I don’t think this is fair at all...
Look - to expect Iger to authorize more billion dollar investments in parks right now is silly. Where “revenues” are being propped by price increase and attendance is not going up? That’s insane.
The guy is gonna retire, has no Disney loyalty, and wants stock price...nothing more. They’ve poured billions into parks over the last 8 years...
And remember this guy sat on his fists for years in regards to Orlando without doing a thing...took over in 2004 and did nothing really but pour some concrete and ad a couple of kiddie rides in fantasyland till 2017.
We just have to be realistic. I for one said they weren’t gonna keep putting out money...not this group.
Sadly they’re predictable.

I guess it's back to Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse in Orlando for me... we were so close, yet so far.
I officially believe we will never see this happen, a shame.

I’d say “far” is more accurate

Maybe it was never considered unless you wanted like clicks.Well this was certainly most disappointing thing at D23 considering it wasn't announced and that could be for various reasons but I can only hope it is still in the works and may be announced at another time.

Ok...now that it can be said: why did you want Brazil anyway?!?
I think the “thought”
Process behind this was crap from the start...and ultimately was “there’s tour groups...it must be BRAZIL!!!”
There’s plenty of people from jersey...they aren’t gonna build a Newark pavilion
It never made sense to me.
Now I don’t have to drop $200 on Caipirinhas for Marty at the Christ of the Andes bar and grill.
(Though the offer still stands are spice road or the Italian place, Dude
)

Touche'And that makes a lot of sense...I said that I think using the Germany and Japan show space makes a ton of sense not too long ago...
But..but...before 2 days ago there was tons and tons of snark about something like this being an inevitability. A year, year and a half ago there was “in contract talks” stuff that no one here would have any direct line to with validity. Way over most peoples paygrades if that existed at all.
This is the TEACHABLE MOMENT...
Lest we forget when the next new country rumor comes up (I’ll give it a month
Till then...I’m just gonna play words with friends with @Phicinfan

Would the Newark pavilion have a water ride with high concentrations of lead? Got to be authentic.
I never understood the immediate move of everyone towards a Brazil pavilion. So many other countries that could have been offered.
Also, don't give up hope. I'm sure after the next few phases are done that they'll start looking heavily at a new pavilion in World Showcase.

Okay, so for starters, Brazil would be the first South American pavilion.Ok...now that it can be said: why did you want Brazil anyway?!?

Secondly, the culture there isn’t represented in other pavilions.
Thirdly, it’s the first pavilion in decades, so that alone is something to be excited about.

That’s cold...
...I love it!!!
Epcot pavilions were built on sponsorship agreements with companies representing countries and American manufacturers in the late 70’s...those expired mostly in the early 90’s.
Why do I say this? Because they haven’t gotten close to new meaningful partnerships since.
The model is broken...that’s why they haven’t built a country in 30 years.
Why does imagination sit in squalor? Don’t think Kodak going bankrupt and delisting 15 years ago has something to do with it?
Guess again.
There’s a reason why Epcot is getting ip stuff beyond “Epcot is boring to be DD!!”
Have to peel the onion a little

Literally one thing out of dozens of rumored attractions halfway vetted by our trusted insiders (Marni, Feather, others) has not been officially announced. Don’t position this as some kind of victory for the rumor cynics - there is a reason why this particular project keeps getting put off beyond just the notion of a collective fanboy dream.And that makes a lot of sense...I said that I think using the Germany and Japan show space makes a ton of sense not too long ago...

It’s not a football game...there are no “victors” here.
We’re all puppets...in the same sick play.
They have not built a country pavilion in 31 years because the dynamics of what Epcot is and how they were operated have changed dramatically...in fact...none have been approved since 85/86 and that last one collapse before it opened.
It’s not indicative of other rumors or plans...but it does define this type. Until this situation is understood and resolved...any country rumor is not worth sharing.
A lot of people talk and are proud of what they see in the mirror each morning...few of those outside bobs tanning booth have much of a say - however.
And FYI...I don’t think you understand what those “reasons” are. See? No innuendo...no nuance.

Around 90–91, Switzerland was planned, approved, announced, and never built.
