Top Five Drinks at Disney World

Top Five Drinks at Disney World (and One Worthy Runner-Up)

Let’s talk Disney World drinks—because while the kids are losing their minds over Mickey bars and pretzels, we adults deserve something a little stronger. As your trusty Disney travel advisor (and frequent sipper), I’ve curated the ultimate list of liquid magic that’ll take your Disney experience to new heights. Whether you’re into whiskey, bubbles, or boozy milkshakes, this list has you covered.

1. Woodford Old Fashioned – Enchanted Rose (Grand Floridian Resort)

Classy, smooth, and just a little mysterious—this Old Fashioned is everything I aspire to be. Made with Woodford Reserve, it’s a perfect blend of sweet and smoky that feels very on-brand for the opulent Enchanted Rose Lounge. Sip it slowly while pretending you’re a Disney prince (or just a tired dad who’s earned his peace).

2. The Lion’s Uncle – Top of the World Lounge (Bay Lake Tower)

This drink is the king of the (Disney) jungle. The Lion’s Uncle combines rye whiskey, bitters, and a touch of maple to create a cocktail that roars with flavor. Bonus points for sipping it on the rooftop terrace, where the view of Magic Kingdom fireworks turns every drink into a main event.

3. Old Fashioned or French 71 – Steakhouse 71 Lounge (Contemporary Resort)

Steakhouse 71 Lounge doesn’t just serve dinner—it serves class. The Old Fashioned is top-tier, but if you’re feeling a little fancier, go for the French 71. It’s a champagne cocktail with a boozy kick, making it ideal for those “celebrating something” moments… like surviving the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train queue with kids.

4. Galaxy Spritz – Space 220 (Epcot)

Ever wanted to drink in zero gravity? While this cocktail won’t defy physics, the Galaxy Spritz will make you feel like you’re sipping among the stars. A vibrant, sparkling concoction with a touch of elderflower, it’s as futuristic as the space elevator ride that gets you to the bar. Highly Instagrammable and equally delicious.

5. Adult S’mores Shake – Beaches & Cream (Beach Club Resort)

Here’s the thing: you can’t call yourself a Disney World expert until you’ve tried a boozy milkshake. The Adult S’mores Shake at Beaches & Cream is the perfect mix of nostalgia and indulgence. Think graham cracker crumbs, chocolate, marshmallows, and a boozy kick that’ll have you saying, “This counts as dessert, right?”

Honorable Mention: Fuzzy Tauntaun – Oga’s Cantina (Hollywood Studios)

This drink is more than just a cocktail—it’s an experience. The Fuzzy Tauntaun is fruity, zippy, and topped with buzz foam that literally makes your lips tingle. It’s like Disney dared itself to make the most out-of-this-galaxy drink possible, and they nailed it. (Warning: side effects include making your friends take endless photos of you “feeling the buzz.”)

Sip Smart, Disney Dad

There you have it—my top five (plus one) drinks at Disney World. Whether you’re savoring whiskey at a resort lounge or downing a boozy shake, these picks guarantee your Disney trip is as magical as it is delicious. Now, go forth and sip responsibly—because nothing ruins a good Old Fashioned like trying to explain Genie+ to your kids after one too many. 🍸
