food IS a theme park
Don’t mind us — we’re just sitting here remembering all of the international sodas we used to get at EPCOT’s Club Cool… .
We got a bad case of nostalgia
At the closed location, there used to be an orange-flavored Coca-Cola drink called Mezzo Mix that we — and a lot of other guests — just couldn’t get enough of! But then Club Cool went away to make room for EPCOT’s big transformation and we thought Mezzo Mix was gone forever.
Welcome back to EPCOT!
Festival of the Arts
Yesterday was the last day of the International Festival of the Arts, so we visited EPCOT to celebrate! While we were there, we checked out some food updates and more. Let’s get started!
Hey, everybody! It’s time for another roundup of What’s New in Epcot!
Epcot
As the 2020 International Festival of the Arts winds down and Epcot gears up for its big International Flower and Garden Festival, we’ve ready shown you a sneak peek of some of the new Spike, Orange Bird and Mickey-themed merch you’ll be able to nab once the springtime celebration begins March 4th! But while a wait for the Flower and Garden food booth menus to be released (which could be ANY DAY NOW, fingers crossed!) let’s see what’s been happening at Epcot since our last visit!
Once Club Cool shuts its doors as the area around it began the process of beautification, we were afraid that we would never again be able to sample sodas from around the world. Not every drink was our favorite, but there was something for everyone.
Club Cool
Then we found out that the Mezzo Mix had survived the Club Cool purge of 2019 and moved to a new home in the Germany pavilion. But today we noticed that Mezzo Mix was missing AGAIN.
Happy weekend! We’ve been hard at work in the parks scoping out all the latest news for you! First, a few things to remember… .

Ah, Club Cool… How we miss being able to serve ourselves endless amounts of your delicious sodas from around the world in tiny paper cups!
Club Cool Flavors
Okay, okay, we use the term “delicious” loosely here, because not every offering made our tastebuds sing with delight — remember Beverly? But if you were a fan of the orange-flavored Coca-Cola drink called Mezzo Mix, guess what? It’s reappeared at a new place in Epcot!
My word, we’ve been doing this blog for three years and we still don’t have a post dedicated to Epcot’s Club Cool!
To remedy this, we set up another fun poll at our Disney Food Blog Facebook Page when we asked “What’s your favorite beverage to try at Club Cool?”
Club Cool Sign
