Hi, Again Jennifer! Welcome back to planDisney.
When we last left off, we touched on my favorite tip for dining at
Steakhouse 71 Lounge on a first-come, first-serve basis. I adore taking a midday break from Magic Kingdom Park at
Disney's Contemporary Resort and snagging a spot at the bar for a
local craft beer and the Stack Burger. After confirming with a very helpful Cast Member, food service does indeed stop when the restaurant closes at 9:00 PM. Be sure to get your yummy bites in before you miss out.
Alternatively, you can visit
Contempo Café for late-night dining until 11:00 PM. For a limited time, this restaurant is featuring
Chef Gina's Lemon Grass Chicken Bánh Mi and a Southern Baked Macaroni & Cheese. Another fun option is to take the
Walt Disney World® Monorail to
Disney's Polynesian Village Resort and visit the
Trader Sam's Tiki Terrace which serves appetizers until 10:00 PM. This outdoor setting has a tropical ambiance and often features live music. I enjoy the unique
cocktails and food here immensely. You cannot go wrong with Pork Tacos, Chicken Lettuce Wraps, or Pan-fried Dumplings.
Finally, because I cannot stop my foodie self, I have a couple more hidden late-night gems. If you are visiting
Disney Springs, try to grab another of those walk-up bar stools at
City Works Eatery & Pour House or
Chef Art Smith's Homecomin'.
Keeping it Magical,
Cindy
