Gurgling Suitcase Bar

The Gurgling Suitcase quite possibly may be our new favorite pool bar...and it's not even overlooking the pool! Located off the main lobby, and just on the other side of self-parking which makes this an easy place to access for visitors to the resort. Plus, we are very happy to see that this bar actually has some unique specialty drinks that aren't on the generic Disney pool bar menu.

Atmosphere

Set just off of the pool and just behind the marina, this cozy little bar has some real charm. You'll find clever Disney license plates that have been donated from across the country adorning the wall behind the bar and lots of nautical and tropical goodies on the other walls. You're welcome to stay and watch the sports on their TV or wander the grounds with your tasty concoction.

  
 
 

Review

The Turtle Crawl's flavor starts off with your typical sweet and tangy tropical citrus flavors but becomes more complex with each sip. The coconut rum and spiced rum give it a pronounced coconut and spicy vanilla flavor that help to set it apart from other tropical drinks.

The Sultry Seahorse will romance you with it's smooth amaretto and sweet banana liqueur. The cherry brandy gives it a unique punch of bright cherry flavor that plays nicely with the orange juice.
