fuckin Star Wars ruining everything

Okay Alfred, time to get out here for a visit and continue the drink experience.

Trip report in WDW in November!

alfred when in nov? maybe we can hang out???

Thanksgiving weekend. I've got a day to myself before family arrives.

aw too bad we'll be there the week of the 4th

wait you can't drink in disneyland? but you can get sloshed at disneyworld, right? wtf

Magic Kingdom also has no alcohol

Disneyland Paris has plenty of booze available!

We're thinking of getting season passes again, after a year in which we let them lapse.

shoutout to the immortal gawker 'best restaurant' piece where caity weaver and rich juzwiak got shitfaced at epcot: http://bestrestaurant.gawker.com/the-best-restaurant-in-the-world-is-disneys-epcot-them-1700655297

Yeah, you can get liquored up in most of the FL Disney parks but once you stumble over to the Magic Kingdom you sadly have to rely on whatever selection of poppers and bennies you happen to have on hand.

full disclosure: i too have been inebriated at epcot in florida

i don't recommend it tbh

Drinking around the world at Epcot is one of my favorite things to do in the actual world, no joke.

Just maybe avoid Soarin' on that day, is all.

i'm used to being shitfaced in the perpetual bitter howling wind of scotland, drinking in florida feels like being wrapped in wet laundry and i do not like it

OL otm

Ah, see, that explains it as most of my day-to-day drinking is done in the sauna.

Drinking around the world at Epcot is one of my favorite things to do in the actual world, no joke.

OTM. But these days I only get to two countries.

True, I don't know that I can really drink around the world, but I'm at least going to try.

Given that I'm generally lucky to get all the way through a six-pack of beer in a month, my liver is assuredly thrilled that I tend to visit Epcot during either Food & Wine or Flower & Garden in order to expand the range of options by which to punish it.

(In reality, my version of 'drinking around the world' usually means I'm still nursing a plum wine by the time I've made it to jolly old England.)

I really need to get back to WDW posthaste, if only to briefly rekindle the happiness I still felt during my last visit in late October 2016...........

ilx fap @ wdw 2019

My family did achieve eating around the world by getting a snack at every Flower & Garden booth in March. The additional meal at Spice Road in Morocco was sheer overkill. By the time we got back around to Canada, I was ready to die.

That would be incredible

xp

Don't you tease me now, bg.

I have a big Hawaii trip planned in early spring, so finding the funds would be tricky, but by golly, I'd try. Anaheim, too.

Ned, get over here!

IM SO FUCKING STOKED TO GET BLOTZO'D AT THE STAR WARS BAR HELL YEAH!

are there any all you can eat restos in WDW ? I mean you might say "wtf all you can eat is generally terrible" but there are several at the Paris park & the one we've tried, the Agrabah Café, was good. btw buffets & Disney parks are two of my favorite things. no it was not all you can drink booze, maybe at the park in Japan they have that though. haven't been to that one yet.

went to the restaurant in The Land years ago, it was family style rather than buffet and maybe they'd eventually stop bringing you refills? this one

Yes!

The German pavillion restaurant has a great buffet.

Boma at the Animal Kingdom lodge has a good African-themed buffet.

I haven't been to Disney World since I was 17 or so and I haven't been to Disneyland ever but I want to finally go to Disneyland next time I visit my sister.

dang I would like to try those, if I ever am forced to go back to Florida. Animal Kingdom opened after I moved away so I've never been.

The Norway restaurant also has a cool pseudo buffet including a herring bar! Sadly it is insanely overpriced and difficult to get into because it's now a princess experience.

Boma is at the AK hotel, not the park, which means you don't have to pay park admission to go there.

I'm looking forward to a solo dinner at Flying Fish, and a family dinner at Jiko.

(we're staying at the Ft. Wilderness cabins, as per our Thanksgiving tradition).

Dang, I'm jealous. I've never stayed at a Disney resort at WDW.

I've stayed at the cheapskate WDW resorts but I've always wanted to Fort Wilderness it up, so I am jelly.

I haven't experienced them firsthand yet but the changes to Norway at Epcot are like the most tragic thing ever and they break my heart.

Fort Wilderness is the only resort I've visited without staying there. I looooove the interior of the lodge.

I want able to get on the revamped Frozen ride this time, but I'd like to at least try it once. The Maelstrom was dope.

*wasn't

Don't you tease me now, bg.

Magic Kingdom does have booze now. Initially just at the Be My Guest restaurant, and since earlier this year at all sit-down restaurants.

also gonna be staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge for the first time in exactly two weeks and pretty excited about it. had a short stay at Yacht Club earlier this year--my first time at a Disney hotel nicer than the low-rent All Star places--and although I probably wouldn't pay $500 a night for it it was pretty nice. Amazing pool there.

If I'm not awakened at Animal Kingdom Lodge by a giraffe chewing on my beard I'll be pissed.

Ned, get over here!

Noted, noted...

AK Lodge is top of my list for resorts I'd want to stay at if money were no object

I'm an old school Contemporary Resort guy

hard agree. i loved staying there

Haven’t been to WDW since I was 11 but we always stayed at the Contemporary and my aunt and uncle always lodged at the Polynesian. Both had amazing breakfasts, and we always had dinner in Frontierland and at the castle. /spoiled brat
