Love
Norway--Love the store, love Kringla, love Maelstrom, love Stave Church
United Kingdom--Our home resort is Boardwalk, so we almost always enter through that entrance, and turn left. UK is usually my first feeling of, "I'm home." I also love the back garden.
Japan--Best Store. Love the Candy Lady, and the drums. Kaki Gori!
Mexico--Spectacular, unlike anything else in Disney. Also...Avocado Margarita!
Morocco--If I could only visit one Epcot country, it would be Morocco. Gorgeous!
Like
France--I have a love of France the country, and have studied it extensively. I have lovely memories of Paris, and I feel twinges of those while in Epcot's version of France.
China--Still enjoy it.
Italy--Great restaurants, just not as high up on my list as others.
If I have time:
Germany
Canada
United States

Perfection
1. Mexico: you are inside a Mexican town...at night...with a giant temple/pyramid you can eat next to. And there is a ride with Donald...also, TEQUILA.
2. Norway: love the troll ride, the little church/museum is nice and plays music from Lord of the Rings, the gift shops are interesting. never ate at the restaurant but hey, its there. amazing smelling perfume
3. China: just beautiful. the movie makes me want to visit China. the acrobats that perform are mind blowing.
4. Japan: also beautiful. love Tokyo Dining. probably has the best gift shop of all the countries. Could use a ride/show.
Almost Perfect
5. US: kind of boring looking on the outside. why no table service restaurant? the only saving grace is the American Adventure.
6. France: very charming look. movie that has seats! good restaurant (even if the chef is a little questionable). good gift shops. and grey goose slushies.
7. Germany: very beautiful look. interesting restaurant that makes you feel like your in a German town. great gift shops. could use a ride.
8. UK: good look. gift shops could use a little work. like the comedic story tellers but why isn't there a ride or movie?
9. Morocco: incredible look. favorite counter service restaurant. like the idea of the bazaar type gift shop, but never find anything I want there. could really use a ride.
Needs Work
10. Canada: pretty but not amazing. le cellier is overhyped (to me). at least they have a movie. gift shop is pretty cool. just needs a little something more for me.
11. Italy: very pretty on the outside. great restaurant in Via Napoli. gift shops are too overpriced for me. really could benefit from a ride or movie.

I'd rather be in any pavilion in Epcot than anywhere else in any given day, but what the heck .... here we go:
1. France - Bordeaux, breakfast at the bakery, and citron slushies. It's one of the first destinations on any trip, and what's better than a glass of Bordeaux while watching Illuminations from the bridge ? Objectively, I'd probably put France below the next two, but it's always the first place where I catch my breath on a trip and start to relax.
2. UK - Our first stop whenever we get to Disney. Claims the #2 spot solely on the strength of Carl the Bartender and the Rose & Crown, where we get our usual "start of vacation" Black & Tan, and then a Pimm's Cup to wander the park with. Also home to the biggest and cleanest bathrooms in the World Showcase, which is critical.
3. Italy - Tutto Gusto, 3 great places to eat, and the most fun cast members in all of WDW. What more need be said ?
4. Germany - Love the theming. Kids love to get a treat at Karamel Kuche while Dad gets a giant beer and a brat in a pretzel roll. The world is happy. Don't underestimate the appeal of the Riesling wine flight nestled in the back, either.
5. Norway - Love the ambiance. Always in awe at how incredibly attractive every single Norwegian woman in the pavilion is as well. On a hot day, a cold Carlsberg while sitting on the bench getting the full breeze off the lagoon is great.
6. Morocco - Tangerine Cafe falafel sandwiches are from the heavens. The music show gets a little loud, but wandering through the shops has yielded some great treasures.
7. Japan - The decor is a little dated. Love Teppan Edo, and the the department store is always fun, although the wife and kids spend too much time there. Thankfully, there is a sake bar in a quiet little corner, to occupy dad's time.
8. Mexico - I really like the decor, but I rarely make it to this part of the showcase. Also, I haven't been able to touch tequila in 25 years, which limits the appeal of this country.
9. American Adventure - Dear Disney - this pavilion is a mess. The show is fine, but why in God's Green Earth is there not a giant BBQ restaurant and a microbrew pub to rival Tutto Gusto or La Cava de Tequila here ? Please message me - I can turn this around for you in no time.
10. Canada - My office is a 10 minute bridge trip from Windsor, Ontario, where they have teenage dancers, an allowance for public nudity, a casino and Cuban cigars. This pavilion pales by comparison.
11. China - Never a fan - not since my first trip in 1984. Not sure why. The most fun I have here is hearing the echos in the temple. I usually sprint by the pavilion to get back to Italy for a glass of Gavi.

2. Japan - we stock up on sake every trip. Plus Miyuki. And Pokemon for the child.
3. Canada - cheese soup to go, Off Kilter and Martin Short.
4. Mexico - tequila and Agent P. Perfect combination.
5. Norway - school bread and Vikings
6. UK - Love the pub and the fish & chips. And the tea shop.
7. Germany -Karamel Kuche
8. China -acrobats and egg rolls
9. France - Grey Goose slushies. I love the movie - great place for a nap.
9. Morocco - I like the food. But kind of boring otherwise.
11. American - we never go here.
