Chelsea Gentry Our favorite Disney theme park is Animal Kingdom. Mostly because of the entertainment, but we are also big fans of the food. Below are 6 of the Best Foods in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Each one of these items was delicious and affordable and we highly recommend!
1. Giant Chocolate Chip Mickey Cookie – Zuri’s Sweet Shop
The first item we bought on our day in Animal Kingdom was this gigantic chocolate chip Mickey cookie at Zuri’s Sweet Shop. It’s near the safari entrance. It was chocolatey and crisp and delicious. Took the whole day to snack on it, but well worth the buy.
2. Chocolate Twist – Tamu Tamu Refreshments
Also located in the Africa area of Animal Kingdom is Tamu Tamu refreshments. They have a delectable Chocolate Twist. If you love croissants then you will love this chocolate twist. It was sweet, but light and dangerously easy to finish.
3. Baked Macaroni & Cheese with Pulled Pork – Flame Tree Barbecue
Our next stop for the 6 of the Best Foods in Disney’s Animal Kingdom was Flame Tree Barbecue. They have a mouthwatering dish of macaroni and cheese that’s topped with pulled pork, Onion Rings and Coleslaw. We all shared it and loved every bite. For some reason it reminded me of summer. You really can’t go wrong with Mac N Cheese with pulled pork.
4. “Teylu” All-Beef Hot Dog Wrapped in Dough – Satu’li Canteen
This might sound crazy, but my favorite thing we tried in Animal Kingdom was this pretzel dog thing. It was delicious. The chips were good, too! They had some sort of seasoning that was just incredible. If we go to Animal Kingdom again, I definitely want to visit Satu’li Canteen.
Update: We visited Animal Kingdom again and got the “Teylu.” It was amazing.
5. Cheeseburger Steamed Pods, Bao Buns – Satu’li Canteen
The second item we tried from the Satu’li Canteen were the Cheeseburger Steamed Pods. They are very aesthetically pleasing and such a “Pandora” thing to have for lunch. I enjoyed them, but my husband found the pods slightly underwhelming. I think he would have preferred more filling and less bread. Maybe some cheese? Still, they are yummy in my opinion.
6. Metkayina Mousse – Satu’li Canteen
This chocolate mouse concoction was delightful and has improved since our previous visits. My daughter loved the boba more than the actually dessert. It’s easy to share and just light enough. 10/10.
