A number of restaurants all around Disney World are still closed, operating under limited hours, or have a more limited menu than they did prior to the park closures.
But, if you’re looking to grab dinner at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, you can FINALLY stop by another one of their restaurants!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Villas — Kidani Village (the Disney Vacation Club Villas at the Resort) are open, and guests there can enjoy the amenities at Kidani Village and Jambo House (which is the main resort building).
Dining at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is very limited though considering Boma, Jiko, and other places there are still closed. But, a limited number of spots, including Sanaa, are open. Last year, The Mara reopened for a limited time for breakfast. And recently, it has still been available for those looking to grab a quick breakfast bite.
But, now guests will have the chance to eat ANOTHER meal at this restaurant. The Mara has now reopened for DINNER too!
Here’s a look at the Dinner Menu, which is being served from 4PM to 9PM. It includes a variety of different options including the Tamarind Barbecue Pork Sandwich, Marrakesh Falafel Platter, Chicken Strips, and more.
Here’s a peek at the Breakfast Menu and Desserts as well. And while it looked like they had removed Zebra domes from their menu when we checked recently, the menu now shows that the Zebra Domes are available here once again!
Guests are directed to use Mobile Order at this spot.
Inside, you’ll find the tables bunched together in particular arrangements, all distanced from one another.
Here’s another peek at the seating areas.
There are also designated Mobile Order pick-up areas.
And here’s a peek at some of the items available.
As we mentioned, there are a few items you can grab here for breakfast and now for dinner as well.
So, if you’re looking for a dinner option at Animal Kingdom Lodge, now you can stop by The Mara. We’ll keep an eye out for more Disney news and bring you all the latest!
