We recently posted an article about all the nightlife options happening along International Drive. In the near future we’ll be doing another one about the Sand Lake Road\/Dr. Phillips area which is jammed with restaurants that turn into clubs later at night. We visited one of those last night: Vines Grille & Wine Bar<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Located at the far rear, this raised stage is the Saturday night home to BACK2BASICS, the new weekly House music event with free admission.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
When we arrived DJ Romano Arcaini (D\/USA) was spinning.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And we do literally mean spinning because this weekly is an all-vinyl affair.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The place is huge and there was a good crowd on hand.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
And although advertised as a “wine bar”, it’s actually a full liquor establishment.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Shift change!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
With DJ Carlos Mendoza (EC\/USA) taking control.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Carlos Mendoza opens for the legendary DJ Paul Oakenfold (GB) on October 27th at the new Kali Ultra Lounge<\/em> aka Mango’s Upstairs<\/em>. Get Early Bird pricing here<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
House music all night long. Every Saturday night. Come check it out at Vines<\/em>!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Our next stop was Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Home to Laguna Bar<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It’s a cute little kiosk out on the waterfront.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Jessica from Adventurers Club<\/em> was on duty. But why did we come here? A couple years ago Blog <\/em>reader Troy wrote us to let us know about a secret drink menu they had here. The email was lost and forgotten until we just recently rediscovered it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
You have to ask for the “Pleasure Island Drink Menu<\/em>” aka “Every Day Is New Years Eve Menu<\/em>” because it’s not posted! The drink names have been changed to protect the innocent (and copyrights) but the “Out To S.E.A.” is actually a Kungaloosh <\/em>in disguise! Pleasure Island<\/em> memories at Laguna Bar<\/em>! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Long live the Funmeister<\/em>. Come check it out! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
As long as we were visiting Coronado Springs Resort<\/em>, we wandered over to Rix Lounge<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
It’s become more of a sports bar than a dance club.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
In the far alcove, the dance floor is still here but is now used for additional seating.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The DJ booth is also still here so the potential exists to turn this back into a dance floor during the many conventions that take place at this resort.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We previously saw DJ Ish (USA) playing here at Rix <\/em>so many years ago!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We next headed over to Disney’s Boardwalk Resort<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Home to Disney<\/em>‘s only remaining owned and operated dance club, Atlantic Dance Hall<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Where we walked into this<\/em>!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
We found DJ Mynd (USA) in the booth delivering the goods.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Atlantic Dance Hall <\/em>is so cavernous that even when there’s a lot of people, it can seem empty. But last night, it did not<\/em> seem empty!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The ADH <\/em>format is generally Top 40 hits old and new.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
But last night the DJ also played quite a bit of EDM hits including songs by Avicii (S), Zedd (D), Lil’ Jon (USA) and Natasha Bedingfield (GB). It was great!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
DJ Mynd has been all over the place! We recently saw him open the new PBR Cowboy Bar<\/em> at Live! at the Pointe<\/em>, he opened the new Rodeo<\/em> bar in Wall Street Plaza<\/em> downtown and of course he’s the resident DJ at The Edison<\/em> in Disney Springs<\/em>. Friday night he played in Indianapolis and then he’s back here at ADH<\/em> the next day!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Atlantic Dance Hall<\/em> is typically very casual but there were quite a few people that were dressed-up last night too. They were mostly members of the Disney Day Drinkers Club<\/em> which had a members-only party here earlier.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Admission and parking at Atlantic Dance Hall <\/em>are FREE.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
A good time was had by all. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
