I'd change it to Peru and add Mystic Manor

I’m a little iffy on the part about Mystic Manor given that one; it’s set in Papua New Guinea and two; it could be used for Magic Kingdom or even a fifth gate as it isn’t culturally authentic to Papua New Guinea. If I were in your place, I’d make a dark ride that takes you on a safari through Peruvian wilderness with ride vehicles resembling the jeeps used for Dinosaur or Indiana Jones Adventure.

Greece. Even though I think it would never happen, a pavilion that is the Acropolis, or Mount Olympus, or both, would be beautiful.


A Hercules Stage Show. Hercules is my personal favourite Disney film and it has a great soundtrack. But it gets no love in the parks. I think it would be the perfect film, and show, for the World Showcase.

That's a great example of incorporating an IP that would compliment a Pavillion instead of detracting from it. Movies like Hercules, the Three Caballeros, and Mulan come to mind naturally.

With that, do you guys feel like Mary Poppins for the United Kingdom is a stretch? Of course, it occurs in and around England, but its story doesn't depict the United Kingdom in a vast manner than, per-say, Hercules does with Greece. Asking because it has been part of the EPCOT revamp discussion for a hot second.

I mean Hercules greatly misrepresents Greek mythology and culture. Right down to the name of the main character being the Roman form rather than the Greek form.

Don't get me wrong, I adore that movie and would love to see it in World Showcase with a Greek pavilion. But I don't know if I'd count Hercules as an example of great/accurate cultural representation. I also am a lot more open to IP in Epcot than most.

Mary Poppins at least is tied to real world British culture and the story is an important one in English pop culture. I think that fits better even if it doesn't represent the nation as a whole.

Mulan and Coco both 100 percent get my support though.

I don't think it is in Papua New Guinea -- unless I heard it wrong I remember @D Hindley mentioning it was in Peru...

If we're going around the world with the current lineup of pavilions I think the most authentic attraction option for each would be

Mexico - Coco
China - Mulan
Germany - Snow White or non-IP
Italy - Pinocchio
Japan - non-IP
Morocco - non-IP
France - Ratatouille
UK - Brave, though Mary Poppins is also good
Canada - non-IP

Hey, say I have kids around 2030... if I'd want to teach them a second language, what you would suggest?
Click to expand...
It depends. I would say Spanish or Latin just because it has the most relevance. Latin because it really does help with English writing and grammar and Spanish because it’s the second most common language in the world.
Second.. I’m only 27 so one not great at parenting advice lol
