You can access it near the water. You cannot easily park at the resort to come over however, you can walk over from EPCOT or take the Skyliner from Studios. This location has both a quick service side with food and drinks to go as well as a full bar with seats and ability to also order food to go. If you are staying at the resorts and sitting by the pool, they also offer a server who walks around and takes your order. Their menu is pretty good, there are a lot of options for varying likes and dislikes. Their menu includes selections of sandwiches, a burger, seafood roll, chicken tenders, salads and loaded crab fries. I was actually impressed with the menu. They also offered one of the special tossed chicken tenders that Disney announced awhile ago. My wife and I stayed at the resort so we first ordered from the bar then ended up ordering from the server as we sat around the pool. To start we ordered the "Hanna's Bacon Angus Cheeseburger" which was a classic burger served on a Brioche Bun and came with French Fries. This was the classic Disney burger, if you have had one, then this was it. The bun was really nice being a brioche bun, the burger was cooked more well done but it was still really good and topped with cheese and bacon. It actually was great for sitting by the pool. It is by far not my favorite burger at Disney but by the pool, it was just right! We also ended up ordering the buffalo ranch chicken strips. These were also served with fries and were so crispy and really good. My wife and I are both buffalo fans and even though I am not a ranch person, the ratio was really good and it made these tender delicious. It was so much better than just a plain dry tender. I do hope Disney keeps these special coated chicken tenders around property! I stuck with beer while at the pool, I felt it fit better but wife did try a cocktail. She ordered the "Banana Cabana" which she has had at other pool bars in Disney. It has Cruzan Mango Rum, Parrot Bay Coconut Rum, Bols Crème de Banana, Orange Juice and Pineapple Juice with a float of Grenadine. She enjoys it, it's a great summer/pool/beach cocktail. Overall this is a actually a really nice pool bar. I can see my wife and I coming here in the summer when we want to get away from the park for a quick lunch. Its so hot in the summer and the bar is covered, in the shade and has fans. This was a great spot. I would highly recommend checking them out. ACES!

I checked the hours online before I walked over. It said it opened at 10 and I got there around 12, and it was closed. No signs, no employees, nothing. There was a courtesy phone on the wall, which nobody answered. I finally found an employee, who said she thinks they're opening late today because it's cold. It was a little frustrating because there was no sign or anything, and I only had a limited amount of time for lunch. When they finally did open, I got the southern crunch quesadilla, which sounded good because you don't see a quesadilla with fried chicken often. It was really good! You order at the counter and they give you a pager for when your food is ready. Overall I liked the food and you can't beat the atmosphere. I just wish it was more reliable.

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!

My husband & I recently became Orlando locals and got our passes. On our first visit to EPCOT I let him plan the day since he has had way less time at the parks than I have had in my lifetime. He chose this-I initially was not thrilled. I will say, we had a far more pleasant experience than I anticipated. The staff is really friendly. I lived in England for a time many years ago so the England pavilion is really interesting for me when it comes to speaking with the CM's. Our server could not have been more friendly or interesting. The three of us had a long chat about America vs the UK and his experience thus far. It was his 6th day serving at the restaurant-the spend mi the on his program in other told before getting to that point and you have never known. Food was great. HUGE portions. Consider sharing. It's a great option for family's who may have picky edgers as British food is pretty palatable. Be aware, if you are visiting during the warm weather months & are hoping for a seat indoors in the AC, go in advance (when you arrive) and request that so they will use ample time to try to sort that out for your party. If you are seated on the patio, there are no fans and no AC. While there may be a breeze from the lake, if there's no wind, there is no breeze. If it rains they pull down the roll up walls (a thick plastic) and will keep them down for a while after wards-trapping humidity & heat inside. Highly recommend splitting the fish & chips-it's massive. The chips are excellent. There aren't a ton of menu options carp warning. While it's not my favorite location in Epcot I was pleasantly surprised and would go back without hesitation.

Although I didn't eat a full meal here on this trip, just a drink, the atmosphere of Rose & Crown is well worth a visit. The restaurant feels like a traditional English Pub, you can instantly imagine sitting back and staying awhile. Between the themed décor, the energy inside, and the location in the UK Pavilion, it felt like a great place to relax and enjoy the afternoon! After a busy race and plenty of walking around World Showcase, it was nice to find a spot that felt a little slower paced. I grabbed a drink, took in the atmosphere, and enjoyed a break from the crowds for a bit. I learned while visiting is that Rose & Crown also offers a dining package that includes reserved viewing for Epcot's nighttime fireworks. I didn't take advantage of it this trip, but it's definitely something I'd consider on a future visit. Rose & Crown is one of those places that just feels welcoming. Whether you're stopping in for a drink, or simply a break during your day at Epcot, the atmosphere alone makes it worth a visit! It was a great addition to an already fun Flower & Garden Festival day!

