Circle of Flavors: Harambe at Night,

 an exciting new dining event coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, will begin on July 24 and we can hardly wait! On select nights from July 24-October 23, attendees will embark on a 3-hour progressive dining adventure in this beautiful park.

Want to know more about Circle of Flavors: Harambe at Night? If so, you’re in luck! Disney has released a comprehensive food guide for the family-friendly culinary event!

The evening begins with a welcome reception at the Harambe Train Station with light hors d’oeuvres accompanied by music. During the reception, guests will snack on meat pies, Durban chips and dip, an assortment of meats and cheeses, and sip on a Harambellini, a specialty cocktail featuring sparkling South African wine blended with passion fruit, orange, and guava juices. The kids will have plenty to eat as well! They will munch on cheese, fruit, and Tofaa (chocolate caramel-dipped green apples).

After the reception, guests will board the train and head to Rafiki’s Planet Watch. While there, attendees will sample spiced crisp plantains, South African oat and coconut bars, and Sundowner Safari Mix. Little ones will enjoy seasonal fruit and Trail Mix Bites. Of-age guests can sip on the Chief’s Shandy (Tusker beer blended with lemonade), and Wanjohi’s Dawa, a refreshing blend of tequila, pineapple, mango, and Ancho chile.

The grand finale of the progressive dining event will take place in Harambe Market, where guests will enjoy a variety of dishes in a street party atmosphere. The menu includes a variety of dishes and desserts inspired by the five featured African Animals (African Lion, Cape Buffalo, Rhinoceros, African Elephant, and Leopard).
