All kiding aside, this is one of the projects I have to keep tightest lipped about. What I can say is that, of the pads that have been shown, it is on pad 4, 5, or 6. Said pavillion will have one major attraction. At least one pavillion will gain an attraction.

PS: Now that I think about it, in a weird, convulted, cryptic way, Fuller House does tie in a bit to the plan.

= O One of the characters Fernando who plays Kimmy's ex-husband and Romona's father is from I believe Argentina which could hint to a Argentina pavilion or more likely a bordering Brazilian pavilion.. PRAYS

speaking of that series.. I'm still baffled the narco and drug lord shows got so popular suddenly in the entire latinamerica.

Eh, it's no worse than U.S. culture fascination with organized crime (Godfather, Goodfellas, Sopranos). I never enjoyed such movies: "Sooo... are we supposed to be rooting for the drug peddlers and murderers?"

I enjoy the first two Godfather films (Idk why, I just love the tragedy of the family and Michael), but I just could never get into Goodfellas.

I respectfully disagree. In this case the story and experience of the Frozen ride excited our family infinitely more than Maelstrom ever did. The IP of Frozen was based on Scandinavian culture, so why not put it in Norway? They can't all go in Fantasyland. If a kid grows up loving that ride, I guarantee you that at some point they are going to investigate its Scandinavian origin, so the intent/mission of EPCOT is not lost because of IP being interlaced into the countries, it is furthering the EPCOT mission.

Now Monsters Inc. in Tomorrowland, or GOTG on Sunset, that's a different story.

Exactly what I was going to say! Frozen was based on Scandinavian culture, in this case Norway. Hence it does make sense to have Frozen go into the Norway Pavilion. If they put Ratatouille in France or Alice in Wonderland in UK, same reason, it just makes perfect sense!
Haters are gonna hate, Malestrom fanboys are gonna gripe, but I feel as if Frozen Ever After was amazing. Now it could've been better though, if they had increased FEA's capacity we wouldn't be having the downtime issues we've been seeing. Just goes to show.

not again please. This has been beaten ad nauseam explaining every single time why it doesn't belong.

Spider-Man: Homecoming should feature flashbacks to Peter Parker wrestling but this time as a luchador. Then they can build a Spider-Man ride in the Mexico Pavilion.

I always viewed ratatouille as a celebration of French cuisine. Why wouldn't it fit?

It would be a better fit than Frozen.

Having said that, Imagineering did a great job with a slow transition from exterior facades that are thematically appropriate, to a queue that has minimal references to animation, to the ride which could take place anywhere it's cold.

They've already set the precedent that theming is no longer relevant and all parks must be all things to all people so tossing that aside Frozen still has problems. It is woefully inadequate from a capacity standpoint. Ratatouille won't have that problem.
