Territory Lounge

By Melissa — lives fifteen minutes from Walt Disney World and is in the parks most weeks

Who that is

Writer and presenter, Whistle While You Work

Melissa moved to Celebration, Florida, and stopped treating Disney as a once-a-year sprint. She is in the parks most weeks, films what she finds, and writes the pages here from that — plus the research it takes to check it. Her position, in her own words: Disney does not have to be perfect to be magical, and the goal was never to do everything.

The short answer

Territory Lounge is the rustic, lodge-style bar at Wilderness Lodge, open 4pm to 10pm, with cocktails at $17.50 to $24 and shareable bites at $12.75 to $25. Disney Tourist Blog calls it one of the unheralded gems of Walt Disney World, and a de facto waiting area for Artist Point.
