    Default World Showcase: Your dream country?

    I am curious what everyone has in mind for World Showcase - if they could add any new country, which would you choose? What would you put there?

    I think Spain would be great. A tapas resturant would rock! They could have a 'Tomatina' attraction, where you can throw virtual tomatoes at eachother! :P

    I would love to see Australia. I just don't think there's anything in World Showcase like it.

    I agree, Russia would be great. Even South Africa.

    There are quite a few, but I think the ones I would like to see most are Greece, Australia, and Russia.

    A few I would love, in no particular order:

    • Spain (the obvious and popular choice)
    • Israel (despite the political implications, I think it would fit wonderfully)
    • Brazil (South America desperately needs representation in World Showcase


    Australia would be wonderful as well, but I would rather save an Australian-themed land for a future Animal Kingdom expansion.

    Brazil (South America desperately needs representation in World Showcase)
    I agree. Either Brazil, Argentina, Chile or Peru would be terrific. Each has a unique culture, topography and history. It would also be great for many Americans to learn that South American cuisine is NOT Mexican cuisine.

    Greek food would be such a great fit in the world showcase. It's also has such classic (no pun intended) landmarks and culture. However, with Greece's current economic situation, I don't see a sponsorship happening any time soon.

    Hah! Funny, Tomatina just came up in a recent dinner conversation while we were out with family!

    I think any addition would be great, but Russia or Spain would be at the top of my list.

    My vote definitely goes for Australia. I think the possibilities would be endless.
    In need of a Disney World fix really bad.

    I'm in the minority here.

    Default Russia

    In 2001 at the National Building Museum in D.C. there was a great exhibit called The Architecture of Reassurance: Designing the Disney Theme Parks. One of the models shown was for a World Showcase of Russia. Disney does have plans for the country.

    I have to agree with Spain, Brazil and then Greece. I never thought about Australia as part of an AK expansion but that sounds like an excellent idea!
