I was here for the first sponsored Attraction Ideas video.

[@mel_ottav]

I would give almost anything for Hercules rep in the parks year round, please World Showcase I'm begging you to make it a reality

[@Orkunkadunk]

Alright and now you gotta exercise your channel name and make individual videos about each country and what they’ll offer at Epcot

[@DesigningDisney]

Yes, please. Also, do more than just those 22. Do Ireland, Singapore, Jordan, Bhutan, Israel/Palestine (I Know, Crazy, but it would be so cool), Kenya, Costa Rica, etc.

[@vanessavargas8182]

I would love a South Korea pavilion. With the boom of kdrama, kpop, and a lot of kproducts like Samsung, it would be a great addition. Not to mention their architecture is beautiful.

[@LizzyLoves91]

A while ago, Brazil used to be rumored year after year. I think it would an amazing addition!

[@Emily-lb7rf]

i love their booth every year at food and wine too!

[@UndeadNerdT800]

Give us an Egypt pavilion

[@carminecdinoproductions]

Yeah

[@dasoupsoup]

You should do a "second chance" event where you run a similar gauntlet for all of the losing countries, but this time all of the existing pavilions also have to compete to keep their spots. Let's see if the Imagineers and the EWSC are on the same page.

[@AttractionIdeas]

That would be interesting! I would guess most of the existing pavilions would perform well (with the probable exception of Morocco), but if any of them did falter... oh boy

[@seaside1991]

Brazil, India and Australia would make great interesting attractions

[@carminecdinoproductions]

Yeah!

Spain is the second most visited country in the world after the USA. Also it was the nation that founded the first city in the USA. St Augustine Florida. Is no brainer. Let’s not make the eurodisney error again

Aww shucks, Colombia disqualified 😔

[@D-B95]

Loved this! I would love to see a video comparing these to the existing Epcot countries (excluding the proximity event).

[@felipefigueiredo5698]

Peru is considered the best cuisine in the world. And Brazil has Jose Carioca, from Rio de Janeiro. Carioca is literally the translation of "from Rio de Janeiro".

[@diegocalderon5190]

Well Disney does own the rights to the Rio movie, not saying it's super popular... Just wanted to point it out

[@awesomess9953]

i am so glad about Greece that is my herritage

[@JP-1990]

"Who knew Thailand had this many American tourists?" Alright... who's gonna tell him?

[@Bhembca]

The system is flawed. Proximity should be from the US itself, not another Epcot showcase pavilion country. Cause most Americans don’t know world geography and it is an American theme park with its bread and butter coming internally. Therefore your numbers would be different. Also places 4-21 shouldn’t get points. That’s not how the olympics works.

[@AttractionIdeas]

That's a good point. I'll be taking this up with the committee

[@doctormatthattan]

What if it was all fictional IP countries like Agrabah, Arendelle, Maldonia, etc.,?

[@jamesenglebert9149]

We had so much fun watching this video!

[@iluvdrakeandjosh]

Thailand should've gotten more points in attraction potential and in general I think when they do the expansion India and Thailand are probably gonna be very high on the list, Raya still has some value there for ride potential. More than Wish anyway, being an action movie. Greece after going through all this I can totally see them being added too. Spain feels very redundant so I know they were gonna be added but I'm not seeing it. This was was super fun!

I’m not sure if Disney can give Americans the real reason so many people go to Thailand 😬😬

I wanna see a Greece pavilion in World Showcase at Epcot!

[@googamp32]

You MIGHT have missed the boat on cashing in on the algorithm this time.

[@Newborns1]

Personally I would like to see a russian pavilion, Eastern Europe is an interesting and is a very unique place. Not to mention as of right now eastern europe has no representation, so a russia pavilion would fill in a nice gap. (not to mention its lush culture and architecture)

[@elevenb6967]

Poland is in eastern Europe.

[@Emily-lb7rf]

all year round pao de queijo in brazil 😍

[@FlaJordan23]

Brazil has José Carioca and a D23 coming here, Brazil top 3!!

[@felipefigueiredo5698]

Egypt argument about independence doesn't make any sense. Do you think what would be represented in the park would be any culture aspect since its independence or the stuff from before christ?

[@briarrose8154]

Brazil, Egypt & South Korea are my top picks!

[@chandlercagle]

Great work, this is awesome!

Poland being held by the USSR doesn't count as being colonized? Not saying you are wrong I just think it could be debated.

[@thijsvandersteldt3179]

Also they where no existing pre world war one

[@LChatmanFL]

Cool concept. Not sold on India though. There is a little issue with scammers. Although, the history & architecture would be really nice to experience. And the food is generally really good.

[@carminecdinoproductions]

India? Could be interesting…

I was hoping for Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

[@ItsDaLuzz]

No offence dude, but your ranking of independence is completely incorrect

[@cassiebillion3511]

Honestly? I would remove one of the European countries and add either the 4th or 5th place finisher. So I would go Greece, India and Brazil/Australia!

[@luciep8034]

Greece is actually a member of the European Union so it would add another European country.

[@cassiebillion3511]

@luciep8034 I was referring to the video where he suggests adding Greece as well as Spain! Thanks for the info though.

[@-Iwill]

Greece’ Spain’ Thailand and Brazil would be ready cool

[@JP-1990]

They should build a Disneyland in both Brazil and India, if only to reduce the amount of tour groups from those two countries.

