How to Drink Around the World in Epcot (and Survive)

Does drinking your way around the world sound impossible? At Walt Disney World in Florida it's not. Take a voyage around Epcot's World Showcase while sipping on alcoholic beverages from every country (without throwing up or passing out).

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A designated driver/Disney transportation
• A ticket to Epcot
• A full day
• Breakfast
• A route
• Snacks
• A big lunch

1. Your challenge, if you choose to accept it, is as fun as it is daunting. If you've already ridden Dumbo 100 times and can't get the Small World theme out of your head, then leave the kids with Gran and Gramps and trek over to Epcot's World Showcase.
   
   The World Showcase is comprised of eleven countries which wrap around the Showcase's lagoon. If you plan on drinking at all eleven locations, I highly advise getting there are early as possible in order to space out your drinking time. Unless you're fresh out of college or can still do a keg stand, you don't want to chug 11 drinks in three hours. The park opens at 11 and normally closes at 9:00. If you are not a Disney Resort guest, make sure you don't plan your drinking tour on an extra-hours night (the park will close at 8 for non-Disney guests).

2. You should start out in Canada and head counter-clockwise around the lagoon. If you entered by the Boardwalk you will have to back-track a little through the UK.

3. Eat a big breakfast! I'm talking Mickey waffles and eggs, not just a croissant picked up in France.

4. Canada: La Fin du Monde and Maudite are served at the beer cart. Wine is only served inside Le Cellier’s restaurant.

5. UK: Grab a pint inside the English Rose. There is a full bar for the wine drinkers, and if you want to try a tasty mixed drink, order up an English Rose.

6. France: There is a nice wine flight in Les Vines De France for the wine drinkers. The beer drinkers can try out the local Kronenbourg at the crepes kiosk. If you want an extremely yummy treat, slurp down a Grand Marnier Orange Slush.

7. Morocco: Stop by the Tangierine Café for a Casa beer or some sweet Moroccan wine. They also serve Sangria as an additional option.

8. Japan: A sake bar lies inside of the Mitsukoshi gift shop (for the daring), or you can drink Kirin beer and Plum Wine inside of the Yakitori House.

9. American Adventure: The drink kiosk has Bud, Bud Light, Sam Adams, and an assortment of wine coolers.

10. Italy: You can drink a wine flight inside La Bottega, or grab a glass of Prosecco or a Peroni beer at the kiosk outside.

11. Germany: The Weinkeller has an assortment of German wines, and the beer garden is the best place to throw down a brewskie. There are plenty of German beers inside to choose from!

12. China: You can grab plum wine or Tsing Tao beer at the Lotus Blossom Café.

13. Norway: They used to serve Rignes, but now you’ll have to do with a Carlsberg. Not Norwegian, but at least its Scandinavian.

14. Mexico: By this time you should be pretty toasty. If you aren’t completely smashed, try a fiesta margarita at the stand outside the temple. If you want to take it easy pick up a Dos Equis (XX) at the Cantina.

15. You made it! To reward all your hard work, grab a spot near the lagoon to watch Illuminations. You’ll find it even more magical after your drinking trip!

Tips & Warnings

• In order to avoid a Beast-sized hangover, your best bet is to stick to one type of alcohol when you can (preferably beer or wine). Also make sure to snack often and drink a lot of water in between brews.
• Pick a spot for lunch/dinner ahead of time. For timing purposes your best bets are Japan, The American Adventure, Italy or Germany.
• CAUTION: Designate a driver or take Disney transportation
• Don't ride Mission Space after too many drinks
• Don't take the magic away from the people around you-if you're too drunk, stop and drink water.
• Don't harass the characters or cast members.
