It operates on a first come, first serve basis and typically opens in the afternoon and closes late. Note that Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto is completely enclosed with no windows. At least not real windows. This means there are no fireworks views from inside.

Tips for Enjoying Disney World Bars

  • When visiting a bar at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, parking may be an issue. Resort parking is typically reserved for guests with a dining reservation. If you want to visit a bar or lounge only, it may be best to use Disney World the complimentary transportation options like boats, busses, monorails and the Disney Skyliner. These are available to take you from the parks and Disney Springs to any resort.
  • Many of the same drinks are available at the bars, lounges and restaurants at Disney World. For something different, ask if there is anything exclusive to your location.
