Do you count Main Street as a "land"

[Drince88]

I'm interested in what those that don't think of it as a 'land' think of World Showcase in Epcot.

I REALLY didn't appreciate that area of Epcot the first visit, because (for the most part) all there was there was shopping and buildings and restaurants - oh yea, and atmosphere (mind you, I WAS an adult at the time!) Fortunately, on either our first or second trip, my sister and I had a package that included a choice of options that didn't really appeal to adults traveling without kids - EXCEPT the World Showcase tours. We did the "Hidden Treasures" one and it REALLY opened our eyes to the wonder that is World Showcase. At the end of that tour we said "We need to spend more time here just soaking in things" - and our next trip we did just that.

I never really made that connection between the two parks - now I'm going to pay attention to it the next time I stroll down either Main Street. I'm wondering if anyone thinks there might be some sort of parallel there.
