WDW for the Single Guy: an experiment, Part 9 (Epcot Pt II)

[DISCLAIMER: The following was originally written by Jerry Skids back in 2009. He is a big Disney fan. He has his own WDW-themed podcast, which you can find here, or here. This is 100% Jerry’s words, completely unedited, out of respect to Jerry. My comments are listed in [ ] – anything in ( ) are all Jerry’s words. I have not fact-checked any of this information. Obviously some things have definitely changed since 2009, [*ahem* Norway *ahem*] and should be used for comparative purposes only, as many attractions have come and gone since the time this was written. However, that does not invalidate his suggestions one iota. This is still useful, and I think this is so amazing, that I want to share his knowledge and wisdom. Thank you Jerry!

I’d stay.

The countries portrayed are: Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, The “American” Adventure, Japan, Morocco, France, the U.K., and Canada. Disney has been negotiating with Russia, Australia, and Spain – hopefully they will be added one day. There are stops for kids at each Pavilion called “KidCot For Stops”, but you don’t care about that. Or do you? Well, a game the CMs and frequent visitors of World Showcase, as well as Eppyphiles play is called:
