Want to enjoy the fine dining and exquisite drinks available at Cítricos, but not in a traditional dinner format? Head to Cítricos Lounge, one of Disney World’s bar and lounge options that’s stylish, elegant, and offers a mix of top-tier drinks paired with food from the Cítricos menu. This table service restaurant is a slimmed-down, more laid-back version of the full Fine/Signature Dining establishment, with fresh, modern fare inspired by the local Florida cuisine.
Cítricos Lounge Location
Cítricos Lounge is located on the second floor of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, just outside the main restaurant’s dining room.
Cítricos Lounge Menu
With the same whimsical theming inspired by Mary Poppins Returns and a focus on fresh Florida favorites, Cítricos Lounge is a slimmed-down and slightly more casual version of the full restaurant. While its food is still elevated and the drinks are top-tier (and the prices are certainly expensive), the lounge is a setting designed more for unwinding than upscale dining.
Here, the focus is on specialty cocktails and an extensive wine list. But drinks aren’t all that’s on the menu; Cítricos Lounge also offers the very same menu of food that you can dine on inside the restaurant. And yes, that means there are plenty of options for kids here, too.

Disney Dining Plan
Like Cítricos, Cítricos Lounge does accept the Disney Dining Plan, but since it is a table service restaurant, you can only use credits from the Disney Dining Plan here – the Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan isn’t accepted. You’ll need to use table service meal credits for dinners enjoyed here.
Additionally, since Cítricos and its lounge are both technically one of Disney world’s Fine/Signature Dining restaurants, it’s more expensive in terms of dining plan credits than many others. It’ll cost you two table service meal credits per person to dine here (that’s on par with other top-tier spots like Cinderella’s Royal Table).
Advance Dining Reservations
Like most of Disney World’s popular bars and lounges, you won’t be able to make an advance dining reservation (ADR) before heading to Cítricos Lounge.
However, if all of the table service spots are booked up ahead of your visit for Cítricos, you can always try the lounge instead. Odds are it’ll be a bit easier to nab an open spot for the lounge versus trying to get a last-minute spot inside the main dining room.
Is Cítricos Lounge Kid-Friendly?
Cítricos Lounge, like the full restaurant itself, isn’t really designed for kids and their more limited tastes. And since the lounge is focused more on drinks – specifically adult beverages, like wine – over food, it is more adult-leaning than the restaurant.
However, it’s worth keeping in mind that Cítricos Lounge does offer a menu of dinner options from the full Cítricos restaurant menu. So, if you do want to bring your kids here and try to have a more laid-back experience than you would in the main dining room, the lounge could be a good alternative. You can enjoy some of the very same food without worrying as much about the atmosphere.
