Drinking Around the Monorail Resorts

Yup, was at The Wave in the Contempo' and they were cleaning up and half out the door. Now granted, it was fairly quiet at the time. I don't know if 11pm is the hard cut-off, but I can see it... It IS Disney after all.

The Boardwalk has a couple of bars that are open later if you still want to get your drink on...

Never closed the little bar in the Dolphin, so not sure what their deal is.

Yeah, the only thing that might complicate things for me is that we're not staying at a monorail resort... so my monorail crawl may not be able to go much later than 11 anyway if I'm going to make it back to MK to get on a bus for the Pop.

I guess we could always take a bus to DTD and then from DTD to the Pop, but still... and I really don't want to pay $20-30 for a taxi.

Buses are the way to go; take the monorail to either MK or EC and bus it from there.

TaxI? So not worth it. Unless you go to DTD or the Hess station for a six pack. ;)

I just wish the resort bars were open later than 11pm. That's a bit weak.

Not necessarily! Where some of the resorts "smaller" lounges like the Belle View Room (BWR) or the Outer Rim (CR) are known to close anywhere from 9pm to 11pm others around property usually stay open till 12am. However these times are all subject to change for a few reasons a) Season - Depending on what time of year some lounges will stay open later or close earlier due to high or low season b) Crowd - Like most bars around the world if there isn't much of a crowd or patrons in general the establishment will just close early.

Here is a list of some of your best bets for keeping the party going around the World:

Atlantic Dance Hall 9pm - 2am
Crew's Cup (YCR) 12pm - 12am
ESPN Club 11:30am - 1:00am
JellyRolls 7pm - 2am
Kimonos 5pm - 12am
Mizner's (GFR) 4:30 - 12am
River Roost (PORS) 4pm - 12am
Rix Lounge 6pm - 12am sometimes later
Scat Cats (POFQ) 4pm - 12am sometimes later
Tambu Lounge 1pm - 12am sometimes later
Territory Lounge 4pm - 12am
Victoria Falls 4pm - 12am
Wave Lounge 12pm - 12am sometimes later

Otherwise head down to DTD where House of Blues and Raglan Road usually stay open till 2am

Oh, it definitely depends on crowd levels and time of the year... But 12am isn't much later.

Data point: March 30, 2013... Empty and closed at 11pm:

Yeah unfortunately it happens! I have been lucky enough to be there til 1:30am because the place was packed! Apparently there was a huge convention going on and many of the attendees were living it up one night after having what seemed to be a party in the lounges blue rooms.

Indeed. And it makes sense; if the cost of the staff and utilities (far) outweigh the profit... Happens in bars all around the world (and the World).

Don't curb the food some of the Worlds lounges have awesome menus!

Crew's Cup (YCR)
ESPN Club (BWR)
Kimonos (Swan)
Sanaa Lounge (AKL-KV)
Territory Lounge (WL)
Tune In Lounge (DHS)
Tutto Gusto (Italy)
Wave (CR)

And it would add some spontaneity to our plans as well. Still going to book the ADRs since it's easier to cancel vs. stalk, but I can see myself trimming the list over the various lounge offerings.

Also a great spot just a little pricey compared to other locals around the World!

I was there in early April and decided I liked hanging out having drinks listening to the grand piano. So, it's a quick boat ride from MK and a quick monorail ride back to MK when done (unless I have a nightcap at Narcoosees, then boat back to MK.)
