|
|
Okay now this might sound bad but when we go down to WDW we give it our best effort to do some drinks around the world in epcot's World Showcase. So far we have not made it the whole way around mainly due to the fact that when we start it is either at mexico (which you can't just do 1 margarita) or we go to the right to Canada which is okay but its the United Kingdom that really slows us down with the Rose and Crown Pub!! So my question is what is everyones favorite location to stop for a drink or two? Also has anyone made the trip around stopping in each country for a cold beverage? |

Donna and I always stop at Morocco for lunch and have a Casa beer.
When it's time for Illuminations, we visit the Rose. A Guinness for me and a Black and Tan for Donna. Donna has had Margaritas before, but my idea of fruity drink is a G&T. _________________ [ |

There is really only one place, the Rose & Crown.... a nice tall cold Guinness....
Especially last year during Christmas, when they had a special beer wagon that was serving Guinness in half yards..... If I remember correctly, Figmentathm was a little jelouse (of course, by time we met up, he was already into his third or fourth pint)....
The best time to "drink around the world" is during the F&W Festival... better choices...
Although, the "beer around the world" is difficult... but swap those with a few wines and the sparkling sake from Japan (Zaipang is very, very good!) and it might be possible..... |

Bruce, remember. By the time I got turned lose at the Rose after the marathon, I had been without a drink since the beginning of December.
As they say in Dublin, "I had a powerful tirst." _________________ [ |

My best friend Ed and I did Beer Around The World...We started in Mexico and ended in Canada...and we made it. Many parts between the UK and Canada are a blur, and the wal kback tot he car after dinner and Illuminations was tough, but it was done!
I had posted an entire trip report on the old Utilidors site...I'll have to see if I can find that again and repost it. _________________ When you're curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.

That's my husband's nickname, too, hahaha! We've never even tried the whole world - we wind up making a beeline for Germany. |

Rose & Crown is great, but wow, those margaritas in Mexico!!! Kray is all about getting some orange (?) frozen drink in France on the next trip. F&W Festival was the best for choices - so many stands, so little time |

Does anyone else forsake beer in Germany for 2 shots of Jaegermeister? My bro's quite the drinker and changes the rules each time we drink around the world. That one just about killed me. |

I actually have a printable passport book somewhere that has all of the countries and a list of what they have to drink. Someone on the WDWMagic boards sent it to me a couple of years ago.
It probably needs a little updating, but it's definitely a nice effort. If the people at all of the bars, taps and kiosks had little passport stamps, it would be perfect! |
