Ready to explore the best lounges inside the Disney parks? Let’s get started!

1. Nomad Lounge (Animal Kingdom)

I’m kicking off this list with Nomad Lounge—one of my all-time favorite lounges in all of Disney World. Tucked away off the main path to Pandora in Animal Kingdom, Nomad Lounge feels like an oasis of calm. From the moment you step inside, it’s hard not to be swept up by the soothing, travel-inspired decor and the lush patio that overlooks a serene waterway.

The drink menu is truly one-of-a-kind, inspired by flavors from Africa, Asia, and South America. My go-to order? The Lamu Libation, a tropical mix of African rum and pineapple juice that is as refreshing as it sounds. Pair it with the Tiffins Bread Service or Tuna Poke, and you’ve got yourself the perfect break from exploring the parks.

Nomad Lounge is a great stop if you’re park-hopping between Animal Kingdom and Epcot, especially if you’re following an Epcot Drinking Guide or planning a full-day Disney Bar Crawl. I recommend arriving early to grab a seat on the patio—trust me, it fills up fast!

2. Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar (Epcot)

If you need to cool off after wandering through Epcot, the Tutto Gusto Wine Cellar in the Italy Pavilion is a perfect hideaway. This dimly lit, cozy wine cellar feels like you’ve been transported to a charming Italian retreat, far from the busy crowds outside. It’s the ultimate escape if you’re looking for a quiet corner to relax.

With over 200 Italian wines on the menu, it’s a wine lover’s paradise. One of my favorite pairings is a crisp glass of Prosecco with the Italian meats and cheeses platter—a great option for sharing with friends. The small plates menu is just enough to satisfy you while keeping things light, making it the perfect stop on your Epcot Drinking Guide.

If you’re planning a Disney Bar Crawl or a Bachelorette Party in Disney, Tutto Gusto is an excellent addition to your itinerary. Plus, it’s a cool, relaxing retreat when you need a break from the Florida sun.

3. Spice Road Table (Epcot)

Located in the Morocco Pavilion in Epcot, Spice Road Table is another hidden gem that balances Mediterranean charm with a laid-back vibe. I love grabbing a table on their outdoor terrace, which offers beautiful views of the World Showcase Lagoon. It’s also one of my favorite spots to catch the evening fireworks while sipping on a Moroccan Mule—a spicy, refreshing twist on the classic cocktail.

The menu here is perfect for grazing, with small plates like hummus, lamb sliders, and spicy shrimp. This makes it an excellent stop if you’re doing a Drink Around the World in Epcot crawl. One of my favorite memories here was enjoying the sunset with a cocktail in hand—it truly felt like my own little escape from the world.

Spice Road Table is a must-visit if you're exploring Epcot on an adult-only Disney trip or planning to Drink Around the World with friends. Its waterfront views and refreshing cocktails make it an ideal stop during your Epcot adventures..

4. Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge (Hollywood Studios)

For those craving a touch of old-school Hollywood glamor, head straight to the Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge at Hollywood Studios. This outdoor lounge, located right next to the iconic Brown Derby restaurant, serves up classic cocktails and a perfect people-watching spot on Sunset Boulevard. You’ll feel like a movie star sipping a Grapefruit Cake Martini (inspired by the famous dessert!) while taking in the energy of the park.

The first time I visited, I wasn’t expecting to be so captivated by its laid-back, elegant atmosphere. It’s a fantastic spot if you’re doing a Skyliner Bar Crawl and want to pop in to Hollywood Studios or simply need a break before catching a show.

The cocktail menu is diverse, with options ranging from martinis to Napa Valley wines, making it a top stop for anyone looking for a more sophisticated drink experience.

5. Tune-In Lounge (Hollywood Studios)

Let’s take it back to the 1950s with Tune-In Lounge at Hollywood Studios! Attached to the retro-themed 50’s Prime Time Café, this lounge is filled with vintage charm and family-friendly nostalgia. The atmosphere feels like you’ve stepped into your grandma’s living room, complete with retro furniture and classic TV shows playing in the background.

One of my favorite drinks here is the Dad’s Electric Lemonade—a sweet, electric-blue cocktail that fits the lounge’s throwback vibe. The bartenders here are super friendly and love getting in on the fun with guests, making it a lively stop on your Disney Bar Crawl.

If you’re planning a girls’ trip to Disney or looking to add a playful twist to your Hollywood Studios day, Tune-In Lounge is an excellent pitstop. It’s casual, fun, and full of personality—everything you want from a classic Disney lounge.
