If only EPCOT would feature an Ireland Pavillion one day... imagine a Soarin' attraction mixed with the Japanese bullet train concept but as a journey along the castles and gorgeous cliffs that make the country so beautiful!

If Disney was to give us the Ireland Pavilion, they should also have a dark ride that focuses on Ireland’s mythological side; like @DisneyManOne ‘s Eachtraíochta.

Main Imagineering Question of the Day: What scrapped country that was planned for World Showcase would you like to see come back to Epcot and why?

It would either be Switzerland or Venezuela. In Switzerland's case, it would not only have its own E-Ticket attraction but would also be another representation of Central Europe, with Germany being the other. Venezuela would not only have its unique aerial team, but also represent South America.

MA's Question of the Day

I recall reading somewhere that the Grand Floridian was Disney's attempt to bring a 5-star hotel to its' portfolio amongst the moderate-in-comparison Polynesian and Contemporary. But, it appeared to fall short amongst reviewers, for reasons I cannot wrap my head around, considering all in has to offer. It has settled as a AAA Four Diamond award-winner and gone without an accolade from Forbes, and that's a bummer in my opinion. What would you bring to or change about the Grand Floridian to elevate to a 5-star resort? Otherwise, for those who have stayed here, what do you feel could be holding it back from being a true 5-star?

That is true there is no representation of South America right now.

Oh @MonorailRed knows why it's AAA Four Diamond....it has something to do with attire. :bookworm: Families can walk through the lobby from the pool and that brings it down? (Don't quote me on that) but they settled so more people stay. She said something like that when we were looking at the award next to Victoria and Albert's and I was wondering the same thing....

So if that's the case...I'd tighten up the dress code in the main lobby. No bathing suits, no tank tops, short shorts, etc. You don't need to wear a suit and tie, but a polo short, shorts/pants, etc when walking through the lobby. I don't see them ever implementing that because they'd lose a lot of guests heading towards the monorail or bus, but that may be a way to up the award level.

Give it a unique feel. It's extremely lacking when compared to the revolutionary design and feels of the Poly and Cont. SO when your looking at the three together it falls flat, I still think the Mediterranean design was their best option for a hotel on that circuit.

This is the exact answer of why it's not a five star. So basically ban all kids and enforce suit and tie for lobby.
