What I want when I walk out of a WS attraction is a deeper understand of the country. I don't expect a complex historical treatise but maybe a few moments where I could say I learned something or had a deeper understanding of the host country..[/QUOTE]
I like and want this too...

It's a shame Excalibur isn't owned by Fox. Could've made a great addition to the pavilion.

It isn't. I don't believe for a second that you believe that.
As far as IPs in Epcot go it is a great fit. But saying that Mary Poppins has any educational value towards the UK is insane.

That’s not the point of a rumors board. That would be the confirmed truths board. With experience you’ll get a great feel for who to follow and who to ignore...like I am right now.

Yeah...it's easier to never be sad that way, huh?

You seem like a person that wishes you could drive emotions on an Internet forum. I’m motivated by minimizing my exposure to uninteresting trivial nonsense.
Mary Poppins kindly presents several aspects of 1930's British culture, such as:
- Kindness towards animals (feed the birds)
- Love of equestrian sports (the Derby)
- Propensity to support social justice causes (Mrs Banks' involvement in the suffragettes)
- High regard for traditional values (Mr Banks' insistence on routine)
- Tolerance of eccentricity (Admiral Boom's lookout and cannon)
Although it refers to the Ms Travers' series of Mary Poppins books, this essay highlights the emphasis on Mary's role in reinforcing the class-conscious British societal norms, while also acknowledging a slightly anarchist side to her of which we see only the barest glimpse in the movie.

I’m guessing the other IP could be 101 Dalmations

Without pulling out the list of IPs that are set in the UK, it could be. Though I think that ship has passed, since nothing has been done with the property in awhile. The time to have built a Dalmatian ride would have been in 2000.

British food is so... bland... I thought it was a fluke, but after my second and third visit it solidified my initial thoughts. I'm so glad that we've (USA) taken those basic foods from the UK and added flavor to them.
In regards to a ride, as long as it has more flavor and fun than the food, I don't care what it is. I'll ride it at least once. lol

Nope...I just don't bring a bucket and the "off" switch on my brain is busted.
The good thing is I typically don't patronize without depth...
That you need plenty of salt with it. And beans. The baked sort.
And no lumps in the mash. God forbid the mash is lumpy.

...well now I'm hungry...it's unfair to mention bangers and mash at this time EST
And crispy sausages. None of that slightly singed stuff.

...and the joys of feeding the birds. Just imagine what it would look like if they encouraged feeding the birds that hang around World Showcase.
