The Disney Traveler

Disney’s Animal Kingdom is creating a new restaurant to complement their latest thrill ride, Expedition Everest.  The restaurant will open in the Asia section of Animal Kingdom and will be called Anandapur Yak & Yeti Restaurant.  It will feature an Asian menu and provide both full service and counter service dining options.  A gift shop will also open as part of the dining experience, which will feature Asian items like teapots, dinnerware and chopsticks.

In true Disney tradition, the newest attraction at Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom, Expedition Everest, is not just a thrill ride but also a suspenseful story in a realistic setting.  The experience begins as you enter the Animal Kingdom and see Mt. Everest towering over the Central Florida horizon.  Next, head toward the Asia section of the Animal Kingdom park and pick up a Fast Pass if the wait is too long for you.  If you can’t wait another second to start your expedition, join the line and your adventure will begin.

For the first time, Walt Disney World has taken a popular animated film and turned it into a live musical show at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. I went to the preview of this attraction in late 2006 with an open mind and was thrilled to see Walt Disney succeeded again.
