there are currently 5 smaller buildings back there that would have to be moved for a show building, but I am sure it could be done if they wanted to...they could then even exit people through the pavilion...tough I am not sure if that pavilion could handle more of a crowd...they would have to lose all the gift kiosks to open it up more....

I wonder why Alice was never considered for the UK. Seems like a no brainer and it would def sell more merch than Poppins (sorry, Mary!)

She already has merchandise and the Tea Caddy. Honestly, no World Showcase attraction needs its own retail space because there's already tons of it. You can find Poppins, Sword in the Stone, Pooh, Alice, Robin Hood, et al in the existing stores.

Alice is kind of hard because you can't throw London or UK with it unless if were any, a particular quote but aside a cup of tea that's about it for it to reference in nod with or to United Kingdom.

I feel like modern Disney plays fast and loose with that kind of stuff I mean Frozen never mentions Norway right? Arendelle is just inspired by Norway/Norwegian culture

From memory: The architecture of the buildings (particularly the castle), Trolls are found in a lot of Norse Mythology, the Runes are based on Scandinavian Runes, Anna and Elsa's parents graves

Fair enough. I didn’t pay enough attention - the only time I watched it was when we took all of grades 1-3 to a sing-along version !

Mary feels like the perfect fit for the UK pavilion...It references London, the English countryside...She is the perfect Disney IP to be Ambassador for the Pavilion.
Remy perfectly fits the France Pavilion....
Still not sure about Italy as Pinicchio, while Italian, doesn't really feel Italian... Snow White doesn't really feel culturally German either....
Mulan could work in China... Coco in Mexico is an absolutely perfect match...
They need something for Japan, Canada, Morocco...
I just hope they stay away from the classic Princesses... Keep that in Fantasyland....

You could have Luca in Italy, for a Vespa ride around the country. Brother Bear for Canada?
