(lively big band music)
- All right, thank y'all for joining us.
This is Legacy Travels Top Five video.
And just a warning right off the bat,
next door to us they are doing some build-out construction
so if you hear some banging and crashing,
that's our friends next door.
So today we are looking at our top five favorite
alcohol drinks at the Disney Parks.
And being someone that has been to Disney a few times and
not quite as huge of a Disney person these two are,
the alcohol drinks come in handy.
So joining me is Alyssa,
- Hi.
- And Katie. - Hi.
- And so, Katie, how many times have you been to a
Disney Park do you think?
- About 15 times,
- Okay, - probably.
- so I'm probably in the six to seven, eight range.
I know you're ridiculous. What's your number now?
- About 39.
- 39. Okay.
- I'll be there in three weeks.
- So I'm a little outgunned.
So what we do, we just go off this list
from number five to number one.
We're going to compare our choices
and I'm gonna start us off if y'all don't mind.
- Sure.
- Another warning, I tend to like the sweeter drinks.
I have a bit of a sweet tooth.
So mine, y'all may hear these and go (retches loudly).
But this is for my list.
The first one is called The Cool-Headed Monkey.
And you find this at Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar
in Disney Springs.
And this is gonna have rum, gonna have a tangerine liqueur,
some lime juice, watermelon, pineapple juice.
Really refreshing, really good, really tasty.
And also, you gotta pay a little extra,
but it does come in a little half monkey head mug
and you pay extra you get to keep the mug.
So it's a lot of fun, good fun choice.
How about you?
What's your number five, Miss Alyssa?
- Okay, so I have to preface with:
I more recently turned 21, so most of my times to Disney
I have not been able to drink alcoholic beverages.
So most of these are just based off of things
that I want to try now.
My number five is called Moroccorita,
and I kind of chose it because of the name
and it sounds really funny.
(laughter)
But you will find this at Epcot at Morocco.
I'm like Phillip, I kind of like sweeter things.
This is vodka, lemon, lime, and triple sec,
whatever that is.
(laughter)
- Triple sec is great and dangerous. It hides the
- Oh good. - alcohol taste
sometimes, yeah.
- What better place?
Yeah, so that's my number five.
Sounds good.
- In Morocco, okay.
How about you, what's your number five?
- My number five would be The Magic Hattan
at the AbracadaBar, - Yeah, yeah.
- at The Boardwalk Inn.
Half of that choice is just for the bar theme in itself.
I think it's a really cool spot.
I liked the 20's magician theme, but it's not as
bright and colorful and Disney, in your face,
as some of the other places to go.
It's a basic Manhattan.
It's got your vermouth and everything.
I'm sorry I didn't write down
the ingredients. - No, no, no, no.
- But straight up drink.
It's an old classic, you can't go wrong with it.
- I love the name of that bar.
I'm happy to remember. - It's really, really clever.
- Very cool, cool, cool.
- And it's a cool spot, too. I mean, a part from
the bar itself, the boardwalk's just
a really great place to hangout.
- It is.
Number four, gonna go with you, Miss Alyssa.
- Again, this has a very funny name,
I feel like most of them do. It's called the Canto Loopy.
And you'll find this in Epcot, too, this one's in China.
And it has melon juice and vodka.
So it's kinda simple.
- I don't know this one, Canto Loopy.
- Canto Loopy.
- Okay.
- It sounds really good.
I usually get pineapple vodka
so I feel like melon juice would be good.
- And it was in China?
- In China. - Okay, cool.
Number four for you.
- Number four for me, I'm going to be a little vague.
I would say any margarita at
La Cava Del Tequila in Mexico - Uh-huh, uh-huh.
I agree.
- Two of my favorites would be either the cucumber
margarita or the avocado margarita.
But you can't go wrong there.
And as someone who doesn't normally order margaritas
when I'm out of Texas, that's high praise.
(laughter)
- No, I agree.
That's a great place to get a margarita, very good.
Okay, mine comes with a little bit of a warning to it.
