What would happen if your favorite Disney heroes opened their own bars? We're diving deep into this imaginative concept, crafting 16 uniquely themed watering holes that capture the essence of beloved Disney characters.

Journey with us to "The Agrabah Oasis" where Aladdin's bar transforms from bustling marketplace by day to luxurious Arabian palace by night. Sip a Magic Carpet Mule with spiced fig vodka or venture to Elsa's "Arendelle Ice Bar" where periodic snowfalls accompany your Let It Glow cocktail with edible glitter. Imagine the steampunk styling of Captain Nemo's "Nautilus Dive Bar" with portholes offering underwater views, or the hushed ambiance of Flynn Rider's "Snuggly Duckling Underground" where secluded booths are perfect for scheming over a Smolder mezcal cocktail.

We've meticulously crafted signature drink menus for each location—from Pride Rock Lounge's "Hakuna Mojito" with baobab fruit to Hercules' "Underworld Old Fashioned" served flaming. Every bar features unique entertainment elements, like the storytellers at Simba's savanna-view lounge or the automated robot service at Baymax's San Fransokyo establishment.

Tiana's "Bayou and Bourbon" brings celebrity chef flair to New Orleans cocktails, while the Avengers-themed "Avenging Pour" rewards groups ordering different drinks with a special collectible pin. Our Seven Dwarfs' "Gemstone Tap" even serves Dopey's specially brewed Mineshaft Stout with edible shimmer!

Ready for the ultimate Disney hero bar crawl? Pour yourself something magical and join us as we blend Disney storytelling with creative mixology in this spirited exploration of what could be. Which hero's bar would you visit first?

Here's who we are and what is in store for you 

Speaker 1:

Hello and welcome to Cheers to Ears, where today we're taking a trip to San Fransokyo for the drink At Disney's California Adventure. At Rita's Turbine Blenders we're having the Rita's Grand Margarita on the rocks. And check out all these ingredients Aaron Gold, tequila and a splash of orange liqueur for $17.

Speaker 2:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

How did we do this?

Speaker 2:

We did. It has two ounces of Jose Cuerva Reposado tequila, a splash of Cointreau, it might have like an ounce, and then I did put in some lime, fresh lime juice, because you kind of have to, I think. I think it's delicious. So theirs, I believe, is just a mix, yeah, and then they're just blended. Of course it is, ours is on the rocks, ours is a little different, but a margarita for the most part is a margarita. You know, the quality goes up when the cost of the ingredients goes up. Oh weird. So the signature Breezy Marg had expensive tequila, cointreau and all that, and it was a very good margarita, even though I don't think we use expensive tequila at all.

Speaker 1:

We probably did. We're pretty classy, sure.

Speaker 2:

Sure, whatever you want to tell yourself. So, but this one, it's a good margarita.

Speaker 1:

It's good, it's good. We're really delving in the world of margaritas lately.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, well, that was when we were coming up with these drink ideas. I realized we'd only done one margarita in a year, right, unacceptable.

Speaker 1:

Uh-huh, that's actually a little tart, it is once in a while when you get that right lime. Yeah, I think I got a little piece of lime there yeah, it's very good though yes, very good we're having on the rocks today on a hot day sitting out in san francisco, I think it'd be pretty good. Yeah, or anywhere else in california it does get pretty hot down there in san francisco with all the people. It's so crowded. Yeah, it is. It's just a food haven down there.

Speaker 2:

They have 9,000 tables and they're always all full Right, except for one, right, yeah, because there's zero rides.

Speaker 1:

all restaurants, it's just yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

So why are we at San Fransokyo? Well, let me tell you, Aaron.

Speaker 1:

Okay, today we're discussing Disney hero bars. So if Disney heroes opened a bar, what would it look like? What would the name be, what would the decor look like and what kind of drinks would they serve?

Speaker 2:

most importantly, oh yeah, now one thing, because, again, we don't discuss this beforehand, as we say every week, although I did send you my list so that we didn't do two. Right, we didn't overlap. Did you pick where your these?

Speaker 1:

bars would be at, not at all okay, I did okay.

Speaker 2:

No, it came to me like I think, after, after we had chatted okay, no, I just have bars.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, they could be anywhere. They could be anywhere in the park or anywhere. They could even be in their fantasy world of their fictional movies. Oh, okay, it could be anywhere, right, but it'd be cooler if it was in Fantasyland. Yeah, that'd be a lot cooler right Mine are Some of them. Yeah, anyway, there we are. So that's the only difference we have, then, because, yeah, we have everything else. Eight bars apiece, eight bars apiece, eight heroes apiece, and here we go. What's your first one Go?

