If you have not heard by now there is a report coming out of Brazil that Disney will be adding that country to the World Showcase in Epcot.
Let me start by saying that as of now this is a rumor. If you've been following Disney news for at least the last few years you know that these rumors surface every so often. Don't put too much faith in this story yet.
The only thing this rumor has going for it is the fact it's coming out of it's home country. Most of the time we hear rumors about a country not a rumor coming from a major news source in that country.
Don't be surprised that Disney has refused the to confirm the rumor be surprised they didn't deny the rumor. Before you get excited keep in mind that by not denying the rumor Disney is getting free publicity.
As far as I'm concerned new countries coming to world showcase are like Duke Nukem Forever. It's been coming for as long as anyone can remember, there has been more close calls then anyone can count, and multiple parties have been involved. One big difference though, the Duke is back in a little over a month...at least that's what they are claiming.

Rumors Are Fun!
1 - Blueprints were leaked onto the internet of a massive fantasy land overhaul. It would add a sit down restaurant, a 7 Dwarfs roller coaster, and about six other ride additions / enhancements beyond that. On of the enhancements would be a major upgrade to Dumbo. If it happens it will be on of the largest overhauls ever undertaken in Disney World.
ANALYSIS - Some of it might happen but I don't think it'll all happen. I think this is a case where the imagineers ask for everything they’ve ever wanted in hopes that at least a couple things get picked.
2 - WALL-E - Buy & Large overhaul of tomorrowland. The overhaul would include replacement attractions of Stitch, Buzz Light-year, and Monsters Laugh Floor.
ANALYSIS - Ok…who’s on the crack? No chance this happens. I could see a WALL-E themed ride but they would not remove a ride as popular as Buzz. You might see a slow incorporation of a WALL-E / Buy and Large theme. By that I mean Buy and Large signs and things like that.
3 - Monsters Inc. Roller Coaster in Disney Hollywood Studios. Roller coaster would be placed next to Toy Story Midway Mania.
ANALYSIS - This is very, very likely. I'd be surprised if it didn't happen. The rumors have been around for years. I’d expect an announcement soon.
4 - Overhaul of the imagination pavilion with a possible trackless ride system and a return of the dream finder. Also may include a replacement for Honey I Shrunk the Audience.
ANALYSIS - I feel this one has some merit to it. This has been such a sore spot since its original overhaul. Not only that, HISA is really showing it’s age.
5 - Test Track replacement.
ANALYSIS - I'd say no, way it's just too popular. However, GM is in the gutter, Test Track is insanely expensive to operate, and it's one of the least reliable rides in Disney World. My fear is we’ll see an outright shutdown.
6 - Return of the Adventures Club
ANALYSIS - I'd believe this if someone could tell me a reasonable place to locate it. Putting it in a park doesn’t seem right.
7 – Night Kingdom theme park
ANALYSIS – I’m fairly sure this was going to happen before the economy got flushed down the toilet. This might make a comeback when the economy better.
8 – Alien Encounter 2.0 aka Alien Encounter moved to DHS, Alien from the Alien movies added in, made more intense, first ever age limit on a ride due to content.
ANALYSIS – How can I even start to point out all the things wrong with this? I’d say there is a slim chance of AE even making it back into where it was never mind the rest of the malarkey mentioned here.
9 – Advanced guest tracking / ride video capture. In a sense you could buy a video of yourself at the end of the day and it would have all the rides you went on. It would also add interactive to a number of the rides.
ANALYSIS – Something like this will happen as so as Disney can turn a profit on it.
10 – Song of the South DVD / Blu-ray
ANALYSIS – This will happen if Disney can make it profitable. That means counting the flack that this move would generate.