Mine is the Polynesian Pearl
and it's at the Trader Sam's Grog Grotto at Polynesian.
The warning is it's really hard to get into this bar.
Sometimes, if you wanna go and check it out,
it's really cool, but you may have to wait.
So just be aware, you have to wait to get into this thing.
But again it's gonna have rum, tropical juices,
some cinnamon, couple liqueurs, and the thing is
it's actually in what looks like to be
a giant pearl, a giant pink pearl,
and you get a straw, you drink out of it.
But the other kind of cool thing, they all have their cute
little shticks with them, the bar keeps track of how many
they have sold and each 100th they sell,
isn't pink, it's black.
So the 100th each time comes out as a black pearl.
It's kind of a really cool thing to get, the black pearl.
Again, the drink's gonna be sweet and typically,
I don't think I've had any other alcohol I like that has
cinnamon in it, but it's interesting, it's very,
very cool. - What is in it?
- The cinnamon, it has cinnamon.
It's gonna have rum, tropical juices,
and a couple of liqueurs in it.
It's very, very, very interesting.
Number three, what is number three for you?
- Number three for mine, it's kind of a seasonal choice.
It is an Irish cream ale that they have at
the Ireland Pavilion during the Epcot International
Food and Wine Festival.
It's hard to find depending on where you live in the states.
Very hard to find in Texas, so whenever I'm down there
during Food and Wine Festival I like to go get a pint.
It's great.
- Cool.
And let's just take a quick little segue here.
You are a big fan of that Food and Wine Festival, right?
- I love the Food and Wine Festival.
- Have you been to that? - Uh-huh.
- I have not been to that yet.
- It's really cool.
- I know you have said a few times
that everything's cool.
- Since everyone in my family has turned 21,
we always go to Disney World for the Food and Wine Festival,
that's why I'm going down in a couple weeks as well.
- So is it in September typically or is it a moving target?
- It runs for a few months.
It used to be September through,
it used to be the end of September until mid-November,
but this year it actually started August 31st.
So it's already started,
and again runs until middle of November.
It's becoming more and more popular so they're adding more
pavilions every year and they're expanding the dates to
give people more time to visit during the festival
and it's a great time to go.
If you like food, if you like drinks, they have wine flights
and beer flights and all sorts of specialty cocktails,
and international food, demonstrations from famous chefs,
discussions on cheese and scotch and chocolate.
It's just great.
- Is this typically Epcot or is this all of the parks?
- It's just Epcot.
- Just Epcot, okay.
- Just in Epcot, yeah.
- Very interesting.
- And just basically at the World Showcase,
not really Future World as much.
- Okay, so that was your number three, right?
- That was my number three.
- My number three, and this is gonna sound strange,
I know it's gonna sound strange, 'cause right now if we
were to (snaps) teleport and go to Disney,
this would be the drink I want right this second.
So why it's not number one, there's weird reasons,
but anyway, this is the one that I am the most,
I'd like to have right this second.
And that's a Grand Marnier Orange Slush.
And you find this in France at Epcot.
And this is a frozen cocktail and it's gonna have
Grey Goose, Citron, it's just, it's frozen, it's orange,
I love orange, it's a great taste.
And I want one right this second.
- Sounds refreshing.
- Yeah, it's really, really, really good.
Really, really good.
And again, it's France.
(laughter)
In France.
- My number three is at the Polynesian.
This one's called the Lapu Lapu.
I think that's how you say it.
- Yeah it is.
- It's rum, fruit juice, in a pineapple.
So, it's in a pineapple.
- It's in a pineapple.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- And that's my reason for picking it.
(laughter)
Can't go wrong with pineapple.
- No, I agree.
Have you had one of those?
- I haven't had one of those, but they sound really good.
Every time I walk by and I see it, oh,
have to try it. - Absolutely.
Okay number two, I think I'll lead this.
It's called a--
And my favorite liquor is bourbon,
so that's why this one's at number two instead of...
I put number two because it's a bourbon drink.
