The United Kingdom Pavilion – Part One

Posted on by Jack Spence
When the Imagineers set out to design World Showcase, it wasn’t their intent to recreate a particular time and place within a country. But rather design a space that represents the memories one might bring back with them after a visit to that nation. And so it is with the United Kingdom Pavilion.
