Wow, I had absolutely no idea this existed! We don't drink or dance, but I think it would still be lots of fun to check out some time. It looks really cool inside.

I've never really had the desire to stay at Coronado, but this looks pretty cool and I think it would be a fun spot!

After years of doing the usual activities at Disney, my friends and I realized a great new way to experience Disney which this series covers. Hotel and bar hopping is a lot of fun. I've been to most of the hotels but not all the bars but I definitely look forward to checking out the bars in the lower tier hotels. The Rix looks like fun. So far we have hopped by train, boat and foot through the Contemporary, Wilderness Lodge, Polynesian and Grand Floridian bars and each has been a great stop showcasing their own drink menus. We look forward to seeing some of the others and everything they have to offer. Keep posting the bar hopping series and more people will discover this great Disney activity.
Personally for me, t-minus 11 days until our annual 2012 Food and Wine Trip!
