VERY Disappointed in Club Cool.

I really liked the "bar" and the character cups that you could buy. My DS loved the coke slushie, and he really enjoyed trying the flavors. I didn't think it was that bad.

I also didn't think it "SUCKED". There were several flavors missing each time (including Beverly each time we went) this year. We were at EPCOT 3 times during our two week trip.

. . . Once again Disney screws up a good thing . . . I'm truly disappointed in disney's attempt at this one . . .

1) Yep.
2) Uh-huh.
3) Youbetchya.
4) It was probably designed by the Unimagineers.

I kinda liked the look of the place, but was really disappointed in the selection. I'm not sure what their supply problems are, but they're really dropping the ball. We stopped in every day we were at Epcot to see if they'd have Beverly available. Instead of having received anything new, they'd run out of additional things each time we looked. On our last day, they were down to two flavors.

Darn, thats no good .. we were going to try it out first time in two weeks!

I agree that Club Cool stinks!!!

We are also very disappointed with the changes.

Does anyone have any idea why they seem to always be out of flavors?? We were there in April AND august and both times they were out of mostly everything. You would think they would have figured out how much to order by now...

I see people fill up water bottles all time.

I see people fill up water bottles all time.

When people break the rules, we all pay for it.

Nope didn't have it at the end of August. Only had 3 flavors, it felt like walking into a gift shop. Nothing like the old place.

I was there 9/21 to 9/27 and they did have the Beverly...Yuck! The Japanese one I liked though.

This is disappointing!

When DH and I went there for the first time in 2001, it was one of our favorite things! Then, when we went back in 2005 we noticed a HUGE change. It was like way more people discovered it...it was so crowded and dirty! Sticky floor, cups everywhere. And don't get me started on people filling up their water bottles with the soda.

 

[mommykds]

I agree...my kids loved the igloo! It's just a store now.

 

[GypsySue]

This is horrible--I can't believe what I'm reading! What happened to my beloved Ice Station Cool? Why would they do this???

I need a moment. . .

I was just there on Saturday for F&W, and stopped by Club Cool. They had most of the flavors, including Beverly. A couple were missing from each station though, sometimes different flavors at different stations were missing. It all depends on how fast they run out. They didn't have that problem though when it was Ice Station Cool, however.

And it's been the same story all summer...it all depends on what runs out, and they don't seem to have a good plan on how to keep them filled.

And yes, the atmosphere isn't nearly as good as ISC. I don't think the music is too loud though...not by a longshot.

This was definitely a change for the worse, everyone agrees with that. But look at it this way: how much do you actually get for FREE at WDW? The fact that they actually provide you with free refreshments (that isn't water from a water drinking fountain) is in itself almost miraculous. Disney doesn't have to do this at all, so I think we should just be grateful that they're keeping it free. But it is a letdown of sorts.

I miss the original cool station!

We were there on 9/16, they did have Beverly (Italy), also had Krest (Mozambique) Mezzo Mix (Germany), Vegitabeta (Japan), and Kinley (Israel). They were out of Sweet Watermelon (China), Lychee Mello (Thailand) & Fanta Kolita (Costa Rica) so we were bummed!
