Disney4me Posted Thursday at 09:00 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 09:00 PM Here at DFB, we know a thing or two about Disney World. And, I personally happen to know a thing or two about drinking at EPCOT. In fact, it’s one of my favorite things to do. EPCOT Some might consider me the resident expert on imbibing here at DFB (okay, or maybe I’m just the loudest about it), which is why I feel particularly qualified to tell you about the latest problem plaguing EPCOT — barflies. One World Showcase pavilion tends to attract them more than most, and we need to talk about it. Few World Showcase spots are as essential to Drinking Around the World as the Rose & Crown Pub in the United Kingdom Pavilion. While the Rose & Crown Dining Room features seated table service with your typical British fare, the Pub is home to iconic beers, flights, cocktails, whiskies, and a full bar. I mean, who wouldn’t want to stop for a pint at the pub when Drinking Around the World in EPCOT? Rose and Crown Pub The problem is that this place is SO popular that you’ll often see a mob of people crowded out front, waiting to get in for a drink — the barflies. And, if you see me in this group — no, you didn’t. In all seriousness, though, it can get a little chaotic trying to grab a drink from Rose & Crown on particularly crowded days. Rarely, Disney will set up stanchions out front to create an orderly line, but once you step through those doors — BAM! It’s like you’ve stepped into a crowded British pub. Don’t expect a line; expect to have to elbow your way up to the bar like you’re in college again. It gets crowded in here! This can create quite a crowd of folks that get in the way of people trying to pass by the pub and to the rest of the park, causing a bit of a backup. It all just adds to the experience, though! But, if you don’t want to fight your way through the crowd for a drink, you can find a selection of the same items (not all of them, though) at the Rose & Crown Beer Cart located just out front and to the left of the Pub. Beer Cart And, if you’re heading to Disney World anytime soon, keep in mind that the Rose & Crown Pub is currently undergoing a multi-month refurbishment, so you won’t get to experience the typical barfly problem — or the pub itself. Instead, a temporary bar has been set up along the World Showcase Lagoon. A reopening date has not been announced for the pub, but we’ll keep an eye out! Cheers!
