showcase spot what would you want it to have?

[Corien]

OK but how about a pannenkoekenschip on the lake in Epcot?

Agreed on the ship, but we do need good access to water and we need some decent sized land... I think the only spots are either before Canada, or next to Germany. Which is probably not a good idea ;-)

As a Dutch person, I find this thread very entertaining.

Who is brave enough to try raw herring ? Salted or pickled?

Definitely salted. I don't like pickled nearly as much.

How about a ride made by Vekoma? Maybe no room for a roller coaster, but they have smaller installations like a Madhouse?

Oh good one! They have designed so many Disney coasters. Would be great to have an exhibition of some sort in Epcot. It ties into Sum of All Thrills they once had.

And a madhouse us exactly the type of ride Disney doesnt have yet.

For those who do not know what a madhouse ride is look on youtube for Villa Volta in Efteling (NL) or Hex in Alton Towers (UK). Https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madhouse_(ride)

A dark ride with Mickey or other Disney characters going through and getting lost in the art of various Dutch masters, literature set in Holland, and the beautiful countryside, all set to the music by Dutch composers. It could be something immersive like going through Starry Night in the Van Gogh experience now showing in NYC.

Us Polish people eat pickled herring, usually at Christmas. I love the stuff.

So does my DH's Lithuanian family, though he prefers his herring in sour cream.

How does Greece and the Netherlands relate to each other?

I love pickled herring- my grandmother made it, but she called them 'rollmops.' I just looked the name up, and it seems that the name is very widespread, and is from Germany, not the Netherlands. Hm. I'd probably love the Dutch herring, too. And I love eel, as well. My grandmother also made a type of pancake called a 'Dutch Baby.' It came out of the oven very puffy, but then would sink in the middle, and would get sweetened cream poured into the indentation. I wonder if that had real Dutch origins.

if clogs and windmills are cheap souvenirs, you can be sure that any Dutch pavilion at Epcot would have them- but they wouldn't be cheap.

I n Cincinnati they claim the Dutch baby pancake is German and is Pennsylvania Dutch who are German. I lived in Germany and never saw one there but who knows? I do know they are yumny.

If the Dutch win the 2024 Euro Championship, should Disney consider a Dutch pavilion even more?

Going to the Netherlands next year.
My ancestors are from the Groningen area, I think. Hoping to go to a World Cup game in 2026.

Eh, Disney would put a kid friendly twist on it.
