The Crescent Lake Pub Crawl was a lot of fun, especially since we were staying at the Beach Club. We mixed the drinks up quite a bit but surprisingly felt pretty good the next day.
We started out walking to Kimonos Lounge at the Swan. Walked right in and there were plenty of seats. I had the Lychee Mojito and My wife had the Kimonos Soda. We split a Dragon Roll and Tempura Udon Soup. Loved everything about this place.
Next we walked across the Lobby to Il Mulino Lounge. This place was hopping at this point. They had live music and a nice vibe. We both got a glass of the Bruciato Super Tuscan Wine and split a Margherita Pizza. The wine was fantastic and the Pizza good not great but still enjoyed it.
Next we walked over to the Dolphin to bluezoo. The Dancing Palm Trees that run between the Swan and Dolphin are worth seeing at night if nothing else. The Lounge has a great upscale feel to it but not in a stuffy way. We split a Moscow Mule just to slow things down a bit.
Next stop was the Abracadabar over at the Boardwalk. This was a really cool bar but was packed. We managed to get there just as another couple was leaving and got 2 seats. I ordered the Conjurita and Wife had the Parlor Trick. I LOVED the Conjurita but my Wife thought the Parlor Trick was too strong , very heavy on the Bourbon so we switched. I have a thing against Bourbon going back to drinking way too much Southern Comfort when I was 16. It was the first time I've had it in 34 years and I somehow managed to finish most of it even though I really didn't enjoy it. Got brownie points for that though
Left Abracadar heading back to the Beach Club and got to the bridge just in time to see Illuminations. Snapped this pic while there.

Next stop was to Ale and Compass at the Yacht Club. I loved how they did it over but we never got a drink. It was about half full but there was only 1 bartender and no waitstaff at the time. She was obviously overwhelmed and never made it to our table in the 15 minutes we were sitting there. Decided to get up and head to Crew's Cup Lounge instead. Crew's Cup reminded me a bit of the Lounge at the Wilderness Lodge. Lots of wood but very comfortable. We split the Deviled Eggs and a Caesar Salad. The Eggs were awesome! We both got an IPA, may have been an I-4 but things were a little foggy at this point.
Lastly back to the room. This was a rare few nights away without our daughter so I tried to make it special. I contacted Disney about having a Champagne Gift Basket delivered to the room when we were out but was told Florida Laws prohibit them from leaving Alcohol without someone signing for it. Now I've heard varying reports about this since so I'm not sure what the actual policy is. Regardless I decided to do something on my own so I packed a bottle of Champagne, Chocolates, 2 Champagne Flutes and an Ice Bucket in my luggage. Not sure how she never found them. I ran back to the room when we were down in the Lobby, telling her I was having "Stomach Issues". She checked out the Gift Shop while I set this up as a surprise. So we finished the night drinking this back in our room.

It was a great "Adults" trip to Disney. Glad we did it but felt a bit guilty so heading back in 33 days with our daughter
