Favorite Resort Lounge

[meremac]

I just convinced DH to come with me for the weekend when I go test out Genie+ in-person in January! We usually have our teens with us, so we're typically in the parks ALL DAY. But this time, we plan to do a little "resort lounge-hopping" too. What's your fav resort lounge? FWIW: We're not really interested in Trader Sam's, but we're open to any other recommendations!

Enchanted Rose at GF is gorgeous!

We went to Martha's Vineyard at The Beach Club the other night when we were early for a dinner reservation. It was lovely. We just had drinks, but I saw several people order a cheese board and it looked delicious.

I'm hesitant to post this, as I don't want give away our secret . For all the hype about Geyser Point at WL (which is well deserved - we love it!) a lot of people overlook Territory Lounge. We love the theming, it's rarely busy and the CM's are just wonderful (as in Disney 10 years ago wonderful). We actually prefer the drinks at Territory Lounge over the ones at Geyser Point. GP is more of a sweet, fruity vibe which really isn't our thing, but the bartenders at TL will pretty much make whatever you want if they have the ingredients and do it well. They usually have some great specialty cocktails on the paper menu that aren't listed online that are fun to try. The chardonnay fondue served with pretzel rolls and grapes is absolutely delicious, and a great small plate to share.

We are DVC members and Copper Creek is our home resort, so if we are staying at the Lodge, a perfect night in for us is drinks and fondue at TL, followed by dinner at Geyser Point - hopefully timed to see the Electrical Water Pageant.

We loved Mizner's Lounge when it was still around. I haven't been myself but many of my friends have the tradition of getting a pineapple full of alcohol at Tambu Lounge in Poly.

Did you say fondue?????? hmmmm....

Used to love Crew's Cup Lounge and it was often our first night stop for food since we usually arrived later in the day. Haven't been in a few years though and there have been some changes to the menu. Looks like they now offer really expensive dinner entrees instead of the appetizers and sandwiches/burgers that we enjoyed.

Yup this. Basically lived in Orlando for a summer due to work, went there a ton. Used to make amazing Manhattans.

I'm a big fan of the Belle Vue Lounge at the Boardwalk Inn. Quiet, classy, you can sit inside or outside on the balcony.

We love the Dahlia Lounge at Coronado. Great views of far away fireworks, drinks and cheese/charcuterie boards can easily be dinner. We also love the Sanaa Lounge. Drinks and bread service. We pretend that the fruit in some of the dips makes this a healthy meal!

Crew’s Cup at Yacht Club can order from amazing menu

Ours too. As a matter of fact we’ll be there tomorrow evening

We haven't been to a ton of lounges, but my favorite so far is Dahlia Lounge at Coronado Springs. Different drink options that you don't get everywhere, plus an amazing view.

Enchanted Rose for sure. Trader Sam’s isn’t really a lounge - Tambu is the lounge at Poly and they have great drinks and bites to eat, including the noodles from Ohana.

Crocketts tavern at the fort is our favorite. Great “moonshine” cocktails and their appetizers they have a pretty decent. With the cooler weather in January I think you’d enjoy the fort and being outdoors getting a drink from their walk up window.

If I have the kids in tow, my favorite lounge is the one closest to me.

At Wilderness Lodge we love both Geyser Point and Territory Lounge. Geyser is probably my favorite of the two mainly because its outdoors and you have the beautiful view of Bay Lake. But Territory Lounge is a great place to chill as well.

I don't see it mentioned a lot but Toppolinos has a bar and lounge area. Their food is amazing and they also have a nice outdoor space on the roof that you can enjoy

We also like the lounge at Ale and Compass. It's tucked away and very dark, in a good way that makes it feel like you are hidden away.

Most of the restaurants at the Swan and Dolphin also have lounges that we really like. Shula's and Il Mulino are a great way to sample their delicious food without having an entire meal. BlueZoo also has a very rare Disney happy hour and some really inventive drinks

If you are open to non-resort lounges Nomad Lounge in AK is one of our absolute favorites. Its a very relaxing atmosphere with really inventive (and delicious) drinks. They also have nice outdoor seating (in case you aren't sensing the theme we love to lounge outdoors)

Victoria Falls lounge at AKL is fun with all the AKL vibe.

Dahlia (Gran Destino) hands down.
Also Three Bridges at same hotel.
