1. Pina CoLAVA (Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Various)
This tropical tipple has got all the exotic charm of the Seven Seas Lagoon… and more!

Generous swirls of rich raspberry put a sweet and whimsical spin on this classic Pina Colada, turning it into a true dessert cocktail.

Rumor has it – the experts at La Cava del Tequila have tamed this drink a bit by adding more lime, thus cutting the punch.

13. Hightower Rocks (Nomad Lounge at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park)
It’s pretty much impossible to talk about the 15 Best Alcoholic Drinks at Disney World without mentioning the Nomad Lounge.
This upscale bar is a hidden gem within Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park.
Why?
It probably has something to do with its limited menu and/or being overshadowing by more family-friendly options within the park.
But – shhh – don’t let the cat out of the bag. This is an insiders hotspot and we want to keep it that way!
If you’re all about feeling a bit lavish on your next trip, kick your feet up at Nomad Lounge.
Though every drink I’ve ever tried at the lounge was worthy of praise, the Hightower Rocks deserves special mention.
Why We Love this Disney Cocktail
Simple yet sweet, the Hightower provides a generous pour of Casa Dragones Blanco Tequila, watermelon, sweet-and-sour, and lime juice.

We all know this bar packs a proper pour and wide array of beer combinations.
But the Leaping Leprechaun is in a class of its own, integrating a playful sequence of Myers’s Platinum Rum, Skyy Vodka, Jameson Irish Whiskey, Melon Liqueur, and Sweet-and-Sour topped with Sprite. Only thing missing is a pot of gold.

What to Know Before Drinking at Disney World
Now that you know where to find the best drinks in Walt Disney World, let’s go through some of the most commonly asked questions.
How much are cocktails at Walt Disney World?
Walt Disney World is home to hundreds of cocktails, frozen concoction, and lively libations. Pricing will vary throughout the park, but alcoholic beverages are between $12 – $20.
Do I need reservations to go Drinking Around the World?
Unless you are looking to enjoy a sit-down Table Service dining experience, there is no need to make reservations if you are simply looking to go Drinking Around the World.
How long does Drinking Around the World take?
When it comes to Drinking Around the World, you are going to need to pace yourself. In addition, you’ll need to factor in meals, as well as travel time.
There are 11 total pavilions in World Showcase. If you spend one hour at each pavilion, it will take you a total of 11 hours to go Drinking Around the World.
I suggest splitting this task into at least two days.
Is Magic Kingdom a dry park?
Not anymore! You can find plenty of alcoholic beverages at the following Magic Kingdom restaurants:
- Be Our Guest
- Cinderella’s Royal Table
- Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen
- Liberty Tree Tavern
- Tony’s Town Square Restaurant
- The Plaza Restaurant
- Crystal Palace
- The Diamond Horseshoe
