Resort lunch ideas for non-park days

[Beachyrock]

We will be taking our first adults only trip in September and only doing one park day at EPCOT for F&W. The other couple of days we would like to visit some resorts and have a leisurely lunch outside, preferably by the pool or somewhere with a nice view. So far we are thinking about Bar Riva at Riviera and Geyser Point at WL. What are some other great places to enjoy a resort lunch? Thanks !

Um - I'm not totally sure that outside in September is the best idea. Its pretty humid! But Sanaa at AKL looks out at the animals roaming so its pretty cool. Its also just a really awesome resort to explore - great art work, beautiful architecture and all the animals.

Three Bridges at Coronado?

I've heard nice things about outdoor seating at Olivia's Cafe at Old Key West, but I've never been.

Almost forgot, at Grand Floridian, I really like the Gasparilla Island Grill quick service. Plenty of outdoor seating there.

Here is a great resource for outdoor dining from Jan 2022; Great (Recent) Article About Outdoor Dining at Disney World

Geyser Point and Three Bridges are definitely a couple of our favorites. Just a slight warning - you might want to consider Disney transportation to most of the resorts you might visit - looking to park without a room or dining reservation could get you turned away at the security shed. Enjoy!

Both of these. Low-key, comfortable atmosphere and very good food at both.

Where are you staying? When I was at BCV, I took the Skyway over to Riviera. Primo Plato (?) has a great Croque Monsier that you can take outside.

Love Bar Riva. They have an excellent salad and lovely to sit outside near pool, but not right on top of it.

I had lunch outdoors there last week. It is very nice. This was the cleaner-upper at the next table.

Thanks for the great suggestions! We are staying at SSR, so Olivia's would be very convenient. Even though we've stayed at OKW before, we've never eaten there. Hadn't thought of Three Bridges, but it looks like a lovely setting and we've never visited CSR. Our trip is at the tail end of Sept into beginning of Oct, so hoping for a tiny reprieve from the humidity.

If you're at SSR, I wouldn't discount the option of some very nice outdoor dining (with a beautiful view) at some Disney Springs locations. Teralina and Boathouse have some nice tables overlooking the lake. That boat ride from SSR/DS to OKW is very nice and very convenient! Enjoy.

Definitely hop over to Disney springs. So many great options! You can bowl and eat at splits like, eat at the movies, you have homecomin (which offers brunch!) and boathouse (amphicars! Unless those aren’t back yet) and Paddlefish

Three Bridges is also very nice.

Yes

We loved the pulled pork nachos at Capt Cooks at the Poly. We sat outside and it was very enjoyable in Dec in the low 80's.

Meant to say this earlier: if you decide to check out one of the boardwalk area resorts (BW, BC, YC, Swolphin) you should totally hop across the road to Fantasia Gardens Mini golf!

Just a heads up for you - Three Bridges doesn't open until 4:30.
