Must do lounges?????

[ZebraDomeCrazy]

Hi all. Dh and I are going to be enjoying our vacation without the kids this trip. We are DVC members at AKL, but this trip are staying non-DVC at the Boardwalk Inn! We are traveling sept 5-13, so I know it will be super hot. We generally open the parks, and are looking for some cocktails by mid afternoon. What are your favorite lounges in the Boardwalk area resorts? Thanks for your advice!

Bellevue lounge in the Boardwalk is decent ..ESPN is pretty standard sports bar...Yacht and Beach club and Swan and Dolphin are also good options...all easy walking distance... I also like Rose and Crown and La cava Tequilla in EPCOT

Personally not a fan of Bellevue, I just don't find it inviting and in my experiences the service/friendliness has been mixed. BWV is our home resort when we go on a "lounge tour" we go in a couple different directions depending on the day.

1- At HS Brown Derby has a nice outdoor setting depending on weather.
2- Blue Zoo Lounge at Dolphin.
3- EPCOT- We usually go England, Mexico, possibly do a wine tasting (3 wines Italy, France, and I think Germany). You can do 1 wine at each or all 3 at one.
4- Of course just sitting at the pool is always good. We do like the pool bar at the Swan, and even enjoy the Pool Bar at beach Club that can be accessed without entering Pool area.

Our favorite Tour is the Monorail tour
Tambu Lounge or Trader Sams, Mizners Lounge, California Grill, and Top of the World.

1) Mizner's at GF is now open in the afternoon.
2) It used to open at 4:00pm.
3) But, WDW found out that folks do like to drink in the afternoon.
4) DUH !
5) This ties with Territory Lounge at WL, these as my favorite Watering Holes at WDW
5) After 4:00pm. it IS my fav, as the music makes the evening.
. . . lobby pianist
. . . mezzanine orchestra

In that area, Crew's Cup at the Yacht Club, Tutto Gusto in the Italy pavilion, and the Tune-In at the 50's Café.
