The Shipwreck is definitely my favorite drink there, so it's kind of fun that there's a souvenir cup for it now too! At least until this point, when you get your drink, they bring it in the fancy souvenir glass, but they give you a clean one to take home with you, which is a nice way of doing it. The drinks are also available without purchasing the glass. I don't know if you can buy the glass without buying the drink (but you probably can, Disney always wants your money). >>which are the drinks your order to get a special show?<< Most of the drinks have some sort of effect in the bar. If you're sitting outside, the Uh-Oa is the only one that has a 'show', but it's a little silly out there. I think that, previously, the drinks with souvenir glasses didn't trigger any effects, but both the Shipwreck and Uh-Oa definitely do (the only other one that I specifically remember is the Krakatoa Punch, but I believe there are others) >>Just don't order the Peeinna Pool. Don't ask me how I know.<< Does this have anything to do with that time you went swimming in the HoJo pool, so many years ago?

Originally Posted By tashajilek I cant wait to go and see all the effects. I was supposed to go last year, but when you are with family members sometimes its hard to drag them out of the park. The Ship Wreck and Shrunken Zombie Head sound like fun drinks to order.
Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt "Hans, I hope you'll drag yourself out of the bar to see some of the parks!" Yes, I know. I was just thinking about this. One of my favorite places at DLR is Uva Bar and I also like the outdoor bar at Tortilla Joes, which is a great place to watch the fireworks. I know it sounds a little silly, but when I'm staying at a DLR hotel it feels like an extension of the parks to me. I probably wouldn't spend much time in the hotel bar if I was staying at the HoJo or the Anaheim Marriott. Staying on site is just a different experience and I'm not the sort of person who has to do every ride. As long as I catch all the new stuff that was added since my last visit I'll be happy.

I feel the same way about the hotels. That's why I've shelled out the money in the past for them, and I'd do it again if I could afford it. Completely different experience all together staying there as opposed to anything in Harbor.
