Bazillions of Brazilians

The 'official' Disney seasons are: Holiday, Peak, Summer, Value, and Regular.   There is however one other season that WDW regulars know all about - Brazilian. This occurs in January when it's summertime below the equator and lots (I mean BAZILLIONS) of Brazilians flock to the Mouse House in well, flocks.

Why is this of interest?
Because columnist Monica Bergamo from Folha, one of the two biggest newspapers in São Paulo, reported:
“Brazil got a seat in a great international “forum”: Disney. Representatives from the greatest theme park complex in the world approached the federal government this week to announce they’ll include a Brazilian pavilion at Epcot Center, in Orlando (USA). The country will be featured alongside nations such as the US, China, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico and Canada."

Wow! Finally a new country in Epcot's World Showcase. Well, maybe. Disney has not confirmed this, so it's not yet official.

The choice of new country is not real surprising. South America is not yet represented around the World Showcase Lagoon. And remember those bazillions of Brazilians?
 
Frankly, if a Brazilian pavilion would include a steakhouse like Texas de Brazil , GREAT!  It would save me trip down International Drive!
