9 Hidden Gem Lounges to Eat and Drink at in Walt Disney World

Mar 01, 2018

Walt Disney World is full of tasty treats like Mickey-shaped ice cream sandwiches and rose-colored churros. We want to let you in on a little secret though: Some of the best eats and drinks can be found at the hotel lounges throughout the resort. Away from the hustle and bustle of the parks, these lounges offer reprieve from the hot Central Florida sun (plus have out-of-this-world menu options), which is why we think they should be on your must-do list next time you visit The Most Magical Place on Earth.

1. Geyser Point Bar & Grill, Disney’s Wilderness Lodge: Overlooking the gorgeous Bay Lake, this poolside bar and grill has views and food that make it worth the trek to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge. Tip: Geyser Point Bar & Grill is an open-air location, so we recommend visiting from late fall to early spring.

Small Bites to Try:

  • Cheesy barbecue brisket with house-made chips
  • Salmon rillette with sourdough crisps

Specialty Cocktail to Try:

  • Huckleberry Punch: 44° North Mountain Huckleberry Vodka, Bols Crème de Cassis, fresh lemon juice, and cranberry juice

2. AbracadaBar, Disney’s BoardWalk: Supposedly a former magicians’ hangout, AbracadaBar features spellbinding sips. Tip: While this lounge doesn’t serve food, we suggest taking a stroll down the boardwalk to Ample Hills Creamery, an ice cream joint beloved by both Oprah and Disney CEO Bob Iger.

Specialty Cocktails to Try:

  • Pepper’s Ghost: Ciroc Pineapple Vodka and habanero lime
  • The Conjurita: a color-changing cocktail of El Mayor Tequila, Cointreau, simple syrup, and lime juice

5. Scat Cat’s Club, Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – French Quarter: Disney’s Port Orleans – French Quarter will make you think you’re in N’Awlins instead of Central Florida. This watering hole is a great place to sit for a spell and enjoy live jazz music. Tip: Head to the nearby Sassagoula Floatworks & Food Factory to pick up a piping-hot order of beignets.

Small Bites to Try:

  • Mardi Gras Fritters: pimento cheese fritters with pepper jelly

Specialty Cocktail to Try:

  • Ramos Fizz: Hendrick’s Gin, fresh lemon and lime juice, half and half, orange flower water, and agave nectar topped with soda water

6. River Roost, Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside: A short walk or boat ride from the French Quarter area, Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside feels a world away. With grand planation-style buildings and ample rocking chairs, it’s a great spot to relax. If you can, try to time your visit to River Roost around when the resident pianist Yehaa Bob performs.

Small Bites to Try:

  • “Drunken Flatbread:” Steak with drunken goat cheese and pepper jelly

7. Mizner’s Lounge, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa: Located behind the bandstand on the second floor of the Grand Floridian’s lobby, this is a fantastic spot to take in a live band while enjoying small bites. As a bonus, it’s a short monorail ride from Magic Kingdom. Mizner’s Lounge has several appetizers from nearby Cítricos’ exquisite menu, and desserts are confectionary works of art from the Grand Floridian Pastry Team lead by Master Pastry Chef Erich Herbitschek.

Small Bites to Try:

  • Arancini: crispy risotto, mascarpone, and zesty garlic
  • Slow-roasted Snake River Farms pork belly with Beluga lentils and hibiscus glaze

Specialty Cocktail to Try:

  • Mizner Cooler: St-Germain, Nolet’s Gin, lime juice, simple syrup, soda water, and fresh mint

Outside, Trader Sam’s Tiki Terrace is a more relaxing experience with live music and a view of Seven Seas Lagoon. We recommend visiting both! Tip: Try to time your visit so you can view the Magic Kingdom fireworks spectacular, Happily Ever After, from the resort’s beach.

Small Bites to Try:

  • Corn-battered Portuguese sausages served with curry ketchup
  • Headhunter sushi roll
  • Hawaiian poke with sriracha aioli

Specialty Cocktails to Try:

Still Processing? Let's Break Down the Emotional 'The Pitt' Ending

The Pittseason 1 has been nothing short of gripping — and even the slower-paced season finale still lived up to that to that hype. From the moment the medical drama's ending started, we finally got answers to questions we've had all season about the incredible, life-saving doctors we've followed for 15 episodes. Let's unpack it all.

Here's everything you need to know about that emotional The Pitt season finale...

Warrick Page/Max

From the jump, we finally found out why Dr. McKay has an ankle bracelet — she's in a custody battle and was deemed flight risk. This explains so much about the tension with the "Bonus Mom" girlfriend, Dr. McKay's ex-husband, and her son. We don't know why the split and custody battle are so contemptuous, but at least it explains why someone with an ankle monitor is able to work in the medical field. It was always obvious Dr. McKay was a good doctor, but this little detail definitely confused me for the whole season.

