Nomad Lounge
This short weekend trip came about because I had to do something on the Space Coast on Friday morning/afternoon. Since its a 4 hour drive to that area, I didn’t want to drive up there Thursday Night and immediately return Friday Evening so I used some DVC points and got a studio at Saratoga Springs for two nights. I wasn’t supposed to make it to WDW until 6PM at night so I had made my fastpasses to start at 6:40PM but circumstances changed and I actually arrived at 4PM. I settled in at my studio (which was literally the worst studio I’ve ever stayed in and emailed member services about it)
So since I arrived earlier than planned, I headed over to Animal Kingdom earlier than planned but the waits for everything were long. I also hadn’t eaten since like 9:30AM so I decided to get a snack before my later ADR at Yak & Yeti. What better place for a snack at Animal Kingdom than Nomad Lounge?
While all the tables were full in the lounge, I was able to get a seat at the bar without too much of an issue. I ordered a fruity cocktail to start as I wanted something refreshing while I debated on what snack I wanted. The cocktail was exactly what I wanted!
Lamu Libation - Starr African Rum, Cruzan Banana Rum, Guava Puree w/ Orange, Lime, Pineapple Juices w/ Gosling’s 151 Rum
I went with the chicken wing appetizer after debating between the wings or the pork ribs. The chicken wings had just a bit of spice to it. I’m not entirely sure how I felt about them as I couldn’t tell if I liked them, was just really hungry, or something just wasn’t for me. I wasn’t in the best head place at this point so that could have done that for me.
Asian Barbecue Chicken Wings
I still had time to kill so I got one of my cocktails I know I love. I love bourbon and this is a great cocktail! I’ve had it before at Tiffins so I knew I loved it. I savored this as I killed some more time.
Tempting Tigress - Russell’s Reserve 10yr Bourbon, St. Elizabeth Allspice Dram, Tamarind Syrup and Lime Juice
Overall a great way to ease into the fun part of the weekend!
