HAR! I’m claiming the #1 Spot on this Comment Section here Mateys! This was a fun episode to film! My fave out of the way spot to chill is in Wonders of Life (when it’s open….)

It was a lot of fun filming with Amanda and Rick. And yes, the camera does put on 150 pounds. At least on me it does. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Can’t wait for next month to go to Club Cool. I want to try the sample beverages. I want to get my kids to try them and film their reactions to them. I don’t know any hidden places at Epcot so I will be reading everyone’s entries to locate some cool places to go.

My favorite little hideaway is the area to the left of the United Kingdom. I think it is just beautiful, quiet and never crowded. Just a nice place to sit, enjoy the beauty and take a break! Thanks!

Great video Rick. I really enjoyed this show because Epcot is my wife and my favorite park. There’s nothing like Club Cool to get out of the heat and get a cool drink..and it’s FREE!! Hard to find free stuff in Disney World so when I go to Club Cool, I feel like I’m getting away with something. Warning: on hot crowded days, the floor in Club Cool gets pretty sticky. My favorte place to chill at Epcot has to be on a bench at the International Gateway between The United Kingdom and France. We grab some Fish and Chips and sit on a bench there and eat and people watch. Wish I was there right now. Scºoºtt

Great episode as always!! I’m looking foward to visiting Club Cool on my next trip. As for a hidden place I really don’t have one but at Innoventions Esat & West there’re really cool stuff for kids and adults to do. People should take some time to visit.

Loved the video of Club Cool! My family always visits there for a free sample of something when we are at Epcot. I think our favorite hidden place in Epcot isn’t really hidden at all, but rather the “Behind the Seeds” tour in the Land. It’s really interesting and you can learn new tips for improving your gardens at home better.

I have never been able to make it to this spot, and I’ve always wondered about it. I love it that now I’ve seen the inside and what it is about. Thanks for doing this one, Rick.
My favorite out of the way spot (funny enough) are the Childcare Centers in the parks. Those places are downright awesome. They are quiet, have lots of toys and movies for kids, a nursing room, a kitchen with highchairs and . . . air conditioning!!!!

ANOTHER winner—umm except for ya alls heads being cut off at the end (LOL)
I think Beverly should be sold in stores NOT —-this is a GREAT place to go on a hot day–and I so do love to see the expressions on th FIRST TIMERS face when they taste some of the drinks!!!
My fav “OUT OF THE WAY” spot has to be the TRI_CIRCLE D Rance Horse barn…It is a MUST go to spot for me every trip—Love to just go and see all the horses and say HI–yes they do say HI back LOL),,it is just very peaceful there.
Thanks for another great video!!

Somehow I have missed Club Cool, I will be looking for it on my next trip.
There are so many little nooks to set and enjoy the beauty of Disney. I can’t pick a favorite. Everywhere is just beautiful to the eye… just a joy to be there.

Great Video Rick, Amanda, and Mark. I have two favorite places to go to at Epcot. They aren’t out of the way, but just places that I like to go to for a treat. They are the bakery at the French Pavillion and the snack bar at the Norwegian Pavillion.
I’m looking forward to next weeks video!

I really envy you guys being able to go to Disney parks so often. Sigh.
It looks like Club Cool dropped the Ice Station part which was especially welcome on a really hot day. It is a little gem with the free soda.
I love ambient Disney Park sounds but unfortunately it was nearly drowning out most of the beginning and end of the video.
Hidden space? Well, Snow White’s Wishing Well up in the garden of the Castle of Magic Kingdom is a nice find.

I love Club Cool! Thanks! My favorite out of the way spot is the seating area in Epcot, next to the French bakery. Usually not crowded, cool, and calm. And hey, those French pastries!

LOVE IT! I haven’t been in Club Cool since you had to enter thru the ice-cave! Great video and loved hearing the “Sounds of Disney”….it did make hearing some of the video difficult tho!
I have several “cool-spots” we enjoy; On the patio over-looking the gondola’s in Italy and the covered bar area next to Tusker House in Animal Kingdom.
I agree with Peggy above – I really envy you guys being able to go to Disney so often….Maybe one of these days I will! In the meantime – I really enjoy the way you guys bring us closer to the magic! I read DisneyEveryday.com and Mouseplanet.com every day!

Thanks so much Rick, Amanda and MarK! I just love disneyeveryday.com and mouseplanet.com, and I’m so ready to be in WDW again! I love to select any bench around World Showcase and just people watch. Thanks again guys and keep smiling!

“Cool” video Rick. My family and I have started a tradition that our first visit to Epcot on our trip we always have lunch at the Coral Reef resturant. Beautiful setting and some of the best food in the parks. My daughters love to watch the fish and remember the time they saw daddy dive with Mickey and the sharks.

Great video! This place was on my list of new things to try on our last trip and we tried all the flavors including beverly. It was a lot of fun. The kids each built their own disney character cup and had a blast.
My favourite out of the way spot at epcot is the garden area in France near the bridge. It’s beautiful and very relaxing.

Friends don’t let friends drink Beverly.

Another great episode! Im surprised at the number of people who dont know about Club Cool – I guess we were lucky enough to find it on our first trip so always make a point of going! Hmmm I think my favorite hidden spot is at night near the fountain where the ground lights up with beautiful patterned lights! Its nice just to take a little while out to watch the kids chasing the lights! xx

Love this place! My son got me to taste Beverly long before I knew exactly what that tasted like. As I stood there, spitting and sputtering, 2 teen aged boys walked past and laughed. “Let me guess…Beverly!” is that they said to me. Of course, you know I HAD to do this to my husband!
Can’t wait to get back there …. soon!