I'm glad the police decided to let her go after tampering with the monitor — ya know, so she could save lives after a literal mass shooting.

Warrick Page/Max

This Dr. Langdon situation continues to get murky. He chose to confide in Dana which wasn’t necessarily unexpected, but it was interesting. It's clear he was desperately searching for allies to confirm that he's not actually an addict...whether he's looking to confirm that to himself or to Dr. Robbie is another story.

It seems like Dr. Langdon really believes he was just "weening" himself off of the pain medication like a doctor would, but it doesn't seem like anyone else is really buying that. When Dana tells him that Dr. Robbie will do what's best, it really shows how much the entire staff trusts his leadership, but also how questionable Dr. Langdon's choices really may be.

Warrick Page/Max

While we already know David isn’t the shooter from the festival, it's clear that Dr. McKay still finds him a bigger threat than just a depressed high schooler. He may not have deserved the intensity from the police at first, but I think the subsequent persistence for preventative mental health treatment is brilliant. This all feels especially timely given the “manosphere” and the rise of toxic masculinity in young men right now.

Totally love how they approached this, and I hope season 2 gives us a glimpse into a follow-up here.

Warrick Page/Max

When Dr. Langdon and Dr. Robbie finally had their confrontation about the drug use, I was genuinely shocked by Langdon's behavior. Dr. Robbie offered an out that made sense — NA meetings, random drug testing, etc — without requiring Dr. Langon to lose his job (or medical license). Instead of taking that graciously, Dr. Langdon acted out and used Dr. Robbie's panic attack very obviously caused by PTSD against him. This low blow was incredibly addict behavior-coded, and he really only proved that he's not fit to practice.

Warrick Page/Max

After a pretty tumultuous season for her, Dr. Santos definitely proved her bedside manner is so much better by the end! Her cutthroat mentality, rash decision-making, and blunt demeanor clearly wasn't serving her — or her patients — at the beginning of her first shift. Not only did it upset everyone around her, but it lead to some patient complications that honestly could have been avoided.

Now, by the end of her first 15 hours of her Emergency Medicine rotation, it's clear that Santos embraced a thoroughness and thoughtfulness that ultimately lead her to save a man from future self-harm. So proud of her growth!

(And I can't wait to see what roommate Santos and Whittaker are like in season 2!)

Warrick Page/Max

Throughout the episode, the residual blood prints on the floor highlighted the ever-present tragedy the ER just faced in only a few hours. It's such a good, small, specific detail that shows how the doctors, nurses, and overall hospital staff have to continue on in the face of their own trauma, saving more and more lives as the clock ticks on.

These details make Dr. Robbie’s speech all the more poignant. He said, “None of us are gonna forget today — even if we really, really want to.” And while that's exemplary of how people experience trauma in real life, but it also clearly exhibits his character’s direct experience with the trauma of COVID and the loss of his friend and mentor.

With that in mind, it's fitting that Dr. Robbie and Dr. Abbott share an emotional moment the roof after meeting each other there in the first episode. The men discuss the hardship of this role, questioning why they keep coming back day after day to such a heavy job.

Meanwhile, the ER waiting room starts quickly filling up all over again, further highlighting the continuous fatigue and mental health hardships each doctor and medical professional faces throughout their shifts – and their entire careers.

At the end of the day, when all the doctors cheers to the work, the patients saved, and the patients lost, it felt like Nick Caraway's last quote from The Great Gatsby:

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Warrick Page/Max

Remaining Takeaways:

  • Dr. Whitaker not being able to afford a place to live or a car as a literal doctor shows how messed up it is that we can’t pay a livable wage to the people literally saving lives day in and day out — even when they’re students, interns, or otherwise.
  • Poor Dr. King's caregiver fatigue. I hope she’s okay because she's definitely gonna burnout operating at the level she is — high metabolism or not.
  • The rats coming back is honestly hilarious.
  • Dr. Abbott worked so hard all day with that prosthetic and didn't let a single person or patient feel bad about it. A consummate caregiver.
  • Dana won’t come back — she’ll be the medical professional to break the cycle of putting themselves in this day-in and day-out.
  • We still don't know what's going on with Dr. Collins — I hope she's okay!

Is episode 15 of 'The Pitt' the season finale?

Warrick Page/Max

Yes, episode 15 of The Pitt is the season 1 finale!

How long is the last episode of 'The Pitt'?

Warrick Page/Max

The last episode of The Pitt (episode 15) is 60 minutes long.

Is there a season 2 for 'The Pitt'?

