You're right--eating is very important. We all know there is plenty of delicious food around World Showcase to snack on. If you plan on drinking around the world, be sure you're filling your stomach with food in adition to the alcohol. Trust me, you'll have a much more enjoyable experience. Pacing is also key. If you can give yourself about six hours, that would be perfect.

I'm not sure if this is true or not but I heard if you eat Italion or Greek cheese( maybe any cheese for that matter) before drinking helps coat the stomach and reduces the alcohaol effect???

It's possible, but what are you going to do? Go on a feta cheese hunt at Epcot? I think if you just make sure you have food in your stomach in general, that will help absorb some of the alcohol.

I have found the egg rolls in China and fish n chips in UK to be excellent food to take down along the way...

As far as "Not passing out"... it has a lot to do with knowing yourself and what you can drink... When I was in college, I could have flirted with doing this twice in one day... couldn't do that now, of course, but it all has to do with your individual reaction to alcohol.

Like I said originally... <i>not for everyone!</i>

I have wanted to try this myself but alas my financial situation is not of such that I can afford to do it (Just getting to WDW is a stretch) One time I saw a few of my former co workers getting on to mission space after drinking around the world, luckily I wasnt in the same cabin as they were.

This sounds like a blast. I'm gonna have to tell my wife about it. We are so doing this next time we go to Epcot, I'll let you know how it turns out.

ahh, the video camera. blackmail material at it's best and most convincing.

I know plenty of people who would try to drink around the world there, and I plan on taping every moment of it too. all except the trips into the bathrooms to "taste it again"..

ewwwww that would not be good viewing material for sure! But I am thinking it would make for hilarious out takes by the 3rd or 4th country, America's Funniest Home Video's, I can see the winning 10K or whatever the top prize is. ha ha ha

My dad and I tried last October during the F&W Festival - he made it about 1/2 way around and I got about 3/4 of the way around before feeling too tipsy to go on. We tried though!

I call it the Epcot Crawl, btw.

How much does it cost to drink around the world at Epcot? I mean with the prices being high, how much cash should one bring for this activity?

Post by **spaulo** » Jul Mon 11, 2005 11:17 am

I believe my jaunt cost me between $70-$80, including Egg Rolls in China

jrcohen · Post by **jrcohen** » Jul Mon 11, 2005 11:30 am

mmm... eggrolls. When you think about it 70-80 isn't really that bad, you getting what 8,9 drinks. I guess the next question would be did the 70-80 include tip for you bartender, b/c then it makes it a bit less per drink?

I tipped when there was a bartender... when the place was a counter-service restaurant (Yakitori House, Casa de San Angel, etc) I don't think I did. And it's actually 11 drinks, not 8 or 9... the average drink was between $5 and $7.50, with the big exception being the Half Yard of Bass in UK... $10.50 or $11.50 I think...
