Upcountry Beverages

by josh on September 9, 2012

Location: Upcountry Beverages is located along the back pathway that connects Asia and Africa near the entrance to Flights of Wonder.

Food Type: Frozen beverages (some alcoholic), beer, and snacks.

Dining Plan: Some items quality as snacks.

Discounts: None.

Menu:

Unique Items: The Frozen Drinks are somewhat unique, though Disney sells similar concoctions at the other theme parks not named Magic Kingdom.

Advantages:

  • Quick ordering.
  • Tasty drinks.  There’s definitely some alcohol in the margaritas.  These aren’t the ones where you get a half ounce of liquor underneath a non-alcoholic Icee.

Disadvantages:

  • Not cheap.
  • No dedicated seating.

Value: Average.  This is a standard Disney beverage kiosk.

Reputation: It doesn’t have much of one because the Margaritas are relatively new and it isn’t in an obvious location.  Those that have purchased drinks seem to enjoy them.

Choices:

A half Bali Hai Strawberry/Maharajah Lime Margarita on the left and the Maharajah Lime Margarita on the right (should memory serve).  These were both pretty good for what they are – very cold, very refreshing, and moderately boozy.  You’re familiar with these if you’ve ever had a frozen Margarita at the Mexico Pavilion or anywhere else for that matter, you slobbery drunk.  I wouldn’t hesitate to order another when temperatures really start to get up there.  They’re a nice choice if it’s what you’re looking for.

Seating: There are tables and chairs overlooking the Tree of Life and Discovery Island on the other side of the street.
