Barcelona Lounge did not disappoint. The vibe was vibrant, energetic and colorful like the city. The brilliant stained-glass wall behind the bar was spectacular. We stopped in to bring breakfast back up to our room upstairs but lingered for a while to absorb the beauty of this lounge. Just incredible! Located on the lower lobby level of the Gran Destino Tower at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, Barcelona Lounge has amazing lake views of Lago Dorado from its patio bar. Overhead was a magnificent chandelier framed by sculpted columns which brought to mind a glistening Spanish sunrise or sunset. We got a ham, egg, and cheese croissant sandwich, an espresso, a Cafe con Leche with caramel, and a sugar cookie to take upstairs to our room. Everything was delicious. The service was friendly and prompt. We loved this place and look forward to coming back again!

Whenever visiting Coronado Springs I think we will be eating breakfast at Rix from here on out instead of the food court. There was no wait to get in, in the morning. Their omelet and avocado toast were pretty good (though the omelet was not as warm as I would've hoped) and I appreciated being able to substitute the potatoes for fresh fruit. Overall for the price this is an excellent choice if you want food that isn't greasy like the quick service breakfast and want to avoid potato barrel overload.

Dawa Bar is in Disney's Animal Kingdom in the Africa section of the park. It is very close to the…read moreLion King show and directly next to Tusker House. You will need a park ticket to visit this bar. This is one of our always stop when visiting Animal Kingdom. This is just a bar, nothing fancy, but the bartenders are always great, the drinks are good, there is usually a special cocktail, the atmosphere around the bar is always upbeat and you might even catch a live performance while sipping on your cocktail. This bar has different options including specialty beer, wine and a basic stocked bar with some cocktails. There is usually a specialty cocktail of the month or quarter or event happening as well. I usually pick either a specialty beer or make a cocktail with the liquors they have. My wife usually chooses the specialty drinks. We have always enjoyed the drinks at this bar. Some of their drinks are pre batch made but for batch-made drinks, they are not terrible and still pack a nice little punch. Recently we ordered the Prickly Pear Margarita, which was originally designed to celebrate Hispanic and Latin American cultures. This was meant to be a limited time drink and it is still available, but I have no idea for how long. It is really good, one of the better drinks we have had. Hopefully it is popular so it will stay on the menu permanently. Another popular drink is the Ngumu Jungle Juice. This one is also very refreshing and a good one to order if you are unsure. I would definitely recommend this bar. They have great drinks, really friendly bartenders, lots of seating at the bar and also around it. It is perfect to grab before waiting in line for the safari or Lion King show. You cannot bring drinks into the Lion King Show but if there is a line, this is the perfect stop while you wait. I would say make sure to check it out when you need a quick drink at Animal Kingdom.

Great space to get some pickle action!…read more What I went for an hour to play pickleball. I didn't get any food. I love how organized it is, there are quite a number of courts available. Environment Located in a plaza, so no need to worry about parking. Inside the courts are labeled so it is easy to find. There are restrooms with a lot of stalls. Pretty clean Niceness of the staff Since the reservation was made online, there was little to no interaction with the staff. I also went with a person that has already been there so I am not sure what friendly introduction they may have Dollar Id say it is a bit on the expensive side but a good workout if you have 4 people sharing 1 court. Yes/No Yea, I would return or recommend this location. Not sure about the food since I haven't had it. Disclaimer: rookie to not pickleball player

Hello There! MAY THE…read moreFORCE BE WITH YOU My partner and I were excited to finally secure a res at Oga's Cantina at Hollywood Studios. We made many attempts at Disneyland in the past, and we finally lucked out on our trip to Florida last year. Almost as great as making the Kessel Run in twelve parsecs! DO. OR DO NOT. THERE IS NO TRY. After securing our res, we made sure to plan our day carefully around our res. We didn't want to miss this opportunity since a visit to Oga's had eluded us for so long. We checked in for our res, and patiently waited for our name to be called. Just an FYI: guests, storm troopers, bounty hunters, Jedi Knights, Pilots, Resistance fighters, and members of the Galactic Senate have only 45 minutes to partake in their drinks and snacks. I FIND YOUR LACK OF FAITH DISTURBING. The host took us into the Cantina and showed us to our "place" at the bar. There are other areas where guests were grouped: various tables and booths in the space, as well as standing only areas, with one of them being the bar. The bartender directed us to the menus, and we took time looking them over while also taking in our new surroudings. With such limited time, we decided on only ordering 1 drink each as we didn't want to rush, and we also wanted to enjoy this experience. In the end, ordered the Jedi Mind Trick and the Outer Rim. THESE AREN'T THE DROIDS YOU'RE LOOKING FOR. While we waited for our drinks, we walked around the space, which to be honest isn't very large. For some reason, I expected Death Star proportions, but really the entire space could fit into the Millennium Falcon comfortably. There is also a "DJ" who plays the latest tunes/songs from across the galaxy. The drinks were dropped off, and they were ok, nothing life altering TBH. While we sipped our drinks, we literally got a front row seat of their bar operations: sadly, all the drinks are pre-mixed, which I did not expect; but honestly I didn't know what to expect. We later realised and accepted that this method was the most efficient way to allow guests (daily) to have this experience. IT'S A TRAP. Overall, this visit to Oga's Cantina was just ok. Service was also just ok. For this padawan learner, this was a one and done for me.

