Did you know: Walt Disney originally wanted to open Disney
World in St. Louis but changed his mind because the Anheuser-Busch Corporation
said anyone who thought they could open a place without beer in that city was nuts!
Those of you who have attended Disneyland in CA may have noticed that you can only
purchase alcohol in the California Adventure park. Guess the Disney team wanted
to preserve Walt’s wishes on the West Coast, but in Florida, Disney World has quickly become a
different story.
By now, knowing my Disney obsession and all, it shouldn't surprise you that back in '08, I spent my 21st
Birthday celebration in Disney World. My parents told me I could pick anywhere,
Vegas, Miami, NYC…. Nope, this girl picked Disney World. You see, growing up I
was always fascinated by the different food and drink offered in Epcot and I
wanted to finally be able to “Drink Around The World”. I’ll admit, I
was a lightweight back then... (still am). I made it through about 4 out of the 11 countries
on a 90 degree day in August before throwing in the towel.
On a recent trip to WDW for Food Blog Forum, my blogger
bestie, Jessica from My Baking Heart
and I took our Prince Charmings and decided we were going to Drink Around The
World in an attempt to redeem myself. I’ll say, I made an impressive dent in my
past record but I wasn't able to check every country off the list. While I
still have a ways to go, I thought I would at least put together a guide for
those of you who want to take on the challenge! I’ll do my best to update with
better pictures as the years go on as well!
Starting in Canada and going counter-clockwise, here it
goes!
