The Walt Disney World Resort offers a number of opportunities to experience snippets of different countries throughout the property. One such experience that does not require a park ticket is the dining at Raglan Road.
From the moment you cross the threshold, you are whisked away to the pubs and streets of Ireland. A meal at Raglan Road, located in Disney Springs, is a treat for each of your senses: the sounds of traditional and modern Irish Folk music; the feel of wood that has served as a landing spot of hospitality on two sides of the Atlantic; the sights of amazing footwork of the Irish step dancers; the smell of fresh fish and chips, bangers and mash, or shepherd’s pie; and the tastes of flights of beer from four of Ireland’s provinces. And be sure to leave room for dessert – the bread & butter pudding is legendary and mighty delicious!
Don’t let Raglan Road’s robust adult beverage list fool you; it is truly a family experience. During the 90-minute Rhythms of Raglan spectacle, your kiddos are invited to join the dancers–many of whom have toured with Riverdance–on stage for a little jig. Raglan Road offers a kids’ menu that includes chicken, fish, and mac & cheese.
Monday – Friday, Raglan Road opens at 10:00 a.m. for breakfast (10:00 AM-12:00 PM) and lunch and serves up authentic Irish cuisine and live entertainment until the night is well spent (be sure to check out their website to see who is playing when you plan to visit). On Saturday and Sunday, Raglan offers a brunch experience with a special menu, the in-house Irish band, and the Raglan Road Dancers. When the Disney Dining Plan is available, you can enjoy all that Raglan Road has to offer with just one meal plan credit.
To get to Disney Springs, you can take Disney transportation from any theme park or your Disney Resort Hotel. If you are staying at Old Key West or Saratoga Springs, you can walk to Disney Springs or take the water taxi. As a reminder, buses do not go from Disney Springs back to theme parks. If you are driving yourself to Disney Springs, complimentary parking is available in parking garages and surface lots.
You can’t help but feel a wee bit Irish, and have a ton of fun, when dining at Raglan Road. Oh yeah, the food is GOOD, too. It is, undoubtedly, worth a trip over to Disney Springs!
