BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 From the Disney Parks Blog, Splitsville at DTD has added some live music on Saturday nights... Splitsville Hits a High Note with New Saturday Night Bands at Downtown Disney West Sideposted on January 20th, 2015 by Darcy Clark, Marketing Manager, Downtown Disney at Walt Disney World Resort In early November, Splitsville Luxury Lanes quietly introduced a new offering inside their venue – live bands on Saturday nights. With the hustle and bustle of the holidays, I only recently had the chance to experience it for myself. Three months after the first band took the stage, I can attest that “quiet” isn’t an adjective I’d use to describe it—it’s loud, bright and totally fun! On the night I visited, The Jimmy James Band covered everything from The Beatles to Taylor Swift. Taking requests and encouraging guests to sing along and get out on the dance floor, the high-energy enthusiasm in the air was contagious. My party of four was perfectly positioned to catch every shake of the tambourine, and when the bass guitarist came on the floor to rock with the crowd, I was just inches away! Of course, we bowled, too. And had dinner. And drinks. With three sushi lovers and a full-throttle carnivore, our table was covered with edamame, a variety of rolls, and the Bacon Cheeseburger. Oh, and let us not forget a few Frozen Schooners – I really do think Splitsville serves the coldest beer in town! The only downside? The food was so good that everyone missed my strike. With a new year here, Splitsville is rolling into 2015 with even more enhancements. Their menu now includes Crispy Wings, a Sushi Tuna Rice Bowl, a Foghorn Burger, Steak Alfredo and a California Crunch Roll. New drinks include a Cinnamon Toast Colada (I’m so regretting not trying that one during my last visit!) and Sangrita (Margarita meets Red Sangria). They recently expanded their first floor Bullet Bar, too, so there’s more space than ever to catch your game, people watch, or – my new favorite – enjoy live music on Saturday nights! Want to check out the bands during your next West Side visit? The Jimmy James Band, Blonde Ambition or another guest group will perform 9 p.m. – 12:30 a.m. every Saturday night. There’s no cover charge and there are plenty of tables, bar seats and lanes on the first floor with great views of the stage and dance floor. To guarantee a spot and reserve a lane, contact [email protected] or call 407-938-PINS; for dinner only, you can book online here. Now, more than ever, Splitsville really is my favorite Downtown Disney West Side spot to “Roll In & Rock Out!” Would you agree? http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2015/01/splitsville-hits-a-high-note-with-new-saturday-night-bands-at-downtown-disney-west-side/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Not much better.TCD I figured. That's why we made zero effort to get over there during our last trip. I'm sure it will be nice when it's finished, but until then it's a mess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djsamuel 322 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Take the bus, park at Port Orleans and take the boat, or drive and get there early. Most of all, have patience. Not bad. Do it every time we go to the movies. Got there early last Friday and parked behind Cirque. Not bad at all, even leaving. However, the line backed up to get into the garage in the evening was horrendous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, the line backed up to get into the garage in the evening was horrendous. I agree- if you are coming from the west on Buena Vista Drive and turn in to the very first entrance by Cirque, you can park in that back lot, and it's not too bad if you're going to anything on that side of Downtown Disney, including Splitsville. But, if you miss that turn, you are in deep doo-doo. Plus, with all of the construction still under way, there's no guarantee they won't shut off access to that lot without notice.