Warrick Page/Max

Thankfully, Max confirmed that The Pitt season 2 is definitely coming! And the best part? We're supposed to get the second season by January 2026 — Yay!

Is 'The Pitt' based on a real hospital?

Warrick Page/Max

No, The Pitt isn't based on a real hospital.

How Much Does It Actually Cost To Stay At 'The White Lotus' Season 3 Resort?

The White Lotus has a reputation for corralling groups of attractive actors, giving them insufferable characters to portray, and allowing audiences to gawk at the insane situations these ultra-privileged people get themselves into.

However, aside from offering a healthy dose of drama, this series also provides viewers with stunning cinematography, partly thanks to the gorgeous The White Lotusfilming locations.

The series almost serves as a sort of subtle commercial for these destinations, too. Of course, everyone knew that Hawaii and Sicily were both stunning. But after seeing such opulent accommodations and scenery from both spots on-screen during season 1 and season 2, hotels in Hawaii and Sicily equally enjoyed increased hotel bookings.

So, now that season 3 is nearly over, it's safe to assume that plenty of fans wouldn't mind visiting the island of Koh Samui in Thailand, as portrayed by the show.

Not to burst your bubble, but we do have to make one thing clear: there isn't actually a "White Lotus Hotel" in Thailand. Instead, different parts of Season 3 were filmed at various hotels, and put together, they formed the illusion of the fictional White Lotus resort.

Even so, you can still recreate your very own glamorous trip to Thailand by figuring out which parts of the fictional resort you like the most, from the spa in the middle of a jungle to the villa where the Ratliff family resides. Just be warned that these opulent stays and excursions may come with a hefty price tag. Let's dive in.

How Much Will It Cost To Stay At Properties From The White Lotus? Keep reading to find out!

HBO

Let's begin with the Anantara Hotels, which account for multiple major locations in season 3. First, the gorgeous spa where Rick has his first stress-management session with Dr. Amrita is at Anantara Mai Khao Phuket, which is about a one-hour plane ride away from Koh Samui. Belinda's hotel room is also at this location, and in real life, a one-night stay costs about $320.

HBO

Meanwhile, a different Anantara location, specifically Anantara Bophut Koh Samui, stands in for the lobby, jewelry store, driveway, security station, and employee parking lot. As for the treetop bar where characters enjoy lavish meals, that's actually known as The Singing Bird Lounge at Anantara Lawana Koh Samui.

Staying at the former can run tourists between $254 and $701 per night, depending on the room they choose. Accommodations at the latter begin at $208 per night.

Anantara

It's worth noting that Anantara actually offers a The White Lotus experience known as the "Lotus Awakening Escape." Starting at $1,757, travelers can enjoy a four-night stay for two, which begins in Phuket and concludes in Koh Samui. Throughout your stay, you will be served on-theme meals and drinks, receive spa treatments, and even get to go on a half-day Phuket tour.

There are two other hotels that account for major backdrops in the show's latest season: Rosewood Phuket and Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui.

Remember when Belinda attempted to confront Greg/Gary while he was dining outside? That was at the luxury Rosewood Phuket hotel, and rooms there begin at a whopping $1,100 per night. Still, dining at Tai Khai could be a more feasible dining experience for visitors.

The restaurant's menu shifts to reflect the seasons, and there are two different three-course menu "sets" that patrons can choose from. The first costs $54, while the second is $64.

HBO

Finally, the Ratliff family and the group of three women (Jaclyn, Kate, and Laurie) are all staying in stunning villas located at none other than the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui. The hotel also served as the backdrop in various scenes this season, supplying Rick's hotel room, the breakfast and lunch eateries, the pool, the beach, the boxing ring, the spirit house, and other common areas.

But while fans of The White Lotus might want to visit this filming destination the most, it's extremely expensive. A three-bedroom family villa, like the Ratliff's accommodations, costs approximately $10,500 per night; meanwhile, a two-bedroom villa is about $8,500 per night. And even for a regular hotel room, guests will have to cough up around $1,900 for a one-night stay.

"Halsey’s screen presence is magnetic and the chemistry between Sydney Sweeney and Paul Walter Hauser is so sweet. A neo-western that puts the eccentric characters of the modern wild west in the sun-soaked spotlight."

The Colliderfirst look features an image of popstar Halsey, dressed in a mint green collared top, with blood splattered across their face, looking out a shattered window.

Netflix's 'Pride And Prejudice' Finally Found Its Elizabeth & Mr. Darcy

It is a truth universally acknowledged that I will absolutely eat up any Pride and Prejudice adaptation. Jane Austen's most famous story has everything: romance, sisterly love, and the blueprint for the enemies-to-lovers trope. To this day, I've never read a fight with dialogue as memorable as Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, and the fact the story eventually gave us THE hand flex in Joe Wright's 2005 adaptation? That's just the cherry on top.

