For anyone not interested or not seeing how cool this could be let me show you old san juan which is what the current food kiosk is inspired by. Let me show you what a PR pavilion could look like, I am not saying this is happening, but if it did they have a lot to pull from.
Throw in a few piragua vendors.
yes Pirates has bits of el morro in it, but even so they could put some pieces of el morro in the pavilion or house an attraction there with a more full scale version of it.
There is such a distinct style to this city. I think it would make the perfect setting for a puerto rico pavilion.
Have pieces of the outside wall outline the pavilion with an incline walk to it.
I don't think I need to even argue about the food and beverage that would make this pavilion unique.

I would rather have India be part of WS than PR. Then again Chupacabara: The Ride could be cool....I envision a lot of strobe lights though shortly after opening.
There's a number of expansion pads for (more than) one new pavilion....
Fortunately/Unfortunately despite all of the speculation here, one of Disney World's top spokespeople tells me this 100% is NOT happening. This is someone I have talked to on & off the record for years and has never steered me wrong. She did not say "we are constantly evaluating our offerings" she did not say " We do not comment on rumors." She didn't even (reflexively) say "The safety and comfort of our guests and cast members is our number one concern at the Walt Disney World Resort." Her first words to me as I answered the phone at Local 6 were: Not true. Not Happening. Before I could even say hello or she could tell me her name. I pressed. She did not waver. I've NEVER had a Disney person deny something so completely and emphatically. And I've gone back and forth with them more than a few times. I think this is a dead rumor unless someone has some really good evidence otherwise.

What fun! Eleven pages (so far) of posts based on an unsubstantiated article in what seems to be an essentially tabloid type newspaper. A lesson learned is not to believe everything you read just because it is printed somewhere.

Brainstorming is fine and can be quite educational, it also is often fun to read the various posts.. And if you want to dream, dream on. But why base it on something read that is unsubstantiated and almost certainly never going to happen?

I am only repeating what some REAL insiders, here at WDW and elsewhere, repeated in the last years over and over again after the opening of DAK. There will be no Equatorial/Central Africa-themed pavilion at WS planned anymore as Disney considers this topic covered by the Africa in DAK and there will be no Swiss Pavilion in WS with a WDW Matterhorn because of Expedition Everest.

Ok, see, no one is getting the connection here. Disney cut OffKilter, Mo Rockin, Fife and Drum etc.- but they had a plan all along. When the new Puerto Rico pavilion opens THIS will replace the missing musical/stage entertainment. And you thought they were just cheap....

Same.
Terrible parade. My permanent back damage can attest to that.
I love it how people talk about things that don't affect them, nor that they know a thing about. Don't you?

DONT GIVE THEM IDEAS.
WDW is already bursting with charges on top of charges.
they already rolled charges over charges over charges!.

as much as im not doubting talks like that taking place, those are totally stupid reasons and shouldn't be factored into what is or isn't built at WS, it should be a collection of the world in its own right, and as these pavillions were suppose to showcase the culture and history of the nations, they would be different
expedition everest has nothing to do with the swiss, as far as showcasing the culture in any way shape or form.
and africa at dak, while similar, its still different, and i'm sure theres way more different aspects of culture that could be looked at / showcased, hence the name showcase.

sadly, most of that is funneled towards Mr. Carlos Slim's secret stash, Politician's wallets and Narcs lol
