    Watermelon dole whip margarita
    Aubrie H.

    While visiting the Polynesian Resort we were looking for a place to grab a drink and sit outside. Everything at Trader Sams was full so we decided to head over to the Barefoot Pool Bar. There is a window where you can order drinks without entering the pool deck. They have multiple mixed drinks and beers available. I opted for the Watermelon dole whip margarita which was delicious. Flavors paired well together and wasn't too sweet.

    Meh, it'll do. I suppose coming from years of experiencing the poolside bars at the mega-resorts in Vegas, I have high expectations. But even considering that, I have every right to have high expectations of Disney. I certainly spent WAY more at Disney over the course of just a weekend than I did a couple of weeks in Vegas. The bartenders here were ok. Not at all what I would expect of Disney or what I experienced at other Disney resort pool bars during my trip. It just didn't feel like anyone was giving beyond a super small fraction of an effort. Friendly enough. But not great, or even good, service. And the drinks were eh. The speciality drinks that are particular to the Polynesian cannot be found here. The drinks that are here are similar to what's found at all other resorts. Now, don't get me wrong, it's not like I sent my drinks back. They were made just fine. Not great, not good, just fine. Note the hours. This poolside bar doesn't open until the afternoon and it doesn't stay open late. Prices are high, but so it everything at Disney. Magic Bands and Key to the World cards are, of course, accepted here when cashing out your tab.

    Simple outside bar, conveniently located near the pool. Drinks are expensive but tasty.

    I actually thought this was one of the better food options to eat at on the Polynesian Resort.

Make sure to get there early so you can add your name to the wait list. Friday night we waited about 2 hours checking in at 8pm. Loved our drinks! Tasty and nice looking. It's always a must do when resort hopping if you have the time.

Bonus for the cool tiki mugs you can buy and add to your collection (I still have my mom's tiki glasses from the 60s and 70s). Depending on what drink you order, they may lower the lights, turn on the volcano and start chanting. I'll be honest, as an introvert, this wasn't my jam the first time I visited, because we were seated at the bar and the bartenders chose me for one of the acts. But the last two times, we were seated at a table in the very back and I love to watch from my dark corner. My husband ordered a zombie and our waitress did a hilarious zombie act as she brought it over to him. It's just so fun. I ordered a pineapple drink that featured Dole Whip and I didn't love it because the consistency was reminiscent of a Slurpee rather than Dole Whip. I feel like drinks are a little hit or miss and some are strong AF so know what you're getting into. Other things to keep in mind: if there's just two of you and you're not sitting at the bar, you will share a table. I don't love this but it is what it is. One time the couple we were seated with was cool but this last time, I made the mistake of making a light political comment that was meant with stony silence... my bad, but I don't need to think about putting my foot in my mouth if I'm not seated with strangers. All good, though, because for half the time we had our four-top to ourselves. This place is great for groups if you're willing to wait. Use the My Disney Exp app to put your name on the waitlist.

It's one of Disney's newer additions, and worth the detour. Grabbed a Cold Brew Coffee to start the morning. My only gripe was they were pretty heavy-handed with the ice, which left me with more diluted coffee than I bargained for so I'd you're an iced coffee purist, don't be shy about asking for light ice. That said, the experience was quick, easy, and painless if you're looking to get your caffeine fix before a full day in the parks. The space itself has a really nice ambience that fits the Polynesian's theming well. Being a newer concept, it feels fresh and polished without the wear you see at some of the older resort quick-service spots. Would I come back? Probably, especially for convenience if I'm already over at the Poly. Just going to ask for easy ice next time!

First off, let me sing the praises of Nick, the bartender. The man isn't just pouring drinks -- he's orchestrating symphonies. Think less "guy behind the counter" and more "liquid therapist with Jedi reflexes." He's got that Bourdain-level wit, too. You come in for a drink, you leave with a story. Speaking of drinks: the chocolate margarita. Yeah, I said it. At first I thought it was Disney sorcery gone wrong. Chocolate and tequila? Madness. But one sip in, and I was ready to sign adoption papers. It's smooth, decadent, and mischievous in a way Walt probably never intended. If Hershey's and Jose Cuervo had a love child, Nick is the godfather. The vibe here? Perfect. Quiet enough to escape the chaos below, but lively enough that you don't feel like you've accidentally stumbled into a hotel lobby AA meeting. Sit by the window, order whatever Nick recommends, and toast to the fact that somehow Disney still knows how to make magic for grown-ups. Outer Rim isn't just a bar -- it's proof that sometimes the best ride at Disney doesn't even have a wait time.

It wasn't incredibly cold outside so we chose to sit relatively close to the water outside and enjoy the views of nature with our meal. Upon arrival we were told there was a somewhat lengthy waitlist to be seated. Meanwhile, there were 4-5 employees standing at the hostess stand doing absolutely nothing other than talking amongst themselves and sipping their personal beverages. Upon examination on our surroundings, both my husband and I noticed countless empty tables and absolutely NO VALID reason for the extensive wait to be seated. The disappointment and aggravation didn't stop there. Once seated at our table, the service was slower than slow and never improved during our meal, despite the server's attempt to be jovial as well as apologetic while blaming the other staff members for the issues. And as a final blow, the bill was hyper- exorbitant for basic burgers, fries, and a drink. The long wait, unconscionably slow service , grossly unremarkable food, and high cost made for a decision to not return during future visits!