Speaker 2:

The Agrabah Oasis. It's inspired by Aladdin, okay, the hero of that story. It's in the Morocco Pavilion. They have all kinds of wasted space. They might as well put a bar in there. So the featured drinks are the Magic Carpet Mule, which has spiced fig, vodka, ginger beer, lime and mint. The Cave of Wonders, old-fashioned date-infused bourbon, bitters and orange, and the Sultan Sunset blood, orange liqueur, hibiscus syrup and prosecco. Okay, so I think mine mostly have. I have three drinks per feature drinks and you know they're always going to have a little extra this and that, and beers and whatnot yeah, I went exactly through drinks with all mine, okay so the theming elements it's's going to be Moroccan.

Speaker 2:

You know the lighting and the seating. You know you're going to be on cushions on the floor for the most part, if you want. There are some that are more bench style because not everybody's going to want to get on the floor. But the cool thing about this particular bar is during the day it has an open-air market vibe to it. Oh, okay, so a little more hustle-bustle, noise, things like that. And at night it kind of transforms. So it's open like during the middle of the day, from lunch to about 4. But then it transforms, the lighting transforms and they kind of have it all set up as a decor. So in the evening it's more like a lavish palace, like Arabian Nights yeah, arabian Nights, I like that. It has a different feel. So it gets people coming back during the day when they want to do the open-air market and get a drink, all of that. And you know, maybe there's some hawker stalls going on, things like that of that sort. But at night it's just a chill, lavish palace seating and you know that's cool.

Speaker 1:

There's no hookah bars, but they wish they could be it would be cool if you had a transformation show in between, where the Song Arabian Nights played and the whole place transformed into the nighttime.

Speaker 2:

That would be cool, or people who were waiting could see it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah Right, that would be the optimal time to get a table in between the two In between the two Right when it changes yeah. You could have it table in between the two, in between the right when it changes. Yeah, you can have a like right in between so you have a special, like a special event kind of thing, yeah, where you pay a special price to get in during that time and it lets you it lets you see, the transformation, the transformation.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's a good idea. So I don't have any like I didn't include any food or bites to eat or anything like that. I did not anywhere. It's mostly about the drinks.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, there's bites everywhere. There's snack food ever. All these places have bar type food that would go with some of the drinks. Yeah, so that's my first one. Okay, wait, how about your? Oh, you already said the drinks. Yes, everything. So you're done, I'm done. Okay, now you get my first, yours.

Speaker 1:

My first is Prince Philip from Sleeping Beauty. Okay, okay, it's called the Enchanted Draught. Okay, and it has a castle ambiance, with art depicting the epic battle with Maleficent and random woodland animals delivering snacks. Okay, okay, my drinks are the Dragon Breath IPA oh, it's a slightly smoky ale. Mmm, sounds good. The Kiss of True Love it's a gin cocktail With a mist of fairy dust. Just misted on top. Just misted, right the Spindle Shot An espresso vodka drink that will never put you to sleep. Just missed it on top. Just missed it. Right the Spindle Shot An espresso vodka drink that will never put you to sleep.

Speaker 1:

Okay, okay, and the Once Upon a Wine. It's a village red wine aged since the beginning, since the breaking of the curse. The last one is the Once Upon a Wine. It's a vintage red wine aged since the breaking of the curse.

Speaker 2:

Oh, that's a long time.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Sure it hasn't turned into vinegar. Let's hope not, for the prices they're charging, right, okay, so that's my first one. My second one, the Pride Rock Lounge, inspired by Simba from the Lion King. Pride Rock Lounge, that's a good name. It's a Savannah-style open-air lounge at Animal Kingdom Lodge, jumbo House. Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2:

Featured drinks the Circle of Life Sangria, of course, roibus tea, red wine, african spices and fruits. I like this, but like African. So star fruit, yeah, stuff you would find there. I think star fruit is found in Africa. I could be completely wrong there. Well, anyway, the Hakuna, mojito, bobab Fruit, puree, mint and Rum Okay, that actually sounds pretty good. And Simba's Sunrise Amarula, mango, nectar and Grenadine. Okay, so those are my drinks and it fits with just the whole theme of Animal Kingdom Lodge. But it's open air, it overlooks the savanna and at first I was going to have random breaking out of singing along the songs, but I thought that would disturb the animals. So this is a more quiet, subdued bar. Of course, the African theming and everything like that, but the little extra that they have is they have a storyteller.

Speaker 1:

I was just going to ask if you're going to have a storytelling. I was just going to ask that. That was my follow-up question.

Speaker 2:

Darn it. So they have. Just throughout the night someone will sit there and tell stories, like traditional folk stories from Africa, or potentially talking about the drinks and maybe history of that, but just a storyteller.

Speaker 1:

Oh, here's going. True stories, yes, so I was thinking fake stories in africa told by timon and pumba, like real stories with their little twist yes right, a timon, timon and pumba twist. Have you watched the live action? Yes, the new one. Have you watched the new one? Yeah, where timon and pumba are telling the story, but they get it all wrong. They get it all wrong they get it all wrong.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, okay, and I thought about a little more hamming it up, but because it's on the Savannah out back there, I needed everything to stay subdued. Okay, that's why it's not. It's just, it's a calm, relaxing atmosphere.

