Disney Dining Plan

Ale & Compass Lounge does accept the Disney Dining Plan, and you can use credits from the Disney Dining Plan here. However, you cannot use credits from the Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan at this restaurant, since it’s only valid at quick-service restaurants. Since there aren’t quite as many food options, you will likely be better served using your table service meal credit at a full restaurant location.

Advance Dining Reservations

Ale & Compass Lounge does not require dining reservations and is instead seated on a first-come, first-served basis. However, the connecting Ale & Compass Restaurant does accept Advance Dining Reservations, so keep that in mind if you want a full meal.

Is Ale & Compass Lounge Kid-Friendly?

While there are a few small bite options at Ale & Compass Lounge, the menu is mainly going to be for drinks, including cocktails, beer, and wine. For that reason, it may be a place you can bring kids with you while you grab a drink, but it’s not a particularly kid-friendly atmosphere.

Instead, opt for the restaurant next door, with Ale & Compass Restaurant offering a wider selection of food and kid-friendly options on their menu to enjoy.
