Dinner at The Mara

The Mara, located at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge Jambo House, is a restaurant that serves classic quick service-style fare along with African inspired meals. Although I have not been to The Mara in a while, I always appreciate the options and flexibility that the chefs there provide guests. On this visit, we decided to stop by in the evening after work for a quick meal. We were getting ready to leave on a Disney Cruise soon, so neither Brandon or I were feeling like cooking as we got ready for vacation.

Dinner at Cookes of Dublin

Cookes of Dublin is a quick service restaurant located in Disney Springs. It has been a long-time favorite of mine for reasonably priced meals and lots of gluten free (and dairy free) options. Recently, we stopped by Cookes of Dublin for a quick dinner before we saw a movie. We’ve seen several movies at the AMC Dine-In Theatre there lately, and sometimes getting a quick and affordable meal before the movie is a nice treat.

Dinner at Kona Cafe

Kona Cafe is a table service restaurant located at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. It used to be one of my all-time favorite restaurants at Disney World for a delicious allergy-friendly breakfast, but I admit that it’s slipped off my list the last few years due to menu changes and reduced options. So, it’s been a while since I’ve been to Kona. On this particular occasion, Brandon and I decided to get dinner at Kona Cafe during a weeknight for a rare mid-week restaurant meal to see how the dinner options were.

Coral Reef located at Epcot (as of 10/2018) – This menu covers the top 8 common allergens (gluten/wheat, milk/dairy, egg, soy, peanut, tree nut, fish and shellfish). Check with the restaurant for modifications and/or other special dietary needs.