Speaker 1:

Interesting. Yeah, so so far, as far as drinks go, the Pride Rock one is my favorite one. That's the one I'm ordering so far. Okay, so I'll tell you if anyone beats it. Okay, as you go along, I'm going to pick my favorite drink that you tell me. So that's your second one. That was my second one. My second one is called the Bellin Hearth. Okay, the Bellin Hearth it's Quasim, the bell and hearth it's quasimodo, from hunchback and notre dame. Ah, okay, it has a stained glass when stained glass windows and a large bell that rings on the hour. Okay, is the main. It has a like a dungeon vibe, right?

Speaker 1:

the whole place that's kind of the vibe you you can picture it. Yeah right, my main drinks are the gargoyle grog. It's hearty, dark ale with chestnuts and clove. It's very dark all the way around and spicy.

Speaker 2:

That just sounds really interesting.

Speaker 1:

It sounds interesting. Yeah, the Sanctuary Sangria. Okay, I thought of a sangria all the time. I tried to stay away from them as I kept going I was like, oh, I have a sangria Because they're easy. Yes, this is red wine with pomegranate, cinnamon and a dash of orange bitters and the bell ringer's brew. It's just a smooth coffee stout, like a hard stout. I like that for a dungeon. I like a stout. I've been a stout and a porter are just a good. I like them in the summer and winter.

Speaker 2:

See, and they're normally like a good winter beer.

Speaker 1:

Right, I'm a big summer porter fan. Lately I'm a stout. I'll order them. Yeah, christy just mentioned the other day Thank you, christy that I've been ordering quite a few. When we go out to eat, I'll order a stout or a porter. There's a good one on the menu. They just taste so good. They're complex, they have more of a vibe to them.

Speaker 2:

I used to order a lot of stouts and porters, but since Widmer got rid of their snowplow stout, which was a milk stout, which was by far the best stout ever ever created by man, yeah, I just haven't had it in me to really get into them like I used to, but occasionally I still do Okay. So my third one Are you all done? Yep, done Okay? The Arendelle Ice Bar, inspired by Elsa from Frozen. I like the ice bar. That's good, so of course it's the Norway Pavilion in Epcot. Feature drinks the Let it Glow, vodka, blue curacao, edible glitter and dry ice. So it'll create that I like that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's a good drink. Okay, so I wanted to include the numbing buttons from yes. And I can't remember the name of them.

Speaker 1:

now we talk about them all the time too, because we've got to order them. We haven't done it. We want to try it.

Speaker 2:

It's a flower, but I wanted to include that so that your lips go numb while drinking something, because I thought that would be appropriate. But I couldn't really fit it in any of these drinks Olaf's Colada, coconut cream, pineapple, vanilla, vodka, snowflake garnish Okay, the Frozen Heart, martini, pomegranate liqueur, vodka, crystal, sugar rim. And I did throw a fourth one in here, marshmallow, because I wanted marshmallow to have one to have a drink after him. So the marshmallow brandy sour, so brandy being a drink that warms you up.

Speaker 1:

I wanted a brandy-based drink.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, brandy, lemon juice, simple syrup and Angostura bitters is how that's made. Now, of course, it's all blue light, ice-looking ice. You know icicles, things like that. Your chairs look like an ice throne. I like that. That you sit on. But what's really cool about this bar is, every once in a while, you know how the Frozen show, the Frozen sing-along, the snow falls at the end. Every once in a while, that snow starts falling from the ceiling.

Speaker 1:

This is a good bar. It costs a lot to run it. Yes, I mean you're, yeah, you're.

Speaker 2:

Just every once in a while you get snow flurries as you're sitting there having your drink. Yeah, that's a good idea, but that's that's that. The Arendelle Ice Bar. I like the ice bar.

Speaker 1:

And of course there would be ice wines available there?

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, they would just have to be.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, is it like a selection where?

Speaker 2:

you can like pour your own. Oh, I didn't even think about that.

Speaker 1:

An ice wine bar. You know you used to have those things where you put you had like credits.

Speaker 2:

Yes, and it would do like a one ounce or a two ounce. Yeah, you get as much as you wanted. It could go for something like that. Sorry, I ask a lot of follow-up questions out here Because you're like, oh, I want to go there, right, it doesn't have that, yeah, does it have that? Yeah, it doesn't exist, aaron, it's not real.

Speaker 1:

It is. If I find it, no matter how much you want, how do you know? You haven't looked for it.

Speaker 2:

Yet these are we're going to. This is the one danger of this episode that I thought. We're going to come up with bars and we're going to be like, okay, disney, why don't you have these bars? These are great ideas.

