Many of us around the country are doing our part during this pandemic and practicing social distancing. Our beloved theme parks are temporarily closed, and many of us had to cancel or reschedule planned trips. I know I can not wait to get back to Disney once they reopen and I’ll probably head straight to Epcot because I will be in dire need of one (or all) of my favorite drinks! As I sit here dreaming of walking the world, I would like to share with you some of my all-time favorite World Showcase cocktails, and how to make them! We may not be able to physically be in our special place- but we can bring some Disney into our homes! Here are 8 of my all-time favorite World Showcase cocktails!
