Guests can now enjoy select free beverages in EPCOT's World Showcase – but only on Fridays and Saturdays.
Food and drink have become central to the EPCOT over the years, with World Showcase giving guests the chance to eat (or drink) their way through 11 themed country pavilions surrounding World Showcase Lagoon.
From fish and chips in the United Kingdom to crêpes in France and margaritas in Mexico, the park has built an extensive lineup of restaurants, snack stands, bars, and quick service locations around its international theme.
That lineup grows even larger during EPCOT's seasonal festivals, when temporary kitchens appear around the park with additional dishes and drinks. Right now, guests can experience the 2026 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, which runs through November 21.
However, visitors looking for something a little cheaper now have another option.
EPCOT Is Now Handing Out Free Drinks Twice a Week
Twinings Refresher samples are now available at The Tea Caddy in EPCOT's United Kingdom Pavilion.
Located toward the back of the pavilion, The Tea Caddy specializes in Twinings tea and tea accessories alongside British sweets, cookies, and royal memorabilia. Disney says the store carries dozens of Twinings blends.
Guests can now sample three Twinings Refreshers flavors inside the shop: peach mango, strawberry raspberry, and blueberry lemon.
The samples are complimentary, although availability is considerably more limited than the shop's usual operating hours. The Refresher sample station opens at 11 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and continues while supplies last.
Anyone who discovers a new favorite can also purchase a full box of the Refreshers from The Tea Caddy.
That makes the United Kingdom Pavilion the latest EPCOT location to offer guests a free drink without requiring an additional purchase, although this particular offering is currently restricted to just two days of the week.
Free Drinks Aren't Entirely New at EPCOT
The timing also puts the new samples squarely in the middle of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival.
Running from August 27 through November 21, 2026, the festival adds Global Marketplaces serving dishes and beverages inspired by countries and cultures around the world. Entry to the festival is included with regular EPCOT admission, although food and drinks from its marketplaces cost extra.
For guests specifically searching for free drinks, however, The Tea Caddy isn't the only option.
Club Cool, located beside Creations Shop in World Celebration, has long offered complimentary samples of Coca-Cola products from around the world. The current experience opened in 2021 and allows guests to try multiple international soft drinks from self-serve dispensers.
That includes Beverly, the famously bitter Italian drink that has earned something of a reputation among Disney World guests. Other flavors have rotated in and out of the lineup over the years, with several temporarily disappearing from the machines earlier in 2026.
Unlike the new Twinings offering, Club Cool's samples are not restricted to Fridays and Saturdays, giving guests another opportunity to cool down with a complimentary drink throughout their EPCOT visit.
For anyone visiting World Showcase at the end of the week, however, there is now one more free tasting experience to add to the list.
