Atmosphere
Nomad Lounge offers the adventurous and elegant spirit of Tiffins Restaurant with a more relaxed and casual dining atmosphere. As a nod to the international flavors that fill the menu, the restaurant is decorated with banners with questions for Guests to ponder about travel and discovery. Guests can purchase a “tag” to answer a question and have it added to the restaurant’s tag chandelier, meant to inspire others on their journey of discovery. Part of the proceeds for each tag purchased go to the Disney Conservation Fund.
