If you’re looking for a little grown-up entertainment past dark at Walt Disney World Resort, a Disney Skyliner Bar Crawl is just the ticket. The Disney Skyliner gondola system, which connects multiple resorts and two of the theme parks, is an exciting, whimsical way to explore the magic of Walt Disney World’s best lounges and bars for the perfect adult-friendly evening. So, whether you're a seasoned Disney-goer or a first-time visitor, we have created a stop-by-stop guide to help make the most of your Disney Skyliner bar crawl… 
 

Stop 1: The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge and Oga’s Cantina – Disney's Hollywood Studios 

Treat yourself to a taste of star-studded glamous at The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge. Featuring a famed collection of wine and cocktails, you’ll feel like Hollywood royalty all night. But after indulging in the finer things, it’s time to head to a galaxy far far away (luckily, not actually far at all). Of course, we can’t mention a stop at Disney's Hollywood Studios without mentioning Oga’s Cantina in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. A world of exotic concoctions awaits you in this watering hole. We recommend the Jedi Mind Trick cocktail or the T-16 Skyhopper. You can also take your pick from a range of non-alcoholic options, including Jabba Juice and Carbon Freeze. 

Stop 2: Banana Cabana – Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort 

For tropical vibes and a stop to remember, alight at Banana Cabana in Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort. Tick off signature drinks, such as Tropical Storm and Caribbean Smuggler. And it’s not just the drinks that are doused in Caribbean magic. Chomp down on zesty jerk chicken, crispy coconut shrimp or the special Banana Cabana Burger, all while enjoying the colourful ambience. Banana Cabana is located at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, which is the central hub for the Disney Skyliner. This makes it a convenient stop during any Skyliner bar crawl, as you can easily travel to and from other resorts like Disney’s Riviera Resort or EPCOT, with a quick stop for a tropical drink at Banana Cabana in between. Since it’s right next to the resort’s Skyliner station, it’s a natural and easy addition to your Skyliner bar-hopping route. 
 

Stop 3: Bar Riva and Topolino’s Terrace – Disney’s Riviera Resort 

A chic open-air lounge, Bar Riva is perfect for a casual cocktail and European-inspired atmosphere. Try the Mediterranean Mint Lemonade or the Aperol Spritz to feel like you're sipping away on the French Riviera. And when hunger strikes, tuck into delicious burgers, pastas, and salads. They even have bar favourites and a special create your own kids’ menu. While you’re at Disney's Riviera Resort, you can also pay a visit to its other stop worthy bar, Topolino’s Terrace. Elevate your bar crawl (quite literally) by heading up to the rooftop for stunning panoramic views of EPCOT and beyond. Take in the sights with a glass of fine wine, a cocktail like the Limoncello Collins, or a perfectly crafted Negroni. 

Stop 4: Drop Off Pool Bar – Disney's Art of Animation Resort

After a day basking in the scorching Sunshine State rays, an evening cool off poolside is the ultimate refreshment. The Drop Off Pool Bar is an icy blue haven to kick back, relax, and grab a thirst-quenching frozen cocktail. Be sure to try the Frose or the Frozen Jack and Coke for frozen twists on classics. You’ll also find a broad selection of beers and classic cocktails, as well as some non-alcoholic specialties. And if you fancy a bite to eat, there’s also a fantastic selection of snacks, entrees, and pizzas on offer.  

Stop 5: Petals Pool Bar – Disney's Pop Century Resort

If you’re looking for a similar poolside vibe, then why not venture over to Petals Pool Bar at Disney's Pop Century Resort. Located on the same Skyliner stop as Disney's Art of Animation Resort, this flower power spot has plenty to enjoy. Firstly, there’s the resort’s Hippy Dippy Pool, perfect for those warm Florida evenings. Then, add even more refreshment with one of the many drink options on offer. Highlights include the Pina CoLAVA and The Frosty Pineapple. For those looking for something lighter, Petals also serves non-alcoholic beverages like smoothies and juices. The 1960’s atmosphere, with its bright and colourful decor is in keeping with the resort’s ‘decades’ theme and make it a fun spot to unwind after a day exploring the parks. 

Stop 6: Les Vins des Chefs de France and Rose and Crown– EPCOT 

EPCOT has a fair few spots to sit back with a cold one, but Les Vins des Chefs de France is one of the top picks for its exquisite selection of French wines, champagnes, and beers. Located in the France pavilion of EPCOT’s World Showcase, this charming outdoor wine kiosk is an elegant yet relaxed stop during your bar crawl, offering a touch of European sophistication. Take in the stunning surrounds of Parisian architecture as you enjoy your drinks. And if you still have room for more, venture to the United Kingdom for some traditional British servings. Offering pints of British ales and an authentic taste of the UK in the heart of Disney’s World Showcase, it's one of the most popular spots for those looking to enjoy hearty pub fare, traditional drinks, and a lively, welcoming atmosphere.
