Have you ever wondered how they celebrate Thanksgiving on PANDORA?
Pandora — The World of AVATAR
If so, we’ve got an answer for you! Satu’li Canteen, the Counter Service location in Animal Kingdom’s Pandora — The World of AVATAR, is one of the places where you can enjoy a Thanksgiving meal if you’re dining in Walt Disney World on Turkey Day! [Read more…]
When the weather allows for it, it can be pretty nice to have a meal in the great outdoors — especially right now while we’re in the midst of a global pandemic.
Outside Dining Area
Health officials, including the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, consider dining outdoors to be a lower risk activity than dining indoors. Lucky for us, Disney has a lot of GREAT outdoor dining options, so you don’t have to feel limited. Let’s take a look at all the best places for that sunshine-y meal!
Pandora in Animal Kingdom is a surprising wealth of yummy meals and snacks. And Satu’li Canteen, the land’s quick-service dining location, is a total must-try dining spot!
Satu’li Canteen
From innovative combination bowls to our beloved Cheeseburger Steamed Pods, there’s something for almost everyone. Ahh, Cheeseburger Pods. We love this snack so much that we learned to make a copycat recipe at home! And now, we’re back in Animal Kingdom to snag a refreshed review!
Everyone has their favorite Disney snack! Whether you’re a corn dog nuggets fan, or you MUST get a Dole Whip every single day of your trip, there are SO many delicious options to choose from.

But, if you haven’t been to Disney World since it reopened, you may be wondering…“Can I still get some of my favorite snacks?” Some of our favorite treats have disappeared or are unavailable at the moment, but these 10 snacks are still available and ready for you to enjoy!
We’re coming at you with another Disney recipe today! Satu’li Canteen is one of our favorite counter service locations in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Located in Pandora, this dining hot spot is home to those awesome rice bowls and crazy otherworldly desserts. Another popular item are those cute little cheeseburger pods!
Cheeseburger Pods
If you’ve never had these little pockets of deliciousness, they’re basically a steamed bun loaded with all the flavors of a cheeseburger. Sounds strange, tastes AWESOME. It’s one of our favorite foods in all of Animal Kingdom (AND it just reappeared on the menu as an option for adults after only being a kids’ option for a while!). Turns out you can make these yummy snacks at home. (We promise. If we can do it SO CAN YOU!) Follow our recipe below and you’ll be whipping them up in your kitchen in no time!
We’re back with more updates from Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Tree of Life
Animal Kingdom officially reopened to the public just over a week ago, and we’ve been scoping out the restaurants, merchandise, and attractions to see what’s new! Despite the relatively low crowds (and wait times!) it looks like Disney is still movin’ and shakin’ because we have plenty of updates to share! [Read more…]
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is officially open to the public and we have been keeping our eyes on the ever-changing menus around the park.
Satu’li Canteen
A while back, the beloved Vegetable Curry Steamed Pods went missing from Satu’li Canteen menu in Pandora — World Avatar. Not long after, the Cheeseburger Steamed Pods were taken off the adult menu causing grief for bao bun fans everywhere. Well, we’ve got some news for our pod-loving friends! [Read more…]
Oh, Disney World restaurants — how we miss you!
Garden Grill Restaurant
While you know our affinity for spots like Wine Bar George (thank goodness the flaming cheese is back) and Garden Grill, there are a few restaurants around the parks we are missing more than we thought we would!
As we’ve previously seen before select Disney Springs dining locations and Disney World resort restaurants reopened, sweeping menu cuts are now occurring at several theme park restaurants.
Tony’s Town Square Restaurant
Just recently, Disney has shared with us which Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Animal Kingdom restaurants will be reopening on July 11th as well as which dining locations will be available when Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Epcot resume on July 15th. Disney is offering limited menus at many of the resorts and Disney Springs restaurants for the time being. And, now it looks like the parks are following suit.
