The Nomad Lounge next to Tiffins at Animal Kingdom is an elegant, shaded water view place to sit in big cushioned wicker chairs and sofas and sample cocktails, wine, and beer cheaper than in the most of the counter service places. They have a small but interesting bar food menu (the wings and ribs are really delicious). Once Avatar land opens that might change, because the Nomad Lounge is located at the end of a path that currently goes to nowhere, but will be right on the main drag when Pandora opens. There is an indoor portion of the bar, as well. Spend $1 to create your own artistic adventure hang tag that will be added to the collection in the ceiling. It has been a quiet respite in the past, although today there were a couple families who squeezed in with huge strollers and let their kids squeal and jump around the cushions, so the peaceful ambiance and eclectic music soundtrack was pretty well ruined. Disney allows kids in bars, and although I avoided taking my kids to bars when they were little, there's no rule against it. Parents probably need the drinks more than anybody, but although we love kids, we just opt to come back later if it looks more like preschool than an adult lounge. This place is worth finding.
