If you could design a Spain pavilion in Epcot's World Showcase, what would you include?

All this Spanish food suggestions are making me hungry. I might go to YouTube to start looking up some recipes.

I would spend SO MUCH MONEY on Ferdinand stuff.... Disney.... give him a cameo in Ratatouille!

A nice ride traveling down a watery path in a Spanish styled boat showing what Spain has to offer
Also a nice CS with good offering for a great price will attract customers
How about a store with nice perfumes and some toys for children ?
What about a simple book on how to learn some good words in Spanish? - since I know very little Spanish and the USA is starting to have both Spanish and English words at some venues.

I would think that Spain has a lot of potential. Flamenco dancing, castles, tapas, wine. I am sure they would need to have bulls too, but probably best to avoid bullfighting.

Does Disney own Ferdinand now? Since Disney bought 20th Century Fox Animation and Blue Sky Studios, it might be possible to bring him into the park? I'm not an attorney so I don't know what Disney legally could do but Ferdinand would be cool to see at a Spain pavilion. Is this similar to the Marvel Comics movies, where Disney now makes the movies but can't put the characters in the parks because Universal Studios does already?

Thanks for the suggestion. I have been looking at several to make this weekend.

Disney has always owned Ferdinand but done virtually nothing with the IP. Well I mean they bought the rights many many years ago, they didn't create him.

Do you think if Disney put Spain in Epcot’s World Showcase, the restaurant would follow Spain’s food customs or would they completely Americanize it?

Wine, lots and lots of wine and food, lots and lots of food. Shops too. I don't need a ride or a movie. I'm actually kind of anti ride in WS, I don't think the countries need them and it sort of takes away from the idea of visiting another country for those who aren't able to travel internationally. My favorite pavilion in Epcot (in the before times) is Morocco because of the details and the experience of getting a little bit of the culture.

I would expect an Inquisition area.....

So not next to Morocco then….
I’m mean I know Spain and Morocco are on good terms now but I wonder where Disney would put Spain?

 

[JaxDad]

I want to eat queso manchego, grilled artichokes, croquetas, and patatas bravas/alioli.

There’s always Jaleo in Disney Springs.

Well that would be a cruel joke to Real Madrid and FC Barcelona but I’m all for it! La Liga is having a rough week in UEFA Champions League this week… For the record, neither players are Spaniard.

What about a dinner show?

A show based on the classic Disney production of Ferdinand the Bull

I think there’d have to be something Dalí, something Buñuel, and something Gaudí.
No, I didn’t choose those names just to use the special characters.
