Club Cool Closing? (FALSE RUMOR)

[PirateFrank]

Hey folks....forgive the snark-dripping response, but has anyone actually been able to substantiate/confirm this rumor? or are we going to continue to lament/rejoice over the loss of something that might just be the result of an over-exuberant bus driver?

No.

Probably.

I think it would be smart to move Ghiradelli in at the spot of Club Cool. I truly do miss the original Club Cool, but I was so young I don't remember the actual name of it. Walking through the ice walls to get into Club Cool was a memory I will never forget. I hope that when Ghiradelli moves in (if it does) that they keep the soda tasting past, but take away the slushies and merch and replace it with Ghiradelli or just move Club Cool out to the World Showcase

I would miss club cool....

I just wish Club Cool could just be moved to another location, World Showcase Plaza maybe?

I'm guessing you aren't a soda drinker, which is fine...but to say the sodas they have there aren't unique is completely wrong. All of the flavors served there you can't find anywhere else in the parks, etc.

not just that parks. But anywhere in America (from my knowledge)
Besides, not everything needs to be a big, unique, mind blowing experience. Sometimes you need a break and a drink in an air conditioned environment. If they want to sell some Coca-Cola products while giving away free soda, then I say so be it.

Everything you can get at Club Cool you can also get at the World of Coke in Atlanta (including Beverly). Still, Club Cool is a neat little addition to the parks. I like it better than the frozen coke stand over by TT.

Okay, I stand corrected on that ^^; good to know. But like Disney World not everyone can get to World of Coke in Atlanta. (I know I've never been) Unless I can go down to a local store and pick up those flavors, then I consider it unique.

I was there a week and a half ago and saw the same situation with the soda. I also saw a very heavy woman in a scooter filling up a large thermos full of "free soda". Hitting the button one sip at a time until she duped the system to her satisfaction. Maybe that's another reason Disney would do away with it.

This is the taste testing room at World of Coke...they have tons more flavours from around the world.

Cool spot is like a very small...quaint...World of Coke. But, I agree, it is unique (for EPCOT). I'd hate to see it go.

hmm, possible. Like DAC another example of "why we can't have nice things."
Thanks for the picture englanddg. If it does go, it's good to know there's an alternative out there.

It gives people free drinks in the Florida heat. How about actually building something in the abandoned restaurant instead?

Not Disney's style. If Club Cool goes away, look for it to be replaced with "event space" aka nothing for regular guests.

Somewhere in World Showcase would actually make more sense. Perhaps the African area is an alternative.

 

[Wikkler]

I just said that because I wanted Club Cool to be neutral.

 

[Goofnut1980]

The problem is, they do not sell the soda's there. I would TOTALLY buy some to ship home!

 

[wdwtopten]

I really hope this is a false rumor. In the last ten years there has been a shutdown of some unique experiences at Epcot. I

Agreed.

I personally am going to miss the sticky floor...
