“Authentic merchandise” for sale.
Yes ma’am, these plastic Mickey heads are authentically from China.
Yes sir, these hand-woven African-style objects authentically came from a factory in China where they employ prisoners.
You have obviously never been to Epcot’s World Showcase. The merchandise for sale in the countries is authentic to each country.
This will add something special to the atmosphere at night! Would love to see video of the event.
It even smells awesome! I’m a Safari driver and had low expectations of this event, but it’s actually not bad. I wish Animal Kingdom’s Africa were like this all day.
Last time I looked, most of the merchandise for sale at World Showcase was made in China.
