*Drink Around the World Showcase

[DisneyaHolic]

On my upcoming December trip, I plan to undertake a Drink Around the World Showcase excursion. While I have completed the loop a few times before, I am hoping for some new ideas.

I searched online, and just ordered a really cute FREE personalized passport - you have each server sign the passport in each country for a souvenir. I bought the deluxe kit too, since it was cheap and I thought I would get some good tips (and I thought the beverage and bathroom guide would be handy), and then I thought I would post here since you might all have some ideas too.

THANKS! We will be there the first week of December celebrating my 44th!

That passport sounds cool but the link you provided doesn't work. A google search didn't help either as it only found links to the World Showcase passport they sell in the park.

I will let you all know how they look when they arrive, but they look really cute online!

I guess my advice would be to space it out a lot. I've run into too many beligerant visitors on my last two trips. And definitely avoid rides during your tour. I've been lucky enough to not see someone urp after Mission:Space.

This is great! I just ordered some for my next trip! Thanks for posting!

Exactly! DH says he's waiting for the day someone tries to take a swim in World Showcase Lagoon. To many guests are overindulging on their tour around the world and some don't know when to stop.

I want to do that for my 21st bday even tho im not a huge drinker, have fun!

I would say start around noon... some of the drinks are stronger than you'd think. My fiance and I only made it to 3 countries before we were feeling it intensely. Also, don't miss the Oasis slushies in Morocco and the Grand Mariner slush in France!

maybe a few years ago, but not now...I'd rather EAT my way around! lol...you know what they say, the skinny ones are the ones who can eat the most! i can put many to shame!



They should have an eat around the world theme too, so those who don't/can't drink or those who simply don't want to leave Epcot in a drunken stupor can participate too, lol...

Funny that you say that - I figured since I was planning to Drink Around the World Showcase, I should also Snack Around the World Showcase to avoid being an awful drunken guest. So, if you look under dining, I also posted a question about Snacking Around the World Showcase!

Rules of advice: Go on the rides BEFORE you start drinking, eat lots of carbs along the way, drink plenty of water, and before you go to bed have one tall glass of water, and two asprine.

Found it! However, I don't think I will be doing it in one day, I have 3 day to EPCOT on the next trip I may just have to space it out.

My husband and I are looking forward to our anniversary trip to The Food and Wine Festival coming up soon. We plan to take advantage of our time alone and do some wine and drink sampling. We don't go overboard, though. We like to spread it out over the whole vacation. That being said, during last year's anniversary trip to Epcot, we discovered the newly opened tequila bar in Mexico. Uh...all I can say is...thank goodness we were staying at The Beach Club. We managed to weave our way back to our room and rest a bit before venturing over to the rides.

[BigRedDad]

I did this while in college during the F&W Festival. Definitely much more difficult and definitely something I cannot do almost 15 years later. It would be nice if they had something for this. Epcot could have its own little passport book and have 1/2 size drinks for participants.

My hubby and I love to do this... A few tips though:
1. Only buy 1 drink in each country and share! Not only does is keep you from getting too drunk, but you save alot of money!
2. Start early and take your time! Don't rush from one place to the other. Enjoy the experience....this will also keep you from getting too tipsy too fast!
3. Share some snacks along the way.
4. Drink some water in between each country.

HAVE FUN!!

Got the passports yesterday - they really are cute and came faster than promised. The font they use to personalize the passports looks great!

Now, reading all your posts, I am getting really excited! We have done the excursion in the past, each having our own drink - I like the idea of sharing a drink in each country. (The deluxe guide also made this suggestion.) The guide also had some Hidden Mickeys in each country, so I think we will try to do pictures of a Hidden Mickey in each country with our beverages...

When we've done this in the past, we've always run into other people doing the same excursion. I've never run into anyone belligerent - I would hate for people to get too drunk and obnoxious in Disney World!!

I've tried that before... seem to get stuck at Germany....

[Stu29573]

I would ditto the space it out park. On my last trip a twenty something girl staggered out of Germany and promptly threw up in a flower bed. Not a lot of magic there....and not something I would want my kid to see.
