Best Drinks at Disney World

Whether you’re looking for a nice latte, beer, or simply a soda, Disney has it all. Orlando’s Disney World offers great drinks, and each of its separate parks has something new and great to quench your thirst. In this article, I would like to outline the best drinks at Disney World, separated by park. 

Alcoholic Beverages Around Disney World

Along with the classical air of magic and beauty found in the shadow of the castle, you can find plenty of great drinks in this section of the park. 

Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom offers beer, wine, and champagne, but for more cocktails, you will have to leave the park. Each of the park’s full-service restaurants serves alcohol. 

There are many of these throughout the Magic Kingdom, and they include Tony’s Town Square Restaurant, Liberty Tree Tavern, Jungle Navigation Co Ltd. Skipper Canteen, Cinderella’s Royal Table, Be Our Guest Restaurant, The Crystal Palace, The Diamond Horseshoe, and the Plaza Restaurant. 

Alcoholic beverages tend to fit the theme of the restaurant they are found in. Ie. you can find glitz, sparkle, and princess-themed drinks in Cinderella’s Royal Table, along with Cinderella herself. Many of these restaurants pack up quite a waiting list, and you will need to make reservations in advance. 

Outside of the Park, the hotels offer great drink selections as well. The Contemporary, Polynesian, or Grand Floridian are a monorail stop away. 

Epcot

One of the best alcoholic beverage experiences that you can have at Disney is the Epcot Wine Walk. This is an official Disney experience, though it is kept under wraps by Disney’s advertising. The Wine Walk allows you to drink wines from many different countries, all located in the park itself. 

Wine is gotten from three World Showcase Pavillions, and the experience includes six 2-Ounce pours of wine. This costs $30 total–a steal for the amount of wine and keepsakes you end up with. You can purchase this at the France, Italy, or Germany wine outlets, then make your way around. 

Another perk is that the card is not dated, so you do not have to use the whole thing in one day. You are able to come back at another time. The total amount of wine that you get through the samples amounts to about 12 ounces or about 2.5 restaurant portions of wine. This can be seen as a low amount, yet you are able to taste a very wide variety of wines and to bring home your glass, as well. 

A downside to the experience is also that it is only offered in three out of the many parks. Wine prices typically range from $5 to $11, so for the amount you are getting, you pretty much come even. 

Perhaps you want to start in France, where you can get your wine fix at Les Vins de France. You will have to make sure that you arrive on time for the experience, which includes shows along with your wine. The wines on the French menu include Pinot Noir, Vouvray, Avive Grapefruit Rose Sparkling Wine, Miraval, Pouilly-Fuissé, Chateau Tour de Segur, Chateauneuf-de -Pape, and Sauternes. These tastings enable you to get an authentic taste from different regions in France. 

Another stop on the wine tour is Enoteca in the Italian section of Epcot. The restaurant serves a wide range of white, red, and sparkling wines, ranging in price from $7 to $13. These include the Chianti Classico Reservo from Banfi, the Aska from Banfi, Amarone from Sartori, Brunell di Montalcino from Castello Banfi, Barolo from Luca Bosio, Lamuri from Nero D’Avola, and Regolo from Sartori. 

For whites, choose from Chardonnay from Bolla, Pinot Grigio from Castello Banfi San Angelo, and Roma from Fontana Candida. Then, for sparkling wines, find Lambrusco from Chiarli and Moscato D’Asti from Ceretto S. Stefano. Other Italian beverages offered by the restaurant include Sambuca and Limoncello. 

Germany may be more well known for its beer, but in Epcot, it is also included on the Wine Tour. You can stop at the Weinkeller in the German section of the park to get your fill. The regular menu includes more than 20 options for wine, beer, liquor, and cider. Wines include, for white:  P.J Valckenberg Gewurtztraminer, Franz Keller Pinot Gris, Madonna Liebfraumilch, Madonna Spatlese, Selbach Oster Spatlese, Friedrich Wilhelm Gymnasium Kabinett, Schloss Vollrads Q&A. 

The red wine selection features Affentaler Monkey Pinot Rose, Hex Von Dosenstein Pinot Noir, and Graffen Neipperg Lemberger. There is one sparkling wine: Schlumberger Brut Classic, and three dessert wines: Heinz Eifel Shine Sweet Dornfelder, Gunderlach Messidor Beerenaulese, and Adelseck Eiswein. Among these,  there is also a wonderful selection of German beers and ciders. For $5, you can also get a cheese tray with a pretzel stick on top to compliment your drinks.

You can find crazy, incredible cocktails, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic throughout the park. 

Some of the best include these.

What About Coffee?

If you need to rev yourself up, there are plenty of delicious caffeinated options at Disney World. There are six Starbucks locations, for all of your favorite classic lattes, frappuccinos, and cold brew galore, plus other Disney-owned cafes throughout the park. Here are some of the best options that you can find. 

Moorish Coffee

Another adults-only drink that can be found at Joy of Tea in Epcot’s China Pavilion. It’s an iced drink made from a mixture of cold tea and coffee, plus some bourbon and chocolate, all topped off with whipped cream. It’s a fun, sweet way to wake up. 

These are only a few of the great drinks that you can find at Orlando’s Walt Disney World. From sweet to savory to out of this world, there is a never-ending variety to try from. These drinks allow you to try new flavors, cool off in the hot sun, or get in some caffeine. All of them help to truly capture and enhance the magic of Disney World–whether that be through color-changing liquids or a unmatchably sweet chocolate mocha sauce.