Look, it's expensive--but it's absolutely worth it. The drinks are unique, packed with flavor, and…read moresurprisingly strong. You're definitely getting what you pay for. We arrived hungry and decided to try several food options, and I have no complaints. Everything was beautifully plated, tasted fresh, and was full of flavor. The dishes also paired wonderfully with our drinks. Reservations are highly recommended, and window seats can be difficult to get. That said, I loved the interior décor. Disney did an excellent job designing the space--it feels like an upscale, contemporary version of Epcot. This may be my favorite lounge on Disney property. We visited at night during a red moon. After my second drink, I felt the spirit of Walt Disney speaking to me. He recommended another drink and suggested mixing some honey and mustard with a piece of bread, then layering it with prosciutto, mozzarella, and a black olive. It completely blew my mind. He then recommended another drink, and for a brief moment, I found myself standing with Walt on top of Spaceship Earth. He put his arm around my shoulder, leaned in, and asked if I happened to have the time. It was a moment I'll never forget. Either that, or the drinks were stronger than advertised.

We were seated along the back wall with a booth and chair. Our server Miguel came over right away to greet us and drop off some waters. The inside is beautiful with lots of nods to Spaceship earth and some pretty cool views of the park. We were there for lunch and just enjoyed each others company. They have some small plates and we tried the charcuterie board, mushroom flatbread, and ham croquettes. All were good in their own way and I would order each of them again if we head back. There were a lot of drinks with a variety of liquors for different folks. They also have a full bar, so if you don't see it on the menu ask - I did and got an expresso martini which was delicious. We really enjoyed our food and drinks, but we felt that the chairs were a little uncomfortable. They felt too high or the table too low to be comfortable. It is a higher price point, which we do not mind, but it is not going to be something we are alwasy going to do (especially since we can't always come without the kids). It ended up a great date day at the park.

The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge is located at Disney's Hollywood Studios. This is modeled after…read morethe class Brown Derby from California. It is one of the original locations of this park. There are actually three options, the actual table service restaurant located inside, the walk up bar outside and then the lounge. This review is for the lounge, which is much smaller and located outside the restaurant. The lounge seating is only outside, you also do not need a reservation, they do not take them, you have to add your name to the walk up list or walk up to the location and speak with a cast member. This is one of my wife's and I favorite place to sit, relax, grab a cocktail and some food. We love this spot but it can get very warm in the summer. They have high top tables and a couple of regular tables, with most of the tables having an umbrella. On busy days, we might have to wait over an hour but for the most part, we usually do not have to wait for a long time. Our last visit we waited a solid hour, which is what we were quoted on the app. But if you do add your name to the list on the app, you can walk around. You get a text 15 minutes before they are ready to seat you. You can also order from the regular menu, there is not a special lounge menu. They used to have 1 item not listed that you could only order at the lounge but it is gone. Their menu has recently changed as well. For drinks I usually get either a Manhattan or the martini flight. This is a trio of martinis and its delicious. Their drinks are very good here since there is an actual bar. My wife loves the margarita flight, which is also a trio of margaritas. The other classic drink here is the grapefruit martini. Its very sweet but tart at the same time, and it has a graham cracker crust but only inside. For some reason the lounge outside cannot add the graham cracker crust but it is needed! Food wise, one of the most classic Brown Derby food item is the Cobb Salad. It is a chopped cobb filled with Spit-roasted Turkey, Bacon, Egg, Tomatoes, Blue Cheese, Avocado, Classic Dressing. We also tried something different and added chicken to it. It was a great touch and we love sharing it. My wife and I frequently will share this salad since it is very large. We also tried one of the sides which is labeled enhancements. We did not like the appetizers since the menu has changed. We ordered the Au Gratin Potato with Black Diamond Cheddar. This was topped with a crumb coating was really great. It was very rich and cheesy. Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot. We love it, it's a place we will head to as often as we can. We have even found ourselves going over just for dinner after work. Perks of living local. I would add this to your list if you are looking for a great meal, great snacks or fantastic drinks. ACES!
