We are approaching the Grand Canyon Concourse station

We all talk about monorail crawls, the ability to board a monorail and stop off at the resorts of the Magic Kingdom loop and grab an adult beverage. A time tested tradition, once upon a time a monorail crawl would have included a stop off at the Contemporary's Top of the World, which has since become the California Grill.

Aside from top tier musical acts performing high above the Seven Seas Lagoon, Top of the World featured some unique specialty cocktails. Whether you are trying to relive those olden days or just create your own monorail crawl, these beverages named after the highway in the sky should do the trick!
