hmmm... if Spain comes in, who leaves? Or do they squeeze it in somewhere?

Between France and Morocco, allegedly. They have plenty of pads to add up to 6 new pavilions if they were so inclined.

Well, that makes geographical sense.

This article basically cites the internet as it's source.
What a load.

Wild speculation or not, Spain would be a good add (they're serving sangria at Via Napoli...obviously a test run ). But another western European country just highlights the huge portions of the globe completely unrepresented at WDW. The absence of African and south Asian countries is mitigated by their strong representation at Animal Kingdom. But what about South America and Oceania (Australia and New Zealand)? And obviously, with Epcot being built during the height of the Cold War, Russia was going to get the cold shoulder, but would be neat to see them now.

He probably read it here. Let's all start a thread saying "Coming next: KAZAKHSTAN!" See how long it takes to show up in the papers.

I agree 100% It would be nice, but bring in another boat ride or something.

"Several websites", huh? Is that more or less credible than the usual sources of "a bus driver" or "my cousin's husband's brother's best friend's dog's doctor's next-door neighbor who's a CM?"

I agree. WS doesn't need to be a land of 11 E-tickets (though some would like that), but each country should have at least a C-ticket ride. Honestly, I'm surprised that TDO hasn't added some character attractions to Germany, Italy, or the UK, god knows they have no qualms about it (Hi Three Caballeros!)

Not even rides. While they're preferred, movies and shows would also be great additions.

Sure it wasn't Scott Keating taking more of his amazing aerial photos of WDW?
Between their own master site plans, satellite imagery they have access to (including on the web) and sites like Bird's Eye, it seems odd that WDW would need to take aerial photos of WS to see what it looks like.
Regardless, the plat between Morocco and Spain would be a nice location. It appears to only be housing a few trailers and provides storage for a bunch of kiosks.

There could be a Borat meet-&-greet.
There was some sort of work going on there when I visited in May, but I was never able to find out what was going on....

Agree completely. Don't spend $100 million or so on a brand new pavilion; use that money to expand two or three exisiting countries with rides/shows.
