Let’s talk about celebrating St. Patrick’s Day at Walt Disney World!
St. Patrick’s Day isn’t huge at Disney World, like Halloween and Christmas, but there are several ways to enjoy the holiday!
From green beer, to delicious food, to Irish entertainment, St. Patrick’s Day at Disney World is so much fun.

St. Patrick’s Day at Walt Disney World
The Mighty St. Patrick’s Festival
Each year, Raglan Road Irish Pub & Restaurant in Disney Springs has a large celebration for St. Patrick’s Day called “The Mighty St. Patrick’s Festival.”
The multi-day celebration begins a few days before March 17 and runs through actual St. Patrick’s Day. There’s special entertainment, including authentic Irish dancers, singers, and more.
Here’s the 2026 The Mighty St. Patrick’s Festival schedule:
Keep in mind that Raglan Road tables in the main dining room aren’t guaranteed. This means you might not have a good view of the entertainment.
That said, the atmosphere is fun, the Irish music is bumping, the food is delicious, and the drinks are flowing. Raglan Road is definitely the place to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.
I recommend booking reservations, because it gets busy! Sometimes there’s even a two-hour wait for those who don’t have reservations. You can book on the Walt Disney World website, through the My Disney Experience app, or via OpenTable.
It’s also important to note that there is live music on the exterior stage, so if you don’t want to wait or can’t get a table, you can always grab a beer from the outdoor Paddy’s Bar attached to Raglan Road and listen as you hang around outside of the restaurant.
FYI: There is a cover charge of $20 on St. Patrick’s Day for guests 18 and older. Anyone younger can enter free of charge. Reservations also aren’t accepted on March 17, meaning seating is first-come, first-served.
Special Limited-Time Treats
Every year, Disney World releases special St. Patrick’s Day treats that are available for a limited time.
Usually, you can find the majority of the themed-food and drinks at Disney Springs. Beaches & Cream Soda Shop at Disney’s Beach Club Resort also typically has a festive non-alcoholic milkshake.
Green Beer in the U.K. Pavilion
On March 17 only, you can get green beer at Rose & Crown Pub and the outdoor bar cart in the United Kingdom Pavilion at EPCOT!
You can ask for most drinks to be dyed green (you can’t really turn Guinness green). This makes grabbing a drink at Rose & Crown even better. This is my favorite bar at EPCOT, so being able to enjoy St. Patrick’s Day here is a trip highlight.
As expected, the pub is even busier on St. Patrick’s Day. For example, this is what the Rose & Crown line can look like before opening:
The drink cart next to Rose & Crown also has a line throughout the day:
Like with most things at Disney World, you definitely need to pack your patient pants.
France Pavilion’s Green Cocktails
In EPCOT’s France pavilion on St. Patrick’s Day, Les Vins des Chefs de France dyes some of its drinks green.
For example, the Citron slush! This comes with Grey Goose Citron, vodka, and lemonade. It’s delicious and refreshing on a hot day. I don’t order this enough.
You are even able to split it with the Orange slush that comes with Grand Marnier, rum, Grey Goose Orange, and orange juice to somewhat resemble the Irish flag colors. You can even get champagne dyed green!
This is always a popular spot to grab a drink in the World Showcase, so, yes, you can definitely expect a line on St. Patrick’s Day.
Exclusive Green Beer in Animal Kingdom
While this isn’t an exclusive beer available on St. Patrick’s Day, Animal Kingdom has one of the best green beers I’ve ever had — and you can get it year-round at the park!
The Hawkes’ Grog Ale is one of my favorite beers at Disney World, and it’s brewed by Terrapin Beer Co. exclusively for the theme park.
This American Pale Wheat Beer is a fruity hop brew with notes of apricot and peach. It’s light, flavorful, and not too hoppy, so don’t be scared of the “fruity hop” description.
You can order this at Satu’li Canteen and Pongu Pongu in Pandora — The World of Avatar at Animal Kingdom.
