I think we are all aware of what world showcase is. Its a place to have festivals, and for people to pay to get drunk. Sadly thats all it is at this point.
What started out as a beautiful introduction to cultures, architecture, and wonder that all of the countries showcase in a time when national geographic was the worlds eyes to most countries, and the amount of people you knew that went to any of them could be had on one hand has changed. What was a tourism and goodwill experience, that filled you with curiosity and made you want to book a trip through your travel agent someday and see it in real life.. is dead.
Once travel became cheaper, we had access to a million channels, and streaming services that showed REAL people going to these countries. Remember what TV looked like in 1983 compared to ultra hd we have now.... Once the ability came that you could google a place and learn everything then book quickly on a website, the mystique and wonder have dissipated.
Also speaking to the native people of each countries was exotic at that time, now there's a good chance you know people from these countries.
So like future world Disney is having to reinvent it by shoe horning IP where it doesn't belong or even where it does.. its to the point that all of the amazing work by these Disney artists is ignored or not even noticed as people's heads are buried in their phones to take a selfie or see what ride times are/ get a lightning lane.
If world showcase was what it was, and stayed true to what it was in 83 and there were no festivals, it would be a ghost town.
Hopefully they dont destroy it like they did Future world...
At least the scary traumatizing characters have been replaced by loveable disney characters... that was an improvement.
