We LOVE celebrating the holidays at Disney World, but sometimes it’s hard to get in the spirit when you’re away from home, especially for Thanksgiving. Disney holidays create such a magical experience, but sometimes it feels a little different not having our whole family at the dining room table.

The Swan and Dolphin Resorts

Lucky for you, Disney is bringing your holiday favorites straight to you! We’re heading to the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Resort for some holiday favorites we can’t skip.

The Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin is hosting some Halloween fun! You can grab specialty cocktails across its restaurants and lounges each week, including:

• 10/11 – 10/17: Blood Moon Lychee – A vibrant fusion of Maestro Dobel Tequila and delicate lychee juice, balanced with fresh lemon juice and rich cherry syrup. Bright, refreshing, and hauntingly beautiful, this cocktail delivers a perfect blend of tart citrus and balanced sweetness.
• 10/18 – 10/24: Haunted Harvest – A sparkling autumn-inspired cocktail combining Three Olives Vodka and Prosecco with crisp apple juice, caramel butter syrup, fresh lime juice, and a touch of orgeat. Effervescent and comforting, it captures the flavors of a crisp fall evening in every sip.
• 10/25 – 10/31: Gravedigger – A dark and intriguing blend of Kraken Rum, Crème de Banana, Antica Vermouth, and Aperol. Rich spiced rum notes mingle with ripe banana, herbal complexity, and bittersweet citrus for a bold, spirit-forward cocktail that lingers long after the last sip. Our Halloween take on a classic Negroni.
