Adults Trip - End of April

[JJ2017]

Itinerary is coming together for our end of April adult weekend trip.

Staying at Dolphin

Friday - land close to midnight, so late arrival at Dolphin.

Saturday is our one park day. We will have 1 day park hoppers. AK has 8 am EMH (not sure if we will make it), nor not sure if we will get FP for FoP. We will not race there earlier to try to get on it since we (husband and kids) rode it in November (I get bad motion sickness). Anyway, we want to go back to AK just to enjoy and we want to have lunch at Satuli.

Husband's goal is to get a drink at each park - AK, HS, EP (end at Epcot WS).

Advice for his goal?

Is our only alcohol option at HS at the taphouse (blanking on name) or Hollywood Brown Derby? Do you think Toy Story will be closed?

Sunday is resort day and Omakase at Morimoto.

I'm trying to convince him to finally do an official DVC tour since the kids won't be with us, but it's his actual birthday this day and not sure he will go for it. I'm thinking we can go right before dinner since it's close to DS, right?

Anyway - if anyone has any thoughts on how to enhance this itinerary, let me know! One thing that I want to accomplish is "refreshing" for same day FPs to see what we can get.

Thanks!

Hollywood Scoops has a Hard Rootbeer Float. Not sure if your DH would consider that "drinking" but it's quite tasty and calms the shakes after a traumatizing ride on ToT.
There are plenty of QS locations at HS that serve alcohol in some form. Just to name a few; Rosie's All-American Café, PizzeRizzo, Fairfax Fare, Dockside Diner.

My advise would be to plan out which places you plan to eat/drink in each park and stick to QS or drink windows for your DH's drink in eat park.

There is a full bar in 50s Prime Time, it's often crowded but you can get drinks to go from it. HBD has the outside lounge that is walk up as well. We think the best place to get a drink at AK is Nomad Lounge, we love it. Spice Road Tables at Morocco in WS in Epcot has a good bar and you can sit outside and have a small plate of something to eat as well. I think you can now get drinks at Skipper's Canteen at MK but not sure. You could always hop over to one of the monorail resorts from MK and go to any of their bars (I would suggest riding the boat to do it, the monorail isn't always the best bet).

Oh and forgot to say, F&G will be happening at Epcot and there will be drinks at the booths.

Totally doable!

AK- beer at Satuli Canteen. Smokey Bones Chocolate shake at Trilo Bites (bourbon). Nomads Lounge
Epcot- everywhere. Flower and Garden will be going on.
MK- Skippers Canteen has beer and wine
HS- taphouse, Brown Derby Lounge, drink stands all over.

Brown Derby has a win so good I went to my local store and bought a bottle ( ok I have bought a few since I had my first glass there,) and try to have a glass whenever I can.
