Rumor Brazil is the frontrunner for a new World Showcase Pavilion

[NoChesterHester]

I'll never understand why some countries like Germany can't go further back. Also just noticed this but Italy is really small.

Because that back section was originally for their ride's show building.

If we do get Brazil.. is it likely more countries are coming?

There are rumors to that effect.

"Africa" as a pavilion never really made much sense.. it's not a country. Besides, we got AK.. which far outstrips anything hey could ever do in Epcot. Jambo!

a brazil pavillion needs a beach with SPEEDOS!!

The entrance to the pavilion will be themed like a favela.. as you move through the nearly hidden path back towards the rear, it will open into a sports arena.. and the background music will just be nonstop vuvuzelas and chanting.

It still would have been incredible looking after crossing the bridge from China.

Would've been nice to have the gondola station in Brazil. They use gondolas for transportation in Rio de Janeiro.

It was called "Equitorial Africa". Covering the whole region.

Much like the "United Kingdom" Pavilion.

Equatorial would be too big a word for the average WDW guest today.

About that Brazil Rumor: What's the attraction?

There probably isn't one at opening.

Poo.

So, in 30 years?

Why build a new pavilion and not include an attraction? They really could use an attraction in the equatorial Africa section too. Imagine the crowd dispersement if people were running back here, to France for Ratatouille. to Norway for Frozen, and at the front of the park for Guardians.

Whenever John Laseter makes a Pixar sequel taking place in Brazil.

Whenever John Laseter makes a Pixar sequel taking place in Brazil.

"Demi, a resident of São Paulo, appreciates fine cheeses and has quite a sophisticated palate. She would love to become a fromager so she can create and enjoy exquisite cheeses to her heart's delight. The only problem is, Demi is a stray cat. When she winds up in a back alley behind one of São Paulo finest cheese making establishments, the cat gourmet finds herself ideally placed to realize her dream... Disney Pixar proudly presents "Catupiry"... a movie that may sound almost exactly like Ratatouille, but we assure you, it's absolutely nothing like it!"

So, judging by the 'Phase 2' of Germany and Japan, we're never going to get one.

Makes you wonder. I believe there's a plan to have one but it's not favourite.

Will the actually make a Brazil pavilion or will they wait for a country they can tie an IP to? Just curious

As noted, Brazil is a HUGE tourism (and land buying) metric in Orlando right now. Both Orlando Tourism Board and the parks are scrambling to attract them.
