Nosh or Not
Visit this pool bar if…
- You want poolside frozen cocktails, beer, and wine without leaving your lounge chair—think Sunshine Margarita, Blueberry Lemonade, and other easy sippers.
- “Drink your dessert” sounds perfect—Safari Mudslide and other sweet, slushy standards hit the spot on a steamy AKL afternoon.
- You need simple bites fast.
Try a different spot if…
- You want a destination meal or craft-cocktail program—this is a classic Disney pool bar with a limited food lineup.
- You’re after quiet indoor seating or guaranteed views beyond the pool—this is an open-air, poolside scene.
- You’re not staying at AKL and don’t want the extra trek just for drinks—try Victoria Falls Lounge or Sanaa Lounge instead.
Important Information
- Guests who are not staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge are welcome to visit the bar, but please keep the pool itself to guests of the resort.
