I remember my first visit to Epcot, many, many years ago. I loved the introduction to international flavors...granted quite superficial but for a sheltered girl it was a delicious eye-opener.
@ Brattcat - You're right about it being "superficial" and also about it being "delicious."
I'm a cynic by nature, but I found that I really like these pavilions. Disney has gone to great lengths to recreate some authenticity; for example, in the French cafe, all the employees were from France. My biggest gripe would be that inside each "country," space was taken up primarily by gift stores and restaurants...I would have wished for more hands-on exhibits about the countries. Of course, France and China have incredible movies which totally surround you and make you feel like you're flying through the air.
To walk through the world pavilions is a fun experience.