Speaker 1:

Right, like this new bar, mount Porolympus. Okay, it's a Hercules bar. All right, this is a good bar. It has marble pillars etched with images of Hercules. Okay, it has Pegasus-themed bar stools and animated statues that give you high fives when you walk by. Oh, isn't that cool, very cool, right, and a large neon sign, huge neon sign that says go the distance, dot, dot, dot responsibly. This is one of my favorite bars because of the drinks too. Yeah, has the hero's highball. Okay, bourbon, campari, sweet vermouth and a hint of lightning zest. Nice, right, the Pegasus Punch. Okay, it's a blue tropical cocktail that kicks you like a flying horse and the Underworld. Old Fashioned. This is a really good drink. I want to try this. It's a smoky, old Fashioned with pomegranate bitters and it's served flaming.

Speaker 2:

Oh, Hades style yeah.

Speaker 1:

Can I get an Old Fashioned Hades style please?

Speaker 2:

I wonder, if they have, if they could do it with blue flames. Oh no, that'd be great. That would make it perfect for Hades.

Speaker 1:

Let's pour some blue carousel in a cup and light it on fire after this yeah, see what happens, see if it burns. Sorry, christy, that is the Mount Cor Olympus bar.

Speaker 2:

Okay, my next one, the Lost Boys Hideout. Okay, inspired by Peter Pan, you went Lost Boys with it. I like that. Yeah, so it's a treehouse speakeasy. So it looks like a big treehouse but it's kind of the speakeasy. Okay, step a feel to it. I had trouble where to place this because of course, peter Pan's ride is in Fantasyland but I already have another bar that I put into Fantasyland. Yeah, it didn't quite fit Adventureland. Well, I thought about not at the parks at all. Maybe this one's at Caribbean Beach Resort.

Speaker 1:

Oh, a resort, I like that, yeah. Or on one of the ships, that. Or A fake tree in the middle, oh yeah, of a Disney Cruise Line, I didn't even think about that.

Speaker 2:

So anyway, it's got to be. It's not in a park, but it's somewhere else. So the featured drinks are Pixie Dust Punch, which is guava, rum, citrus and edible glitter. Okay, the Tinker Tonic, which is cucumber, gin, elderflower tonic and glowing ice cubes. I like that Hook's Poison smoky scotch, black cherry liqueur and pepper bitters.

Speaker 1:

Well, that's my favorite one so far.

Speaker 2:

So you know the theming elements. It's all a tree, but the entrance is a sliding tree trunk. Oh, that's cool. So you have to kind of know where to go. And it looks like a tree trunk, but you have to know how to find the door there, no-transcript. But the bartenders here's the cool thing. Okay, bartenders, half of them are dressed up as the lost boys. Oh, the other half are dressed up as pirates. I like that. And every once in a while they break out in a mock sword fight. Love this as just entertainment. Yeah, they just kind of go at it and everybody cheers for their side. Who they want, because it's what it is is half of it is lost boys, half of it is pirates, and then, like on occasion, they bump into each other and it starts a big battle between the two and it goes on for a couple minutes as entertainment and then you go back to drinking and everybody cheers. But yeah, the entertainment factor of that I love this place.

Speaker 1:

I have zero follow-ups. Okay, okay, because I want to go here. Yes, I want to go to there.

Speaker 2:

Okay, your next one.

Speaker 1:

Well, mine is Tarzan, okay, and it's called the Jungle Vine Okay, it's a jungle tiki bar infusion.

Speaker 2:

Oh, okay, okay.

Speaker 1:

But, like you just said, mine's built around a massive tree and that's okay. When you said that, I thought okay, but it has rope bridges that connect the different parts of the bar. Oh, that's cool. Drink at your own risk.

Speaker 2:

They would have to limit the drink. Can you imagine people falling off?

Speaker 1:

I was thinking outside a waiver waiver. So it's a huge. It goes up, there's layers. So my drinks are the Ape Escape. It's a rum punch Served in a coconut, a hollowed out coconut, with banana liqueur. Ooh Okay. The Tree Top Toddy. It's a warm, spicy drink With honey, citrus and a splash of whiskey. Oh okay, ooh, that sounds tasty. That sounds pretty good, doesn't it? And the Vine Swinger. The Vine Swinger is a refreshing cucumber mint drink served with edible flowers and a vine garnish. I don't know what that even means, a vine garnish. I thought it was just like part of a vine. You stick it in the drink.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'm trying to think of what kind of vines. I'm really kind of going with this one, okay, yeah, how to get a vine in there.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's a vine garnish, or does it just?

Speaker 2:

swirl around the bottom.

Speaker 1:

It probably swirls on it and you don't like if it has, if you get one. So it's many different vines, I guess. Yes, right, and you got to watch out because it could be a thorny vine. You got to watch out for that, yes, so you don't want to eat that one? No, you would not, right, some are edible, some aren't. You never know.

Speaker 2:

Who knows? Tarzan just taking a risk.

