Talk to me about Raglan Road

[mshanson3121]

I see that they have live music and dancing, and will invite the kids up on stage? Is that an ongoing thing all evening? So if we had say a 6:30 reservation at some point my kids could participate? We love live music, including Iris, and my kids love to dance, so they would be thrilled to do this.

I love the food, the beer, the music and the dancing, but I’ve never seen kids invited to participate, and TBH I prefer it that way.

I’ve seen a few young kids invited up once to dance on all my visits, but that’s it. I’m not sure it’s a regular thing.

Sounds like it's a regular, nightly thing. Their website says:


Can’t-Miss Irish Dance Show
Bring the whole family to watch The Rhythms of Raglan, a 90-minute spectacle featuring eclectic house bands accompanied by a cast of dancers hailing from Riverdance.

During each performance, kids are invited to come on stage and join the dancers. They can even receive a signed certificate of achievement, just by participating.

I've never seen children on stage with the exception that once on the outdoor stage the scheduled performers were a group that included some very talented younger boys playing instruments.

It could be something knew. I haven’t been since last year.

Last time we were there (granted it was a couple of years ago) during part of the show a couple of the dancers came over to a small square of floor near our table. They danced and taught the kids sitting in that area a little bit, and our kids got a certificate to take home. So not on the main stage, but they got to participate. It is a favorite for my girls and my 11 year old is BEGGING to go back. (She learned she likes lamb when we were there and became obsessed with shepherd's pie in any form)

Its been a few years for us, but my daughter was asked to go up on stage and dance. I don't recall seeing this happen on our last visit but we weren't in the main dining room so we couldn't really see the stage. But its fun regardless. Food is solid and the dancers and music is always a lot of fun.

 

[Ralph&Pam]

We have seen the kids invited to join the dancers at dinnertime, both on the main stage and in small groups near the tables in the rooms that are further away. This has been consistent over many visits, including our most recent one in February. We’ll be there again in June, but it will be for lunch rather than for dinner.

We first went to Raglan Road during their “Soft Opening” many years ago. Although not done early on, kids have been invited on stage for years.
That said, we haven’t been for a few years so maybe that has changed. But it is not new

So I'm assuming the dancers are an ongoing thing, and there isn't a specific time we have to go?

Love Raglan Road. They have the best food and the atmosphere and staff are phenomenal! I have seen dancers come down from the stage to interact with families eating but not bring kids on stage.

 

[Dizzytime]

Love Raglan Road, but Biergarten is the only place that we've gone and expect to see the children dancing.
Wherever you go, sure hope you have a great time!

Kids were invited on stage when we were there recently. I love RR!

 

[JoannaA]

We were there recently, and my kids were invited to go on stage and dance. They received a certificate at the end which thrilled them!

 

[plutolovr]

They have been doing this for years...so much so, that I even know the dance now.

Raglan Road is one of our absolute favorite WDW restaurants! We were there last week and they did invite the kiddies up to dance. The musicians play on and off and the dancers come out for different songs. They invited the kids up for one song/dance and got their certificates.
Raglan Road is also one of only about 8 bars in the US that serves Kilkenny beer. My DH really likes it!

Is the entertainment ongoing, or a specific time? Im planning on going for dinner one evening...most likely a Wednesday or Saturday..

Thanks.

I believe it's a time frame that they have, like 5-10 or something like that. The exact times for the musicians and/or dancers is not advertised. The bands probably create their own sets. We had a 6 pm reservation and the band played the whole time we were there until about 7-ish when they took a break. I don't know if that's the norm though. I would say to do the Saturday...it *seems* to be more lively on the weekends.

They also have a band outside; not on the Cookes side, but the patio.
