Animal Kingdom: Dining

Animal Kingdom dining overview

Dining options at Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park are fairly limited. If you're looking for a nice sit-down meal, you'll only have a couple of restaurants from which to choose. Like Hollywood Studios, there is only one character dining option available. Despite this fact, there are still enough restaurants available to find something for everyone.

Yak & Yeti

Whether you crave a sit-down meal or quick counter service meal, the Yak & Yeti restaurant at Disney's Animal Kingdom has you covered! One of the newest restaurants at Animal Kingdom, Yak & Yeti offers both! You'll enjoy the cuisine of several Asian nations that are both delicious and reasonably priced. If you get hungry while in Asia at Animal Kingdom, check out Yak & Yeti restaurant.

Tusker House

While in Africa at Disney's Animal Kingdom, check out Tusker House. This buffet style restaurant features a variety of American cuisine and is the only restaurant in Animal Kingdom with character dining. The Donald Duck Breakfast Safari character dining option is only available at breakfast so you'll need to book early to enjoy it. If you can't make it for breakfast, the Tusker House is still a great place to enjoy a lunch or dinner.

Best of the rest dining at Animal Kingdom

If those two options don't whet your appetite, you may want to check out Rainforest Cafe. The atmosphere is appropriate for Animal Kingdom, but if you've 'been there done that' at other Rainforest Cafes, you'll find the same noisy frenetic atmosphere here. The Flame Tree Barbecue may be a better option. They have great counter-service ribs, chicken, and pulled-pork sandwiches and scenic, shaded outdoor seating areas. If you have young kids that would rather eat at McDonald's check out Restaurantosaurus- Animal Kingdom's answer to the golden arches!
