Mine is Deifinitely Germany. While I really enjoy the ride in Norway and walking around inside Mexico, Germany gets my vote just because I actually feel like I am in Germany once I enter the area. I love eating in the restaurant and hearing the great music. Not too mention the beer and wine.
Gotta love the 1litre glasses of beer :slurp::slurp::slurp:

I love Mexico. The feeling of being outdoors under the stars after I've already walked indoors and seeing the pyramid all lit up. I just love the feel and look of it.

Tough call, but I went with Mexico. Love the exterior, and the experience of walking into that plaza is amazing. I love to eat in there, as well.

I choose Norway because it has one of everything and is the only pavilion that does although Mexico will soon.
It is tough because every single pavilion has something that could easily qualify it as someone's favorite. Whether it is Morocco's immersive quality, or the quaintness of the UK etc, they all have some quality that is unique and well thought out.
Great topic!!!
PS- If Japan ever decides to utilize it's show building for an attraction it would immediately become my favorite without a doubt.
PSS- I love the American Adventure but as a complete "land" it is the weakest, sadly. I could fix it and will do so someday in the Imagineering section.

I'm ashamed to vote for the UK. There's hardly anything there, the food in the restaurant is nothing like food served in UK restaurants, there's no attraction (apart from the diminished British Invasion) but I just love going to the pub for a pint!! How bizarre when I can do that at home any time :lookaroun

Norway! I just love the Stave Church and the Maelstrom!
England is a close second, because of the Rose and Crown, but really, that area needs expansion. England has such a rich history, and many of its artists and writers have contributed to the success of the Disney company (Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, Mary Poppins and of course Winnie the Pooh). And I STILL want a Yellow Submarine ride!

I love Mexico!
The theme inside the temple is fantastic. I like how everything is together in the courtyard; the ride, restaurant and shopping. It makes me feel as though I am in a courtyard and I always love taking a picture with the flashy Mexican hats and morroccos (sp?)!

Tough choice between Norway and Germany. Both are my backgrounds. Norway has the Malestrom, but Germany has much better shops. I could hang around in Germany for hours.
As an aside, just last week I had two firsts in Germany.
On Wed I was buying something and asked to have it sent back to the resort. Now my German is horrible, but I could tell the two CM's were discussing if the packages had been picked up that day yet. When they finished talking, I said "thats OK, the day after tomorrow is fine". They were a bit taken aback that I knew what they were talking about.
On Friday someone FINALLY mentioned my last name. I have been shopping in the German pavilion for years, and most of the time use a credit card. My last name is pretty odd. It is not a common name, but it is clearly German to anyone who speaks the language (It translates directly as 'dagger' - supposedly it is a trade name from a family that either made or was skilled in the use of daggers). On Friday the CM said to me "Do you know your last name is a German word?" It's about time

For me this is like asking which is your favorite child. The WS is my favorite place in all of WDW. Germany, Norway and Mexico are my faves and the food at Canada and Japan are good too. I just LOVE the selection of beers, wines and food throughout the WS.

I think Mexico and Morocco are my co-favorites. Mexico is my my favorite in general, and Morocco is my favorite to neither feature a ride nor be indoors.
I love the mood of Mexico, with the nighttime atmosphere, the wrought-iron balconies, the large fountain in the entrance, and the Fiesta Tour boats passing by the San Angel Inn. Very, very atmospheric. I love Morocco for its sheer exoticism, the intimacy of its walkways, its music, how easy it is to lose yourself in the depth of the pavilion. It's probably among the most immersive of the WS pavilions, and it does a wonderful job of showcasing the beauty of Islamic architecture.
I think that's another thing I love about the two pavilions I love... at its best, Disney design reveals the beauty inherent in places we often don't expect to find it. Many Americans often have negative opinions about places like Mexico and Morocco, but Epcot shows us that beauty is there to be found.

I'm going with Mexico. I've always loved how it was 'night time' inside and really looked like you were in a marketplace there. All of the other country's are well themed but for some reason this was on another level. I miss the non Donald version of the ride but its still my favorite of the countries.
