Everything about the architecture of the building screams 1940’s-1950’s Havana…complete with a great Desi Arnaz impersonator who takes the stage each night.

Bongos remains a favorite of tourists and locals alike who value great Caribbean dishes at reasonable prices.

You can enjoy great cocktails and red hot rhythms at the full-service bar. On some nights, you may even be surprised to find a live band playing your favorite latin hits of yesterday and today in the upstairs dining area.

Essentially, it is a five-story interactive arcade complex which can be enjoyed for one, all-inclusive price.

The busiest times tend to be at night and during rainy days. Try to make an effort to get to Disney Quest around 11am-noon so you can experience everything inside before the evening crowd files in.

We highly recommend Cyber Space Mountain and the new Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. Adults will be pleased to know that Disney Quest devotes an entire section of arcade games solely to the classic titles of the 70s and 80s.

Price Range: $ 29.00-$ 35.00As soon as the show starts, the action is non-stop for over 90 minutes. Some of the world’s most well-trained acrobats and stage performers will ‘wow’ you to the beat of a pulse-pounding soundtrack.

The 1,600-seat arena offers great views from anywhere you sit. Though all seating is reserved, be sure to arrive about 30 minutes before showtime. There is a hilarious pre-show that you will not want to miss. If you need a booster seat for your child, just ask one of the ushers and they will help you out.

All of the acts and performers delight the crowd but the one act that seems to win the loudest applause are the four very young Chinese performers who juggle, toss and slide wooden spools to each other all while executing somersaults and flips. As each one outdid the other, the audience cheered louder and louder until the applause reached a fever pitch.

Although a bit pricey, this show is certainly not to be missed!Another article of interest is Disney Springs Marketplace.
