Nosh or Not
Pause your Animal Kingdom expedition and enjoy a respite at Nomad Lounge if…
You want cocktails that aren’t just pure sugar and blue curaçao. We lovingly make fun of Disney’s constant use of blue curaçao in cocktails, and if you’re on that same boat, Nomad Lounge’s menu is perfect for you. These drinks are strong and well-balanced overall.
You want one of the best outdoor tables in Disney World. There is nothing as peaceful as the outdoor patio at Nomad Lounge. The calm water, the greenery, the Nomad Lounge vibes — it doesn’t get much more relaxing than that!
You want to try a variety of dishes. Since there are mostly small plates here, you can order more and therefore try more! From sweet to savory, you can have the entire experience here. Don’t forget the Churros!
Continue your journey and pass up Nomad Lounge if…
You’re really hungry. You can easily make a meal out of the small bites, but sometimes you’re so hungry, you want to sit somewhere and feast on your own plate. If you’re looking to fill up, head to Tusker House — it’s all-you-can-eat, plus they have characters!
You want something quicker. Even though this is a lounge, you may have to wait a little bit to get seated since it is popular. If you aren’t looking to use up any precious time during your park visit, there are Quick Service locations that could help you save that time.
You’re tight on money. The cocktails here are delicious, but that comes at a price. When you add that and a few snacks, you’re looking at a hefty bill.
