This sounds like a fun thing to do: Drink your way thru Epcot. However, it does sound a bit pricey. I will be doing something similar but much cheaper on Feb. 6. I bought an All-You-Can-Drink ticket for the Tropical Rum Festival in West Palm Beach. I have two goals. The first is to sample rums I have never tasted before to find out if I am missing out in that department. The second goal is to record myself via my GoPro camera on a selfie stick to watch myself go from complete sobriety to flat out drunk.

p.s. I'm not driving home since my wife will be my designated driver. In fact she is not even going in there. I sold her on the story that one of us has to be sober and to buy an extra ticket for her only to not drink will be a waste. BTW, I got a GREAT deal on that ticket via GroupOn.

You might need a designated walker by the time your done.

I hope you have your GPS enabled and maybe the Find a ‘Friend enabled as well.

I went to Disney during spring break about 20 years ago. I did that once. It was like going to the continuous running of the Indy 500 but with more kids. A lot more.

I like going to the 500, but Disney...not so much.

If they have Tuborg in the “beers from Denmark” category, I would like to try that myself but not with anyone else’s wife whether she’s sober or not!

Will share a story: Many, many moons ago, I worked for that outfit, here and in Japan. In Japan the rides had sponsors(corporations) that got special privileges for bigwigs.. I walked each day in a tunnel that passed under one of these rides (with a western theme) and there was a grand set of doors that was always locked. One day the doors were ajar. Being the impolite and curious gaijin that I was, I went to investigate. It was a VIP lounge like none other... Fine oak and furniture with leather upholstery, plush rugs, the best of the booze in a bar that was magnificent! There were side doors that I was sure led to bedrooms and was on my way to confirm this when the attendant returned and drove me out in an apoplectic fit. I am sure a Japanese worker would have been fired on the spot. I learned that all of the rides had such rooms for the corporate fat cats to while away their time as the kiddies did the park stuff.

This actually kind of sounds like a bit of fun, and I’m normally one to shun the Big Attractions. I’m much more comfortable in little one-off holes-in-the-wall.

I’d have to pace myself a bit though, and avoid the hard stuff.

While at a conference in Orlando some years back the sponsor rented out Disney World for the night and bussed us all out there. It seems like every 100 feet or so was a booth with free beer and wine, and the company also picked up the tab at the food places. By the way, I do not recommend riding Space Mountain after drinking two beers on an empty stomach. ;-)

I did the “native beer per country” thing back in 1996 with friends. Did it again in 2008 with my wife. Unfortunately, I then went out for whiskey flights. (ugh, bad idea, ya big dummy!).

Either way, lots of fun!

Successfully ate and drank my way through Epcot World Pavilion for my 50th birthday. It can be done easily if you pace yourself. I took a friend who I knew could keep up. We had a blast! We took a “halftime” break and napped on the slow rides on the other side of the park. Took us all day but we did it. Best birthday ever!

Hmmm...I did that at the Green Week festival in Berlin one night; many moons ago. All of Europe brought their agricultural wares to show off and the spirits were varied and plentiful.

IIRC, that night was the genesis of first-born. I don’t recall very much, unfortunately.

Here’s what I learned, there are too many beers and countries to try them all. However, Epcot was a lot of fun and the beer as great.

I and my merry band of drinking buddies drank our way through Epcot two weeks after it opened. I won’t say the year. Good times. LOL!

Best margarita I've ever had was in the Mexico venue at Epcot. It is also the most expensive margarita I've every had.

England has the best food, for the price, a solid selection of quality beers, and the best seat in the park for the Illuminations show.

Disney needs to add beer, wine and other to the Magic Kingdom. After three or four hours,it would be helpful.

With in / out privileges at the Magic Kingdom, the easiest thing to do is take the monorail to the Contemporary and grab a cocktail at the lobby bar, or go to the Polynesian and get a Mai Tai at the lobby bar, then hop back on the monorail back to the park.

I got through the first three countries and then I had to get a drink. Epcot is the stupidest park on earth.
