NORTHERN Ireland is part of the UK. There is also the Republic of Ireland, which is usually just referred to as Ireland, is not. It's like saying Virginia and West Virginia are the same state.

. Geez, the point was that it's considered the UK pavilion because more than England is represented. And I know my World History well, so no need to get all snippy about it. You can save your educating.

That's not what you said. You said Ireland was part of the UK, thereby implying that a separate pavilion is not required.

Save it and go back and read my post that crossed with yours when posted. And if you want to get specific, where's Wales in the pavilion?
The point here is moot here all together because honestly besides a few of us nerds, do you really think Joe Smoe everyday Disney visitor is going to care about country specifics? No.

I would love it if they added India with a recreation of the Tah Mahal (also the second largest population in the world), Russia with a recreation of the Kremlin (also the largest country in the world) and Brazil with a recreation of the giant Jesus statue (although I'm not religious it is associated around the world with Brazil) and a nice Brazilian steakhouse. Greece would be great too with some of the ruins in Athens.

The Kremlin? Really?!
St Basil's is a better fit.
Plus, it's more recognizable to the World as representation of Russia.

That WOULD look cool in WS. Doubtful it's going to happen anytime soon, however.

Russians sure have some pretty far-out architecture! I would love to see St. Basil's in WS. IMO Russia would be a good fit for the pad between France and Morocco.

Some of you guys are talking about the UK pavillion. I personally would love to see the World Showplace festival tent behind it removed and the UK pavilion expanded to double it's current foot print. Give us a larger and better representation England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland each distinctively.

I suspect India (well Asia at least) and Africa would be out now as they are both pretty well represented at Animal Kingdom (food, architecture and in terms of culture).
My personal option would be Australia - as it would vary The World Showcase a fair bit (although part of me wishes there was an Australian themed section at Animal Kingdom - mainly to see the wildlife). I feel Europe is pretty well represented in WS - although a good example of Eastern Europe would like Russia would be welcome (just as long as Putin has no hand in it!).

I agree. I have to admit, the fact that the UK pavilion was not just England slipped my mind when I constructed the poll options. Mostly because there aren't many non-British elements to the pavilion. So your idea of expanding on it to include more elements from Ireland, Scotland, and Wales would be really great! There's so much history and culture in ALL of the UK that could be included in an expansion!

The difference here is that Wales is a part of the UK, and the republic of Ireland is an independent country.

Yea.
Considering the popularity of the show and the way it's interwoven in the past 50+ years of culture in the UK itd be a fun option back there. Even if your one word response tells me you're not a fan.
