The longest-running show at Disney has hardly changed over the decades. The beloved Pioneer Hall Players—a group of Wild West singers, dancers, and comedians—perform romantic ballads, corny tunes, and slapstick. It's old-fashioned family fun you'll sing and clap along to while chowing down on barbecued ribs, fried chicken, corn on the cob, strawberry shortcake, and all the fixin's. Unlimited beverages include beer, wine, and sangria. Tickets are available up to 180 days in advance so plan as far ahead as possible.

A stylish, refined alcove named after Florida Renaissance architect Addison Mizner is tucked away at the far end of the Grand Floridian's second-floor lobby. It's a tasteful low-key getaway where you can unwind with a glass of champagne, a martini, or a Manhattan while listening to a live jazz band. The extensive drink menu includes multiple single-malt Scotch whiskies and after-dinner cognacs and ports.

Inside the high-end restaurant is a bar that serves ordinary beer in expensive yard glasses, along with some exclusive and tasty cocktails. The porch-side views of the Seven Seas Lagoon, the nightly Electrical Water Pageant, and the Magic Kingdom fireworks are worth the premium you pay.

This popular luau features an outdoor barbecue with colorful South Pacific–style entertainment.

The frontier theme here honors the Corps of Discovery (look overhead for a Lewis and Clark Expedition trail map). Between drinks, check out the surveying equipment, daguerreotypes, parka mittens, maps, and what the lounge claims is a pair of Teddy Roosevelt's boots.
