food IS a theme park
If you’ve been reading Disney Food Blog for a while, you probably know that we love Nomad Lounge at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Nomad Lounge
This lounge spot is perfect for a quick bite or a nice refreshing drink when you want a break from the crowds! On a recent trip to Animal Kingdom, we stopped by Nomad Lounge for lunch and found a returning special we hadn’t seen in a while, so we decided to try it out!
Have you ever been walking around Animal Kingdom and thought “I wish I had a comfy seat in the AC and a nice cocktail right about now?” If you have, you gotta head over to Nomad Lounge!
Nomad Lounge bar
Nomad Lounge is connected to Tiffins on Discovery Island (right before you walk down toward Pandora) and is a first come, first served bar and lounge. The inside has large lounge chairs and a big bar and the outside has a really nice deck in the shade where you can feel like you’re in an oasis. This is one of our favorite spots to chill, have a drink, and some snacks! They have some of the best churros in Disney, delicious drinks, and some fun limited time menu offerings. And, today is a good day, because there’s a NEW dessert over at Nomad Lounge, so come with us to check it out!

It’s that time of the year when the weather starts cooling off a bit and we even start thinking we might even need a sweater at night (yes, it DOES happen occasionally in Florida).
Soup is good food.
It’s also the holiday season, which means while we’re enjoying all the fun holiday decor at Disney World while we start buying ALL the new holiday merchandise, we also want to eat serious winter comfort food. And you know what we’re talking about, right? SOUP! We want soup!
Especially for nature-lovers and people who like to feel like they’re flying on a banshee, Animal Kingdom is a pretty perfect park in Disney World.

But even “pretty perfect” can come with mistakes if you’re doing the park the wrong way!
One of the most wonderful things about going to Disney World is the food — yeah, we’re biased, but that’s what we do!
Time to Dig in!
And when folks in the know think food in Disney World, chances are their thoughts drift to EPCOT. It’s basically a magical, wonderful place for food from around the WORLD — you can have lunch in Italy, a drink in Mexico, a snack in France, and dinner in Germany! But did you know that you can eat around the world at other parts of Disney World without ever stepping foot into EPCOT?
