It paid for by the countries they represent. Morocco was the exception not the rule. I'm glad Lou set you straight. If Brazil was expected to pay, my understanding is that their economy is in no shape to be funding an Epcot pavilion. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TCD Perhaps if they default on the bonds that paid for the dilapidated Olympic facilities and the unused light rail extensions into drug infested slums, they could swing a pavilion.

I wonder if they will go for reality by providing armed bodyguards and drivers like my company use to do when I had to visit our plant in Rio? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TCD But if they follow American cities that go into debt for 200 years to keep or get a major sports franchise, they are already sending Disney boatloads of $$ to start construction!

But having the country pay for the pavilion wouldn’t be a bad way for Disney to get a new pavilion. All Disney has to do is come up with a movie based in a foreign country. If the movie is really successful, like frozen was. Tourism would increase in that country. Just like it has at the Norway pavilion and the country of Norway. But would the cost of building a pavilion justify the increase in tourism? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Avatab.... Steve 124 Posted January 9, 2018 Report Share Posted January 9, 2018 At the risk of being Politically Incorrect (perhaps even "snarky"...LOL) I will repeat myself: Disney needs to build a new Park in Brazil, not build a Brazil Land in Epcot. (at least at first, after all there are Parks in France, Japan, China and there are corresponding Lands in Epcot) There's clearly a demand by Brazilians for Disney, so pursue the demand at it's source....

I've said that numerous times, they need to build one in Brazil or somewhere else in S. America. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
