The Springs


Today’s visit to Disney Springs came with the usual sporadic Florida afternoon storms, but a little rain only added to the adventure. With plenty of shops, restaurants, and covered areas nearby, it was easy to duck inside during a downpour and continue exploring once the sunshine returned.

The highlight was Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant, where hearty Irish food is paired with live music and energetic Irish dancing. Time your meal correctly and you can enjoy an impressive show for the price of dinner—no separate entertainment ticket required. It’s a wonderful place to wait out a storm while enjoying great food, lively music, and a little taste of Ireland in the heart of Disney Springs.


The menu is filled with hearty Irish comfort food. Think fish and chips, bangers and mash, shepherd’s pie, and boxty potato pancakes, accompanied by Irish beers, cocktails, and an extensive whiskey selection. It is exactly the sort of food that feels right while rain taps against the windows outside.

But the real treat is the entertainment.

Time your reservation correctly and dinner becomes a full Irish music-and-dance show—without purchasing a separate entertainment ticket. Raglan Road presents live musicians, energetic bands, and remarkably talented Irish dancers on its stages. One moment you are enjoying your meal; the next, the room is alive with music and the rapid-fire rhythm of Irish dancing.
