Soft Drinks From Around the World (Club Cool, Epcot)

Cool, sweet, delicious...and best of all, free drinks await the thirsty traveler at Club Cool, located in Future World at Epcot. Step right up to one of 16 soda fountains and try a carbonated beverage from another land. Some flavors are familiar, like Ginger Ale, while others are more exotic, featuring flavors like apple and watermelon. Unless you enjoy very strong flavors, approach "Beverly" from Italy with caution, it is very bitter.

Kaki-Gori (Japan, Epcot)

Is it a food or is it a beverage? When something is this cool and tasty, it just doesn't matter! Tucked away in the Japan pavilion in World Showcase is a tiny cart offering one of the most refreshing items in Disney World, Kaki-Gori. Kaki-Gori is a cone heaped with freshly shaved ice and topped with your choice of exotic fruit flavors. This item is non-alcoholic and is included in the Disney Dining Plan.

Piña Coladas (Pool Bars, Select Disney Resorts)

Grab a frosty and refreshing Piña Colada without leaving the pool at your Disney resort. If your resort has a pool bar (most deluxe resorts do), you can order a Piña Colada without heading back to your room or off to a theme park. Pool bars offer Piña Coladas and other frosty beverages with or without alcohol, so every member of your party can enjoy a cool and refreshing treat.

Fruit Slushes (France, Epcot)

Delightfully fruity and icy cold, these icy beverages pack a potent punch. Choose from Grey Goose or Grand Marnier varieties, and enjoy a frosty drink served in a martini glass. Enjoy these slowly — even though the glass is small, the alcohol content is quite high! This beverage is not included in the Disney Dining Plan and is not available in an alcohol-free version. The beverage cart featuring these tasty drinks is located across from Chefs de France and offers a selection of wine choices as well.
