AuburnJen 770 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Apparently this article thinks so.... http://wdwnt.com/blog/2017/07/update-brazil-likely-new-country-added-world-showcase-epcots-expansion/ Quote Likely location for the new Brazil pavilion at Epcot The pavilion is rumored to be going between the Italy and Germany pavilions in World Showcase, an empty 1.5 acre plot left for a future pavilion since the park opened in 1982. The pavilion will likely include an attraction, but there are nor rumblings as to what it might be at this time. Brazil will likely be announced for Epcot at the D23 Expo 2017 during the presentation on Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. This rumor dates back to a 2011 story run here on WDWNT.com.

Travisma 1,317 Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 Better yet, build a new WDW in Brazil, would cut down on the overcrowding. Avatab.... Steve 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure there's no one left in Brazil, they've all moved to the USA...... don't know how it is in FLA, but up here we have a Brazil Store on every other corner with most of them doing a booming side business in fake ID's for the newer ones that missed the last amnesty.....

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Can't speak for others, but I didn't imply that I don't want to see it happen. There are currently no pavilions representing any South American countries....while Brazil isn't necessarily representative of the rest of SA, it could be a fun pavilion with some unique foods not currently offered on a year round basis in WS. I think it would be a good addition. I also still believe that a Russian pavilion would be fascinating and a great add. They say that it was originally planned but political tensions during the Cold War followed by economic turmoil as the USSR collapsed killed it. Maybe someday....such a huge country with a unique history should would be good to be represented. I doubt we'll see it, but you never know. Or perhaps they could simply invade and take over the Norwegian pavilion.

kadancer 82 Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 I'd like to see more countries, too. Brazil sounds good. I'd like to see Russia, Hungary, Egypt, or India. The World Showcase is the closest I will get to any of them. BradyBzLyn...Mo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I'm not against new countries being added at all not Brazil in particular. Just thought it was an opportune time to make a joke about the annual winter pilgrimage of Brazilians to WDW. My only question about Brazil is with Disney being so much into tying movies to everything what are they going to do for Brazil? The closest Disney prorperty is the Three Caballeros which covers more than one country. My guess if they do Brazil the main restaurant would be a Churrascaria (aka meat orgy) which I would like.

Could be.... but the typical one outside Disney such as Fogo de Chao runs $60-70/ person.... so imagine what Disney would charge! Either that or the quality would not be up to par. Or.... both.

Starbuc71 162 Posted July 12, 2017 Report Share Posted July 12, 2017 Im all for Russia, Poland or Ukraine.

Travisma 1,317 Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 Take it with a grain of salt, or you saw it here first again after the earlier rumour! 23-Year Old Attraction Reportedly Closing At Epcot Next Month – Brazil Pavilion On The Way? When the Circle of Life reportedly exits the theater inside The Land after Feb. 3, groups from Disney Performing Arts are scheduled to hold performances and workshops there. That is set to begin on Feb. 9 and continue until an undetermined date in the future. Those workshops are currently being held in a location between Germany and Italy pavilions of World Showcase, but backstage and out of view of day guests. If the movement to the theater in The Land does happen, it would mean the closure of the backstage area currently used for Disney Performing Arts. That leads to the belief that this would open land for the long-rumored Brazil pavilion being added to World Showcase. Some thought that the new pavilion would be confirmed and announced this past summer at the D23 Expo, but that didn’t happen.

They've already got a full plate with the new Guardians of the Galaxy and Ratatouille rides that have already been announced. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted January 8, 2018 Report Share Posted January 8, 2018 If I remember correctly I read once that all the costs involved in building and maintaining the pavilions are on the country that sponsors it. If that is the case, would it matter how many other irons Disney has in the fire? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Morocco was the exception not the rule. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
