On the contrary. I grew up with Tom Baker and Peter Davidson.
I'm just saying it's not planned.

As did I. I also got to meet Capaldi a few weeks back. He was delightful.
I didn't state (or mean to ) that it was coming. But rather that it'd be a great addition.
I don't even think it would be a possibility. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Disney doesn't have any rights to Doctor Who. It's an interesting idea though!

It would involve getting rights, absolutely. But Disney XD did show a season of Doctor Who recently, so it's not totally outside the realm of possibility.

I didn't even think of Peru as an option! A Machu Picchu theme would be incredible, and I'd love a M&G with those characters!
There could be a tapas bar/lounge that serves sangria and/or a restaurant that serves authentic paella!

Woooops! Got my Russian buildings wrong. You're right this is the one that would look awesome.
The Kremlin? Really?!
St Basil's is a better fit.
Plus, it's more recognizable to the World as representation of Russia.
Then I'm gonna pass...they don't need more incentive to chant...

They also carry a good bit of Doctor Who merch at the gift shops in the UK pavilion.
I'm going to take this conversation to a whole new, completely different, level. So we have talked about the possibility of adding real countries to an already existing world showcase. A world showcase that is meant to highlight the different cultures of the world.I think we have inadvertently stumbled on to why EPCOT is kind of starting to stagnate. I'll expand on that a little later tonight as I have to hit the road for a meeting... lolBut I'm loving the discussion!
Now, there's been talk of WDW adding a 5th park...I would like to discuss the possibilities of this new park as if the main concept was a sort of imaginary spin-off from the world showcase. For example, if Pandora hadn't already been started in AK, it would be a section of this new park. The park could also include Atlantis, San Fransokyo, Emerald City, Asgard, etc. I think it would be very cool to see the imaginary worlds of the Disney movies come to life!
Obviously the reality of this park actually happening is not even close to possible but it's cool to think about and I would really like to hear other people's ideas!

I love the suggestion of Peru!!! Get's some South American representation without being Brazil, which makes many here anxious, plus could link to Emperor's New Groove (way underrated!). I would go back and forth on India and Africa due to the comments about AK representation. Australia seems like an obvious choice, and Greece too!

As much as I appreciate that large statue (heck, I've been there and walked up the steps to see it!), can you imagine the outcry if a large Jesus was built stretching out his hands and arms over the World Showcase?

People are incensed about the religious skywriting thats able to be seen for only a short while. A Jesus statue would get a big reaction. The St. George statue in Germany has stayed around because most guests dont think about that as having a religious background.

Heading for the great escape.
Favellas & gun battles,with football on the beach played by ladies with Brazilians. Though I dont like their national cocktail much.

Any where with decent food and adult beverages.
