The pretzel everyone mentions is good but again way very over priced. The server we had was very nice and even offered us to box the second cake included with the wicked wind down to take home. He did forget that I requested no ice in my first drink and i had to request water refills and soda refills several times and wasn't very fast at bringing the drinks, but he was pleasant overall I would go again mainly for the view and maybe a drink, but knowing what to expect helps.

I almost don't want to share this pro tip but here we are: make a reso around 8:30 and you'll get a prime viewing spot for fireworks with your partner. It's all kinds of right, with the sleek 1980s lounge aesthetic and large windows giving you a pretty view of the underside of Spaceship Earth and the lagoon with the World Showcase surrounding it. And that's where the fireworks happen and you don't have to suffer the crowds and noise. Cocktails are elite and the prices match. Be careful of the more risky options unless you thrive on unusual flavors because that's an expensive risk at 25 dollars + a pop. Our fantastic waiter recommended the Peach Shrub Whiskey Smash and was so convincing, I ordered it despite not liking whisky very much but it had bubbles, so I had to and I loved it (he confided that his wife hates whiskey but loves this drink, too). I followed with the Pink Peppercorn Clover Club, less daring but just as delicious. I'll order the hummus next time, looks like a solid vegan option. When people are under the impression that Disney World is just for kids, I'm not sure you can always change their minds. Geo 82 is a good start.

I genuinely think about this margarita long after leaving Disney. And I have to mention the chips & salsa! Seriously some of the best salsa I've ever had. Fresh, flavorful, and the perfect thing to snack on while sipping margaritas. If you're doing the World Showcase, this spot is an absolute must-visit. Easy 5 stars every single time.

This Disney Vacation Club exclusive lounge is a nice break on hot or even warm days…read more The air conditioning is great! Complimentary snacks and Coca-Cola Freestyle drinks as well as coffee are very nice as well. Some of the seating options also have phone charging capabilities, if that is needed I recommend discussing with the cast member when you register at the podium. Both times we have been we only had a short wait of a few minutes before a table was available. The decor inside fits well with the surrounding Frontierland and the former Shooting Arcade it replaced. This most recent visit, I noticed an animated character moving around on a display that I had not seen before. I imagine there are other "Easter eggs" to discover on future visits.

MAGIC KINGDOM NEEDS A LARGER DVC LOUNGE :o)…read more We recently dropped by McKim's Mile House, the Magic Kingdom Disney Vacation Club (DVC) lounge that opened in 2025. We love having the DVC lounge - everyone in our group enjoyed being able to relax and recharge in the AC space with free snacks and beverages (as well as recharge our cell phones). While we wish the decor was on par with the Wilderness Lodge, simply having a quiet place with AC was more than enough for us weary park guests on the warm morning at Magic Kingdom. Try to have your entire group together when checking in with the Cast Member at the door. If there is a wait list, you might not be able to reserve space for friends and family who are somewhere else in the park and on their way to McKim. Our group had split up in the park and six of us immediately went inside the lounge upon checking in - when the rest of our group reached McKim, the lounge was full so they had to wait outside and could not join us until other park guests left the lounge. It was at least a 15 minute wait on an off-peak day (around 11 a.m.). It is unfortunate that McKim's Mile House only has space for 50 or so guests. We later learned from Google that there are around 250,000 DVC members worldwide - we think everyone can agree that Disney's most popular park needs a larger lounge :o)

I've never experienced a very long wait here at all and seating has always been easy to find too.

