Rose and Crown in Epcot’s World Showcase-United Kingdom Pavilion
Rose and Crown pours some of the freshest Guinness in the U.S., shipped directly from a brewery in Dublin every day of the week. On St. Patty’s Day, Rose & Crown Pub adds a special shamrock twist to its most famous beer. The Guinness is served using the traditional “double-pour” system and every pint has a shamrock outlined in the foam. Looking for something else? You can try some of the pub blends such as the Half & Half (Harp Irish Lager and Guinness) or the Golden Fox (Boddington’s and Bass Ale). You can order food from a limited menu in the pub area, or get a table in the dining room for such favorite dishes as fish and chips or bangers and mash.
Quick tips for packing for the holiday and photo ops.
You can get cute Shamrock necklaces at places like Target. Grab a fun shirt while there to wear in the parks. A quick search on Amazon came with some cute options. One is below. https://www.amazon.com/Disney-Mickey-Shamrock-Patricks-T-Shirt/dp/B0798XJ96Q?th=1&psc=1
