Night Life in Disney

[antngoof89]

Does anyone have suggestions for things to do after leaving the parks? Outside of drinking around the world, this wedding trip we are taking will have a lot of free time after park close. I know Jelly Rolls is open late, but what other areas serve alcohol past midnight and are good spots to hang out at the World! Only a few weeks until our wedding trip (which is planned over two years!)

Congratulation! You will have so much fun!

We are night owls so we know a lot about WDW nightlife.

You are right about Jellyrolls. It is a lot of fun! There is also the Atlantic Dance Hall on the boardwalk. But it is usually not very busy.

Make sure that you visit Yehaa Bob Jackson at the River Roost bar at Port Orleans Riverside. He is an amazing piano man who gets everyone in that little bar singing and laughing. He works Wed-Sun from 8pm to midnight. Truly a wonderful performer. If you're shy you can sit further back until you get more comfortable. And there is no cover charge. There are many videos online of him.

All of the deluxe and mod resorts have bars. We like the lake side one at Coronado Springs- beautiful landscaping. It's also fun to hop on the monorail and resort bar hop to the Grand Floridian, Contemporary, and Polynesian.

Mini-golf is open until 11pm. Actually, I think last group in is 11pm. It makes for a fun evening.

Pools are open until midnight. A late night hot tub soak feels great!

Downtown Disney has the House of Blues. Often, there are cool bands playing there. And shopping is open until 11pm or midnight depending on the day.

Disney Quest is a 5 story arcade that is open late as well. It's getting pretty run down these days, but is still fun for a few hours. My DH could race on the nascar car games all day long.

Splitsville is open late too. So is the movie theatre at Downtown Disney. Cirque du Soleil has a 9pm show there.

One of our favourite things to do is get a drink at Crocketts Tavern at Fort Wilderness and walk around the campsites. It's a lot of fun seeing the big rigs, and certain times of the year (Easter, Halloween, Christmas etc), a lot of the sites are decorated up. Late at night you'll have to drive though because the buses stop running. There is also Chip an Dales campfire singalong and movie. There are always a ton of kids, but it can be cute to watch once. You can get beer from their chuckwagon.

Universal City Walk is a fun place for bars of you have a car. There are a lot of cool spots. The Hard Rock Cafe can have some great bands. We've seen Theory of a Deadman, Three Doors Down and the Goo Goo Dolls there before. It was a lot of fun!

Oh, and don't forget about evening extra magic hours! Have a great time! You'll love it!