Speaker 1:

Learning with the monkey. He flies from tree to tree. I mean he raised a risk taker. Monkey dead Right.

Speaker 2:

That's my next one. Monkey dead, not good vine. We have two more, I have five, six and seven and eight.

Speaker 1:

No, we're only halfway through. Yeah, we have four more.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so mine is the Baymax Bodega inspired by Big Hero 6. So, seeing as how we're in San Fransokyo, this is where it would go San Fransokyo in DCA. Okay, so maybe an upstairs bar in one of those buildings or something.

Speaker 1:

Like I said earlier, we need more bars and food in San Fransokyo.

Speaker 2:

Maybe a bar that empties out someplace else, I don't know. So the featured drinks healthcare companion cooler, which is lychee sake, soda and mint. Oh, that does not sound good? No, it doesn't. No. Microbot Manhattan Japanese whiskey, black sesame bitters, I'd try that that would be.

Speaker 1:

That's not my favorite, though it would. I'd try that that would be. That's not my favorite, though.

Speaker 2:

It would be interesting to try. Yes, and the San Fransokyo sour Yuzu, bourbon, egg white and neon foam, oh, yeah, I'm not going there.

Speaker 1:

I mean, this isn't my favorite one.

Speaker 2:

No, so this is not necessarily the drinks, it's the ambiance type of thing aspect of it. Okay, tell us about that. So there are no bartenders, technically, no human bartenders. Oh, good one, you're robot bartending it. So you're sitting at your table and you say hey Disney or hey Baymax or whatever it is, and it pops up and you order through ai and it sends in your order and then a robot comes out with your order, opens up and delivers your drinks so you don't have a robot bartenders mixing it for you, mixing it for you up and I well, what it?

Speaker 2:

what it would be is it's all pre-mix. It's kind of the problem you're pre-mixing it and so it pours out your, you know, your ice and your drink all automated, automated, that's the whole thing. It's all automated and it's of course it's looking like San Fransokyo, that type of bar and stuff. The catch is is it's the. There's no humans, it's all automated AI, san Fransokyo style. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so this makes me want to watch Big Hero 6 again. Is what you just did, yeah, yeah, so this makes me want to watch Big Hero 6 again. Is what you just did. Yeah, just talking about it, because it's such an underrated movie in my opinion. Yes, it's very, very, very, very good.

Speaker 2:

It took me a long time to actually get around to watching it.

Speaker 1:

And it's just not talked about like it's very, very, very, very good. You know what I mean. No, I love this one. Okay, my next one. Now, it's kind of you'd think it's the easy route going with Tiana, right, because she's a foodie anyway. Yeah Right, sounding easy. New Orleans, yeah Right. But I'm a big fan of some of the celebrity chefs I used to watch on Food Network when I was younger. I like Emeril O'Keefe, but my favorite was Bobby Flay.

Speaker 2:

Really, I love Bobby Flay. Oh, he was the one I liked the least, really. In fact, his show beat Bobby Flay. Yeah, that's later.

Speaker 1:

Bobby Flay.

Speaker 2:

But see that I was like I'm up for that because I wanted them to beat Bobby Flay, like literally beat him because he was so annoying. Oh, I don't find him annoying at all.

Speaker 1:

I love the way he cooks. I love his restaurants. I've been to a few of them. Yeah, just delicious food, oh, I'm sure it is just great. So he has a lot of like by bob, like mesa grills his main, okay, his main thing in arizona, right, great food, oh, great place. But he has other like burgers by bobby flay, uh-huh, right, stuff like that, right. So that's what inspired me with kiana. So this is called bayou and bourbon. The whole name of it is bayou and bourbon, a bar by beat by tiana that's the name of it right, so she's already a celebrity chef.

Speaker 1:

Okay, this is her celebrity bar, her celebrity bayou and bourbon, a bar by tiana. Right, so it's the heart of the french quarter. Okay, this place has a location actually. Yes, with the best music all day long. Yeah, it's always playing great music, all different artists, all different genres. It's not just jazz, just all different stuff in there. It's all great stuff. It's just people stop by. They're going to play in Louisiana sometime, and it could be any artist that just pops in there and and plays yeah.

Speaker 1:

I like that All day long. It's an upscale southern cocktail bar meets a jazzy speakeasy. Nice, this is a good place. Yeah, her main drinks are the Bayou Belle Okay, it's bourbon peach and sweet tea served in a highball with a mint sprig.

Speaker 2:

Okay, I would really like that. Okay, this bar actually sounds like my favorite bar of all of them that we've mentioned. Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

It's my kind of bar too, because you know my Southern food. Yeah, yeah, I love, love Southern food. The Shadow Manhattan. Okay, it's a dark cherry rye Ooh, kind of like the cherry bourbon we had, yeah, but it's a rye right With a dash of absinthe. Okay, just boom right.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's like old-fashioned kind of Okay, okay, I'm picking up what you're laying down.

