Where to eat after a full day at Animal Kingdom? - The DIS Discussion Forums

poohmomof3 · 11-08-2009, 03:16 PM

We've been to Rainforest Cafe before. Looking for other options. Thinking of taking bus to AKL. There will be 5 of us (kids 11, 14 & 16). We are staying at the Beach Club.

I'd suggest Boma. We normally don't care for buffets but we love Boma. There are a variety of foods that seem to please most people. Jambo House at AKL is also very impressive to visit.

I would go to Boma - have you been there before? AKL is a great resort to check out and Boma offers a huge variety of different food options.

We usually enjoy a trip to Boma after Animal Kingdom...and the resort is beautiful to see, too!

A 3rd vote for Boma

We left AK after a long, tiring day and tried Boma for the first time and loved it!! We're doing the same thing for our upcoming trip.

One year we at at Tusker House for breakfast, Yak & Yeti for lunch, then Bomas for Dinner.....WAY too much food.

The next time we were smarter and reserved a later breakfast (9:30am) and a dinner show (we did Mickeys BBQ at 6:00).

A dinner show is great on AK days because the park generally closes early.

Another vote for Boma. We love Boma! Take some time to explore the lodge and view the animals on the savannas, too.

Option 2: Head back to the BC and spend the evening there or on the Boardwalk. We spent at least 2 nights at the BW when we stayed at Beach Club. It's so pretty to stroll at night. We love Flying Fish, but there's also Beaches & Cream for a more casual evening, the Yachtsman Steakhouse, or the Cape May buffet.

LOL, I like all the recommendations for Boma. That's where we're going after our AK day. We had breakfast there last trip which was out of this world. After that we HAVE to try Boma for dinner; can't wait!

Simple.................BOMA

We just love the lobby at AKL. the gift shop is worth a walk-through, seeing the animals is awesome, and a drink while ditting around the firepit is so cool!!

beansmom · 11-08-2009, 05:22 PM

we liked Boma but I don't really like buffets. On our last trip, however, we went to Sanaa at Kidani Village...I loved it!

myladyisatramp · 11-08-2009, 05:32 PM

We ate at Yak and Yeti.. was very good

Luv2Roam · 11-08-2009, 05:38 PM

You might want to give Sanaa a try.

We really enjoyed eating at Chef Mickeys for a change of pace that day
