If there is any place more picturesque than Disney World’s Animal Kingdom to enjoy a stroll or simply sit for a spell and take in your surroundings?
Tree of Life in Animal Kingdom
I think many would agree when we say, “Nope!” And now there are a few more places where you can do the latter (which we found while doing the former 😉 ) on our latest trip to the park!
Drinkwallah
is a spot where you can always grab a Frozen Coke or other frozen beverage and a few other snacks (currently, Cinnamon-Glazed Almonds and Pecans are also featured on the menu).

While the snack selection is somewhat limited — being focused on drinks, of course, as stated in the name — the views in this area of Animal Kingdom’s Asia aren’t limited at all!
Drinkwallah Surroundings
So the spot is highlighting that fact with a newly expanded seating area. You can take in the views surrounding you…

Lots of new chairs and umbrella-covered tables are now available in the Lower Garden Seating area, just waiting for you to pull up a chair and enjoy your Coconut-Lychee Lemonade.

What was once a spot a while back to meet and greet Baloo and King Louie is now a stroller parking area complete with a ramp.

Though not as expansive as the new Drinkwallah seating, there are still a few new benches in the area where you can enjoy a Triple Yeti Blast from the nearby Warung Outpost.

A new stage has been constructed as well, “for your future enjoyment.”

We wonder if this sign might give some clue as to the future entertainment?

And the view isn’t bad from here, either!

Of course, you could say that about pretty much anywhere in Animal Kingdom.

Last time we were at Animal Kingdom, we sat in the Drinkwallah area, right next to the sign about birds stealing your food… and a duck was sitting on a nest! It was pretty cool. We didn’t expect to see that.
