Picnic in the Park at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

If you ask people what food they expect to find at any of the Disney themeparks most people will say hamburgers and fast food. If you are looking forward to a Disney vacation but dreading a week of fast food then you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find out that Disney themepark food isn’t your usual cardboard fast food affair – there are many healthy options available at both counter service and table service restaurants throughout the parks. If you’re heading over to Disney’s Animal Kingdom then you now have another option – a Picnic in the Park.

The Picnic in the Park option is just what it says – you order a family meal when you enter the park in the morning and then at lunch time you collect your picnic – in a fabulous “Every Tree Has Character” reusable bag which you’ll be able to use back home. You then head to one of many designated ‘picnic spots’ throughout the park and enjoy your entree, side dish, dessert, and bottle of water. There are quite a few options to choose from and you can see all the details here: http://allears.net/din/akpicnic.htm.

The smallest portion size you can purchase is a meal for two and the Disney Dining Plan is accepted by exchanging one counter service credit per person in your party.
