Re: What should Disney build between Canada and the United Kingdom in EPCOT?

I'd love to see a playground. The kids have fun with the KidCot stations but it would be nice to offer a bit more for them to enjoy the trip around the showcase. If we could break it up with a stop at a playground I know DH and I could spend more time in the showcases!

Re: What should Disney build between Canada and the United Kingdom in EPCOT?

I would like to see a new land from a continent not represented yet - so I guess that would be Australia or a South American country. Don't think Antartica would get too many votes. (except from penquins).

I agree with the playground, it could be one that uses things from all the countries in the WSC and be for all ages. It could teach as well as entertain

Re: What should Disney build between Canada and the United Kingdom in EPCOT?

There kind of already is a playground in the Norway Pavillion. It is a viking ship with little ladders and ropes and other things. My choice for a new country would be IRAQ!!!!! JK!!!! LOL!!!! I like the Australia Idea but I also like the Italy idea w/ the Leaning Tower or the Colusseum!! This is so fun!!!!

Re: What should Disney build between Canada and the United Kingdom in EPCOT?

I'm embarassed to say that I voted for a hotel, lol. Just think how cool it would be to stay right in the middle of a park. My family and I are trying to plan a trip to DL and stay at the Grand Californian, I guess I should do that first before voting.

We stayed at GC in May. Although it's kind of cool to be able to look out of your window & see the park, I don't know that it's all that spectacular. You don't really feel like you're "in" the park. It seems more like you're next door neighbors. That's not to say that GC isn't a wonderful resort. I just think the space in EPCOT could be put to better use...

I guess you're right about that, didn't think about being more like neighbors. EPCOT could be put to better use, I do agree with that, too.

Hey, it looks like we'll be at WDW around the same time!

We'll be getting there on the 11th! I can't wait. Folks here at work just laugh at me when I give them the new count-down total every morning. I'll be our first time there at Christmastime & I'm really excited. BTW, when did you go to Williamsburg? We love that place, too!

Re: What should Disney build between Canada and the United Kingdom in EPCOT?

I voted for a deluxe hotel, just because it would give me another place I HAVE TO stay at before I die! Hehe. :) Although, any of the other options would be cool.

I think Russia is the most unrepresented element... I seem to remember a sign saying a Russia would be built... Late 80's or early 90's.

You arrrive on the 11th, we'll be leaving on the 11th, bummer!! This is our first time at Christmastime, too and we're all excited as well. My 7 yr old asks me how many days at least 2 times a day.

We were in Williamsburg from July 13th until the 18th. It was our first time and we all loved it, it's just beautiful.

Ever been there at Christmas time? It's gorgeous...they decorate with all natural stuff like they did back then. It really takes out all the commercial stuff, you know?

No, that was our first trip to Williamsburg. We'd love to go back. Haven't been to Disney at Xmas either. We were there in early Nov. 2000, but they hadn't fully decorated yet. We're really looking forward to it. My DD keeps checking our countdown.

Re: What should Disney build between Canada and the United Kingdom in EPCOT?

My heart just skips a beat when I imagine myself coming around a turn to see those "onion topped" buildings in the Russian Pavillion Of-My-Mind. That would be truely awesome.

My husband is more practical. Where do you stop over on a flight between Canada and the Europe? The mysterious Iceland! Hmmm... from my personal experience I can imagineer a thrilling icy/snowy ride where the airplane you're on gets a flat tire. I don't like to fly since then.
How about adding in a "duty free" shop.
Not much more than that in Iceland, as I recall from my last trip. I guess I have alot to learn about Iceland.

Well I think they should put Greece there. Boy I could see that. My dad's family is Greek so they'd feel right at home.

I think it would be cool if they put a replica of the British Airways London Eye in the UK section.
