The day this is announced, I’m definitely doing a happy dance. I’ve waited my entire life to see new countries added (or at least since I was a kid and fell in love with the Millenium showcase offerings).

Me too lol, a long time coming at this point. Wondering though about the pavilion's design, because you have Germany and Italy which are quite large in scope, I hope Brazil is going to fit in and not look out of place. Since they had looked at putting it in front of the small ratatouille plot next to France instead, that leads me to think its design is going to be rather small for being between Germany and Italy. So will be interesting to watch it play out.

I wonder if the 'freak' chance that Embraer gets acquired by Boeing might negatively affect this.

(I say 'freak' since the Brazilian government has both the power as well as the will to say no to this transaction).
Probably depends on terms. HP became the sponsor for Mission: SPACE because they “merged” with Compaq, who initiated the sponsorship..

FYI- On the Christ the Redeemer of the Andes issue, there's already a Muslim prayer tower as part of the Morocco pavilion.
I've referenced it on here before, but I had a social studies teacher in 7th or 8th grade that hammered home the acronym SPIRE when looking at a culture. It stands for Social, Political, Intellectual, Religious and Economic. Whether, directly or indirectly, these are things that should all be considered in the construction of a new World Showcase pavilion. There are ways to discuss religion and politics without the presentations being objectionable. Christ the Redeemer is iconic as both a Christian symbol and a symbol of Brazil. While it's not absolutely necessary for the pavilion, it should absolutely be considered for inclusion.

They're going to take the existing it's a small world attraction from Fantasyland and spread out the "relevant" sections to each of the 3 new pavilions.
I hope not, small world is "singing animatronic dolls" enough and that has the potential to be extremely annoying of they go and add the darn fruitsalad thing to the dolls to represent Brazil

I'm hoping Coco does substitute the three caballeros over at Mexico and the three birds are thrown at Brazil since Zé Carioca is brazilian. Heck, they could do a country movie (Like Canada and China) but with the three going around. I prefer a comfy & nice to look at movie over some 2 minute bland ride with dolls I've seen at MK

Or maybe they could just make the Christ statue a falling elevator ride on the inside...but of course that one's never happening

My cherry tree is saying they build Spain Pavilion right after Cars Land phase 2 expansion in the new 5th gate for the 50th