Speaker 1:

And then a dessert drink the beignet teeny. Okay, this is a dessert cocktail.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

With Tini. Okay, this is a dessert cocktail. Yeah, with vanilla vodka, right, vanilla vodka cream liqueur and a powdered sugar rim. Ooh, those are my drinks.

Speaker 2:

Now can you get follow-up question? Can you get beignets there?

Speaker 1:

That would have to be one of the snacks you have. I mean, I almost did that, but I didn't want to go into food.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, because then you just it's a rabbit trail.

Speaker 1:

Right, I could see beignets. I could see some like candy pecans, like warm candy pecans.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, served at your table. I could see like muffaletta sliders.

Speaker 1:

Yeah For heavier food. I was eating snacks just to have like hand snacks to have with your beverage yeah, but sliders, yeah.

Speaker 2:

You get a couple of them. Sliders would be good yeah.

Speaker 1:

But maybe mini beignets, yes, right, like half the size, bite-sized beignets, right, you get like five of them at a time and they're served to your table. You just snack on them as you're drinking. Nice, all just like handheld bite-sized things. All just like handheld bite-sized things. I'm there.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I'm there, and of course it's got to either be at Riverside or French Quarter.

Speaker 1:

I like it there too, That'd be great, wouldn't it Either or? Wouldn't it be great at a resort.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, I mean, it has to be there. If you had one also at Disneyland, of course, in the French Quarter.

Speaker 1:

It would have to be next to her, yeah, or down that little street by when all the jewelry and crystal and all that stuff that would be cool, just kind of tucked away, tucked away in there. I like tucked away.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, well, because if it's almost like a speakeasy type of thing, yeah, that type of feel, hey, good, oh, I like that one, nice, that one. I'm thinking about that one. My next one, the Snuggly Duckling Underground, oh, inspired by Flynn Rider. So this is a basement bar, okay, so I had it in the fantasy lands of both Disneyland and Magic Kingdom. It's a franchise, yeah, it's a franchise. It's one that actually makes both, but it has to be underground and you go down all the before I get into the drinks. Now it's like treasure maps on the wall and you know it's, it's feeling, I don't know medieval, like that movie, like Fantasyland, but booths that are kind of contained so that when you're making your plans, your schemes, other people can't hear you, right, yeah?

Speaker 1:

I like that.

Speaker 2:

So it's just very kind of secluded seating where it's not all open and it's really loud. It's just one of those where hushed tones, you know, that's the whole vibe. Is that? I like that, that Like scheming? Yes, so the drinks, the smolder? Oh, because he has a smolder. Look, he does, he gives. Yes.

Speaker 1:

We just both for those who are listening. We both just gave the exact smolder look.

Speaker 2:

Look at each other, which had no effect. Thank you, christy. So smoked mezcal, amaro, blood orange and fire roasted cinnamon. Ooh yeah, that's a good drink, and then it's served. Now, if you order this one, so like when you order the back scratcher, you get a back scratcher, this one gets a singed treasure map coaster.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that that comes with that particular drink. Oh, that's cool. So the stolen crown cider, spiced apple cider, bourbon, gold luster dust and clove foam, and it's topped with a gold edible coin. And the wanted rider, the Wanted Rider, ry-der. So rye whiskey, black tea syrup, lemon peel with an absinthe rinse, oh nice, yeah. So Wanted posters, of course, up all around as well, and all of that, yeah. So I think I've got this one had a lot, lot of. I put a lot of other notes in there, but it's. It's gonna have some music like mandolins and things like that, but all of it is geared towards drowning out your voices so that your plans are not heard.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, all about scheming, scheming, seclusions yeah, like that. Good time, it's a good bar. Good drinks too. Yeah, I like this. My next one is stitch. I thought I would take the okay, recent curve of stitch, the live action, which I still haven't gotten to see. Thank you, eli, I could. This is simply ohana the bar. Okay, because Ohana means family.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, right, even though they already have an Ohana.

Speaker 1:

It's not the bar, not the bar. They have an Ohana's, they do. It's an intergalactic tiki bar, oh, oh.

Speaker 2:

A fusion bar yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yes, this is a pretty cool bar, nice. The walls are covered in surfboards and graffiti, with lava lamps, laser lights and glow-in-the-dark menus Cool, very cool. Yeah, the main drinks are the Blender Mayhem. It's a fruity rum slushie with an unpredictable color and flavor. Sometimes it contains pop rocks, nice, so you just don't know what it's going to look like or taste like. You just order it. Nice, the Elvis on the Beach. The Elvis on the Beach is coconut whiskey, banana liqueur, pineapple juice with a bacon garnish. Okay, okay, and the Badness Level 6. I went Badness instead of what I was going to put. It's a very strong drink with blue carousel fireball and a glowing space cube. Those are the drinks. Nice, it's a glowy intergalactic. They're thinking about opening a second one, actually in space.

