Marathon Weekend 2019

[SarahDisney]

SAFD:
I'd like to see something from South America, because that's currently not represented at all and there are a lot of great cultures down there. Same with Australia/New Zealand - I'd love to see one of those countries represented.
I'd also like an Israel pavilion so that I could a) get Israeli-style iced coffee (it's this delightful blended concoction that I never knew about until last year) and b) try to talk to the CMs in Hebrew, but I know that's too much of a political landmine to ever happen.

what country or countries would you like to see added to the World Showcase?

I don’t really care as long as more additions happen.

If this interests people I suggest a visit over to the Rumors and News board for more info on this and more!

Brazil has been rumored for sooooo long, I'll be blown away if it ever happens.

Well lots of things are rumored for a long time. Disney doesn’t let ideas die as they always revisit older plans and modify them to meet he needs of today.

Good morning, runDisney all-stars! 163 days until the kickoff of marathon weekend!

I was reading on the Disney Tourist Blog this week about the rumors of Brazil coming to the World Showcase, which I think would be pretty cool. So, this week's Sundays are for Disney question is: what country or countries would you like to see added to the World Showcase?

Just a reminder that the current lineup of countries is: Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, United States, Japan, Morocco, France, United Kingdom and Canada.

I'd like to see some combination of Brazil, Spain, Portugal, Greece (put in a Hercules attraction, please!), India, Australia/New Zealand and another African country, perhaps Egypt. Obviously, there isn't space for all of these, but one or two off the list would be pretty rad.

Have a good week, everyone!

Answer:
Spain: Because its a really beautiful place I and can say that cause i've been there!
Switzerland: Because its natural beauty and Matterhorn ( We do need the Matterhorn ride at disney world anyway!) I have also been there as well!
India: I have not been there so the reason is taj mahal.
Greece: Hercules and landmarks of the gods!
Brazil: Beaches and rainforests!
Australia: Sydney Harbor and outbacks!

I have always thought Australia should be included in the World Showcase. I was lucky enough to visit Australia on a cultural exchange program when I was 14. I fell in love with the country and the people! That is when I was bit by the travel bug. I think Sydney Harbour would be the natural city of choice.

New Zealand would be interesting too! But, I feel like the Polynesian resort picks up a little bit of that Maori vibe already.

That was a long time ago.
But it would have been cool if they had built all of those way back when.

Sundays are for Disney:

I love Greek food, so I’d be down for Greece. My biggest concern with Greece being added would be that it could sap interest from Morocco. I’m not sure my insatiable appetite for Mediterranean cuisine is matched by enough of the Disney consumer base.

Realistically, I’m not at all picky. More things to divert more crowd is always a good thing in my book. I don’t think Disney has the same priorities though.

SAFD: I think a Greece pavilion would be awesome. Same with at least one of the South American countries. Brazil and a Brazilian steakhouse would be awesome to have.

 

[Keels]

I'm basic it off of theming for Food & Wine Festival - and the two areas I think they always do a neat job with are Brazil and the Caribbean.

 

[run.minnie.miles]

SAFD: I think Greece would be really neat, especially if Disney could incorporate it into the marathon somehow! I don’t have a strong interest in South America, but after watching the Olympics in Rio, Brazil would also be a great addition- imagine what they could do with carnival! SA definitely needs representation!

A Caribbean pavilion would have so much potential.

A Caribbean pavilion would have so much potential.

The rum, the food, the music!

So would a resort... but yet here we are

SAFD: Assuming three open pavilion pads at Epcot, I’d look to fill holes in the regional coverage existing in the current set up:

1. Brazil (South America)
2. India (Indian Subcontinent)
3. Australia/New Zealand (Oceania)

A couple of others that I think would be good options, too, would be Russia and Spain. Both have a very rich culture and traditions, but have the disadvantage of adding to the current European heavy makeup of the showcase.

There are several open existing pads in world showcase.

They need to turn the African Outpost into a real Pavilion, I'll take any country over what it is now.

 

[Simba's Girl]

SAFD: Chile, Australia or India. I definitely think that including countries from ALL continents, with the exception of Antartica would be great so...

How about everyone's favorite food and wine country booth...the country of cheese!

Also I'm here for that thing about rum. Maybe with a pirate themed ride
