Gold Lounges at Walt Disney World

Gold is for our favourite lounges, these places are our must visits. The Gold category has everything, from amazing theme, great food and drinks. These lounges are as dear to us as some of the rides at Walt Disney World.

Geyser Point Bar & Grill

Geyser Point Bar & Grill is definitely one of our favourite places to visit. Geyser Point Bar & Grill is located at Disney's Wilderness Lodge. If it is really crowded during the day at Magic Kingdom we like to take the boat to Wilderness Lodge and relax at Geyser Point. We feel that the lounge is really accessible even if you are not staying at Wilderness Lodge as you can just take the boat.

Mjau, Delicious food and drinks! I'm in heaven!

The lounge is right by Bay Lake. The view is amazing and it feels so relaxing there. You do not have a view to Magic Kingdom or Contemporary Resort. We actually like this as it transports you to another world. Mjau, it reminds us of our old summer cottage in Finland. Geyser Point is especially nice when it is hot outside as you get a small cooling breeze from the bay. One downside with this lounge is that you can get unlucky with the seating. We usually come back later or wait if we do not get the seat we want. Mjau, we want to sit in the lounge chairs closest to the bay. We will accept any of their lounge chairs, however the regular chairs are just unacceptable! Mjau!

Delicious burgers!

The drinks here are great and we usually get a Mai Tai or anything else with Rum. The food at Geyser Point is also really delicious. Better than most lounges. We have tried different burgers and fried oysters and have not been disappointed once. This is one of the few lounges we go to for the food as well as the drinks.

Mjau, more burgers and drinks!

Nomad Lounge

Delicious cocktails and relaxing view!

Nomad Lounge is a definite must-visit for us. Nomads Lounge is located on Discovery Island in Animal Kingdom. Nomad Lounge is connected to Tiffins restaurant and is right by the bridge to Pandora. Before Pandora opened the Nomad Lounge was really relaxed, now you can see people walking across the bridge. There is however enough vegetation that it does not feel that crowded. You can get seating outside or inside. We prefer to sit outside by the railing closest to the water. Mjauhihi, we usually turn the chairs so we do not have to see other guests and get an unobstructed view of the lake and forest. We have never had any issues finding seats at Nomad Lounge and the lounge being in Animal Kingdom makes it extremely accessible.

Even reading the menu is an experience!

Delicious and interesting food! 

Delicious drink! Mjauhihi Aunties only got water!

We really like the drinks here, the Leaping Lizard is our favourite. The food here is also really good and different from regular bar and lounge food. You can also ask your server for Tiffins menu and get a snack or appetiser from there. The menu at Nomad Lounge changes very often which is a good thing as you get to try new things all the time. A downside is that if you have a favourite on the menu it might not be there on your next visit.

Delicious food and a non-alcoholic beverage for a change!

The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge

Delicious margarita flight!

The Hollywood Brown Derby is located at Hollywood Boulevard in Disney's Hollywood Studios. This is a Lounge that has slowly grown on us. We did not leave our first visit that impressed. Mjau, however now it has become one of our favourite lounges and a must visit during our Walt Disney World trips. In our earlier draft we had actually put The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge in the Silver Category.

Mjau, really delicious and refreshing food!

We really enjoy the location. It is right by Hollywood Boulevard and the walkway is almost always crowded. There is enough fences and trees that the crowds do not disturb your visit if you sit closer to the wall. Mjau, if you sit right by the fence, as we did on our first visit, it can start to feel stressful with all the people walking in a rush. Mjau, you are also able to catch the March of the First Order from the lounge. The drinks here are delicious and the food is also really tasty. Mjau, we really enjoy the Margarita Flight. It is really a great value for money. You basically get tree drinks for almost the price of one, which is amazing at Walt Disney World. They also have a Martini Flight, however we prefer Margaritas. We also really enjoyed the Mini Dessert Trio that they offered. You get to select three desserts you want from a list of around five. It is perfect for us as we get bored easily and like to try different things. The downside to The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge is that as it is so accessible and visible, it is usually crowded and it could be difficult to get a table.

Delicious dessert trio!
