Downtown Disney: Raglan Road and Cooke’s of Dublin
With Pleasure Island in the midst of an extensive “reimagining” project at the Downtown Disney dining, shopping, and entertainment district, it is easy to miss the two Irish restaurants that stand at the gateway between Pleasure Island and Disney’s Marketplace. Raglan Road and Cooke’s of Dublin serve traditional Irish fare both indoors and outdoors, with an atmosphere that will make visitors want to stay around a wee bit longer and have a pint of Guinness.
Of the two adjoining locations, Raglan Road is the more formal sit-down restaurant. Raglan Road has a wait staff, a bar, and a stage for nightly entertainment—and don’t forget the gift shop with items imported from Ireland. Raglan Road’s main dishes include the Fada Burger, Keen Eye for the Shepherd’s Pie, Lobster Club, and the signature One & One beer battered fish and chips with fresh tartar sauce.
The One & One is also on the menu at Cooke’s of Dublin, which has a smaller menu, fast food service and guests must order their food at the front counter. The main courses include battered chicken, beef & lamb pie, chicken and field mushroom pie and smoked haddock pie. Like all Disney restaurants the portions are hearty and a single One & One dish can easily feed two people, or at least one adult and one child (and British patrons will be pleased to know that there is plenty of malt vinegar to go around).
When the sun goes down, both Irish restaurants come alive with music and laughter. The Hole in the Wall is the outdoor section that joins the two restaurants together, where customers can enjoy a drink or two while watching the throngs of tourist crowds traverse the length of Downtown Disney.

Magic Kingdom: Main Street Confectionery
While it is easy to find sweet treats throughout Walt Disney World, nobody does it sweeter than the Main Street Confectionery in Magic Kingdom. Here you will find hundreds of colorful treats, including lollipops, fudge, candy coated crisped rice treats (in the shape of Mickey Mouse and other fun shapes), Mickey marshmallows, cookies, chocolate and caramel apples, Disney character PEZ dispensers, and much more.The Main Street Confectionery also sells Disney-themed utensils for the home cook who would like a little help in the kitchen from Mickey and Minnie. And those items are just a sampling of the kitchenware that can be found in other shops around Magic Kingdom and Downtown Disney.
Just about any confection in the shape of Mickey’s head can be found at the Main Street Confectionery, with one main exception that can be found nearby: the very popular Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar, which is always just a few steps away at vendor stands located throughout the Disney World theme parks.

One of the most iconic and hardest-working bands in rock ‘n’ roll – REO Speedwagon takes the stage this Saturday, February 26 at SeaWorld Orlando’s Bands, Brew & BBQ, Central Florida’s can’t-miss BBQ festival and concert series.
Bands, Brew & BBQ is back and bigger than ever with more BBQ, more brews and the best in classic rock and country. Country music’s up-and-comer, Josh Turner, performs on Saturday, March 5 in the final concert of the series.
Bands, Brew & BBQ is included with SeaWorld admission. Concerts begin at 4:30 p.m.
NEW – More BBQ! Local chefs now add an even richer variety of BBQ and great grilled food. BBQ biggies -- 4Rivers, Texas Cattle Co. and Smokey Bones – are cooking on-site and SeaWorld’s own team of chefs round out the menus with home-style beef jerky, kettle chips, buffalo chili and much more. VIP tickets are available and include BBQ and reserved seating for the day’s concert.
NEW – More brew! Wash down that tasty BBQ with an ice-cold brew at the all-new Beer Garden featuring nearly 60 craft beers from 21 different domestic and international breweries. Ale, stouts, porters, lagers – can’t decide on one? Try a 12-variety brew sampler.
The Fun Card is the way to go for unlimited admission! The best way to take in Bands, Brew & BBQ, all the concerts and all of the one-of-a-kind thrill rides and up-close animal adventures is with a SeaWorld Fun Card. The fun is all year long, too. Paying just a day’s admission means coming back again and again to enjoy every one of SeaWorld’s events, including Summer Nights, Halloween Spooktacular and the park’s Christmas Celebration. This spring, there’s even more when Shamu takes center stage in an all-new, must-see killer whale spectacular.
Fun Cards are valid for unlimited admission through Dec. 31, 2011 and available at SeaWorld’s front gate.Click here to get all the details on Bands Brew & BBQ
