You can't — and I mean CAN'T — get Pepsi products at dining establishments in Disney World. This is due to a long-running Coca Cola sponsorship deal with Disney.
Disney has the contract to end all contracts with Coca-Cola. All the soda sold in the WDW theme parks and resorts is owned under the Coke umbrella. You might find Pepsi at your off-site hotel, restaurant, or gas station, but you will NOT find it on Disney property.
Many guests immediately noticed that the park sold Pepsi products exclusively, juxtaposing the other Disney parks around the world. While this really has no bearing on the domestic parks it was odd once again seeing the Disney brand next to the Pepsi logo, as it was something that hadn't been seen in over 25 years.
'" Coke was on the menu when Disneyland opened back in 1955, but it's been the parks' exclusive beverage provider since the 1980's. Today, the company's products are ubiquitous in Disney parks all around the world.
The Cola Wars finally came to an end in 1990. Coca-Cola struck a deal with Disneyland, becoming the exclusive soda provider across the entire park.
Beginning this month, the brand will supply more than 740 KFC stores and over 440 Pizza Hut restaurants across the nation. All stores will transition to Coca-Cola beverages by early next month, the statement said.
I am happy to share the news that soft drinks are complimentary when dining on a Disney Cruise Ship! Choose from a selection of Coke products. You may also choose iced tea, coffee, juice, or milk for no charge. Specialty drinks, smoothies, or alcoholic beverages will be an additional cost.
Dr Pepper is owned by the Dr Pepper Snapple Group, Inc., so it cannot be sold in the Disney parks. And you won't find it at the McDonald's on property either, because that's still in Disney World (trust us — we've tried).
Food and Drink Allowed in the Parks
Adult beverages of any kind are not allowed to be carried in. For safety reasons, glass jars and containers are not allowed. One exception to the glass rule is baby food, which is often packaged in small glass jars.
BURBANK, Calif. and ATLANTA- The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) and The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO) have expanded their multi-year agreement by which DASANI Water will be the featured bottled water at Disney's U.S. Parks and Resorts. The water also will be served on the Disney Cruise Line.
Coke spokesman Carlton Curtis said Burger King's switch was motivated in part by the growing presence of Pepsi's corporate parent, Pepsico, in the fast-food industry. Pepsico owns the largest number of fast-food outlets in the world, including Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Institutional investors hold a majority ownership of PEP through the 74.44% of the outstanding shares that they control. This interest is also higher than at almost any other company in the Beverages: Non-Alcoholic industry.
Pepsi has long been cut out of the business at leading U.S. burger chains. McDonald's has served Coca-Cola since Ray Kroc began expanding the chain in Illinois in 1955. In 2007, McDonald's tested the sales of certain packaged PepsiCo beverages, but not Pepsi or Diet Pepsi.
McDonald's quickly signed a deal with DreamWorks Animation SKG to promote 2007's Shrek 3. At the Walt Disney World theme parks, the McDonald's presence was phased out by the end of 2008. The Disney agreement also led to two large, full-line McDonald's restaurants at Walt Disney World, not in theme parks.
It's because KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut were owned by Pepsico under their subsidiary Yum! Foods. And when they spun off into their own company that relationship was still there so they kept using the same products.
Why the dry Park? Walt's vision for the Disney Parks was not to include alcohol. In 1956, Walt was quoted talking about Disneyland Park, saying, “No liquor, no beer, nothing. Because that brings in a rowdy element. That brings people that we don't want and I feel they don't need it.
No Cigarettes / E-cigarettes / Vape Pens at Disney Parks
Smoking and vaping are no longer allowed in either Disneyland or Walt Disney World. In the past there have been designated smoking areas, but they are no longer available inside either Resort.
Bottled sodas have increased in price as well. Assorted Coca-Cola offerings went up from $3.99 to $4.29. These price increases are also being seen for meals that come with drinks, like kids meals that come with the option of a small low-fat milk or a small Dasani bottled water.
A: Guests are allowed to bring outside food and nonalcoholic beverages into the parks for self-consumption, provided they are not in glass containers, do not require heating, reheating, processing or refrigeration and do not have pungent odors.
Keurig Dr Pepper is the oldest major manufacturer of soft drink concentrates and syrups in the United States. Dr Pepper is America's unique flavor and was created, manufactured and sold beginning in 1885 in the Central Texas town of Waco.
The Cocktail in the middle is called the Barc Speeder. Its primary ingredients are Camus 4.160, an extremely rare Cognac made by the Camus family and comes in a Disney Wish, limited edition engraved bottle. It also includes Grand Marnier Quintessence, and if you know me, you know I love my Grand Marnier!
Let's cut straight to it: the answer to this question is yes, visitors to Disney World can receive free ice water. You can get free cups of icy, refreshing water for you and your family at most of the park's quick-service dining locations.
Bottled soda: $4.50 – up from $4. Bottled water: $3.50 – up from $3.
