You'll find this casual hotel lounge right around the corner from Cape May Cafe. It's a relaxing lounge to wind down after a long day at the parks. TV's, comfy seating, a nice cold drink and you'll be ready to do it all again tomorrow!

Just OK

Food
Limited appetizer menu.

Atmosphere
Kinda dark, kinda quiet, but kinda nice. It's got several chairs & tables, and other padded wicker furninture that I've seen people curled up on taking a nap. During the day it's a nice spot to get away if you need a break. It's decorated like your Grandma's porch - if she lived in New England back in the 80's.

Review
If you're looking for action, this is not the bar to be. I've seen it busy and loud at times but not often. Even though this place is usually a desert, in our experience, it's often difficult to get the bartender's attention. "Hello? . . . Customer here! . . . Hate to break up the conversation with the other bartender but . . . " I'm sure you get the point. Even with the inattentive staff I'd still call it a good spot to whip out a deck of cards for a slow southern evening.

Food
An expanded menu is now available at the pool bar including Burgers, a Chicken Sandwich and a Salad, along with a couple more interesting items such as a Veggie Quinoa Wrap, Lobster & Shrimp Roll, and a Grilled Cheese & Smoked Bacon sandwich. Click on the menu below for more details.

Atmosphere
A large, open air, beachy themed bar with a nautical, New England flair. You'll now find 12 seats right at the bar, and 2 TVs. Just behind the bar there are several tables with umbrellas to enjoy your snack or drink, but we prefer to grab a chair on the beach side and watch the water. There's a seperate counter to the right of the bar just for ordering food.

Review
It's great to see that they are going to have their own specialty drinks here. Hopefully this is a new trend that we'll start seeing at other pool bars as well. We'll have a review of them coming soon. This is also the only bar on Disney property where you can get a Hurricane Reef Pilsner.

This is arguably the best pool on Disney property, so does that make this the best pool bar on property? It very well might be now after this remodel - if they take care of that bee problem... (Yes, you read that right - bee problem. We've never seen such a swarm hanging out & buzzing around the bar area at any other pool bar. This is a real problem and we mentioned it to a manager and he said they are aware and working on it.)
