Location: Animal Kingdom
Yak and Yeti is an Asian-style sit down restaurant in Animal Kingdom set in the mountains of Nepal. The theming and food is great, and it’s one of the few lunch and dinner sit-down options at the park.
Our family started going here a few years ago and have really enjoyed it. I love Asian food, so this spot is definitely a favorite of mine! It’s nice to sit in the AC and get a break from the park, especially when Animal Kingdom gets so humid in the summers.
What we like:
We didn’t always stay at Animal Kingdom for lunch (we’d head back to the resort and have lunch at the pool) because we never found somewhere we all liked, but this spot is a great option for families. They have an extensive menu, so even if someone in your group doesn’t like Asian food, they should be able to find something they’ll enjoy.
Things to note:
Because there aren’t a ton of sit down options at Animal Kingdom, reservations are essential for lunch and dinner here. Like most places now in Disney, if you just try to walk up and put your name in, you likely will wait a very long time, if you get in at all.
WDW Park Planners Tip:
Everything is very spread out at Animal Kingdom, so for your feet’s sake, you need to plan ahead before entering this park. Coordinate your Fast Passes with your dining reservation at Yak and Yeti. It’s right next to Expedition Everest (and Dinosaur and the Finding Nemo show aren’t too far away), so keep that in mind when choosing times!
