When some people think of Walt Disney World, often they will assume that it is just for families with children. They incorrectly decide that there is nothing for the 21 and up crowd, especially since Downtown Disney’s Pleasure Island has been gone for years.

Bongos Cuban Cafe opened in 1997 at Downtown Disney (later renamed Disney Springs). The driving force behind the eatery was celebrity couple Gloria and Emilio Estefan.
