Lots of talk of Drinking Around the World @EPCOT...anybody drink (or eat) around the Monorail (Contemporary, Polynesian and Grand Floridian?!?!?!) Where should we start/end??? I know that there are more than one bar at each resort...which ones should we hit? Specialty drinks we shouldn't miss?!?! :cutie: :cutie:

me and my mom did this one night when we were on a trip together last august. it was raining so we called it an early night from the parks, and since we were staying at the poly, we decided to drink around the monorail. we started at the GF and ended at the poly. we thought Mizner's was nice, since they gave us nuts to snack on with our drinks. i don't remember what drinks we got where, but it was right after the "standardized" drink menus had started, so the only place we could really get something "special" was a lapu lapu or backscratcher type stuff at the poly. we had a great time doing this!

Sounds like a perfect post game to drinking around the world especially if one is staying at a monorail resort or even taking the buses.

Dh and I did this last year on our 25th anniversary trip in September. We started at the Contemporary (watched all of the families entering CHef Mickeys), then went to Poly (watched everyone who was going to MNSSHP), and ended the night at GF. At the GF lounge a couple even got engaged. WE had a great time.

Oh yes...we did a monorail drinkathon in December at a DVCer meet....had about 10 of us. Started at the contemporary where they made a drink named after me! Then onto the Poly with some lavalava drink (can't remember the name, but it came in a pineapple) . Then to the GF where they weren't overly accommodating as they made us wait for a half hour before the bar opened. We opted for drinking out at the pool bar just before it closed.

Great fun! Use your Disney Dining card if you have one!

This is a great idea. I've thought about doing it before. Now that I know that Boardwalk doesn't have entertainment on Tuesday nights, maybe we'll do this instead our first night there.

No, sorry. I have no idea about the hours of Jellyrolls. I was talking about the buskers and other free entertainment. According to Steve Soares' site, they are only there Thursday to Saturday.

Jellyrolls shall never close! :scared1:

That said, drinking (and snacking!) around the monorail does sound like fun. But I must say, nothing beats sitting at the Dawa Bar on a cold January day sipping a Gingersnap, and watching the world go by... :flower3:

That would be good to know! Maybe someone could draw up some directions for doing the monorail pub crawl easily.

I just posted information from the dining section for the Contemporary, Polynesian and Grand Floridian regarding their bars. They also state where they are located. I don't know if the restaurants have bars or not but this is a start for those of you wanting to drink around the monorail. We have this planned for our trip in September too!

We started doing this a few years ago. In fact this will be the 3rd official Monorail-Drink-A-Thon on September 26th. We usually lose a couple of people each year but then get new ones. The 1st year we started with the AK bar (I know, not officially a Monorail bar) and then we went to the Contempoary, the GF and ended at the Poly and everyone went to the Adventurers Club to finish the night. We were even given the title of LOTW (Lushes of the World)!! Anyone care to join us this year? If not, start your own, it's fun. Just be sure to let the server know you want separate checks right up front, they're okay with that. We even rearrange the chairs so we can all sit together. It's great fun!!:drinking1 :drinking1 :drinking1 :drinking1

Scroll back through the thread and you'll find the answer to your question.
OK heres the plan, in no particular order:

Polynesian: Tambu (2nd floor) or Barefoot Pool Bar
Grand Floridian: Mizner's (2nd floor) or pool bar (name?)
Contemporary: Wave bar??????????? (location/menu?)

Does the monorail leave you off on the 2nd floor of each resort?
Any particular drink @GF or Contemporary we should try? Lots of yummy tropical drinks available @Poly...thought I might try something more sophisticated @GF or Contemporary! :snooty:

California Grille is the best place to start drinking around the monorail (dress nicely), then GF where we really loved the bar and really hated the people at the bar (weird /AP/ townies/ scary), finally the poly, because nothing finishes off a night like drinking something served in hollowed out fruit!


Overall it was fun, I hope you have a good time!
