Where to Eat - The Easy Guide to Your First Walt Disney World Visit 2015 - page 226

• If you find yourself at Magic Kingdom, you can take the resort monorail to any of
the monorail resorts, or watercraft to Fort Wilderness or Wilderness Lodge.
• If you find yourself at Epcot, you can exit the park via the International Gateway
in between the United Kingdom and France Pavilions and either walk or take the
boat to any of the Epcot resorts.
Particularly for first-time visitors relying on Disney transportation away from the mono-
rail or Epcot area, our strong advice is eat where you otherwise plan to be in order to reduce
the time commitment of transferring from one place to another. If you simply can't resist
a breakfast with Mickey at the Contemporary or a romantic dinner at the Grand Floridian,
that's fine, too. But take a cab and consider it the low cost of doing business versus the high
cost of your time.
Dining at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge
Boma Flavors of Africa
Take the elevator to the first floor
CUISINE African-inspired. DDP Yes. DISCOUNTS 20% TiW; 10% AP; 10% DVC; 10% Dis-
ney Visa.
HOURS AND PRICES Breakfast (7:30-11:00am): $25 adults, $14 kids. Dinner (4:30-9:30pm):
$43 adults, $21 kids.
OVERVIEW Featuring a robust dinner menu of over 50 African-inspired specialties, Boma
is a favorite of many for its wide selection and high quality, unique options. Best are the
soups and roasted meats, but just about everything from the seasonal salads to the zebra
dome desserts are excellent. Kids enjoy the full buffet in addition to items like macaroni-
and-cheese, mashed potatoes, pasta, and baked chicken legs. Breakfast is more pedestrian
with the usual selection of French toast, Mickey waffles, bacon, sausage, and the like. The
only downside is that very few tables in the African-marketplace-themed dining room have
views of the savannas outside.

OVERVIEW Jiko isn't afraid to use a liberal amount of exotic spices on many of its constantly
changing menu items. Flatbreads, like the KG's Peri-Peri Roasted Chicken with Lime
Chakalaka, Lamb Chopper Cheese, and Pickled Sweet Bell Peppers are excellent. Filet
mignon, scallops, and short ribs are menu mainstays. Kids have a wide range of options
