From the sticky thread in Dining, named What's New, What's Next:
In Mexico, a 50- to 60-seat tequila bar replaces a retail shop in the pavilion's spacious indoor courtyard in summer 2007. And the pavilion's waterfront Cantina de San Angel is expanding with more seating with optimal views of World Showcase, and will offer a new menu by summer 2008.
ole! Personally I would prefer to keep the shopping.

Even though you're forced to go into the shop after Maelstrom, I always like all the cool clothes, trinkets, and fragrances in Norway.

Remy: You gotta taste this! This is... oh, it's got this kind of... mmm, it's burny, it's melty... it's not really a smoky taste. It's kind of like a certain... Pshah! It's got like this " Ba-boom! Zap!" kind of taste. Dont you think? What would you call that flavor?
Emile: Lightningy?

I have to stock up on the latest Kittychan stuff and buy new tiny purses and ooh and ahh over the kimonos.
For food related shopping, I like Germany for all the chocolate!

I love UK and Germany is a close second. i got myself a wooden ornament from germany and we got our family crest done at Pringles in the UK with our wedding date on it.

I love shopping in Germany. I might be a little bias being of German descent and all. They have great wines and other food items. Also, they have really cool beer steins. Japan is great if you are looking for asian dining items. I've bought some plates for sushi there. Also, if you are looking for a great gift for someone who is into their family heritage go to the United Kingdom. I bought my father our family crest and name history and had it framed for Christmas last year. He loved it.

I voted Japan, but I love the goodies and ornaments in Germany too.
As for Mexico, part of the shopping area is being turned into a tequila bar, I think. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.
Two weeks ago, everything was still the same.

I heard that too about Mexico. I wonder where they will be putting it. Maybe it will be like the wine sections in Germany, France and Italy. Maybe they'll have bottles of tequila for sale.
I never buy anything in Mexico. My father travels to S.A. for business and can get it at a 10th of the cost. I just let him pick me up those kinda things if I want them. So them changing it might be really cool.

I love the shops in Germany, especially the steins and cuckoo clocks as well as the wine shop. My next favorites are probably Japan, China, and Mexico. Removing the retail at Mexico for a tequila bar doesn't sound like the best idea, but who knows...

The Epcot shops are so much fun. If this was purely a question of browsing I couldn't split my favorites. However, I voted for the country in which I made the most - and best - purchases . That would be Japan. My DM is quite a Japonaphile. I was able to find hard-to-find books and even baby katana for her.
Hmm. While I am writing, I am remembering great shops in other countries. Der Teddybar in Germany, the candies in Italy, the perfumes in France and the toys in the UK. Oh, gosh. This is a difficult poll topic.

I had read somewhere (I think it was on here with rumors and news) that they are taking out the shopping area to make way for a margarita bar. I really hope this is just a rumor as I love the shopping area. I'll do some research and see if I can find it.

I don't shop much, but the shops at UK are neat because they look like pubs and stores in London or somewhere else. The Phones are net,too.

I voted for Japan, but I have to say, some of the plates and dinnerware I saw there, I've seen at Marshalls and Homegoods.
I can't wait to shop the world this time around--9 days in WDW so we can definately devote some time to shopping.
