wine walk

[ms mouse]

Does anyone know if the wine walk is still available, and if it is, any details?

If there isn't a "formal" wine walk, you can always make one up yourself. But be forewarned that the wines served at the tasting counters at Epcot are very pedestrian, mass produced and are no better than the typical level of wines that one could find at a grocery store. And they will be served in small plastic cups at less than optimal drinking temperature. It is unlikely that you will find any "discoveries" that are unique or of high quality.

But you will get to get drunk at Epcot, which is really the whole point.

There's always that.

Not to get drunk but where else can you do this at 11 different countries? And then be able to go out, get into a bus or a cab and get back to your sleeping quarters in reasonable amount of time?

Ummm. You aren't really...in...11...different...countries. There are any number of food and wine events across the country where you can taste great wines from more than 11 countries and then walk or take public transportation to your sleeping quarters in a reasonable amount of time. The most fun one that I have found is: this. The Tasting Tents alone are almost as big as the World Showcase.

The wine walk is still available as of February 2014.

There are three countries that participate- Germany france and Italy. You can buy a passport in any of the three countries' wine bars for $20- and you get one white and one red in each country.

It's ok but personally the wines aren't my favorite- I would prefer to choose my own wines!

Are you always so negative? Or is it sarcastic? Where do you read that the point for the OP is to get drunk?
Have you ever done the Wine Walk? The amount of wine served is not likely to get many people drunk.

Not looking to get drunk but I am looking for more adult activities for a different kind of trip. We go every year and this one is all adults. Any other suggestions?

How about gathering a few phrases in each language and taking turns trying them out with the CMs in each country? Might be fun to watch their reactions.

I've never done an adult only trip, so pardon me if my idea is lame

That looks amazing!

But, if you are at Disney World, then 11 countries will do. I guess I use my imagination when I'm there.
