WOW! It’s the 40th Anniversary of EPCOT.
FIGMENT!
To celebrate the big occasion, Disney has released merchandise and some themed treats and drinks like the Figment Sponge Cake. Lots of the treats are super colorful, and the Sake Cocktail Flight at Garden House is no exception.
From now until October 3rd, you can get a rainbow-colored Sake Cocktail Flight at Garden House! It features Samurai, Mt. Fuji, Tokyo Sunset, and Violet Sake. Many of these are served in the Japan pavilion at Garden House or at restaurants in the pavilion, but this is a fun way to try them all in one sitting!
Check it out!
We love all of the colors and think this is a fun little flight that you can share with your pals when celebrating the 40th in the parks. It reminds us of the rainbow drink trend that hit TikTok a few months back.
Sake Flight
Now, for our thoughts on the drinks! The Tokyo Sunset (the orange cocktail) is made with coconut rum, peach schnapps, banana liqueur, and pineapple juice. It’s very fruity and sweet, so you’ve gotta like sweet drinks — this is a common theme throughout the flight.
The Cast Member we spoke to did not know the ingredients for the Mt. Fuji cocktail (the darker blue drink), however it tasted like a Blue Hawaiian to us. That is typically made with rum, pineapple juice, blue curaçao, and sweet & sour mix. These drinks are giving all the bachelorette vibes — so fruity!
Fruity
Next up is the Violet Sake which is made with sake, purple pear, and lime juice. This is a fan-favorite drink in EPCOT and for good reason — we loved it! If you don’t want a full size or you want to try a few other flavors, we think this is just enough violet sake to be happy with.
And last but not least is the Blue Samurai. Both the Samurai and Violet Sake are available at Garden House to get full glasses of. This drink is made with shochu, monin blue curaçao, calpico, and lime juice and is really refreshing for a hot Florida day! Shochu is different from sake — it is a distilled liquor kind of like brandy or vodka and it can be made with several grains and vegetables like barley and sweet potatoes.
We liked this flight!
You can get this flight for $25. Overall, we thought this was a fun way to try a bunch of famous drinks from the Japan pavilion! Although it does have a $25 price tag, you get more variety and get to try 4 different drinks at one time. These are a bit dangerous because you can’t really taste the alcohol in them — but they’re delicious. This one is available through October 3rd, so hurry if you want to try it!

Wish they had this all through Food & Wine fest! I would love to try it!
My first visit to Disneyland was in 1976. I’ve continued to visit the Park through the 80s and into the 90s with my own family and my own children. I have watched as it has progressively gone downhill. It’s truly unfortunate that a place that was originally built so that children could come and interact with their family and their parents has turned into such a mess. Backed by the woke progressive management, I have watched this park truly transform into something unrecognizable.
Disney, their parks, their movies are no longer about creating magic, they are about making statements and it is not good. Again, I have visited these parks watch their movies for over 40 years and things have gone downhill quickly. I truly believe that the founder, Walt, would not even recognize his park nor his productions that he built.
My most recent visit with family occurred in 2022. Seeing adults walk through the parks with alcoholic beverages in their hand is frankly, disgusting. I don’t think adults should be drinking around children. But that’s OK, because I didn’t SEE many children. What Disney has transformed into is a park that is frequented and packed with 30 & 40-year-old “children“. Adults that are running around with liquor in their hands, wearing the obligatory shorts, T-shirt and Disney ears, are packing the lines and have taken this park over and replaced any sign of children.
The employees, which used to be the GOLD standard. Manners were so presented in the parks that other companies emulated Disney in their fashion of how they treated guests. They didn’t even call them customers, they used to call them guests. And that’s how they were treated. Now, employees are dismissive, rude, or too busy talking amongst each other to even worry if you’re having a good time or not. The pricing is as always with Disney, through the roof and unreasonable. Ridiculously long wait lines, an average of 60 to 80 minutes for some rides. And the ticket prices that used to be a few dollars or now in the hundreds. It’s miserable and it’s no way to spend time with your family.
It’s sad to see such an entity that was originally built for children and families, now, has turned into this political platform and a place where adults have taken over and replaced the children and push the children out of the way. It’s sad and I think it’s truly a reflection of where this world is today. My dollars will be spent on other places and other films.
