Yak n Yeti question

[stormer]

We usually do lunch at Yak n Yeti on our Animal Kingdom day. We have the Landry’s card and like the flexibility of stopping for lunch whenever we are hungry. AK closes at 6:00 when we will be there in two weeks. We were thinking of doing dinner there this trip. How close to park closing do they normally accept walk ups (with the Landry’s card)? Anyone have any experience arriving close to park closing?

They will usually take reservations up until nearly to park close, however I don't recommend it. Even though the servers will be nice, they are at the end of their day and want to go home, you may feel rushed or they begin their closing duties while you are still eating. They will try to be discreet, but that "it's time for you to go" vibe can happen. Food isn't always the freshest at the end of the day, either. Some items (sides) are often prepared in batches and the closer it gets to closing, they may not prepare additional, they will make a larger batch prior to close and hope it lasts until the last order comes in. I'd either go at 5pm or at lunch, not close to 6pm. YMMV!

I’d check the MDE app for that day’s hours and use the ending time listed as a guide for last seating time. I just checked, and the app says dinner is until 5:50 PM (AK closing at 6:00).
