The Cruel April Fool’s Joke Disney World Played on Us

Today is April Fool’s Day, and we ran into a well-timed trick in EPCOT this weekend!

EPCOT

On April Fool’s Day, there are plenty of great ways to celebrate our favorite jokesters in Disney World. From Monster’s, Inc. Laugh Floor in Magic Kingdom to Muppet Vision 3D in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, there’s all kinds of silly fun to be had! But this April Fool’s Day weekend, Disney turned the tables on us with a situation involving one of our favorite Disney World rites of passage.

In EPCOT, Club Cool is a Coca-Cola merchandise location that also allows guests to sample different flavors of Coca-Cola products from around the world for FREE!

Some of the flavors can swap out from time to time, but one staple that has become a rite of passage for Disney enthusiasts is the notorious Beverly.

Club Cool Flavors

The infamous Beverly beverage hails from Italy, and while it is an acquired taste, most people find the drink to be incredibly bitter. In fact, some Disney World veterans will even trick their unsuspecting friends into tasting Beverly for the first time at Club Cool.

Beverly!

Well, this April Fool’s Day weekend, we had the tables turned on us when we visited Club Cool in EPCOT and noticed that Beverly is currently the only flavor available!

Only Beverly Here!

We spoke with a Cast Member about the missing flavors and they told us that despite the appropriate timing, this actually isn’t an intentional joke they’re pulling on us — Club Cool occasionally has issues with keeping flavors in stock, and that’s the reason for the current absence of all of the flavors except Beverly.

It looks like all those Spring Break crowds must have been thirsty!

EPCOT

If you have plans to visit EPCOT soon, keep in mind that Club Cool might have limited flavors available. But don’t worry, you’re just a short walk away from the World Showcase, where there are plenty of unique drinks to try, including the seasonal offerings from the Flower & Garden Festival!
