Brazilian Pavilion to Be Added to World Showcase?



After reading the title of this post, many of you will have already thought "Yes, of course...."
Well, I am as skeptic as you are, since World Showcase has not received a new pavilion in more than two decades (the last pavilion that was added, Norway, joined World Showcase in 1988... Can you believe that?).
Anyway, it looks like this time it MAY be the right time to add something.

According to a Brazilian newspaper article, translated by the Epcot Encyclopedia web site, Brazil is going to add their own pavilion at Epcot. That is one of the greatest honors a country can receive, and it looks like Brazil is willing to pay for it, since they say that "the government forecast is for a big comeback in tourism," with the addition of this new pavilion at Epcot. So, they think that adding the pavilion will help "advertise their beautiful country. I would also add that, since we have a lot of Brazilian guests in the parks here in Florida, it will also make them feel more like "at home", right?

With all that being said, nothing about this project has been officially announced, so, even though the Brazilian newspaper may be very reliable, we don't know what the real plans that Disney has in mind, therefore consider this as a mere rumor. At least, for now.

We would like to thank a lot Raphael Figueiredo for sharing with us the news!
