Hey friends! One of my favorite things about a Disneyland Resort vacation is discovering experiences that go beyond attractions and dining reservations. Of course, we all have those must-do rides and favorite snacks, but adding something a little unexpected to your itinerary can make an already magical trip feel even more memorable. If you’re planning an adults-only afternoon in the Downtown Disney District this fall, Naples Ristorante e Bar has just announced a fresh lineup of dates for its popular Shaken & Stirred cocktail classes, and they sound like the perfect way to slow down and savor the moment.
Whether you’re a seasoned home mixologist or someone who simply enjoys a well-crafted cocktail, these hands-on experiences are designed for every skill level. During each two-hour class, guests will learn directly from Naples’ talented bartenders and featured spirit partners, picking up new techniques while enjoying premium spirits, creative cocktails, light bites, and live music in a relaxed setting. Classes take place on select Saturdays from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm, with tickets priced at $89 per person, including tax and service fees. Space is limited, so booking ahead is definitely recommended.
What I love most about events like these is how they add another layer to a Disneyland vacation. They’re perfect for locals looking for a fun weekend outing, couples planning a date afternoon, or Disney fans who have visited the parks countless times and want to experience something a little different. It’s also a wonderful reminder that some of the best Disney memories happen outside the park gates.
Here are the newly released Shaken & Stirred dates and themes:
- August 8th – Tito’s Handmade Vodka
- August 22nd – Sazerac Brands
- September 5th – Golden Eagle Vodka
- September 19th – Spritz Cocktail Party
- October 3rd – Espresso Cocktail Craze
- October 17th – Beam Brands
- October 24th – Pernod Ricard Brands
Each class focuses on a different spirit or cocktail style, making it easy to return throughout the season and enjoy an entirely new experience every time. If your Disneyland vacation includes a leisurely afternoon in Downtown Disney, this might just be the perfect excuse to shake things up before heading back into the magic.
