Today’s installment of Daffy Does Disney is a super-sized one, because there was just too much material to cover in my usual five to seven minute time span. “Drinking Around the World” is a popular pastime at Epcot’s World Showcase and really amps up during the Food & Wine Festival, but I decided to snack around the world instead. You’ll see me trying sweet and savory food stuffs and specialty drinks from each of the eleven pavilions that make up the back half of the park and I’ll give you my thoughts on them. I avoided the Food & Wine kiosks because I wanted to improve my chances of trying something a person planning their own trip might see me eat and then be able to have when they got there. Once I’ve presented all twelve snacks, I’ll rank them based on my own enjoyment of them.
Get ready to be hungry!
I had my doubts about 20 minutes of snacking around the world, but I remained engaged throughout. Some of the camera work was a bit close up for watching a dude eat, but arms only go so far and sometimes it looked like you were in close quarters.

It’s actually been a while since I spent any quality time in that part of the park. We always intend to spend more time there than we do.… Read more »
Thanks, Lebeau! Neither the Canadian or UK pavilions have lots of snacking options. There used to be something called a “Beaver’s Tail” that some Disney fans lament now being gone.

If I could plan a longer trip I’d put major focus on seeing the pavilions in more detail. You could probably do that pretty well if you had three days in Epcot. My Mom will be spending a… Read more »
As someone who has been around the Disney fan community for over a decade, I have read the ranting and ravings over school bread. I have also heard lots of people express exactly the same opinion as you. I’m more inclined to believe that it is a nice snack that the fan community had built up to be more than it actually is. Fan communities – especially the Disney fan community – tends to do that. If the opportunity presents itself, I’ll sample one to check that box. But I won’t go out of my way to try it. In… Read more »
