Drink in Walt Disney World
Drink in Walt Disney World
Once upon a time, Pleasure Island was a hot and happening nightspot, right on Disney property?and after a certain hour you knew there'd be no kids around. Today, Pleasure Island's nightclubs are but a memory, but that doesn't mean adults can't have some grown-up fun after dark.
Certainly Downtown Disney is still a vibrant and active place at night. Several of the restaurants there, especially in Pleasure Island and on the West Side, have full-service bars; Raglan Road in particular is really more an Irish pub than a restaurant. And the DJ at Bongos Cuban Cafe will keep you dancing throughout the evening.
Despite the closures at Pleasure Island, don't think Walt Disney World is completely devoid of nightclubs these days. If you take a trip over to Disney's BoardWalk, you'll find a modern dance club called Atlantic Dance Hall and a dueling-pianos bar called Jellyrolls. The rest of the BoardWalk also stays brightly lit until late at night, with sidewalk cafes, strolling magicians, and other quaint beach-style nightlife.
Most of the resort hotels have their own lounges as well. While they're not exactly a good place to dance the night away, they do offer a more intimate, relaxed atmosphere and plenty of adult beverages. And if you just want to have a drink with dinner, most of the restaurants on property offer at least a few alcoholic options?though you won't find any in the Magic Kingdom.
In Epcot, a popular stunt is called Drinking Around the World: have a drink in each of the countries of World Showcase. (Or, for a fun, free, and sober trip "around the world", try a variety of international Coca-Cola products at Club Cool in the Innoventions pavilion.)
There are a few things to keep in mind when purchasing alcohol at WDW:
- There are no alcoholic beverages for sale in the Magic Kingdom.
- The drinking age for alcohol in Walt Disney World (and all of Florida, for that matter) is 21. Be prepared for strict enforcement of this rule; anybody caught drinking underage, even with parents, may be subject to ejection from the property and criminal prosecution.
- Be sure to bring an actual I.D. with you when purchasing beverages. Copies will not suffice.
- No alcoholic beverages may be brought in to any of the theme parks.
- Alcoholic beverages may not be consumed outside of, or even removed from, their designated places of purchase (i.e., alcohol purchased in Disney's Hollywood Studios cannot leave the park). Alcohol purchased at selected gift shops (such as Weinkeller in Epcot's Germany pavilion in World Showcase) will be sealed in a gift box; if the box is opened, the purchase cannot be carried out of the park. As an alternative, the shop will have the package delivered to the front gate or to your on-site resort hotel free of charge, or you can arrange for shipping back home for a fee.