It's called the Tempting Tigress and it's gonna be at
the Nomad Lounge at Animal Kingdom,
and it's gonna be bourbon, St. Elizabeth allspice,
gonna be some tamarin syrup,
lime juice on the rocks, bourbon.
It is a little sweeter maybe than a typical old fashioned,
but it kinda reminded me of that a little bit.
But again, I like bourbon, has bourbon in it,
big thumbs up with me with the bourbon.
What's your number two?
- My number two is kind of similar to my number three.
It's at Polynesian again,
but it's called the Spiky Pineapple.
So basically it's rum and then pineapple Dole whip.
So it's like a Dole whip float almost--
- Gotcha.
- --with rum. So sounds like it could be...
- Interesting.
So it's called the Spiky Pineapple?
- Uh-huh.
- Okay, interesting.
- I saw it called different names in different places.
In Disney Land it's one thing, in Disney World it's another.
So, yeah.
- Cool. Cool, cool, cool.
- My number two is actually the same
as Alyssa's. - Is it?!
- Yeah, but I'm going to be a little bit broader just
by saying that I liked the Dole pineapple whip
with any kind of rum.
You can get it with coconut rum,
you can get it with dark rum, depending on where you get it.
The Food and Wine Festival, again, features the pineapple
whip with coconut rum in Epcot.
Otherwise, you can always find it at the Polynesian
with dark rum, and you then you can also get it at
the Animal Kingdom, too, in their Tamu Tamu Lounge.
So there are a few places around the parks to find that.
- Interesting.
Okay, number one, I think you go.
- Me? Okay.
- Yeah I already did my number two,
right? - So my number one is
nothing special, but it's the first drink that I've had
in Disney, and so it's always gonna be my favorite.
It's just a strawberry daiquiri at
Beach Club Resort by the pool.
- I don't really like strawberry daiquiris.
(laughter)
- Number one, right?
- I like mango daiquiris, too.
- And everything's better in Disney, so,
that is my number one.
- How about you, what's your number one?
- My number one is actually your number three,
the Grand Marnier - Oh, really?
Orange Slush. Yeah.
You can't go wrong with it at the French Pavilion in Epcot.
It's a great setting and it's, to me,
a classic Disney drink.
It reminds me of childhood and sneaking sips, so.
- I think when you get a brain freeze from drinking too
many of those, I think you have a problem and I've got
a brain freeze from that before.
And it's like, you shouldn't get a brain freeze from
a alcohol drink.
- But it's so refreshing, especially if you're there during
the summer because it's really warm.
So having the frozen drink is great.
And it goes down just a little bit too easy.
You can't taste the alcohol in there.
So, it's good.
- So, again, like always,
we don't compare lists ahead of time.
My number one is y'all's number two.
I call it the, it's called a Frosty Pineapple,
it's sometimes called that, but it is the Dole whip.
And I just remember, I didn't realize, I knew that you
could have the alcohol at the resort, but a few years ago,
when we were at Animal Kingdom and I was running around
in hot blazes and got in line for Dole whip and got my
Dole whip and, ordered my Dole whip, and she goes
you want rum with that, and I was like,
"That's an option? Yes I do!
(laughter)
Of course I do!" And so that was fantastic.
I will tell you that the ones at Polynesian were better.
It's more of a drink, drinks not the word, but it's more
blended in with the Dole whip.
They give you the Dole whip and then they just dumping
rum on top of it, you gotta kind of stir it yourself.
The one at Polynesian's a lot better, I think.
But I haven't tried it with the coconut rum.
- It's good with the coconut rum if you like coconut rum.
More like a piña colada almost.
- But yeah, it's my favorite by far.
Dole whip is such an important part, I mean Dole whip is
fantastic on its own, such a Hawaiian thing.
Really cool at Polynesian to have that with a little bit
of dark rum in there, that's how I like it.
So anyway, next time you go to Disney World,
try out some of these.
I promise you you're gonna like 'em.
Thank y'all for doing this.
- Thank you! - Thank you.
- Hope y'all enjoy it. Bye.