It's always a must do when resort hopping if you have the time.

As a tiki bar aficionado, Trader Sam's is the real deal. Besides the authentic atmosphere (with…read moreanimation, no less!), potent drinks and interesting history, the phenomenally entertaining staff bring the experience to the next level. 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.

Their vibe is dark, nautical, it matches the resorts. Everything is navy blue, its pretty dark inside, but they do have a few TVs. My wife and I prefer to come here when we stay at the Yacht Club or the Beach club but we have visited a few times just to get away from the park. We also stop here when we like to do the Yacht and Beach crawl. If you are not staying here you will need to figure out a different way to access the resort. They offer a small selection of food, mostly which are appetizers, but there are a couple of items you could order as a meal. Last time we were here we did see a few people order food to go probably back to their room. Something my wife and I always have to order is the Parker House Rolls and Spreads which has three spreads and 5 rolls. The spreads include Bacon Jam, Pub Cheese, and Citrus Butter. These are so good and actually one time we stayed we ordered these every single night, they are that good. The spreads are great on their own but even better when you mix them. I would prefer the rolls to be hot but they are still great. We also ordered the Truffle Fries served with with Roasted Shallot Mayo and the meatballs which has a porcini and parmesan cream sauce, pickled mushrooms, and chive oil. Both are really delicious and easy to share or even have both as your meal. The last thing we ordered was the flatbread. They have a seasonal flatbread which was French onion soup but we found out they also offer just a pepperoni flatbread which is not on the menu. This was a great flatbread, really cheesy, great flavor, not too heavy on the pepperoni but really good overall. For drinks I really prefer to get order off the menu and get either a dirty martini or a Manhattan. They have a full bar and can do most drinks. My wife loves their wine particularly the Dr. Loosen, Dr. L. Riesling which she finds around Disney. She also enjoys a good lemon drop martini. Overall this is a great stop, it is one of my favorite lounges. It is comfy, dark, not super loud, they have great food options and great drinks. I would say stop by when you can and check it out! ACES!

Ale and Compass Lounge is the lounge area at Disney's Yacht Club Resort. There are two areas, the…read morelounge (this one) and then Ale and Compass table service restaurant. It is directly next door. The lounge has seating at the bar, a few high top tables, and then tables partnered with couches or benches. It is really designed to be a low key, relaxing lounge. We like to come here when we stay at the resort as well as just heading over when you want some relaxation with food and drinks. They do serve a small selection of food and specialty cocktails as well as beer and wine and a fully stocked bar. I have personally tried a couple of the specialty drinks as well as just ordered off the menu. I really prefer this lounge when staying at the resort, you can head down from your room and grab dinner and drinks and then head back. If you are not staying here you will need to get over to the resort in another way. On our last visit and actually every visit, my husband and I have to get the Parker House Rolls and Spreads which has three and includes the Bacon Jam, Pub Cheese, and Citrus Butter. These also come with 5 rolls. This is such a great snack, starter, whatever you want to call it. They are so good, the spreads are each delicious on their own but even better when you pair them together. My only thing would be the spreads should be not as cold, they are hard to spread on the rolls since they are cold and the rolls are also not warm. But it is minor. We also enjoy the Truffle Fries served with with Roasted Shallot Mayo. These are a good snack, very truffle heavy but still very good. If you are looking for something more substantial then I would recommend the Seasonal Market Flatbread which will vary. But what they also dont tell you if that they have a pepperoni flatbread not listed on the menu. We ordered the pepperoni last time and it was hot, crispy, had a great cheese pull and was really good. Solid flatbread. We also ordered the meatballs which has a porcini and parmesan cream sauce, pickled mushrooms, and chive oil. These were fantastic meatballs. I really enjoyed them. It had great flavor, and came with 4 meatballs. They also serve other food items such as a burger, wings and salads. The food is great. For drinks I really prefer to get what I love which is a lemon drop martini. I also enjoy some of the wines they offer. If you want a specialty cocktail then I would recommend the Seaworthy Breeze Absolut Vodka with Grapefruit and Cranberry Juices. It was a nice cocktail, not super sweet, but more on the tart side. Overall this is a great stop. We really enjoy sitting here an relaxing with some appetizers and cocktails. You can make a meal out of the food as well if you want. No reservation required, there have a decent amount of seating. I would say stop by and check it out.
