Hey there! Are you heading to EPCOT and planning to drink around the world at the World Showcase? I have five tips for drinking around the world at EPCOT to ensure a successful trip! If you’ve not heard of drinking around the world, here’s the skinny; Within EPCOT is the World Showcase, which consists of 11 pavilions representing countries from around the world, including Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Morocco, Japan, the United States, Italy, Germany, China, Norway and Mexico. These pavilions are situated around the World Showcase Lagoon which provides a lovely backdrop for a trip around the world.
So let’s jump right in!
TIP #1
Start in Canada! You might hear other recommendations to begin in Mexico, but based off of our experience it is best to begin in Canada and leave the tequila for the end. The drinks in the Mexico pavilion are FANTASTIC and STRONG! If you start there, there’s a good chance you might get really tipsy really fast, and and miss out of the great drinks from the other countries. The point of drinking around the world is to experience the unique adult beverages that each country has to offer, not to get sloshed (we can do that at home) 😉
TIP #2
SHARING IS CARING! Sharing is also key to enjoying your trip around the world. I highly suggest sharing drinks at each country. There are 11 countries and each one is going to have different offerings, that means you might be consuming beer, wine and liquor in a short amount of time. To cutdown on the hangover, share drinks with a pal or your group. There is nothing worse than having to do a full day of parks the next day and being hungover (flying home hungover might actually be worse).
TIP # 3
Eat and enjoy the food! Make sure you have some food while you are drinking around the world at EPCOT. Each country has sit-down, quick-service or kiosks where you can enjoy unique food offerings. Definitely walk around and sample some food while you are there to enjoy the drinks! 
TIP #4
Plan to spend at least $100 per person on drinks alone. If you plan to eat, you will spend more. Remember there are 11 pavilions and the drinks run anywhere from $10-$20 a piece. If you are sharing drinks (see TIP #2) you can cut your expenses in half!
PIN IT
TIP #5
Hydrate! You can bring bottled water into the parks with you and I would definitely recommend bringing water from home or your resort. If you have been at the parks all day or if you are day drinking around the world, remember it is Florida and it gets HOT. That FL sun can zap you and you will want to have some water handy.
My husband and I love going to EPCOT for our “date night” when we are visiting Disney with family. Sometimes my parents meet us in FL or my in-laws coordinate a trip at the same time we are there. This is a GREAT way to get a little date in at the parks. Leave the kiddos with the grandparents at their resort and take Disney transportation to EPCOT! 
Our favorite drinks are in Mexico. For the BEST drinks, go inside the pavilion to the bar. As soon as you enter the pavilion, take the walkway around to the right and the entrance to the bar is right there. We prefer those drinks to the ones offered at the outside kiosk, plus there’s usually a shorter line inside and it is airconditioned! When we are visiting EPCOT during the day with the kiddos, we always stop to grab a drink in Mexico or a beer in Germany. 
Speaking of Germany- if you have little kiddos, there’s an AMAZING train garden and a beer kiosk close by. Grab a cold HOFBRÄU and let the kids watch the trains for a bit. It is a fantastic break while walking through the World Showcase.
