Club Cool Short on Branded Cups, Three International Flavors at EPCOT

Lack of a restock timeline leaves the free tasting tradition temporarily constrained.

Overview

  • On March 17, 2026, visitors and reporters documented that Club Cool’s self-serve stations were missing multiple items, with photos shared by WDW News Today.
  • Minute Maid Joy Apple Lychee from Korea and Country Club Merengue from the Dominican Republic were unavailable across the machines, and Sprite Cucumber from Russia was absent on multiple stations.
  • The clear Coca-Cola–branded sampling cups were missing at several dispensers, which instead held plain, unbranded plastic cups.
  • Reporters described the substitute cups as slightly taller, thinner, and foggier than the usual version, though no official reason for the swap has been provided.
  • Cast members on site said they did not know when cups or flavors would be restocked, and guests encountered bottlenecks at the tasting machines.
