Barrie will owe me big time for this. 😉 France, the country, brings thoughts of romance, Paris, the Eiffel Tower, French cuisine and fabulous breads … Continue reading "Disney Pic of the Week: France"

Italy Pavilion – Part One of Two

Posted on by Jack Spence
The Italy Pavilion may be one of the smaller countries of World Showcase, yet it still packs a lot of charm and details into a little space. While the other nations present a mixture of architectural styles found within their borders, the Italy Pavilion is weighted more heavily toward Venice. It’s not that this design … Continue reading "Italy Pavilion – Part One of Two"

Goodnight Germany Pavilion

Posted on by Lisa Berton
It was a dark and peaceful night. Humidity was enemy number one. People were just the way I like them, scarce. A voice bellowed in my head. It was Barrie Brewer’s* and she was telling me, “Take some photos, you big dork!” I reached into my camera bag and retrieved my brand new shiny blue … Continue reading "Goodnight Germany Pavilion"

Yesterday I presented you with an overview of the Morocco Pavilion and the ville nouvelle (new city). Today I’ll discuss the Medina, or old city. But before we venture through the Boujouloud Gate into the Medina, I’d like to point out that the Morocco Pavilion holds an interesting distinction among its World Showcase neighbors.

Yet, Morocco does have a very interesting tie to the United States. In … Continue reading "Morocco Pavilion – Part One"
