food IS a theme park
Eating in Disney World can be a little tricky right now.
Nomad Lounge
With limited capacities remaining in most Disney World restaurants and demand and capacities rising for the parks as a whole, tables in popular spots are in pretty high demand. This is true for restaurants with Advance Dining Reservations and even for some that are walk-up only. There’s even one restaurant in Disney World that you need to rope drop (in a manner of speaking) if you want to visit!
Sometimes you gotta go where everybody knows your name! Whoops, that’s Cheers, isn’t it?
Rose & Crown Pub and Dining Room
You know that feeling of walking into your neighborhood bar and everyone knows you? The Cheers reference holds true of this spot too. That’s basically the feeling you get when walking into Rose and Crown. We like the food just fine but we love the feeling we get when we enter the pub doors at this EPCOT restaurant. We revisited the restaurant to cozy up with some Guinness and warm our bones from the “chilly” Florida weather. (Hey, it got below 50 degrees this week!) Step inside for a pint and see what the restaurant is like since our last visit!
Annnnnd we’re back! Continuing our exploration of the newest property, Disney’s Riviera Resort today, it’s time to go check out the Voyageurs’ Lounge!
Riviera Resort
The swanky digs of this stylish new lounge reflect Walt Disney and his wife Lillian’s travels throughout Europe! Being huge Disney buffs, we can’t wait to see the place!
We’re fond of Nomad Lounge at Disney’s Animal Kingdom due to their consistent delivery of hand-crafted cocktails and adventurous bites! It is a favorite amongst us all here at DFB!
Nomad Lounge
If you need a little refresher, The Nomad Lounge is conveniently located on the pathway towards Pandora. You’ll find it attached to Animal Kingdom’s Signature Restaurant Tiffins. It’s easily accessible from Discovery Island, Africa, and Pandora — but we enjoy it so we’d even make the trek across the park!
Helllllllllllo from Disney Springs! We are bringing you a review from one of the most popular spots to grab a light bite and cocktail, Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar! We discovered they had some new items join the line-up recently, and we had to swing by to try them out!
Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar
First up, we had to sample some of the seasonal libations. The bartender let us know the Old-Fashioned and the Florida Mule tend to stay on the menu, however the top two are swapped out every month or so.
With the exciting reopening of Tangaroa Terrace Tropical Bar & Grill at Disneyland Hotel, Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar has introduced two brand new cocktails!
Trader Sam’s Menu
And the refreshed Tangaroa Terrace Bar & Grill also now has an outdoor bar (!!!) — so you can get Trader Sam’s drinks without even going into the popular tiki bar!
Tangaroa Terrace Outdoor Bar
This is super convenient — and takes advantage of the great outdoor lounge spaces around Tangaroa Terrace! [Read more…]
at Walt Disney World’s Polynesian Village Resort is an oasis of creative drinks and tiki decor. Truly: grabbing a drink here is always a fun time.

You never really know what’s going to happen around here…
Antics in the Grog Grotto
And our Disney pal Daniel (hi, @WanderDisney!) recently visited with Trader Sam and shared his thoughts on some of the bar’s drink options.
Drinks at Trader Sam’s
The Tropical Snowstorm is listed on the menu’s limited time, seasonsl insert, but Daniel notes that all the drinks on this page are available to order all year. (So long as the bar has the ingredients, you can get one!) The Tropical Snowstorm is Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey, Parrot Bay Coconut Rum, Coconut Cream, Cinnamon, and Nutmeg!
in Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs is an Indiana Jones-inspired bar where creatively-applied movie references are part of everything they do. From our first visit, we loved the cool space and the funky menu.
Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar
And Jock’s not just in it for the clever names. Come the holiday season, they’re also in it for the seasonal drinks! During Halloween we loved the spooky drinks and the Poison Apple Glow Cubes that came with them. And for the Christmas season, Jock Lindsey’s offering two holiday libations.
Back in July, we told you about Animal Kingdom’s newest place to chill out: Restaurantosaurus Lounge. At the time, it was described as undergoing a three month trial period and had limited hours from 5PM to closing. But we loved the concept, particularly as indoor air conditioned places to rest our adventuring feet are always welcome in Walt Disney World’s largest park.

That said, as much as we love the concept, sticking a “lounge” in a corner of a counter service restaurant does not make for a relaxing retreat. We’ll give you our full thoughts at the end of this article, but first — some details… .