It is located near the entrance to Star Wars and kiddie corner to Star Tours, directly next to Sci Fi Drive In. The line can get long but will move fast. My wife and I prefer to rope this spot of come in the evening before park close. I prefer to get beer flights. Some of my favorites include: Golden Road Hefeweizen, North Coast Red Seal Ale, Sierra Nevada Hazy Little Thing IPA, Stone Delicious IPA, Golden Road Mango Cart or North Coast Scrimshaw Pilsner. Honestly they are all pretty good! MY wife always goes for a cocktail. She loves the strawberry hibiscus soda, which is non-alcoholic, and adds Tito's to it and make it a cocktail and will always do a double for around $3-4 more! For food we always go for the large pretzel with cheese and mustard. Its a great price, really large, served warm, its soft and salty and served with cheese and mustard. You can ask for a second cup of either for no additional cost. In the last year, they have changed their charcuterie board and I personally prefer the previous version but this one is also really good. It now comes with Point Reyes Original Blue Cheese, Mt Tam Brie, Midnight Moon Goat Cheese, Sopressata Salami, Sliced Bresaola, Blueberry Compote, Onion Jam, and Bread and Butter Pickles with Lavash. Their last food item is the "Avenue Chips" which is House-made Ranch Kettle Chips served with Beer Cheese Fondue. Not a great portion for the price but these are ok, I would say get the pretzel instead. All in all this is a great bar to relax, sit and people watch or grab a drink or a snack, just a great atmosphere. It gets really nice in the evening when the sun is setting and it's not as hot. We love coming here and always make a point to stop in when we visit Hollywood Studios. ACES!

Best Happy Hour you're going to find at Disney Springs. I can't tell you how many times I think…read moreabout going to try another restaurant around Disney Springs and then remember, oh wait it's between 2:30-6:30pm I should just go to STK since they have the best happy hour. I've been here early, late, by myself, with dates, with my family. However, I've still never had a steak here lol and I am a total steak guy. I prefer sitting upstairs. Many times though they won't open upstairs if it isn't that busy. Even better if you can sit up there secluded and have your own VIP experience where 1 bartender waits on you and there are actually TV's up top. If you have to sit at the bar downstairs it's ok, but not TV's. You kind of want a corner seat to people watch. Oh, and up top has an outdoor patio rooftop. One night many months ago, I had a hotel room at the Holiday Inn nearby and decided to try all of the cocktails on the menu. Yep, sometimes ya just gotta do it. However, the first drink of the day is always the $9 Spiced Watermelon which consists of: patrón silver tequila - st~germain - watermelon purée - fresh lime - jalapeño Holy smokes do I love that thing. Additionally, espresso martinis, old fashioned, or any of the cocktails here are always fabulous. Don't be afraid to get outside your comfort zone. I also really like the cucumber stiletto. I've basically had every item on their happy hour food menu as well. Been here on many occasions and just said bring 1 of everything. You can never go wrong with the burger or meatballs though.

STK at Disney Springs is one of the most overrated restaurants I've ever been to. They charge…read moreluxury steakhouse prices for food that wouldn't survive at a chain restaurant. I should have taken the hint and gone somewhere else when the stale tasting bread loaf was served. We requested another loaf, and it tasted exactly the same. Maybe stale bread is the new steakhouse trend? All the main dishes are served à la carte, and the sides were over twenty dollars on top of sixty to one hundred dollar entrées. That alone would be fine if the food were actually good, but it wasn't. The tater tots were mediocre at best, and the Brussels sprouts were overcooked, dry, and tasted like burnt bacon. Our server ended up removing the Brussels sprouts from the bill since none of us touched them after the first bite. Tina, our server, is the reason I gave two stars instead of one. She was friendly, attentive, and made the experience a little better. Now for the cocktails. My wife ordered the espresso martini and said it was decent, but not even as good as the one from our local burger joint. For a twenty two dollar "craft cocktail," I expected much better. I ordered two dirty vodka martinis with blue cheese olives, which came with a four dollar upcharge on an already twenty plus dollar drink. When the order was taken, I was asked if I wanted olives, but no one mentioned there would be an extra charge. It's not the money that bothered me, we already expected outrageous Disney Springs pricing. It's the principle of charging extra for olives in a martini, which traditionally comes with olives. To make matters worse, the drinks were so watered down that after two martinis I barely felt anything at all. The entire place feels more focused on loud music, Instagram photos, and pretending to be exclusive than actually delivering quality food and drinks. After paying nearly four hundred dollars for three entrées (chicken, shrimp scampi, and salmon), one salad, two sides, and three cocktails for a party of four, the experience was honestly embarrassing, both for me and for STK. Orlando has far better steakhouses that actually deserve the price tag. I left feeling completely ripped off and won't ever be back!!
