Listen up, soda junkies and Disney fanatics! If you thought you’ve seen it all at Disney Springs, prepare to have your carbonated minds blown.
Welcome to the Coca-Cola Store Orlando, where your childhood dreams of swimming in soda might not come true (thanks, lawyers), but everything else is fair game!
The Basics (Because We All Need a Little Hand-Holding)
Opened in July 2016, this three-story shrine to all things Coke is more than just a place to grab a quick caffeine fix. It’s a full-blown experience that’ll leave you buzzing (and not just from the sugar rush).
- Location: Right across from Planet Hollywood Observatory and AMC Dine-In Theatre. You can’t miss it – it’s the building that looks like it’s made of Coke bottles.
- Hours: Same as most places in Disney Springs. But let’s be real, nighttime here hits different. Everything’s better with a neon glow, right?
The Coca-Cola Polar Bear: Your New Fluffy Best Friend
OMG, if you’ve ever had the burning desire to hug a polar bear without the risk of becoming lunch, this is your chance!
- Where: 2nd floor, because stairs are good for you (or take the ramp, we don’t judge)
- When: 10 AM – 9 PM daily
- Cost: Free! (Well, free-ish. We all know you’re gonna buy something)
Pro Tip: The staff here are camera ninjas. They’ll snap pics for potential purchase, but they’ll also use your phone. And trust me, this bear is more photogenic than your entire Instagram feed.