[@santinosalonga7264]

As a Filipino I just want to let you know that the red on top means that the Philippines is in war and it should be blue on top

[@pelicanbowling]

Of course they’re at war, they were just battling the 21 other countries to make it to the pavilion.

[@olympicbuilder-JHKimaginnering]

If they add Vietnam, we will get a very awkward situation when we look back to Vietnam history. We have Vietnam and US war, Vietnam and French war, Vietnam and Japan war, Vietnam and over years' war with China. I would love to have Vietnam in Epcot also because how unique of the cultures they have there I have been to Vietnam a lot and meeting and experiencing the culture there give me one of the best vacations ever. Also, the nature and food are definitely a must try. Zipline down a mountain then it goes over a theme park on an island and head to the open ocean? why we don't have that in America?

[@MovieFan1912]

Yeah, when I heard that country was included in this list, The Vietnam War was the first thing that came to my mind, and I thought, “Do you really want people to be reminded of that blunder?”

[@pixer415]

Speaking of, I always thought Disney World was a great place to host the actual Olympics

[@garbanzolee3306]

It was one of my dreams to have a Colombia Pavilion at Epcot and have an Encanto ride as opposed to a "Tropical Americas" themed land in Animal Kingdom. But I'll take it. Besides all that, you can still do an infinite amount of things with Colombian culture. There's so much music, color, natural beauty, different foods depending on each department, accents, folklore and fashion. You can have a gorgeous chiva bus parked in one side with native fruits hanging around it and then a few Colombian-style Willys (Jeep) parked on the other with bags of coffee beans on top. Two different restaurants across from each other with one serving coastal Caribbean foods like coconut rice and fried fish, arepa de huevo, enyucado, limonada de coco, etc.etc. and the other serving cuisine from the Antioquia region like Bandeja Paisa, Patacones, Migado, etc.etc. and I mean; you can even include foods from different districts of the country like Ajiaco (Cundinamarca) or Chuleta Valluna (Valle Del Cauca). Have a fruit juice stand that serves lulo juice, maracuya juice, borojo juice, aguapanela tea, guanabana juice, etc.etc. But even better actually, switch one of the restaurants with a Colombian bakery that serves their famous Colombian Empanadas and Colombian Buñuelos as well as pandebono (won greatest bread in the world), pan de yuca, arepas con queso, arepas de choclo, Colombian chorizo, morcilla, chicharron, manjar blanco etc.etc. along with bagged snacks like their Cheetos Horneados and Caleñitas or Jet chocolate and Chocoramo. The same bakery can serve Colombian coffee or Hot Chocolate with Cheese. Huy, papa! There could easily be shops selling artisanal products as souvenirs like the wayuu mochila, ruanas, aguadeños, vueltiao hats, abarcas trespuntas and just a whole bunch of endless Colombian arts and craft along with typical Disney-fied goodies of course; like mugs or Botero-inspired posters and I promise you a shop like this would have SO much color. They can use El Peñón de Guatapé as the backdrop/landmark of the Pavilion with mainly Salento or Cartagena architecture on the sides. Oooph. When it comes to music, there'll be Vallenato, Salsa, Champeta, Cumbia playing in the background. You can even have traditional dancers with their pollera colora or general valledupar outfit. Dudes with vueltiao hats playing the Colombian-style accordion or groups of men freestyling/battling it out live in a trova competition would be spectacular bonuses. And with all of Colombia's history, good and bad, you can include books (Including Gabriel Garcia Marquez) or a presentation demonstrating tons of the Country's past, present, future and megadiverse nature. Tourism is enormous today. Thanks to Encanto too. And I believe it'll only increase from here on out. Sigh. I know. I digress. I just had it all planned out in my heard pretending as if I was somehow in charge of arranging ideas. 🇨🇴 😮‍💨 A man can dream though. I didn't finish watching the video but if I had to choose a Nation besides Colombia, I'd select Peru. You can do SO much with something as great as Machu Pichu and Inca culture as well as their cuisine such as ceviche and lomo saltado.

[@garbanzolee3306]

Egypt too. Egypt would be phenomenal to see as a Pavilion.

[@PurppCalx]

Brazil, India, South Korea, Thailand, and Greece would be amazing to see. Unlikely choices that would be interesting to see are Jordan and Cambodia

The Netherlands independence year is 1568 when we revolted against the Spanish. We won in 1648. We got invaded by France in 1795 and independence gained back in 1815. Switzerland was also French for 20ish years yet you counted them for 1200s.

Australia, India, Brazil are exceptional choices, think Poland could be real interesting as well

[@rapunzel1701]

Hehe...Passport Bros & Cruise Ships influence some of those numbers. Greece & Brazil for sure. One interesting category would have been financing. Like who could Disney to pay for the pavilion.

[@ericstratten5653]

Peru has a delicacy that is derived from a small animal. Might be hard to stomach in USA... Seriously, Peruvian or Poland would be the most contrast to existing foods in EPCOT

[@dragonetafireball]

When I was looking at the temporary countries and saw Australia it hit me how weird it is there’s not any permanent Australia stuff in Epcot or Animal Kingdon considering they’re a whole continent, a lot of them speak English and they have a vibrant ecosystem and Canada shows they’re willing to acknowledge native native cultures (when they’re not in the USA which had 1 animatronic acknowledging them)
