Rumor: EPCOT New Countries Coming!

[EUROPACL]

That's all we need. More rude brazilians coming.

Just think of it though...you could just go and sit at any table you wanted without ADRs because you got there first, you could just push you way to the front of any line at any store and if they say anything to you just cuss at them in English.

Please, do not generalize Brazilians like that.

I know that there are tour groups that are rude and terrible, but we're not all like that. I also hate these groups, but I'd never do such things as lots of them do (I know of some people that went with groups and caused no problems, I think that the groups of mainly teens are worse probably)

I've been to WDW 4 times, about to return for my fifth and I was ALWAYS polite with people and followed all rules (even on my first time when I was 5 and didn't speak english. Actually I asked my parents to start learning english right after we returned from this first trip in 1989, cause I had LOVED WDW and wanted to understand everything on the second trip!).

I'm saying all this because I know that many of you have met these groups and hate them, but do not think that all Brazilians are like that because we're not.

How about Poland???

 

[jeanylaser]

What about Australia

Excellent point. While those tour groups can be very disruptive, I don't think that it is due to their country of origin. It is more likely due to alack of supervision by the adult group leaders and in some cases, WDW itself for not attempting to address the rude behavior.

Ahhh...Brazil, nuf said on that

How about Austrailia? I think that would be great. Anything from the outback to the great barrier reef. It could be built in the shape of the Sydney Opera house. Whatcha think?

My bad Your right.

 

[TripTime]

Egypt would be cool. Maybe they could put in some time of mummy ride.O wait I rode that somewhere else already.I think UAE (United Arab Emirates) is a good idea. Have you seen the jack they have over there. Think of the investment they could make. They would probably just buy Disney.

Ok you got me with the avitar, i tried to kill that stupid bug

Got me too!!! Great avitar

 

[pouncingpluto]

Anything new would be great. Though my vote would be for Russia or a combo of Slavic Lands. Tsars, pierogies and Vlad Dracul's Castle! Now that's a party.

Vlad Dracul's castle is in Romania, which isn't Slavic (though admittedly influenced by Slavic cultures).

One of their princes owns already a large part of DLP.

I would love to see Russia, Argentina (tango! Argentina beef!), Australia, South-Africa or Kenia and the Benelux. Lots of good Belgian beer, Belgian chocolates, Belgium-style fries, and real Belgian waffles (I am always insulted when they try to sell me "belgian" waffles, ugh!)
Egypt could be cool too!! And India with tha Taj Mahal.

In the end, WS will look like a real-life version of iasm

But what I would like more or some sort of ride at each pavillion. A white-water ride at Canada, Mount Fuji with something in it at Japan, Soaring over China at China, ...
And better food options at American Adventure. Everyone has this cliche-image of the US that it just ahs fast/junk food. After many visits, I know it has a great cuisine. And then you come at AA and you only see fast food, tsss....

Aren't most of the current countries in EPCOT sponsored by the country they rep? I'm sure that would be a big hang up.

The only Epcot country with a heavy-duty financial participation by another country's government is Morocco. I think Norway had a Norway-sponsored national tourist desk for a time. Otherwise, the sponsorships have been limited to some corporate participation, such a beer brands served at restaurants, some outsourced restaurants, and the Mitsukoshi department store company in Japan. Originally, Coca Cola and American Express sponsored the American Adventure.

On the other hand, the Disney Company undoubtedly wishes that national governments and foreign companies would eagerly invest in new and existing World Showcase pavilions. But that hasn't been happening, so World Showcase has not seen any new countries since Norway in 1988 -- almost 20 years ago.

I'm pretty sure things haven't gotten much better in Africa either. Several Countries in Africa and large parts of Asia still sell their people into slavery...not to mention the Genocide, conflict Diamond mining and the fact that some tribes still practice cannibalism.

There's a big difference between capturing the culture (architecture, art, food, and music) of place and celebrating its government. Epcot can do the former without doing the latter.

For example, when Epcot opened in 1982, the real Germany consisted of two countries -- communist East Germany (which shot its own people if they tried to escape) and thriving West Germany. Disney wisely did make such a distinction. It was simply Germany at Epcot. Eventually, the two German governments reunified, and the disgusting policies of East Germany ended.
