REVIEW: Why Disney Adults Are Suddenly Running to This Pavilion at EPCOT

You know the drill when it comes to Regal Eagle Smokehouse, right?

Regal Eagle Smokehouse

We’re talking BBQ with classic sides, Fries with beer cheese sauce, Banana Pudding, and more… usually, that is. But we’re visiting Regal Eagle Smokehouse for a little something different today. Because, for the first time ever, The American Adventure’s Quick Service restaurant is serving up a specialty item for the 2025 EPCOT Food & Wine Festival this year! Let’s check it out…

Drink

The Cherry-Lime Slush is a non-alcoholic beverage featuring Frozen Minute Maid Cherry Limeade with cherry syrup. It costs $6.49.

Cherry-Lime Slush

When we started drinking, we could really taste the lime over the cherry, but we appreciated how the flavor of the lime was less sharp than a traditional limeade. We were a little disappointed that the cherry didn’t come through, but it wasn’t too tart. The whole drink was super refreshing and a great way to beat the heat. We were debating grabbing a shot of tequila from the outdoor bar and mixing it with our drink for a boozy option, too!

Refreshing

OVERALL

So, is this drink worth making a detour as you make your way around all of the Festival Marketplace Booths? If you’re already planning on eating at Regal Eagle, it can be a great refreshing drink to have along your journey, but we wouldn’t go out of the way to get it. It’s a simple drink compared to other drinks we tried during the festival, but a great, kid-friendly drink.

You KNOW we’ll be back at Regal Eagle Smokehouse soon. But in the meantime, there MUCH more of the EPCOT Food and Wine Festival to explore!
