Define "full". It could fit a country with dining and merch...like half of World Showcase's pavilions.

I guess 'full' for me would include a ride, but it doesn't really seem like Disney wants to even do that with Brazil.
Good to know that it's big enough for a tiny country pad though.
As an aside, if they wanted to develop the pad where African Outpost now is (I know it has the fireworks fallout issue and would need to be enclosed), they could move the African stuff to between France and Morocco and use the front half of the Ratatouille land for a new African Outpost and have the full pad next to the canal/China for a new expansion.

Just add a train ride that takes you from the Outpost directly to Africa in AK. Really push that one-day-two-park-hopper
They could put a coaster inside a huge replica of Sugarloaf Mountain...

This would give an opportunity for a smaller nation to be at the showcase. Maybe one of the Polynesian or Caribbean islands could be represented

Actually this is the version of Epcot I was talking about not the stand alone World Showcase.
They were big on designing huge buildings with "exterior looking" spaces inside them in those days, but seemed to give up on most of them after the Mexico Pavilion and Universe of Energy

As as side note:
Dear Futurists... do you see how bright white that pavilion and walkway is? Well, in real life, it don't stay that way. It turns grey and yellow over time with dirt and grime. Unless you have the budget to power-wash the whole thing once a month, stop including bright white designs in your 'world of the future' projects. Thank-you.

The possibility of a Spain pavilion was a pet theory amongst outsiders who kept saying Spain was the next pavilion because of Gigantic and the necessity of only building a new pavilion if there was going to be a 'matching' IP ride.
They theorized that surely WDW would open up a new ride to coincide with a new movie, right? If that's the case, then how are we all enjoying the Inside Out ride? Or that Zootopia ride?
Well, Brazil is the next pavilion and it's being built without an IP ride, or any ride at all (according to @marni1971). So, the idea of "Spain + Gigantic" was always a fan theory and never an insider rumor.
Spain is rumored by an insider to be the next pavilion after Brazil (if India isn't next) according to our insiders -- and not because of Gigantic. Any national pavilion needs mostly commercial sponsorship, not a Disney movie that needs promoting. But, this is still far off and not anywhere near greenlit.

That makes more sense, I really appreciate you clearing it up. The rumor as I had heard was that Disney wanted to make a Spain Pavilion to make synergy with their upcoming movie (Gigantic), and that it being delayed could have affected its development. And now that I read what you wrote it doesn’t make as much sense as I thought it did back in the dayThe possibility of a Spain pavilion was a pet theory amongst outsiders who kept saying Spain was the next pavilion because of Gigantic and the necessity of only building a new pavilion if there was going to be a 'matching' IP ride.

A shame. I thought that was a cool idea. An animated musical with a male lead? Haven’t done that in awhile.

I know, I was really looking forward to the movie. I can only hope that on day not so far away the decide to unshelve it and resume its development

Wonder what the creative issues were. Maybe they just couldn’t figure out how to stretch the story to 90 minutes.I know, I was really looking forward to the movie. I can only hope that on day not so far away the decide to unshelve it and resume its development

That's actually unfortunate. Was looking forward to it more than any other animated films this decade. Just the concept I thought would be cool.
