"Start your day at Animal Kingdom inside one of the best lounges on property. It’s tucked in a quiet part of the park near the entrance to Pandora and doesn’t take reservations, so you’ll need to join the walk-up list when you arrive. Nomad shares a kitchen with Tiffins, so the food—especially the tuna poke bowl and Land Salad, which features produce grown right in Epcot—isn’t an afterthought. For drinks, we like the fruity Lamu Libation with rum or the Boto-Rita with mezcal and guava puree." - Jacqueline Dole
"A relaxed Animal Kingdom lounge ideal for a mid-park break, offering a broad cocktail, beer, and wine menu alongside a small but high-quality food selection (mushroom bao buns, tuna bowls, the Tiffins bread service, churros), perfect for light bites and inventive drinks." - Elizabeth Rhodes Elizabeth Rhodes Elizabeth Rhodes is a senior editor at Travel + Leisure, covering everything from luxury hotels to theme parks to must-pack travel products.

"Since Animal Kingdom’s Avatar-themed expansion, the bar attached to Tiffins has become an ideal spot to take a load off. Grab a cocktail — Jenn’s Tattoo, a vodka-watermelon concoction, is perfect on hot Florida afternoons — and a round of fresh churros with chile-strawberry-guava sauce for the table." - Amanda Kludt

"A bartending-focused brand and shop widely praised by professionals for durable, well-designed barware; its Koriko weighted tin-on-tin shaking tins are often called the gold standard for their reliable seal, easy separation, and stability. Bartenders also recommend the company's Hawthorne and julep strainers (and their replacement springs) and its range of accessories. The brand offers curated sets—including spouted mixing glasses, weighted tins, Japanese jiggers, bar spoons, and strainers—in finishes like copper and gold, making it a popular one-stop source for practical, attractive home- and professional-bar kits." - Maxine Builder
