The Walt Disney World Vacation Video Drinking Game
Recent discussion has brought up the point that there is a lot of reused
footage in the WDW Vacation Videos. In true Internet fashion, this calls
for the creation of a drinking game.
As WDW is a family-oriented place, the drink of choice for this is fruit
juice. What you actually drink is up to you.
The current version is based on the "pre-family" tapes; I'm sure the quotes
are different for the later tapes. Any suggested additions should be mailed
to www@kazrak.com.
Please note that this is not just intended for the latest tapes. Some
of the items are impossible unless you are watching an older tape, and others
require knowledge of other tapes.
And now, without further ado...
One Drink
- The footage used is obviously not from WDW.
(side-by-side seating in Space Mountain)
- The footage used is obsolete. (attraction has been
changed since footage was shot)
- The footage used bears little or no resemblance to
the actual attraction, instead consisting of special effects that look
entirely unlike the attraction. (Tower of Terror, Alien Encounter, Body Wars,
Honey I Shrunk the Audience...)
- The attraction being promoted no longer exists.
(Splashtacular!)
- The attraction being promoted is not yet open. (Disney
Cruise Line)
-
One extra drink if this is not the most recent tape, but the
attraction is still not open. (Test Track)
- Gratuitous bikini shots. (Focus of scene is one or more attactive young
women in bikinis) Note: This includes the video box, if appropriate.
- One extra drink if camera pans or zooms from bikini shot to
what is actually being promoted. (All-Star Music pool)
- One extra drink if the activity being shown is designed to
make the bikini jiggle. (running across beach, etc.)
- Something that never happens. (A child runs across Main Street to a
waiting Mickey with nobody else in the area)
- A guest is singing a Disney song.
- One extra drink if they do a very bad job of it.
- Two extra drinks if they do a very good job of it.
- One extra drink if they attempt to dance.
- A walkaround character is acting as a bellhop, caddy, etc.
- A walkaround character is shown enjoying the amenities of WDW. (pools,
golfing, etc.)
- A logo for a TV Network not owned by Disney is seen.
- One extra drink if this tape dates from after Disney bought ABC.
- A guest describes a marriage proposal or recommends proposing at WDW.
Repeated Segments
One drink for each of the following segments:
- "Scariest ride I've ever been on...it's great, you gotta ride it."
(Space Mountain)
- "And then just move on to the next country." (World Showcase)

take off." (Summet Plummet)
- "We got met at the door by the butler..." (Adventurer's Club)
- "If Pleasure Island was open 24 hours we'd be here!"

- "...even your tee times. (Whack!) Nice shot..." (Guest Benefits)
- "...my daughter cried!" (Mickey's Starland/Toontown Fair)
One drink for each previous segment with the same guest or guests in this tape.
-
Yes, this is cumulative; one drink the second time, two the third,
three the fourth. (There's one couple at Epcot that can make this
brutal...)
One extra drink if you've seen an alternate form
of this segment.
Examples:
- "We almost went and hit the ceiling there I'm sure." (Space Mountain)
- "Change accents as you go" (World Showcase)
- "He takes us into...the Library..." (Adventurer's Club>
If the tape has a 'host', one drink every time you see him/her. (Two if
he or she is not being an idiot.)
