- PDPam Devendorf1 day ago4.0Great place to grab a meal while enjoying your stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge. They have SO many food choices to choose from: hot, cold, grab and go, pre-packaged. Or if you are just wanting to relax with a beverage, perfect place to grab a coffee and relax on the outdoor patio and people watch. Don't forget to wear your Magic Band to pay $$. BTW, it's a great place after visiting a Disney Park for a snack before bed. They close at 11PM.
- JFJoel FradkinApr 14, 20265.0Got to akl hungry. Went to mara and decided chicken stripe. Really delicious. Moist, perfect. Fries were so fresh. The fast food is excellent. Going to jiko tonight, boma for breakfast and trying France in epcot tomorrow.
- SZScott ZakMar 22, 20265.0Good not too crowded QS in AKL Jambo house. Some good choices such as combination bowls and pineapple carribean jerk fingers. They also have a made to order coffee station in there.
- AZandrea zMar 17, 20263.0Skip the kids pizza, it’s served so hot the cheese melts off and doesn’t stick to it. My kids were so disappointed. The bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich was so greasy it upset my stomach, but the tater tots were above average. We loved the chicken bowl and side options for kids meals though!
- ARAshlyn RimskyMar 5, 20263.0I got the zebra domes after reading the positive reviews, but they were nasty tasting (not really sure how to describe it - not overly sweet or anything but they had an unpleasant flavor and texture). They also came with a sticker showing a giant list of ingredients. I also got the ricotta flatbread which was decent.
