When most people set out to Drink Around the World at EPCOT, they start in Mexico and work their way around the World Showcase. But my daughter, Sierra, and I decided to do things a little differently—we started in Canada and ended in Mexico.
Another decision that made our day even better? We split drinks. Not only was this a smart move for our budget, but it also allowed us to pace ourselves and truly enjoy the experience without feeling rushed (or overwhelmed). If you want to savor the day and still make it to the evening entertainment, I highly recommend this approach.
Our Favorite Drink (No Contest!)
Both Sierra and I agreed—our favorite drink of the day was the Grand Marnier Orange Slush.
This frozen slushie can be found in France at the kiosk Les Vins des Chefs de France, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. There’s just something magical about sipping a cold, citrusy slush while gazing at the Eiffel Tower. It’s refreshing, not too heavy, and dangerously easy to love.
Disney Magic (and Friends!) Along the Way
While we were in Morocco, we were joined by a friend of Sierra’s who happens to be an Orlando native—and who graciously helped us finish a few cocktails. Disney really does have a way of bringing people together. Sierra and her friend actually met on a Disney cruise… but that’s a story for another blog 😉
One Last Pro Tip
If you take nothing else away from this post, remember this:
👉 Ride Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind before the drinking begins.
Trust me on this one.
Starting your day with one of EPCOT’s most intense (and absolutely amazing!) attractions ensures you’ll enjoy it fully—without any regrets later on.
It’s About the Memories
Drinking Around the World isn’t about how much you drink—it’s about the memories you make, the laughs you share, and the moments you savor together. For us, it was a perfect day of bonding, Disney magic, and one really great slushie.
Cheers to doing Disney your own way 🥂
