Maybe they could update the UK section of World Showcase at Epcot to reflect Swindon, as it currently has no resemblence to any UK city or town.

What are you talking about? The UK section of Epcot is a mirror image of Hull.

As for Swindon, surely they could have found somewhere better.

I'm from Swindon, and impressed by the spin she's put on the place! Would love to see a Disney representative's face if they visited!

Well I'm in shock![:0]

My hometown is twinned with Salzgitter, Ocotal and now Disneyworld![:0]

The young lady should get a job as a spindoctor with the spin she has fooled Disney.

Mr Wheeler, how do you know about Manchester Rd?[;)]

I was born in Swindon too, great news. annoys me when people knock my town of birth. Although I agree with the Manchester Rd comments :)
Will look out for the Swindon signs when we visit WDW in April.

The brilliant Jasper Fforde![y] Just wished his interpretation of Swindon was a reality.[:p]

Technically, James Dyson is based in Malmesbury which is 20 miles from Swindon.
