Favourite area of World Showcase

[Mickey5150]

That attraction 'castle' is a stave church, which are typical for the real Norway.

I'm going to be a pest and say that this is what the princessification of Norway has done. Once the Stave Church housed an exhibit about stave church architecture. Which gave guests, children, a feel for the real thing. Nowadays it houses cartoons, leaving guests utterly uninformed, even misinformed. Swell place to take one's kids.


In effect, the EPCOT Stave Church IS the Disneyfied version, IS the fantasy world inspired by the actual Norway. Arendelle by contrast is an imaginary fantasy cartoon land, which happens to have a passing resemblance to Norway and the Nordic area because some inspiration was drawn from that. The Disneyfied version of Norway is being Disneyfied, until people mistake the princess toonland for the real thing.

Every movie Disney makes is based on the real world. The fact that they are showing people the connection between these two things is what I enjoy. Disney is a corporation trying to make money and if they want to do that by combining their world with the world showcase then I am all for that. I love Epcot how it was, I love Epcot how it is and I will continue to love Epcot as they change it.

The UK with the beautiful garden, cute shops and live entertainment. (Japan would be my second choice.)

I love walking around in France, talking to a cast member (I'm a french canadian, it's always nice to speak french with a cast member once during our vacation!), maybe meeting Aurora, or having a glass of champagne on a bench while people-watching!

Japan. I buy incense every time I go to WDW.

The bars, all of them, well maybe not the counter service cart in Japan as that sake was rank, boak inducing in fact. It such a wonderful cultural experience to be able to compare such a wide range of beverages in such ambient surroundings, and the only mugging is done over the register and that is an opt in.

Love the Mexico theme with the night market and volcano. Also like the walkway by the waterfall in Canada...and the trains in Germany.