If you've been on TikTok for more than a day, you've probably seen the scene, which stars Keira Knightley and Matthew Macfadyen, replayed at different speeds and angles, which is both its own commentary on the female gaze and a testament to how rich Austen's books are. There are countless glances and touches between Elizabeth and Darcy that add so much nuance to their relationship. And it looks like we're getting countless other moments to turn into TikTok edits because a brand new limited series is coming to Netflix! And the new Pride and Prejudice cast is unbelievable.

Here's everything we know about Netflix's Pride and Prejudice, starring Emma Corrin, Jack Lowden, and Olivia Colman.

Who's in the Netflix Pride and Prejudice cast?

Des Willie/Netflix

The Pride and Prejudice cast is already a super buzzy lineup (and "fantastic," according to one X user). I agree! So far we have:

  • Emma Corrin as Elizabeth Bennet: a headstrong and intelligent young woman determined to marry for love.
  • Jack Lowden as Mr. Darcy: a handsome and wealthy bachelor that has a reputation for his pride.
  • Olivia Colman as Mrs. Bennet: Lizzy's very enthusiastic mother, who wants her daughters married and cared for.

“Playing Elizabeth Bennet is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Emma says in an interview with Netflix. “To be able to bring this iconic character to life, alongside Olivia and Jack, with Dolly’s phenomenal scripts, is truly the greatest honor. I can’t wait for a new generation to fall in love with this story all over again.”

The other characters we're still waiting on are Jane Bennet, Mr. Charles Bingley, Caroline Bingley, Mary Bennet, Kitty Bennet, Mr. George Wickham, Lydia Bennet, and Mr. Bennet. According to The Daily Mail, Daisy Edgar-Jones (Twisters) has been sent scripts for the series, and now I just NEED to see her as Jane! (Maybe we could get Paul Mescal as Bingley?)

Is there a new Pride and Prejudice coming out in 2026?

Focus Features

Yes we're getting a brand new Pride and Prejudice! THR reports the series is set to film later this year, so there's a good chance we'll see the show next year.

Dolly Alderton (Everything I Know About Love) is writing the script for Pride and Prejudice while Euros Lyn will direct.

“Once in a generation, a group of people get to retell this wonderful story and I feel very lucky that I get to be a part of it,” Dolly tells Netflix. “Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice is the blueprint for romantic comedy — it has been a joy to delve back into its pages to find both familiar and fresh ways of bringing this beloved book to life."

"The book is a gift to adapt — packed with drama and depth as well as comedy and charm," she continues. "In it lies the opportunity to examine the complexities of love, family, friendship and society, while aspiring to Austen’s delightfully observational voice. With Euros Lyn directing our stellar cast, I am so excited to reintroduce these hilarious and complicated characters to those who count Pride and Prejudice as their favorite book, and those who are yet to meet their Lizzie and Mr Darcy.”

Where can I watch Pride and Prejudice?

Nick Wall/Netflix

You'll be able to watch the show on Netflix, but stay tuned for the Pride and Prejudice release date!

This is going to mark the first time the streamer's adapted a Jane Austen story since 2022's Persuasion, which received a 30 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes and led to reviews with titles like Netflix's Persuasion is an absolute disaster and ‘Persuasion’ Is Awful and It’s Also Everything That’s Wrong with Netflix. The report also follows the news that the BBC is adapting The Other Bennet Sister, which revolves around Mary.

With Dolly Alderton behind the scenes, I'm sure the new adaptation will have the same wit as the original story, with a modern edge that will attempt to make it more relatable, with (hopefully) enough respect for the original work to make it not feel untrue to the original story.

How many episodes of Pride and Prejudice are there?

​John-Mark Smith/Pexels

Pride and Prejudice on Netflix will have six episodes total.

Where is Pride and Prejudice filming?

Pride and Prejudice is set to film in the U.K. later this year.

What is Pride and Prejudice about?

Amazon

Pride and Prejudice Plot

Pride and Prejudice follows the Bennet family and their five daughters: Jane, Elizabeth, Mary, Kitty, and Lydia. When Mr. Darcy arrives to town — and Elizabeth immediately dislikes him — she strives to see as little of him as possible. This proves to be a difficult task when Jane falls for his best friend Mr. Bingley.

Does Netflix have Pride and Prejudice?

Focus Features

Wondering, Where can I watch the original Pride and Prejudice movie? Both the 2005 Pride & Prejudice and Persuasion are on Netflix now! The 1995 Pride and Prejudice is on Peacock.
