Club Cool


Club Cool is located in Epcot's Future World and allows guests to sample Coca-Cola branded drinks from around the world **free** of charge.



v     Krest Ginger Ale from Mozambique (ginger) - Ginger has long been used as a medicinal herb throughout Africa so it is not surprising that ginger ale is a popular drink in Mozambique. It is also popular in shebeens, informal bars where it is used as a mixer.
 
v     Fanta Kolita from Costa Rica (an aqua fresca) - The sweet quality of this fruity flavor from Costa Rica makes it very popular with children of all ages.
 
v     Vegeta Beta from Japan (a vitamin-enriched blend) - The Japanese have long recognized the importance of beverages for both nutrition and health benefits. In modern Japan, this interest in healthy consumption finds its ultimate expression in "health" vending machines that dispense vitamin drinks like Vegitabeta.
 
v     Kinley Lemon from Israel (a lemonade/honey concoction) - Invading Mongols were probably the first to introduce lemonade to the Middle East. Historical records from the 12th century reveal that a drink made of lemons, water and honey was popular among Genghis Khan's thirsty warriors.
 
v     Lift Apple from Mexico (aqua fresca with an apple flavor) -

v     Smart Watermelon from China (watermelon) - The Chinese name for watermelon, his-kua [pronounced she-gua] means melon from the west, which introduced it to china nearly 1200 years ago. Today, the Chinese produce 40% of the world's watermelon crop and consume millions of watermelons each summer.
 
v     Mezzo Mix from Germany (Coke & orange) - The best known German beverage is beer. Germans often mix their beer with other beverages to weaken the alcohol content and enhance the flavor. Mixing flavors has also become popular in non-alcoholic beverages like Mezzo Mix.
 
v     And… Beverly from Italy - Drinking an aperitif before dinner to stimulate the appetite is a traditional part of Italian refreshment culture. Beverly, with its bitter flavor, is a popular non-alcoholic aperitif.
 
**Touring Tips** Be sure to try mixing some of the flavors to create new ones.  Beware of Beverly and sip at your own risk, however "she's" great for a little trick on your family & friends!!

  1. Plan on arriving at DHS (at least) by 8:15 to sign up for Jedi Training and to grab TSM FP's. 

  1. Sign up at the Sounds Dangerous stage which is next door to the American Idol Experience. From the gate, head to the left side of the hat on Hollywood Boulevard and pass by Echo Lake.

  1. A CM will ask your child a few questions such as their age and if they can follow directions.

  1. After, the CM will hand you a piece of paper with your child's name and a return time for their show.

Hollywood Studios Animation Class

Animation Academy a 15-20 minute interactive attraction that’s a Disney World "hidden gem" and can be the highlight of your day with relaxing fun & a **free** souvenir! Under the guidance of a Disney artist guests learn to sketch a Disney character, at a Mickey-themed animator table and then they get to keep the artwork they create. Classes are free :) and take place approximately every 30 minutes in the animation studio behind the animation shop.

**Touring Tips** Classes often fill to capacity so you want to get there earlier in the day. If you don’t want your artwork to get wrinkled badly during the rest of the day ask a cast member at the animation store for a rubber-band and a bag.