Speaker 2:

Next to like Space 220?.

Speaker 1:

Right, yeah, yes, exactly, that's funny, okay. Okay, your next one.

Speaker 2:

Okay, I went a little old school here. Okay, the Nautilus Dive Bar inspired by 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, wow. So back with our Tomorrowland episode, which is our number one episode for downloads.

Speaker 1:

Oddly enough.

Speaker 2:

Thank you everyone, because we ripped on Tomorrowland. How much it sucks. So my thinking is Tomorrowland needs to go and I think I I mentioned it there more of a retro theming, so, and they have the like. I think the, the, the, whatever the submarine ride there needs to go away. But you can replace it with my bar, so it is a, but it would be a bar that you walk in and it feels like you're walking into a submarine, but with steampunk styling. Oh, I like that. So, 20,000 leagues under the sea, steampunk styling, but it feels like you're walking into a sub submarine. Granted, it would be a very big submarine, but porthole windows, you know, but porthole windows with like a fish tank on the outside. So all you're looking at is like fish swimming by and whatnot.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

So the drinks? Captain Nemo's Nightcap. So smoked gin, black tea syrup and lemon peel, the Kraken's Grasp. So there would be a lot of Kraken rum used in a lot of their drinks, I believe. So dark spice rum, a squid ink cordial, an activated charcoal salt rim.

Speaker 1:

Interesting.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so the Nautilus Negronin Campari vermouth gin and a charred orange slice.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they also have the signature drink the diver's helmet. It comes out. It's a bowl that comes out looking like a diver's helmet. It's like for two to four people to drink out of. You know, you can get a small diver's helmet or a big diver's helmet. Okay, drink out of, you can get a small diver's helmet or a big diver's helmet Some sort of cocktail, but it's just a big one that you share with everybody. That's the whole idea is that it just feels retro, tomorrowland, the steampunk idea, but it's playing off of Captain Nemo 20,000 Leagues Under under the sea. I like that. Yeah, it's interesting. So, because I want to bring, I like old disney ip and I think they should do more, if they redid that one, I'd be happy with it yeah you know they kind of did that with that one with uh what's his name was in I don't know where you're following here.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I can't even remember the name of the actor, james Bond, james Bond, the original James Bond, sean Connery. He was in it and it had all of these, the gentlemen, something. Oh see, now it's just going to drive me nuts. I might have to just erase all of this, but it had Captain Nemo and the Nautilus was in that movie, okay. And it had Alan Quartermain, not the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Yes, okay, that's what it was League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. So he was in that, but anyway, it has to. Yeah, I like that Tomorrowland, but how they thought it was going to be and I think that's what they should be doing with Tomorrowland how they thought, because it's really hard to create a Tomorrowland that doesn't age itself out in a few years, right, that's why they should go retro, a retro Tomorrowland of how they thought the future would look. Right, and I think a steampunk Nautilus bar would be really cool with that. That's cool, okay go ahead.

Speaker 1:

My next one, which you said before we did this. She wasn't an actual hero, but I put Ariel. Yeah, I chose Ariel. It's called the Siren Sip, okay, and it has seashell walls. Right, I see, I'm picturing it Seashell walls, jellyfish, chandeliers and a splash of underwater royalty. That's what it has. Okay, that's the ambiance. The drinks are part of your world martini, okay, vodka, blue carousel and a pearl sugar rim, oh, and then Ursula's Ink, it's a dark blackberry drink with absinthe and a shimmer and a kick, with a shimmer and a kick. I don't know what that is, just a shimmer and a kick.

Speaker 2:

Absinthe and blackberry Like blackberry brandy. Yeah, blackberry brandy, okay, in a martini glass, would it? Have vodka too. It could, yeah, Because I mean, if you have, I would think a martini has to have either vodka or gin. In my mind It'd have to be a mix, anyway, well, it's in a martini glass. It's a cocktail. It's a cocktail, I suppose. So it's called Ursula's Ink, okay, as. I'm messing with your drinks here, don't mess with my drinks man.

Speaker 1:

So then I went with the simple Sea Witch Sangria, okay, which has its ocean. Blue wine, okay, fresh tropical fruit and edible starfish gummies, okay, not my best bar, as I was getting very hungry at the end of this and I really want. I think six would have been a good good number of bars, but I added two because you had eight so is this your eighth?

Speaker 2:

this is it. Did you start or did I start? You don't have one more, I have one more, you have one more. Okay, so mine is the Avenging Poor, inspired by the Avengers. It's a whole group.

Speaker 1:

Okay. Oh, that's right, you have a group too. Yeah, I did a group also because of you.

Speaker 2:

So mine would be at Hollywood Studios. It would have to fit in somewhere there, not in avengers campus. I mean, you could put it in avengers campus, but there's already kind of a bar there there's campus isn't in hollywood studios no, it's at dca. Oh, you're so you're saying you could go dca also.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but there's a great bar there.

