Would you want Romania in the World Showcase?

 

[Smugpugmug]

No. I would rather see more non-European country representation. Maybe someday we'll get the long rumored Brazil pavilion

 

[kanerf]

Sure, I think we ought to have something from Eastern Europe there. You could have a Transylvania theme perhaps. Would be great for Halloween.

 

[Disneylover99]

Sure. I like Dracula and cabbage rolls.

Brazilian tourists at Disney are just loud and annoying to be honest. I rather Disney just make a South American Disney World in Brazil.

I say the more the merrier.

Esmeralda could do a character meet and greet there too.

That's never going to happen for a ton of reasons. I would prefer Brazil or any South American country in general since there would be SO much delicious food they could add there. If I had to pick another European country to add, I would add Greece over Romania.

I get that. I made a thread about a world showcase Greek pavilion too. Edit: Well I thought I made a Greek WS thread a while back. Maybe the mods deleted it?

 

[sknnix]

Greece would be nice!!

I'm for any new pavilion in WS but the reality of Disney Parks in the year 2022 is that unless there is movie IP they can jam into it there will not be investment into a pavilion. At present the most likely pavilion, based on the IP model, would be Columbia with Encanto. If it does turn into a franchise as has been floated I think you'll either see a Colombian pavilion or no pavilion.

Yeah this is what I think too. I could definitely see a Columbia pavilion be built to shove an Encanto ride into it. There's an empty expansion pad in between Japan and Morocco so there is room for it.

It would have to be India, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before Romania.

 

[Mysterian]

I would love a Transylvania, but that would never happen at Disney. It may be seen as encroaching on Universal Monster territory, despite there being a real Transylvania and Dracula being a public domain story. I'll still go, but I'm just sayin'.

Greece would be excellent. And the food? *chef's kiss!* Has anyone seen the Disney movie The Moon Spinners? That was filmed in and takes place in Crete, Greece. And absolutely zero people are going to know that movie when they get to Disney Greece. But YOU will know!

Esmerelda could do a character meet and greet there too.

She's Roma/Romani, not Romanian.

 

[Moliphino]

I would prefer a South American country, since that isn't represented at all yet. Europe takes up almost half of the WS already, we don't really need another European country in there.

 

[1420Elexismc]

I mean... the food looks good...I don't hate that

Many live in Romania and I believe Esmerelda specifically came from that area and migrated to France in the Disney version (I know the book gave her a different backstory).

WDW is visited by mostly those of European decent and Europe has countries with GDP incomes to finance a pavilion. Most Americans have no interest going to Central/South American countries. Part of the WS purpose is to create tourism opportunities for those countries.
