    Question World Showcase Favorite Spots

    I love Epcot and the World Showcase. I'm not sure what my favorite country is yet. The country that blows me off my feet the most would be Mexico. I think this maybe because it was the first country that I visited in the World Showcase. When I walked in I just didn't expect the erupting volcano backdrop and the water fountain with that wonderful blue color.

    So now I have a question, what is your favorite country and why? I believe I maybe missing some interesting things because I may not have explored WS enough. I'm actually looking for some pointers.

    Cool

    My favorite World Showcase pavillion has to be Germany, I love the buildings and the background music. My favorite time to be there has to be at night, before Illuminations. It gives me a feeling of walking into a small town platz in Germany. (Don't know why I feel this way though, as I have never been to Germany!)

    Default Norway is #1

    Mine is Norway for the following reasons

    1. I'm one fourth norwegian (with a pair of great grandparents named Hans and Olga Ellingsen).

    2. It has the best ride in the world showcase.

    3. The viking ship outside is way cool.

    4. When my DW comes out of the gift shop/perfumery she smells nice even in the heat of summer.

    5. Sig and Edgar from "The Deadliest Catch" have appeared recently appear there.
    There's a great big beautiful tomorrow

    Gotta go with Norway. I can actually smell the combined perfume/cologne coming out of the gift shop when I'm in Mexico. Throw in a cool ride, a church/history museum, and a Princess Meal, and you've got a great pavillion. Not to shabby for the last country to be added.

    Gotta go with Morocco. Morocco strikes me as a land of mystery, and with the secluded rooms and quiet corridors, the pavilion makes me feel I'm far away from Orlando, Florida.

    I Love Norway for the ride and the Helly Hansen stuff.
    I LOVE Japan. The store is the best and Teppan Edo is my favorite restaurant of anywhere.
    Also, Morocco b/c of how secluded it is back there.

    Gosh, this is a tough one!! I really do love them all, but these are my favorites:

    Mexico- Ambiance , and of course

    Norway- Ride, gift shop, bakery (the Norwegian Coffee is out of this world!!)

    Japan- The gift shop is incredible here. I never leave without getting something from there. Plus, they have sushi at the CS!

    Germany- I love everything about this one. I lived in Germany for 5 years, and I speak German, so I tend to make friends with the CM's when I go there.

    Italy- again, the gift shops are awesome. Lots of good perfume and wine (can yout tell I like to shop by now ?!?)

    France- the frozen drinks are awesome.

    England- Atmosphere and fish & chips!!

    Our favorite "spot" is in the UK eating fish n chips at Yorkshire Fish Shoppe....sitting outside looking out over the water.....we just love that spot.....
    ....now for further likes, we really like the Mexico pav, the atmosphere in there is perfect, however the food has a bit more of improvements before we'd eat there again.....

    They are all fantastic for different reasons but my choice would be France. Love the shops, the little pastry shop, the movie and the restuarant!! We never miss a trip to the pastry shop when going to EPCOT. Wonderful!!!

    I must say Mexico is our favorite. Inside and Outside. I really love sitting outside, eating some nachos, enjoying a breeze coming off the water. For the inside, I just love the atmosphere. It is wonderful.

    I would have to say the UK because I love all things Great Britain, plus it also includes Northern Ireland, where my grandfather (may he r.i.p.) was from.

    I love Japan, but that's also partially because I obsess over Japanese culture, food and entertainment.
