Best snacks at animal kingdom

[Smiling Cheshire Cat]

Heading to AK for just one day and already thinking about what I want to eat. What is your favorite snack there?

The cheeseburger pods from Satu'li Canteen are a must--I ask for a cup of the creamy herb dressing on the side to dip them in thanks to Molly and they're even better that way. The kid meal is nice for a snack if I don't want to get a full bowl.

I am also a huge fan of the African spiced corn from Harambe fruit market (not the outdoor food court situation with stalls. the actual fruit stand). It's basically elote without the cheese and it's fantastic.

In the morning we like to grab a cup of coffee and a donut at Royal Anandapur Coffee & Tea Co. We always end up in Pandora near the end of the night and try to grab some cheeseburger pods at Satu'li Canteen.

Frozen Chai at Royal Anandapur. I think they have a froze matcha too.
Chicken Dumplings Mr Kamal's
Cocktails at Dawa Bar
Tiger Tail from Isle of Java
Cinnamon Roll from Kusafiri
Pineapple Lumpia & giant pretzel Pongu Pongu
We used to get the Dole Whip with rum at Tamu Tamu, but the only use coconut rum now. They have a Dole Whip float with Pineapple Hard Cider that sounds good.

My favorite is the pineapple crisp sundae at Tamu Tamu refreshments.

Dole Whip with Coconut Rum.....they tell me...

There was a pretty mango/passionfruit cheesecake in Harambe market that was quite tasty (not sure if it's still there). Pineapple lumpia, African corn, and cheeseburger pods are go-tos.

Does Mr. Kamal's stand have good fries and dipping sauces? Those used to be one of my favorite treats at AK.

Nobody has mentioned the churros at Nomad. Best churros on Disney property (which isn’t a stretch). They whey are GF, and very crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

AK has the best snacks, in my opinion! My faves are the Harambe Fruit Market corn on the cob, anything at Satuli Canteen, Mr. Kamal's fries and sauce to dip in and the ice cream cookie sandwich at Dino Bites. Have fun!!

I like to pop into Zuri's Sweets Shop in Africa.

The pongo lumpia in Pandora.
The sweet shop in Africa used to have Zebra Domes. Not sure if they still do.

Zuri's Sweet Shop has the Butter Bars-the same ones from the Werther's Karmel Kuchen in Epcot. I love those, but I usually save getting them from Epcot itself. That way I can get the caramel smell from the shop.

I’m certainly not one to yuck someone’s yum, but we found Mr. Kamal’s fries to be underwhelming. The seasoning was fine, definitely a salt forward seasoning mix, but the sauce was basically mayonnaise and ketchup with maybe the tiniest bit of heat. Apparently the sauce used to be interesting, but the one that was available in December was boring. Just didn’t feel worth the money for fries.

Otherwise I’d echo the other recommendations.

I’ll second the Dawa’s cocktails. My favorite used to be the jalapeño pretzels but they have been gone for several years now

I agree that the sauce is kind of meh. But I really like the seasoning on the fries. its definitely salt based, but that's not always a bad thing when you're sweating out buckets under the sun

Mr. Kamal's Seasoned Fries have been so dumbed down to a shell of their former glory I don't even know why they still have them tbqh. The OGs with the tzatziki and sriracha were out of this world good and genuinely worth the time. I don't even bother with these ones now.

 

[Sweettears]

Jalapeño pretzel.oh wait…….

I second that choice. I like the haystacks - a mound of potato sticks coated with melted peanut butter chips. Best sweet/salty item I've ever had!
