Club Cool: a rare spot at Disney where you can get something other than water for FREE! I have so many memories visiting the old Club Cool and now I still make a point to stop in to the new version whenever I’m at EPCOT. It is a small, easily missed spot in the pavilion between the Connections Café and the Creations Shop with self serve soda stations with 8 different drink flavors from around the world. As far as I know, they do not limit how many times you go here, how many little paper cups you use, how long you spend inside, or how much you drink. This shop also has Coca-Cola themed merchandise as well as full size drinks and slushes you can purchase!
HOWEVER, I do have a theory about how they keep you from spending too much time here and that is the terrible smell!! I never hear anyone talk about this but the old Club Cool always smelled so bad, and the new one in a new location is no different. I think the strong BO/burnt plastic smell keeps people from lingering.
If you’re visiting Club Cool, I recommend trying all the flavors to get the full experience! I will give you my ranking and opinions though, which can be useful if you are sensitive to certain flavors or can only drink a little bit!
- Starting from left to right, we begin with Beverly from Italy. This is an extremely controversial flavor (as in most people HATE it), with a very bitter taste that lingers. It’s a great one if you want to prank someone or see their reaction but if you do not like bitter flavors, I would advise against trying it. My ranking of Beverly is 0/10. Just in case you want more, they also sell it at the Coca-Cola store at Disney Springs!
- Next up we have Bon Bon Anglais from Madagascar, which is my favorite! It’s very sweet and fruity and I give it a 10/10!
- Country Club Merengue from the Dominican Republic is after that, and I would say its my second place! Also very fruity and sweet but to me a little less flavorful. I rate it a 9/10!
- Next comes the Minute Maid Joy Apple Lychee drink from Korea! It is not carbonated, which makes it unique from the others and can be more refreshing. I thought it was just okay, so I rank it a 6/10.
- Royal Watermelon is from the Philippines and I do think it is tasty and tastes like watermelon, but I have never been a big fan of watermelon flavored things, so it wasn’t my favorite. I also rank this one a 5/10
- Smart Sour Plum from China is another polarizing flavor. In the description, you can see it is considered savory, sweet, and tart. To me, it tastes JUST like a sweet barbecue sauce but in soda form. If you’re craving some barbecue and are really thirsty, this might be perfect for you! I will give it a 3/10 because I honestly was not expecting the flavor, but if you go into it knowing what it will taste like, you might enjoy it a little more!
- Sprite Cucumber from Russia I think is the most refreshing drink on the lineup. It is not super sweet at all and is loved by many. I have never been a fan of cucumber flavor, but honestly I liked this more than I thought I would so I’ll give it a 6/10!
- The last flavor we have is Viva Raspberry from Moldova. I agree with the description that it has a bit of tartness/bitterness to it, which also makes it a little more artificial tasting than I would prefer. I’ll rank it 6/10.
