    This was a strip of seating inside and outside type of lounge/ bar area. I arrived around 8pm on a Friday night, and it was very full with couples, families, and friend outings. We found a seat inside for drinks before dinner... service was a little slow (about 15-20minutes for our drinks) but she was very kind. The drinks were delicious! Very refreshing, good ingredients, made strong. I'd definitely return for the view, drinks, and to try the food.

    We absolutely loved the service, view, and atmosphere here! I know it's meant to be a lounge. I'm sure the cocktails are very good here. It was the tapas that left a lot to be desired. We selected it for a light dinner based on all the great reviews. Unfortunately, the food was "no muy bueno." Shrimp Pil Pil - I appreciated the size of the shrimp. The sauce had a bitter taste that we couldn't discern. It just wasn't even close to being authentic. Dahlia Sliders - They were presented well. The burger itself had this fake charcoal taste. The burger buns were perfectly toasted. The toppings had mixed reviews between us. The patatas bravas served with the sliders were just french fries with a drizzle of sauce on them. The sauce wasn't smoky, nor spicy. It was filling. We will go back one day when the menu changes, or just for drinks. It really has a beautiful view. The food was just not what we were expecting.

    I love this lounge. The drinks are quite good and the food is quite good as well. It has great views of walt Disney world and makes for a beautiful setting to enjoy some cocktails with some friends. The service is always good as you would expect from Disney. It is a tad bit expensive to frequent but would highly recommend for a special occasion

    If you are looking for a romantic area for a significant other this would be the place but choose the rooftop. I met friends here to have drinks and watch the fireworks. The bar menu is pretty versatile and the staff is pretty on top of things.

    Dahlia Lounge is on the 15th floor at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, in the Grand Destino Tower. The view is my favorite across all property. MY wife and I love this place and try and frequent as much as possible. Parking is hit or miss with security and not having a reservation. Later in the evening, we usually don't have much issue with security when we let them know we are going to Dahlia Lounge, but if they stop you, you will have to take an Uber, park at a theme park/ Disney Springs and take a bus over. We have sadly not been here in a few months but came over last weekend to some sad news. Some of our favorite items on the menu have been removed or changed. My wife asked the server why they were removed, and she did not know either. One of the items we used to love was the toasted baguette with Manchego cheese and serrano ham, literally my favorite sandwich ever! They also changed the flavor and texture of their wings. They used to be a crispy fried wing that was full of breading and had the most delicious sauce. Now their wings are nonbreaded with a sweet and spicy honey sherry glaze. I personally did not mind them, they were not my favorite wing sauce, but it was ok, I would get them again. However, my wife absolutely hated them, she did not like the flavor, and it did not sit well with her. Disney if you are listening, bring the sandwich back and the old wings, please! Something new though on the menu, however, were their churros. These came with 3 larger churros, which were light, airy and crunchy. They also came with a chocolate dipping sauce. These were really good; I am not a sweet fan, but these were good. I only had a small piece, but I enjoyed it. My wife however, absolutely loved these and said she would order them over and over. I also noticed that had new croquettes and sliders, which we will be trying next time we visit. Their drinks are pretty standard for a Disney bar, they have wine and beer as well as a full bar. They do have a few specialty drink options, including a favorite cocktail of mine- Create-Your-Own Old Fashioned. For this we got to choose from five (5) Whiskeys, five (5) Simple Syrups, and five (5) Bitters, however, they were out of a couple of the bitters. A friend of ours also ordered it as well. We both enjoyed it and made a good combination, but I feel the portion was way too small for the price. My wife ordered the Espresso Martini. Theirs had Stoli Vanil Vodka, Bols Crème de Cacao White Liqueuer, Simple Syrup, and Espresso. Espresso Martinis are one of her favorites and she really loved it. I actually ordered one as well and I agree, very good! All in all, this is one of my favorite bars. If you grab a table outside, don' leave all night. You can watch fireworks from here, you can sit and relax on the couch style seating, and you can enjoy the beautiful breeze. I really enjoy this lounge and will for sure be coming back. You should totally check it out. Aces!

    The boujee bar on the 15th floor outside of the restaurant Toledo (best steaks ever there!). I say boujee but people were dressed in all sorts of casual clothing. It just looks boujee. The place was packed already but we were able to get a couch seat. Seating outside on the overlook was all taken and the "fireworks" were about to take place at Hollywood Studios. Luckily some bar seating opened up not long after we got our drinks so our server helped us move there. I originally was not going to eat but half way through a glass of wine I decided that I wanted something. I ordered the Tapas Trio (Octopus Ceviche, 'Aceitunas' Marinated Olives, Tomato Spread with Grilled Bread). The best item to me on the board was, you guessed it...the octopus. I haven't had it in ceviche form but I was doing a little happy dance in my bar chair. Sitting there I was getting hypnotized by the Roy Disney/Salvador Dali animation that was on loop on the tv. It's weird but intriguing. Then someone requested the NCAA basketball tourney on the bigger tvs so I snapped out of it. Definitely a nice place to hang out.

