It was like that from 1982-1994

Also a romantic tunnel of love for Fantasyland where you're surrounded by scenes from all the Disney Fairytales as you float gently along with your special someone. ORGOCH: What if ya ain't GOT a special someone? ORDDU: Then EPCOT Explorer and Hokie Skipper would be on stand by to offer themselves as 'escorts' to whichever guests might be in need of a strong shoulder to lean on. After all, I'm sure they would think of everything....

I would also like to see Costa Rica or Jamaica - huge vacation destinations that potentially could benefit from having a location in EC I also like Spain - even with financial issues a top 10 WW GDP country and the Czech Republic - where some would see this similar to Germany it is not- flourishing tourism business since it is one of the few countries not bombed to the earth in WWII

I don't think I could get excited about Jamaica. Costa Rica is a nice thought from the tourism stand point, but like Greece, hard to stand out from just generally being a country of Central America. Rainforests, coffee, and volcanoes are pretty standard to that region. Not sure what else would make it specific. I would pick Peru for use of Machu Pichu, but Brazil's Carnival could provide some fun opportunities. Not so sure I can get excited about Russia. Would have to hear some ideas. Pretty stark history and government to work with. India offers all sorts of possibilities. When folks are suggesting these, I'd be curious to hear what ideas are in their head that make them want that country.
