Resort Hopping Day Favorites

[riddlemethis]

Alright y'all, hey!

I am bringing my adult friends down for a food and beverage vacation at the end of June. We're hitting up 1 day in the parks (Epcot, for obvious reasons) and 1 day resort hopping. We're staying at the Dolphin.

Definitely gotta grab a Dole Whip at Poly, trying my hardest to find ANY Sanaa reservation, and also maybe Beaches and Cream. I want to take them on the boat ride to BWL, and was thinking of also checking out the gondolas? (Are these fun to ride in for the fun of it?)

What are your other favorite spots? Poolside bars, lounges, shopping, and quick food stops - all are welcome!

If you go to the poly, work your way around the 7 seas lagoon. Take the boat from MK to Wilderness lodge to enjoy food and drinks at Geyser Point.

We love riding the skyliner. Catch it from Epcot and ride all the way to pop. I would get off and see riveria. It is a beautiful resort with a great counter service.

One thing to be aware of is your arrival method at the resorts. If you are driving your own vehicle or using a ride share service (Uber/Lyft for example) the security personnel are asking to see a valid ADR or reservation before letting people enter the resort. Some reports are a mobile order sometimes will work and sometimes won’t, depending on the security person. If you are arriving by Disney transport you should be fine. Have a great time!

If you can't get a reservation at Sanaa, keep in mind you can get it as take-away now! We did that with the bread service one evening - went over to watch animals around sunset, got bread service to-go, and took it back to our hotel room for dinner.

I've only ever checked out the pool at the lodge - great idea

Yep It would be Disney transport, likely resorts on the skyliner/boat/monorail tracks unless we can SOMEHOW get a Sanaa reservation

That's a great idea! Would there be any places on the resort property to eat the food? I really want to take them there for the experience. Who knows, maybe when we go we will get lucky and find a spot at the bar in the lounge.

Have you tried mobile order for just a drink ? At a resort.
