Disney World Nightlife

There's always great stuff going on in the evenings at Disney Springs. There are kid-friendly dance parties at various times throughout the evening from 6:30 - 9:30PM. You can often find live performers scattered throughout Disney Springs and on the WaterSide Stage. There are also free sleight-of-hand demonstrations at the Magic Masters shop. You have to buy a ticket but the Characters in Flight Aerophile is a neat experience.  Folks are loving the new Splitsville Luxury Lanes for shooting pool, bowling, and meeting for a drink.

Raglan Road - This pub opened in October 2005 and has become a favorite. Four antique bars were imported from Ireland and great attention was given to the furnishings and trim to give this restaurant a classic Irish pub ambiance. Irish musicians (traditional and contemporary) entertain nightly and the music, dance, and storytelling keep things fun and lively. See Raglan Road Official Website for more details.
