Did you know Disney Springs at Walt Disney World has over ten weekday happy hour opportunities? We visit these regularly. Which ones should you try?
There are so many things to do on Walt Disney World property. Still, one that you may not have considered is enjoying the plentiful amount of “happy “hours” at Disney Springs. These “hours” run continuously from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, with some not offered on the weekends. For research purposes only, we recently visited Disney Springs and experienced them all.
First Disney Springs Happy Hour Stop: Hole in the Wall (Raglan Road outdoor bar)
Happy Hour here runs Sunday – Thursday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. to Close. The first happy hour we visited on our most recent Happy Hour tour was Hole in the Wall. We started the morning with an Iced Irish cocktail. Essentially, it was a “hard” iced coffee, perfect for kicking off a happy hour tour before noon. They offer $6 domestic drafts and $10 cocktails. The Iced Irish cocktail itself is priced at $10.
Paradiso 37 – Social Hour
Available Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., this happy hour at Paradiso 37 features $8 House Margaritas and $7 Domestic Draft Beers. However, we find it not quite as “happy” as other happy hours at Disney Springs during the same time. We recommend going elsewhere, especially if you are interested in beer specials. We elected to skip this one on our most recent visit.
House of Blues
From Monday to Thursday, between 11:30 a.m. and 5 p.m., House of Blues offers discounted drinks and food. This was our second stop, where we got the Voodoo Nachos and the Happy Hour Mule, both priced at $8. The mule was what you would expect from this style of beverage, except for the discounted price. Nevertheless, the hit for us at House of Blues was the Voodoo Nachos. Our best description would be taking nacho chips and throwing street corn flavors on top. We found this very tasty.
Jaleo by Jose Andres – Sangria Hour
Jaleo by Jose Andres offers a daily Sangria Hour from 11:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. with discounted drinks and tapas. This happy hour stop at Disney Springs is an elegant place to enjoy authentic Spanish flavors. It is also the final Disney Springs Happy Hour location with “early” hours. We enjoyed the Madrid Spain Beer for $7 and the Endivias con queso de cabra y naranjas for just $5. The Endivias were light, and the goat cheese, oranges, and almonds combined offered a surprisingly pleasant flavor.
Eet by Maneet Chauhan – Dancing Elephant Happy Hour
From Monday to Thursday, between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m., you can enjoy half-off drinks at eet by Maneet Chauhan, including beer, wine, and cocktails. In the past, we enjoyed Indian beer, the Taj Mahal, as a happy hour option, but it has been replaced with Rupee Beer. Both are enjoyable, but we prefer the Taj Mahal. The price was originally $12.95, but just $6.48 during the happy hour. This spot is a great choice if you want to try some Indian street food style cuisine.
City Works Eatery and Pour House
City Works Eatery and Pour House Disney Springs offers a weekday happy hour from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., featuring $2 off beer, seltzers, wine, and well drinks and half-off all bar bites. Also, for $13.95, you can enjoy the Sliders & Suds deal, which includes two sliders and a 14-oz beer. We ordered the Buffalo Chicken Dip for $8.47 and the Sunshine State FL Lager for $7.50. Both are recommended. The chip-to-dip ratio was fantastic for the Buffalo Chicken Dip.
The Edison
From Monday to Friday, 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., The Edison at Disney Springs offers discounted drinks and appetizers. At this point, we needed a break from eating, so we ordered the $8 Four Roses Old-Fashioned, which is heavily orange-flavored. This is not our favorite old-fashioned cocktail on Walt Disney World property, but it is a worthy happy hour cocktail.
STK Steakhouse
This upscale spot offers happy hour deals from Monday to Friday, 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., and on Saturday and Sunday, from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Additionally, there are deals available from Sunday through Thursday, 10 p.m. to close. The $19 Happy Surf & Turf, which features a 3 oz. filet and a jumbo prawn stand out. We seem to find ourselves at this happy hour regularly because we thoroughly enjoy the $3 falafels. Of course, they were ordered along with a $9 Espresso Martini. This happy hour is one of the most reliable ones, and it hasn’t changed in years.
Terralina Crafted Italian
Happy Hour at Terralina Crafted Italian is available daily at the outside bar from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and at the inside bar from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. We tried the Crooked Can Cloud Chaser Hefeweizen, which cost $8.92 with tip included (sorry, we lost the receipt). It’s a relaxed spot to enjoy a drink in a cozy atmosphere.
Best Disney Springs Happy Hour? : Summer House on the Lake – Martini Hour
Summer House on the Lake is a newer Disney Springs Happy Hour. It is offered Monday through Friday from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. at one of the multiple bars in the restaurant. Considered one of the best Happy Hour food deals at Disney Springs, this location offers bottomless truffle fries for $10 (for groups of up to 4). This location also holds the distinction of being the best draft beer value, as well as having a $4 draft beer. The caveat is that only one “rotating” beer is available, but if it’s one you like, it offers the best value on the property. On this day, we ordered the beer, which was a lager (yummy), and the $12 cheese pizza. The “Tavern Style” pizza hit the spot and truly lived up to its name.
Relaxed Disney Springs Happy Hour: Stargazers
From 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. daily, Stargazers near Planet Hollywood offers $5 craft beer pints, $5 wells, and $8 double wells. This laid-back venue is perfect for a more casual experience with affordable drinks. Until Summer House on the Lake came along, this was the best draft beer deal at Disney Springs and still a great option if you are looking for more beer options.
Disney Springs Happy Hour Day
It was a magical day visiting ten Disney Springs Happy Hours, which was done solely for research purposes. After gratuities, our bank account was a little over $130 lighter. Nevertheless, the cost would have been much higher if these same items had been consumed outside of a Happy Hour. So, if you’re planning a visit to Disney Springs, be sure to check out some of these happy hour spots to get the most bang for your buck. You might just discover a new favorite drink or dish!
And until the next vlog (blog 😊), podcast, or livestream, keep making memories…
