Club Cool Will Use Flooring Made From Recycled Bottles and Labels

Oh boy! We have an update on Club Cool returning to Epcot and it’s about the floors.  Yep, that’s the update, flooring.

All joking aside, it is kind of cool (intended) that they will be using flooring made from recycled bottles and even red Coke labels. Imagineer Zach Riddley posted about it on his Instagram account.

Flooring may not be the most exciting topic when it comes to theme park updates, but leave it to Disney to make it uniquely fascinating. The new flooring at Club Cool in EPCOT is a literal tribute to sustainability, crafted from recycled bottles and even red Coke labels. It’s an imaginative nod to the brand’s iconic imagery, cleverly woven into a space dedicated to global Coca-Cola flavors.

Imagineer Zach Riddley shared a sneak peek on Instagram, highlighting how this creative design choice blends innovation with a deeper environmental purpose. It’s a small detail with a big story, proving once again that Disney spares no effort in turning even floors into pieces of art.

Disney’s approach to flooring at Club Cool is a perfect example of how thoughtful design can elevate even the most overlooked details, transforming them into meaningful storytelling elements. The same philosophy applies when selecting flooring for any space—whether it’s a commercial setting, a home renovation, or a high-traffic area that needs durability without compromising style.

This is where flooring experts like Dalton Flooring Center come in, offering a range of innovative and sustainable options that balance aesthetics with functionality. From luxury vinyl that mimics natural wood to eco-friendly choices designed for longevity, the right flooring can make a space both visually striking and incredibly practical.

Speaking of innovative floors, hybrid flooring is another fantastic option worth talking about. Combining the durability of vinyl with the natural beauty of hardwood, it’s a practical yet stylish solution for modern spaces. This versatile choice offers versatility and sustainability, making it a top choice for eco-conscious homeowners and designers.

With its ability to withstand moisture and heavy foot traffic, it’s perfect for kitchens, basements, and even commercial settings—basically anywhere that could use a little magic beneath your feet. It’s all about blending aesthetics with function, much like Disney does with their creative park designs!

When reimagining your space, it’s easy to focus on walls, furniture, and decor—but the floor is where the real foundation of your design lies. A well-chosen floor sets the tone for the entire room, whether you’re going for cozy and rustic or sleek and modern. And in places where the floor takes a beating—think kids, pets, parties—making the right choice isn’t just about looks, it’s about longevity and performance. That’s why more homeowners are leaning toward resilient materials that offer both comfort and class.

Finding that perfect balance between beauty and durability is where a trusted partner makes all the difference. A seasoned flooring company in surrey will not only guide you through the dizzying array of options, but they’ll also understand the local climate and lifestyle needs that impact your floors long-term. Whether you’re updating a charming heritage home or adding character to a new build, expert guidance can help avoid common pitfalls and ensure your floors age gracefully, rather than just… aging.

And let’s not forget the style factor. Today’s flooring goes far beyond beige carpets and plain tiles. Think wide-plank engineered hardwoods, patterned tiles that nod to classic design, or even cork flooring that brings warmth and sustainability together in a single step. With so many cutting-edge choices, you don’t have to compromise practicality for personality. After all, your floor isn’t just something you walk on—it’s part of your story.

A post shared by Zach Riddley (@thezachriddley)

With the photo comes a long explanation about the floors. I transcribed the post below:

Today is National Have a Coke Day – and to celebrate I’m sharing a few design details about our entirely new Club Cool hosted by Coca-Cola experience coming to EPCOT this summer.

A cool design feature will be a totally custom floor. We carefully selected colors and aggregates to create three unique terrazzo finishes for the new Club Cool.

Terrazzo is a type of poured floor that is known for its style and flexibility, giving our Imagineers a chance to pick unique colors and textures that feel like EPCOT.

And get this – we are bringing pieces of Coca-Cola products into the materials of the floor itself!! This terrazzo will incorporate recycled Coca-Cola green glass chips that will capture light and bring the color and connection underfoot.

And if you look closely you can even see the remnants of the red bottle labels within the flooring material!

This terrazzo is also distinctive in that it uses a natural binder, made up of biodegradable materials. These beautiful floor finishes not only create a branded aesthetic for Club Cool, but further emphasizes both Disney and Coca-Cola’s commitment to sustainability and protecting our environment – perfectly fitting in EPCOT.

I really like that they are using recycled bottle parts into the flooring. But the big question is, will this Terrazzo flooring still get sticky?  I’m betting it will, but would it really be Club Cool if it didn’t have the sticky floor?

I’m mostly kidding, but I really am glad we’re getting it back this summer!

What do you think? Comment and let us know!
