Brazil Pavilion in Epcot?
- Thread starter Ausdaddy
- Start date
I just spent a few minutes poking around the Folha website, and I couldn't find any report that resembles this. Nothing on EPCOT, or Disney, or World Showcase, or anything like that, which talks about adding Brazil to World Showcase.
I could be totally wrong, but other than the Inside the Magic report, and the photo of the article, and references to these, I don't see anything on the Brazilian new websites, including Folha. It could be that news in Brazil isn't as viral as here, and minor print news like this isn't put on their website.
Has anyone else been able to locate the actual original Folha article? Am I just missing it? I would love to see World Showcase expanded...but I am worried we are all being taken with a photo of a fake article.

Good catch. Same here.
I stand by my earlier post...I don't see this happening. I may have to call "shenanigans".

I'm thinking that's the most likely thing...if any of it is true.

Would love to see a new country added. Will it ever happen though? Guess I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed.
I vaguely remember a similar article being quoted last year, did a quick search but can't find. I do remember everyone coming to the conclusion that it was for a food and wine booth.
Edit: found it, sorry it was Peru.

"Walt Disney World hasn't added a pavilion to World Showcase since 1986"
They also haven't added a major attraction since 1988. That says it all. I don't see nuthin' happening.

The wesh channel 2 article wasnt even correct, Norway did not open in 1986.
But anyway, looks and sounds like the same type of written article like Spain and South Korea did several years back. Would love to see a new pavilion, its been over twenty years now. Really???!!!!

There is already a booth representing Brazil in the F and W lineup.

The actual article seems to be protected by a paywall but it looks like the first result here is the article in question...

Yeah, that is the one. I wonder why my search didn't make it appear.
I had to specify the Sao Paulo edition...maybe because it originally ran in that paper? Weird, either way.

This please:
If a Brazil pavilion includes a Brazillian steakhouse, I am behind it 100%.

Epcot needs this new pavilion desperately. Something new and authentic would make a world of difference at Epcot...
National drink is a caipirinha (sp?), and it's great!
I'm no fan of most of the Brazilian tour groups I see, but I doubt a pavilion would make it worse.
While I'm as skeptical as everybody else, and I assume that if anything, this is an enhanced F&W booth, Brazil would make a lot of sense as a country to add. Consider...
1. No South America in WS now.
2. Brazil is a large, wealthy country that could help pay
3. Brazilians love WDW
4. American's generally think of good things when they think of Brazil (as long as they don't focus on the crime rate)
5. A Brazilian steakhouse would be a great fit for WDW. It's a popular kind of restaurant missing from the property. Price point is high, but the food isn't so strange that WDW guests would be afraid of it.
I'd prefer Greece, Egypt, Russia, but really, Brazil is an excellent choice.