    Staff is very welcoming. They offer indoor and outdoor seating as well as a bar to seating. Many come here to enjoy fireworks. Nice quiet bar for those trying to relax and have a drink or a small bite. Create Your Own Old Fashioned- 10/10 They had many options to create your own concoction. I had our bartender Carlos take the wheel and surprise me. He prepared a great old fashioned and all I chose were the bitters. Calamari- 7/10 Fried to perfection just needs some type of seasoning in the batter or on the calamari once it comes out of the fryer. The sauces are where all the flavor is at.

    Very beautiful open lounge with the friendliest bartenders! I walked in right at 5 and was their first customer of the day. We stayed at the tower so it was a no brainer that I had to drop by and check out the scenery. My little one and husband were exhausted from a day at the pool so while they napped in the room, I snuck up to takeout some food for dinner and grab a drink. Their espresso martini was poured and tasted to perfection. I had a nice little chat with one bartender who told me a few fun facts about the bar and the parts of the Disney parks I can spot from the balcony outside. Great service all around even from just my 10 minutes at the bar. I read great reviews about the ham and cheese sandwich so I was so excited to try this... i left a bit disappointed since I felt like this was simply charcuterie packaged inside a baguette. The components were yummy with the prosciutto and brie, but there wasn't a spread or anything super special about it... made for a good snack tho! The wings were delicious and had a hint of citrus/lemon as an aftertaste. It was super saucy and crunchy. I would order this one again.

    Ponche de Fruta (non-alcoholic) delicious and refreshing.

    Nice ambiance. No dress code...most people are theme park goers so you'll see a lot of shorts and t-shirts. Although if there's a convention in town, you'll definitely be able to differentiate who are the business people. There are both indoor and outdoor seating. No reservations, every seat is first come first serve. The outside view is gorgeous as you can overlook parts of Epcot and Hollywood Studios. Even if you may not be able to score an outdoor seat, you can see roam outside to check out the view. Small tapas menu. But extensive beverage list..wine, beers, cocktails and a few non alcoholic beverages too. Really enjoyed the jalapeño croquettes. It's not a burn-your-tongue spicy but there's def some spice flavoring to it. Comes with four pieces so it's perfect to share but still a good portion to have all to yourself.

    Dahlia Lounge is located at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort. It is on the 15th floor of the main tower. The view itself should make you want to run here! This is another favorite of ours, which we try and frequent as much as possible. Parking is hit or miss. Later in the evening, we usually don't have much issue with security when we let them know we are going to Dahlia Lounge. If they will not let you in, you will have to take an Uber, park at a theme park or Disney Springs and take a bus over. We came here recently again and were actually really sad. They have changed their menu. They have actually removed items from the previous menu which were amazing and one of our favorites. They were also really popular, so I don't really know why they were removed. I actually asked the server, and she did not know either. One of those items was the toasted baguette with Manchego cheese and serrano ham. This was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had and will completely miss it! They also changed their wings. Their wings used to be almost a Japanese Crispy Fried Wings with the most delicious sauce. They have changed it to a nonbreaded wing with a sweet and spicy honey sherry glaze. I absolutely hated these, the flavor was terrible, and they did not sit well with me. However, my husband really enjoyed them, thoughts they were good and said he would order them again. Disney if you are listening, bring the sandwich back and the old wings, please! Something new though on the menu were their churros. These came with 3 larger churros, which were light, airy and crunchy. They also came with a chocolate dipping sauce. These were fantastic and luckily no one else in the group wanted any so perfect, more for me! I would order these again for sure. I also noticed that had new croquettes and sliders, which we will have to try next time. Their drinks are pretty standard, they have wine and beer as well as a full bar. They do have a few specialty drink options, including a favorite cocktail of mine- Espresso Martini. Theirs had Stoli Vanil Vodka, Bols Crème de Cacao White Liqueuer, Simple Syrup, and Espresso.

    Let's get a cocktail at 8:30 and go stand out on the balcony to watch the Fireworks. That's what you got here. You see the end of park shows from the parks and no hassle of crowds. Just a nice, expensive, cocktail. The balcony is nice as well, seating for those that come first. Overall, this is a gem to have a drink and watch the fireworks show from a distance. Unlike some other resorts, this one's audio is not directly tied in though.

    Went there for a quick drink while waiting for our reservation at Toledo. The CM's there were friendly. The view is freaking awesome. Only downside it was windy but they can't control that at all. Quick service and drink was good. I would go there again.

    We had reservations at toledo so we went here for a pre dinner drink on valentines day. The specialty cocktails were delicious. The drinks took a while to come out so we got the chance to enjoy the ambiance. It is open seating so you don't have to wait for a hostess but you may have to order at the bar and stand with it.

    Enjoying the lounge!

Overhead was a magnificent chandelier framed by sculpted columns which brought to mind a glistening Spanish sunrise or sunset.

