After Blizzard Beach, we went back to the Yacht Club to change then we hopped the bus to Animal Kingdom for our lunch reservation. We arrived at Yak n Yeti and we got a buzzer as there was a small wait. I know this is random... but the hand dryers in the restrooms were made by Dyson and they were super intense. I was impressed, lol--so was Dave, he took a pic.
We were seated in about 10 minutes. Our waiter came, asked if we were on the Dining Plan and kept explaining over and over that Yak n Yeti was not Disney owned. I knew this, but I didn't know why it was being said over and over. The other restaurants that are not Disney owned just take the card and explain how it is a little difference, but they don't make this big of a deal. Just weird. I had a coke, he had an iced tea. We put our appetizer order in.
The appetizer took a really long time. Other tables around us were already getting their entrees when we were waiting for our appies. We were confused, but oh well.
He had wings and I had pork egg rolls. Dave said the wings were good and crispy. I thought the egg rolls were good too. Not as amazing as Nine Dragons, but they were good! We were barely a few bites in and our entrees came. We gave up our appetizers although we weren't done.
Steak and Shrimp for me and Ribs for him. We switched rices. I got his Chicken Fried rice and he got my Jasmine rice... just like we asked My shrimp was great the steak was good too. At this point in the week, I had lots of steak and it was like... just another steak. I was all about the rice and shrimp. Very yum. Dave really liked the hoisin ribs. He liked the food a lot.
Dessert was next. I went with the sorbet sampler and he went with the fried wontons. We both were very happy
When it was time to pay the bill, the waiter re-did the speech on being a non-Disney restaurant. LOL OKAY!! We get it. I'm not sure why he was so intense on this matter, but it was getting to be a turn off! We paid with not nearly as much drama as he made it out to be, and left. It was a shame for such a good meal to be associated with such dramatic service. Even if you're not a Disney owned restaurant, you are in a Disney park, so semi-badmouthing Disney is not exactly smart. The other ones on the Dining Plan don't freak out like that. Geesh. Anyway, I would eventually eat here again... at least to be able to dry my hands with the Dyson
