Resort Lounge Hopping...this possible?

[Gearbm95]

My group is arriving mid-day on 4/17 and we were looking to just have a chill night. We have an ADR at Grand Floridian Cafe at 5:45pm. We’re going to Uber there from Gaylord Palms.

After dinner we’re looking to do some resort bar hopping, hoping to hit up Enchanted Rose, CA Grill Lounge, Dahlia Lounge, and Capa (Four Seasons).

How difficult is it to get a drink at Enchanted, CA Grill, and Dahlia on a Saturday night between 7-9p? Can you just grab a drink at the bar and sit yourself at these lounges?

I know we won’t be able to Uber to CSR for Dahlia bc were not guests there , but could we grab a bus from MK? Also, are we able to take the monorail over to Contemporary from GF if were non-guests?

Thanks for the help!

You can certainly use Disney transportation to go from resort to resort and you could Uber there also because you are going to the lounge/restaurant.

Enchanted Rose is pretty large with several seating areas, so you should be fine. It could change by the time of your trip, but the lounge space at California Grill is currently being used for regular dining to spread the tables out. They do have some very limited bar seating. But, Outer Rim is open if you still wanted to visit the Contemporary. Haven't been to Dahlia or Capa since reopening, so no advice there.

Using Disney transport will not be an issue. Uber to CSR may or may not be an issue. Some people have reported being allowed into resorts with no ADR to go to a lounge or QS restaurant, others have been turned away.

Yeah, I was going to say - I’ve read more reports of CSR being friendlier about no ADR drop offs than other resorts. CSR is a little different than most places given that what is open is pretty much only lounge or no-ADR dining destinations. And it also isn’t walkable to a theme park so doesn’t get the same scrutiny as others. YMMV of course!