    Great Food Our Waitress May Have Entered Witness Protection…read more We visited Rix Sports Bar & Grill with our family of six, and I have to start with the most important part: the food was AMAZING! The wings, Watchos, sandwiches, Bam Bam Chicken, and desserts were all delicious. The portions were generous, everything came out looking great, and nobody left hungry. Those desserts definitely finished us off! Now, the service Our waitress was very friendly when we actually got a chance to see her. We're not sure if she had too many tables, got traded to another team at halftime, or temporarily entered the Witness Protection Program, but she disappeared for some pretty long stretches. We managed to get one refill during the meal. At one point I almost choked on my food and started wondering if I should drink the ranch dressing to survive. With six people at the table, checking on drinks a little more often would have made a big difference. I completely understand that restaurants get busy and servers sometimes get overloaded, so I'm not trying to beat anyone up over it. But the service definitely needs a little more attention. Food: 5/5 Service: 3/5 Overall: 4/5

It's not that it was BAD, it just wasn't good enough to go again and spend the time and money. Onward.... I heard that this place had breakfast to die for, as it was the only place you could get "stuffed chicken and mickey waffles!" Firstly, the "stuffed" adjective turned out to be false, and the regular ass mickey waffles and chicken was just that.....regular as hell. Actually, it was super, DUPER sweet, as the mickey waffles came covered in cinnamon sugar, with some run of the mill chicken fingers thrown on top. It was ok, but not worth the $20something it cost. The Little Ones Mickey pancakes were actually a disappointment as, I swear to god I'm not exaggerating, I get better Mickey shaped pancakes from our local NJ diner. The Mickey pancake I got AT DISNEY WORLD paled in comparison; you do the math on that one. Just sad.....I would've thought they had like Mickey templates to send out picture perfect Mickey shaped food, instead of the sad, misshapen pancake that actually made it out. Meh. The Misses omelet was nothing to write home about either. The server was great but the dining room itself is a little on the smaller side, and they had a habit of sitting all parties RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER, even though there were empty tables spaced out to give a little more room and privacy. We didn't like that they sat us right on top of another family that was already there, then sat the next family right next to us, when there were at least 6 other tables spaced out in the dining room. Any who, after the, not BAD but disappointing meal, I cancelled the next reservation and just decided to try our luck some place else. Rix looks nice, and is technically a sports bar, so maybe they shine better in that light, but as a family dining spot it just didn't impress.

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.

If you are not wanting to dine at the resort, you can take a bus or monorail from Magic Kingdom. It has been a while since I did a review and we have been here quite a few times over the last year. I felt it was time to update. I have a love hate with this place, I used to love it, then we had some negative experiences however, the last few visits have been great. They now open early at 11am which is really great as it gets so busy! We love to stop here when doing a monorail crawl but also recently took my mom and dad here. You need to add your name to the list and your wait can be different all the time. It really depends on how many names are on the list. I will say that larger groups tend to wait much longer. If you are a smaller group such as 2, and are seated at a table for 4, just know that they will seat you with others. MY biggest issue with this place is I believe it should have a time limit. It is incredibly small inside and we have waited over 3 hours to go in. I just feel if Beak and Barrell at Magic and Oga's at Studios has a time limit, they need one here. Maybe bump it to 60 minutes. The problem comes with that there is so much to see and interactions happening with drinks being ordered that you could literally sit in there for hours and order 1 drink. We have had many drinks on the menu including wine and beer. I am not in love with all their drinks, they are very rum heavy and can be very sweet and full of juice, however there are some good ones. I have also tried just wine which is also fine. My husband frequently orders the beer flight which includes 3 different types of Kona beer. Some of my favorite cocktails are the Rosita's Margarita, which is Casamigos reposado tequila, bols orange curacao liqueur, fresh lime juice, falernum and organic agave nectar. It is really good but can be sour if not made correct. Don't be afraid if that happens to ask them to add a little extra sweetener. I also enjoy the Mosquito Mojito which has Bacardi Dragonberry Rum, Organic Agave Nectar, Falernum, Mint, and Fresh Lime Juice topped with Soda Water. It is a classic mojito but can also end up being sour. I usually ask for a little extra nectar. They also serve food. We love the food here and they have actually updated their menu recently. Our favorite item is the Thai Chicken Flatbread with bacon and peanut sauce which is delicious and the Pan-Fried Dumplings. They have a new Shrimp and Plantain Roll which looks great and we will be trying it next time. Some of their drinks come with an interactive experience including the Uh-Oa, the Nautilus, the Hippopoto Mai-Tai and the Krakatoa Punch. And anyone who orders it, gets to sort of take part in the interactive experience. The whole lounge has effects. Would I recommend this yes. I am torn if this is a 4 or a 3. The wait is ridiculous at times, but it is really fun. I prefer the table seats as opposed to the bar or high tops personally and you cannot really ask to sit somewhere. I do think this needs to be expanded. Outside they have a different version or Trader Sam's, same menu no interactivities. They need to take that over and make this lounge much much larger. I would say check it out if you can get it or dont mind waiting. Put your name on the list and go to a different bar and wait!

    Great location in the Yacht Club lobby, we visit here on all of our YC stays…read more During our most recent visit, service was disappointing. We were seated for 10+ minutes with no greeting and when a waiter finally appeared he ignored us and went to a different table that was seated after us. We were trying to get a drink and app before our room was ready but thankfully after the miss in service, I got a text that our room was ready so we just left. Anyway, usually good place to get a drink but maybe next time we will just sit at the bar.

    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.
