Jeeze, why isn't World Showcase getting a major expansion..?

But that's definitely Epcot's Germany pavilion.

Kinda funny to see it go full circle and for them to set up shop in the pavilion. Don't suppose if we emailed them asking about the new shop they'd give us any details..?

Maybe the cooking scene isn't, but even the candy shop in the second one is in the actual pavilion. Most notable is the exterior shots which use the iconic fountain and in a cute move they scatter the quick service dining tables around the courtyard.

Anyway, since Germany already has a nice candy shop, I'm wondering if this is going to become some giant-sized shop like what happened at MK when it moved into the old photo shop. I love the shops in Germany just as they are.
