Aside from being far off the beat and path, Animal Kingdom Lodge is great place to have a meal if you are looking for something truly new and unique.  If you aren’t a guest at the resort, you’ll want to build in some extra time to get to your meal, but also some time to look around the resort afterwards and scout out the animals that call the resort home!
