Great idea!
1. Mexico: Avocado Margarita at La Cava (if I'm one of the first 10 or so in line at opening to get a freshly made one. If not, I'm not big on the price tag for a pre-mixed out of the jug)
2. Norway: lefse or school bread at Les Halles (I miss Maelstrom RIP)
3. China: Reflections of China Movie
4. & 5. Germany & Italy: $20 Wine Walk (thank-you for the tip Oliver! And thanks to the nice lady CM in Italy who gave me a double pour )
6. America: Voices of Liberty & the American Adventure Show & a Sam Adams Seasonal
7. Japan: Mitsukoshi Store
8. Morocco: Restaurant Marrakesh, Tangierine Cafe & the Riad (Interior Court Yard Room)
9. France: L'Artisan des Glaces Ice Cream Shop (seasonal macaron) & Impressions de France movie

1. Mexico - Rio de Tiempo (and trying to get people to wave back when I go by their table in my boat)
2. Norway - Used to be Maelstrom. I don''t think I've ever tried school bread, so that's going to be on my "must do" when I get back
3. China - Enjoying the gardens and atmosphere and/or the acrobatic show
4. Germany - Biergarten - LOVE this pavilion! LOVE hanging out, soaking up the atmosphere and people watching in the courtyard, and watching the cuckoo clock - and I LOVE the show/food/music!
5. Italy - Soaking up the atmosphere and people watching far back in the courtyard, much more peaceful further back
6. America - People watching out front, usually also see the show (feel I should)
7. Japan - Love soaking up the atmosphere in the gardens/pools/waterfalls, with the "little clicky things"
8. Morocco - Have not been since Spice Road Table opened, so I might enjoy sitting on the water there, but prior to that, I enjoyed just looking at the beautiful architecture/tile work in the pavilion. I also love Tangierine Cafe, one of my favorite QS places on property.
9. France - Used to always get a soft serve cone or cup from a cart along the water, to sit in the beautiful gardens and enjoy/people watch. Not sure if cart still serves this, been awhile.
10. UK - Wander around gardens/maze in back - beautiful, and peaceful most times.
11. Canada - Wander around gardens/people watch - Gorgeous!!

Hmmmm...I too love & never get tired of WS.

1)Mexico: Perry adventures with my kids, along with a frozen drink from la Cava and some chips & Guacamole.
2)Norway: Either the Kringla Sweet Pretzel or the Norwegian club--in the Kringla Bakery
3)China: The Dragon acrobats we always loved
4)Germany: Can't pass up on a Brat & Beer....Also Perry Adv. is fun here too.
5)Italy: I like the entertainment over the years..From the Ziti sisters, to the Muse juggler Sergio, and I think they have the Flag Wavers now...Besides that both TS are our fav's.
6)USA: Love the Lobster roll during F&W, ANd I'm a history buff so I love American Adventure. VOL too
7)Japan: I like just walking around the grounds & listening to the subtle music..Also The 3 woman drummers...
8)Morocco: It's neat going through the shops. It's really submersive IMHO. Still haven't tried the QS or TS's. Oh. The Belly dancers don't hurt
9)France: Here's another one that is real nice to just wander..Not a fan of the Rest's but love Boulangerie Patisserie. Everything in it..LoL
10) UK : One of my favorite/if not MY fav. I love a cold Pint & then heading around back to hear the British Revolution...I used to love the Players, do Knights of the round table in the streets..Too funny.
11) Canada: Le Cellier & the Gardens.

Another for the Voices of Liberty. They are my number one thing in all of WDW. And after their set, stop and chat before going upstairs. (Don't worry, there are plenty of seats.) The voices are terrific people as well as terrific singers. Let them know Nicholas says hi.
I could add the World Showcase Players in the UK and the Ziti Sisters in Italy, there's just one problem . . . . .

 

[beck00]

Adding fish and chips to my to-do list for this trip. Love the maze/gardens and British Revolution in UK. Les Halles in France. Mexico ride while stalking the diners on the patio! Pick-a-pearl in Japan with a Kirin Ichiban on the way out.

Honestly, this is great advice. Carl at the UK Pub is fantastic and the Voices of Liberty at the American Pavilion is a MUST.

During holiday season love the storytellers.

Our favorite restaurants - Chefs, Tutto, and LC.

Also, like the movies in China, Canada, and France plus Three Caballeros and American Adventure not to mention just walking around the countries.

1. Mexico - Grand Fiesta Tour
2. Norway - Frozen Ever After, but sugar free chocolate mouse at the bakery comes in a close second.
3. China - The Acrobats
4. Germany - Frankfurter
5. Italy - I honestly don't spend much time in the Italy pavilion.
6. America - Voices of Liberty
7. Japan - Love to get a drink, and sit by the waterfalls / gardens
8. Morocco - Shopping
9. France - Croissant
10. UK - There are honestly two things that MUST happen here. I MUST buy tea at Twinings, and I must have fish and chips, either at the Yorkshire County Fish Shop, or at Rose and Crown.
11. Canada - Look at all the wasted space, and wish they would do something to bring it back to life!

Whoa, tell me about this $20 wine walk! Visiting with our recently 21 year old DD who is looking forward to drinking around the world (responsibly of course!)

 

[DiaryofaDisneyKid]

We can't go the World Showcase with our kids without doing The Grand Fiesta Tour and trying on Sombreros.

One of my favorite World Showcase experiences is listening to music and eating fish and chips. I am really going to look at all of these lists and do a lot more in World Showcase. I always feel like I'm in too much of a hurry in there.

 

[Pacolovestacos]

Italy - Gotta get the frozen italian margarita. It's amazing!!

Great thread!

Here's Oliver's wine walk vlog. Thank-you, Oliver!

Canada - Look at all the wasted space, and wish they would do something to bring it back to life!

Agree completely. They could 1) bring back Beaver Tails and 2) have a great little bar in the Butchart Gardens area or somewhere near the water fall/mist serving a selection of tasty Canadian microbrews plus a few Cdn big brands on tap. Big missed opportunity.
