Location
Okay, time to walk through the bar area and restaurant! The location immerses you in a tropical paradise, with the outdoor bar providing “breathtaking views of the Seven Seas Lagoon.”
The bar & grill is designed to pull from the beauty of the islands…
…and don’t worry–the gorgeous theming isn’t limited to just outside.
Inside the restaurant, guests are surrounded by Polynesian-inspired artwork, with the majority crafted from recycled materials.
It’s a beautifully-themed location!
Follow the golden rule while experiencing anything Disney has touched: always look up! The decor extends all the way up to the ceiling, where fish swim freely and geometric shapes enhance the atmosphere.
There’s also a counter for To Go Pick Up orders, so you can swing by while walking through the tower!
Cheers to a successful tour!
