Monorail Bar Crawl: Is It Worth It?

Disney World has countless options for ways to have fun and try new things. EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Studios all have adult beverages that can make your experience more fun while visiting theme Parks. But what about when you want a chill day at your Resort, or you want to explore more of the Disney property? This unofficial monorail bar crawl seems to be a great alternative for many Disney fans.

The monorail bar crawl has gained a lot of traction with various Guests blogging their adventures. A writer at Insider detailed his experience heading to these three resorts; Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.

All three of these resorts can easily be accessed using Disney’s free monorail transportation. Each Resort offers its own version of a Disney vacation, with its own theme, culture, and vibe. The unofficial bar crawl offers the opportunity to try out new bars and restaurants in the Resorts, as well as the drink and food selections they have to offer.

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

The first stop at this Resort is The Tambu Lounge – Great Ceremonial House. It has views of Magic Kingdom that you can enjoy while sipping on a cocktail. Next up is Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto. This watering hole is filled with the Hawaiian experience like no other. Trader Sam’s fills up quickly, so it’s a great first stop earlier in the day if you want to try out their cocktails and enjoy the whimsically themed lounge.
