Best Lounges?

[xlauren13x]

So I have a trip in October and we are getting to Disney on a Monday, but we are driving and won't be going to a park that day since we won't be getting until sometime between 2-4. So we were thinking of resort hopping and getting food and then going to one of the lounges. What's some of the best ones?

Territory Lounge @ The Wilderness Lodge
The bar at The Wave @ The Contemporary (you can order from the full menu)
Trader Sam's @ The Polynesian (it is just plain fun!)

Oh boy, this is my dream! On a recent trip, we went drinking around the monorail and that is an experience I can't recommend enough! My recommendation for this is:
-Start at the Grand Floridian. You can grab food from drinks/food from Citricos' lounge or Mizner's lounge as well as drinks. I would say to start here because it's my least favorite.
-Head to the Contemporary. You can see if they can seat you at California Grill's lounge, where you can also order from the menu too! If not, do what we did and head to The Wave lounge, where you get colorful and yummy drinks.
-End at the Polynesian at Tambu Lounge outside Ohana. Do yourself a favor: order the backscratcher or the Lapu Lapu, get the nachos, finish with the bread pudding. Literally my favorite meal in Disneyworld. (Plus, you could wait to drive again until after seeing the fireworks from the beach.)

If you wind up having time at Animal Kingdom at some point, treat yourself to the Nomad Lounge. It's my favorite lounge in the world! Get Jenn's Tattoo.

Have fun!

Thank you for all the tips! We were thinking of checking out the resorts on the monorail loop anyways and was thinking of trying to find a lounge around there and see the halloween fireworks from one of the resorts. And we are going to animal kingdom on thursday before the halloween party.
