Disney's Animal Kingdom has some great choices when it comes to Quick Service Dining Options and the Yak & Yeti Local Foods Café is one of the best.
Yak & Yeti Local Foods Café
When you are in the Asia section of Disney's Animal Kingdom it is only fitting that your dining choices even at the Quick Service Restaurants are appropriate for the region. At the Yaki & Yeti Local Foods Café the menu features foods that you might get from a typical Chinese Food Carryout location complete with trademark box.
The Menu
The menu includes a choice of 6 entrees:
- Honey Chicken
- Sweet and Sour Pork
- Shrimp Lo Mein
- Kung Pao Beef
- Asian Chicken Sandwich
- Mandarin Chicken Salad
You can also purchase Pork Egg Rolls and Chicken Fried Rice as side dishes or use Disney Dining Plan Snack Credits.
The desserts include: Chocolate Cake, Mango Pie, Frozen Lemonade, or Chocolate Chip Cookie.
There is also a Children's Menu that includes 3 options:
- Cheesburger
- Chicken Bites
- Pork Egg Roll
With the Children's meal you can get the usual sides or opt for Fried Rice.
The beverages available include fountain soft drinks and draft Bud Light or Safari Amber Beer.
Sweet and Sour Pork
Kung Pao Beef (tasted so good that we could not slow down for picture until most of it was gone!)
Pork Egg Rolls
Disney Dining Plan
The Yak & Yeti Local Foods Café participates on the Disney Dining Plan as a Quick Service Food option providing great value for your Quick Service Dining credits. As mentioned earlier the Pork Egg Rolls (2) and the Chicken Fried Rice can both be had for Disney Dining Plan snack credits. This can make a great snack or a light lunch.
Great Theming
Although the Yak & Yeti Local Foods Cafe is a small walk-up restaurant, the themed area in which it resides adds to the experience.
Disney Imagineers make the most of the space and add props that are authentic to the region in order to magically transport you to Asia to enjoy your lunch.
Favorite Quick Service Option
The Yak & Yeti Local Food Café gets high marks for a Disney Quick Service Dining location by offering a non-typical theme park food option and great theming to blend in seemlessly to its location and "story'"
The food is tasty and will be sure to please those in your family that enjoy take-out Chinese Food. This is yet another great example of why there is so much more to experience beyond burgers and pizza when you dine at the Walt Disney World Resort Theme Parks. It will not be your best meal ever, but it is enjoyable and a way to escape the ordinary.
This dining location also rates highly as a Disney Quick Service location that you get your money's worth when using the Disney Dining Plan.
Loved the food at Yak and Yeti! Hubby and I enjoyed it the last time we were at Disney. What's even better is if you participate in MyPoints.com, you can use the gift cards you earn to pay for your meal. Opt for the Laundry's gift cards, and viola! Free disney dining. I wrote about this on our blog where we detailed exactly how much we spent on our disney vaca.
