    ---yes, but in a different park and in a different context.


    The World Showcase displays countries, as in independent nations, not continents unless Australia gets in on the act.

    AK doesn't deliberately reference specific states--- it references only in an indirect, offhand way.

    other than that I think some kind of Mythical land would be cool like Narnia (though it may be tough keeping with the current policy of staffing the pavilion with people from that country)

    And you can be sure it never will either and for good reason: Everest is an icy mountain coaster which houses a ticked off snow beast.

    Bali is not a state therefore it can not be considered as a new member to the showcase.

    Seriously though, I really like the idea of Eqypt - I've never been to WDW or Egypt - so why not take care of 2 at once. Plus I think it would cool as heck to see pyramids in the middle of Epcot!!!
