Anyone who knows both my husband and I knows that we have a slight obsession (okay, maybe more than slight) with Disney. When people hear that, they often turn their noses up and give me some comment about that being lame or for kids. Well, let me tell you, Disney World is not just for kids. There is so much to do at Disney World that is designed for adult fun and in my opinion, would be incredibly difficult to do with children.
While Disney is a great spot for families and kids, adults can have so much fun as well. To tell you the truth, Disney is the one place I have been where I do not think about my troubles. Oh yes, the only thing I am thinking about is what attraction to visit next. However, whether you are in the theme parks, at the resorts or visiting Disney Springs, there are a bunch of places to visit that are designed with adults in mind.
My husband and I love going to restaurants and lounges to sit at the bar, we split a couple of appetizers and have a drink or two. I don’t know why but this is our thing. Disney has a BUNCH of bars and lounges to grab drinks and bites, some of which may not be appealing for kids. One of our favorite places is Crew’s Cup at Disney’s Yacht Club resort. The place is small and nothing fancy, but they have great food and it’s a cozy atmosphere. After long days in the park, it’s a great place to unwind.
The menu does change from time to time, but one thing that has stayed on our last two visits was the truffle fries! Yum. The menu is also decently priced, so it’s definitely a win.
Another bar/lounge that we visited on our last visit just a week ago was the new lounge at PaddleFish, all the way up top. We sat outside, at the bar and shared Lobster guacamole and some fried green tomatoes. They had some live music as well which was awesome. This place may be difficult for kids, because of the atmosphere and the flights of stairs to get up to the top. Additionally, this place is pricey! Expect to pay nearly $40 for guacamole.
If you want just some drinks, head over to Disney’s Boardwalk resort since they have the fairly new Abracadabar. It’s a magician themed bar/lounge with mysterious elixirs. This place only has drinks and they are on the pricier side. But it was cool to check out and I recommend this to anyone that enjoys good themed places, since Disney does themed places like no other.
While at the Boardwalk, I highly recommend going to Jellyrolls. Jellyrolls is a dialing piano bar and of course you need to be 21 or older. It does have a cover charge, but it is worth it, trust me. The piano players are amazing and can just about play any song you can think of. Although they do deny requests with a lot of profanity (You’re still at Disney!). The drinks are pricey, but that is to be expected. However, they typically have a drink special which comes in a giant red cup which comes in at about $10. The last times we visited the special was sex on the beach and it was actually really good. They give you a big basket of popcorn as well and they keep it coming!
The song-a-long action is amazing and they get the crowds going. And what I find so fun is listening to them play songs by the Spice Girls or Eminem. Oh yea, they play anything. Even if you don’t drink alcohol, I believe anyone can have a good time here.
Then there is Epcot. You can grab a drink and bite around the world, stop to see the street performers and shop the various pavilions. Our favorite time at Epcot was for food and wine festival. If you are planning to visit during end of September through early November (roughly), you can catch it. Epcot does get busy, but it’s a lot of fun to visit the booths that have been set up for cuisines from all around the world, not just at the countries that have pavilions.
The last thing I tell people to do is to resort hop! If you don’t have kids with you, this is a must! Kids are not going to want to visit the resorts or go to the various bars that are nestled within the resorts. Disney resorts are themed so well and with such attention to detail that it’s so fun to see it all. They also have various bars with cocktails that fit the theme of the resort. For example, Disney’s Polynesian resort has Trader Sam’s which is a cute little lounge with tiki inspired beverages, both alcoholic and nonalcoholic. They have the indoor area and and outdoor spot that overlooks the lagoon. Visit the outdoor area in the evening, around 9pm and you can even see the fireworks from Magic Kingdom (romantic eh?). 
So that’s that, those are some of my reasons that everyone should experience Disney World before you settle down and have children. Disney is great for everyone but if you want to see a bit more than characters and want to get a feel for what else Disney can offer, then plan a visit. Disney is one of my favorite places partially because you can feel like a kid again and it’s totally acceptable! They are always adding new things to see and it makes you want to continually go back. So if you are one of those people that think Disney is just for children, think again and give it a go!
