Should be there 3 or 4 nights. Might try to hit 2-3 countries a night and just repeat any favorites.

Was there for it once back in 2008 and have wanted to go back ever since. It's a great festival and EPCOT is awesome. Get a ride on the Maelstrom before they close it

I was just there last week and got my last ride in.

Also, hit up the tequila bar for the first time in Mexico. Someone on the O-T recommended the avocado margarita and it was on point. The jalapeño margarita wasn't so good.

They're closing the Maelstrom?

That's one of my favorite rides.

I vaguely remember it but am having a hard time remembering what was so great about it.

Nothing's really great about it, that's why it's awesome.

Great way to beat the heat if you're there in the Summer after getting boozed up walking around the World Showcase.

They are replacing it with a Frozen themed ride...

The tequila bar in Epcot is great, but my favorite margs are the ones from the stand outside...they're excellent. That French drink that tastes like an orange creamcicle is awesome too lol.

Where is this stand? I could go for a marg or two on Mexico night. Trying to figure out which country or countries to also hit on Mexico night. Maybe Morocco.

Didn;t say it was great. It's just a favorite. It's quick and fun, and as Jordan said. It's great break from the heat.

Not to mention the Norwegian worker girls are often smoking..

I'll probably end up doing the Halloween party with the little brother in magic kingdom 1 night then Epcot the other 3 nights.

Probably one of the few things at Disney we've never done. Likely give it a shot this year since we've got a young one in tow.. Otherwise I'll cap off probably every other evening eating and drinking at Epcot too.
