If you’re staying at a Disney Resort Hotel, use Extra Magic Hours – these give you the opportunity to escape the crowds and visit the parks outside of regular opening hours at no extra charge.

Dining

Jiko - The Cooking Place

African Cuisine

Discover a delicious blend of traditional African, Indian and Mediterranean cuisine. Steak, chicken, seafood and plant-based dishes are infused with a uniquely bold blend of tantalizing flavors and fragrant spices.

Changing seasonally, the menu may include flavor bursting appetizers like imaginative brick oven-fired flatbreads and mouth-watering entrées such as oak-grilled filet mignon.
Boma - Flavours of Africa

Family-Friendly Buffets

Under thatched roofs, savor vibrant flavors from over 50 African countries—along with favorite American classics. Greet your day with a cup of full-bodied Kenyan AA coffee, tropical juice and a bountiful breakfast buffet. Selections may include made-to-order omelets, French toast bread pudding, pastries, carved ham, fresh fruit and turkey bobotie—a type of South African quiche.

At dinner, watch chefs prepare Oak roasted meats, vegetarian specialties, coastal seafood dishes, fresh salads and house-baked pastries in the onstage kitchen. Guests 21 years of age and up delight in unique South African wines—many of which are available by the glass.

Advance reservations are highly recommended.
Sanaa

Experience the art of African cooking with Indian flavors, as exotic animals roam the Sunset Savanna before you.
Victoria Falls Lounge

Sample suds from South Africa before or after dinner inside this intimate bar overlooking Boma restaurant. A host of South African wines are also featured, all of which can be enjoyed in the flickering ambience of the fire pit outside.
Uzima Springs

Invigorate your senses at this “spring of life” with cocktails, frozen drinks and more! Sip on a glass of sangria beneath the thatched hut or pop the top off a bottle of African beer.
The Mara

Named for a river flowing through Kenya and Tanzania, this savanna-like space serves classic entrees and grab n' go favorites.

Very disappointing for the money, Needs a lot doing and the rides were constantly down. 3 times queued and it broke down every time so did not get to ride at all. Not good value for money.

Must go early in the morning and do the safari, you see all the animals feeding. Highly Recommend the lion King show its a must.

4 stars:

It was ok but unless you get there at rope drop you won’t get a decent spot or any shade, which is not good in that heat, Disney has become all about paying extra now so there are cabanas to rent and other spots too but as you’ve already paid to get in and in our case paid to fly over and stay it’s ridiculous that when you get there almost everything is extra???

Love all the Star Wars stuff, it’s not what it was but still good, a few things closing but hopefully being replaced by better things

Trusted Customer reviewed Disney's Hollywood Studios 03 Oct, 2025
4 stars:

Good park, good rides (when you can get on them) some good shady spots away from the heat but like everything else disney these days it’s very expensive for any food or merch?

Trusted Customer reviewed Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park 03 Oct, 2025
4 stars:

Epcot is good for a slow day and walk around, just keep hydrated, not many rides so the ones they do have can be long waits (unless you pay for lightning lanes) and as you’ve already paid to get in these extras are a slap in the face to the visitors