Speaker 2:

I like that bar yeah, I think it was tasty, great, and I don't think you put two bars in one lane, uh-oh. So that's kind of why, and I couldn't think of a hotel to put it in or a resort. So anyway, the Avenging Pour inspired by the Avengers Feature drinks the Stark and Stormy. Oh good one. Dark rum, ginger beer, iron citrus foam.

Speaker 2:

Iron citrus foam I like that. The Mjolnir Mule, hammer-crushed ice, vodka and Nordic berries oh, I like the hammer-crushed ice. And the Super Serum Shot Flight. Three-layered colorful shooters named Cap, widow and Hulk I like that. So a blue one, a red one and a green oh, I'd order that. Yeah, that'd be popular. So the theme in, of course, avengers, but the bar counter. So the bar where they mix everything would be round and the edge of it. If you were to look down on it, it would look like the edge of Cap's shield.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

So it would be like a metal bar at the edge of his shield and then the wallpaper it's comic book panels and whatnot, but with it almost has a sports bar feel, but instead it might show clips of avengers movies or briefings from nick fury or Phil you know, coming and giving instructions what needs to happen next.

Speaker 2:

I like that Just playing throughout the day, the coolest part, and this is what I think is going to hook you. So if you go in with a group of six or more and, granted, I gave three cocktails, they're of course going to have more of six or more. Okay, and granted, I gave three cocktails, they're of course going to have more. If you come in with a group of six or more and you all order a different cocktail, the bartender, who has like either mjolnir, the, the hammer or maybe a shield or something like it, holds it up and she yells out avengers. And everybody at the table yells out assemble, okay, okay, because you all have ordered different drinks. You are the Avengers, avengers, assemble. You've got all six people, six different drinks and the table receives a special, and this is the only way you can get it a special pin, a pin, avengers pin.

Speaker 1:

I knew you were going to say a pin. Yes, for each person. The table gets to no. Just one, just one.

Speaker 2:

You're going to fight over it. So at most you get like two because if you have a couple of drinks or something like that, so but see, one person, like if we went in a group you would probably get the pin because you would be the one trying to corral everybody to get them to go to do the Avengers Assemble yell for this drink. But that is the hook of getting a big group of people to order different drinks and to be at this bar Bartender or the waitress, the waiter yells out Avengers and then the whole table yells out Assemble and then you get your drinks and you get a special pin for it. That's cool.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's awesome. Have you seen the Avengers restaurant on the cruise lines? I have not. It's called the Worlds of Marvel. Oh, and it's a restaurant on the Disney Destiny, the Disney Treasure and the Disney Wish. It's kind of an interactive experience restaurant. Oh, okay, it's really cool. You should look it up. I will do that now. Or we could just go on a cruise, or we could go on a cruise.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, if I don't screw it up like I did the last one.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we could just go on a cruise on Wish, treasure and whatever I just said, but we're going into the three cruise lines and then we can do that. So, last one, my last one, seven Dwarves, seven Dwarves, because you picked a bunch of people. Yes, I picked a bunch of people too. And they're heroes of the story. They're heroes. It's called the Gemstone Tap Mm-hmm. It's built into a hill with carved timber and gem-inlaid decor.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I like it, and the main drinks are the Mineshaft Stout. Ooh, that sounds good. It's a dark, hearty beer with earthy notes and an edible shimmer. Is it a beer bar?

Speaker 2:

No, it's not a beer bar.

Speaker 1:

It has other stuff too.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

Okay, but lots of beer, lots of stouts yes, lots of stouts and lagers, yeah.

Speaker 2:

That makes sense.

Speaker 1:

But this beer is specially brewed by Dopey. He's the one that put the edible shimmer Onto it. Yeah, on it. Okay, yeah, it's the only beer he's ever brewed. It's really good, though High praises. Yes, the Hi-Ho Honey Mead. Oh, okay, it's sweet and strong, served in a miner's mug with a cinnamon stick.

Speaker 2:

Oh, that sounds interesting. I might have to order that.

Speaker 1:

And then one of the most popular drinks is the Doc's Diagnosis. It's a high-proof herbal liqueur, okay Okay With mysterious forest roots and berries.

Speaker 2:

Okay, I could see that having like elderflower liqueur.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that would be.

Speaker 2:

You know, I don't know if that would go with like a Campari or Aperol, which is an orange herbal liqueur.

Speaker 1:

Right, probably more of a elderflower. Elderflower Because it has flowers. Yeah, it's got an edible. Anything he's going to put in there, it's just whatever the pick of the day. Yeah, like in the catch of the day. Yeah, the doc's pick of the day. Pick of the day Okay. Well, there you go. There of the day.

Speaker 2:

Okay Well, there you go, there's 16 bars that we have come up with that Disney needs to implement At least two or three of them. That's a lot of bars. We came up with some good ideas. All right, but until next time, cheers, cheers.
