There is no shortage of amazing food when you visit Disney World. So deciding where to have your meals can be a difficult choice (to say the least).
To help you out, I've put together a list of all restaurants available to you at Animal Kingdom. The restaurants are broken up by Quick Service, Table Service, and Character Meals.
Here you'll find the restaurant, location, cuisine type, and a little information to help you decide where to get food at the parks.
A Quick Service Restaurant is one where you can walk up to a counter and order. No reservations are required, and you'll find your own seating.
