    Bartender did not know how to make a rum runner and when told how to, he still made it wrong. Food was not bad, had to send boneless wings back because they were frozen in the middle. But other than those two issues, everything was above average. We had wings, loaded fries, nachos, jalapeño poppers, buffalo chicken dip and many other cocktails that were very tasty.

    Here's the Scoop: This is one of the poolside bars at the resort. They have an extensive menu for a bar and serve fabulous drinks and have bartender creations. Enjoyed have a drink and or meal poolside here. Salads very fresh and big portions. Burgers huge, fish & chips delicious! Nice seating and cooling fans overhead. Great because poolside can get hot if you're not in the pool. Service very quick, friendly and accommodating. Drinks are full bodied and tasty. This bar definitely adds to the comfort of the Resort. It was great for us too because our building was directly across the parking lot. We had great location to all of the amenities. This Resort is 64 acres and we were situated just right. Oh yeah such a fabulous time!

    A nice simple pool bar at the resort. Full bar with 6 beers on draft and 14 varieties of canned beer (pool bar-no glass). Pool bar menu (see attached pics for menu); not made on site; orders brought over from next door kitchen. Wings were good and spicy. Onion rings a little overdone. Would I come back - oh yeah!! It's next to the pool. We love Cheryl our bartender!!

    Beer tabs!

    We had an event at Crush Yard last week and the service was amazing. In particular, Alana Martinez…read morewas extremely responsive as the liaison and handled the whole night, making sure everything went well. Prior to the event we had special menu restrictions due to vegetarian and vegan attendees and she made accommodations with the menu and the prices were very fair. We had over 100 people show up and she had all the food ready and waiting when people arrived and even brought out more food when we went through the allotted amount. The bills were updated online live, and she was extremely responsive with excellent communication and reliable billing. I wanted to also give a huge shout out to Christopher, who is the lead chef and produced absolutely delicious food. Everybody was impressed with the quality of the food - especially the sliders. I thought the honey chicken sliders were amazingly delicious. The whole night turned out perfectly. This was a great event and we will definitely consider using Crush Yard in the future when we have our baseball spring break trips. Everything about it was well managed, and the facilities are fantastic. Thank you Crush Yard!!

    I had a good time at Crush Yard. I came here for a singles mixer…read more I love that it's air-conditioned so I didn't die of exhaustion. They had me sign a waiver since I'd never played before. It would have been nice to get a sheet explaining the rules. Thankfully some of the people in our group already knew. I just looked for anyone who had their own paddle. I didn't get to try any of the food, but I will if I ever come back.

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.

    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.
