Animal Kingdom has a lot to offer. Between the animals, the attractions, the shows, the food, and the shopping, there is quite a bit to keep guests busy during their visit. Now, there is another option for food.
According to Disney Parks Blog, Thirsty River Bar and Trek Snacks is now open. It’s a quick service option and is located near Expedition Everest. The menu has a variety of options, so most people should be able to find something to eat.
Like everything in Disney, there is a theme for this new quick service location. Disney says:
Originally the home for a popular Sherpa family, mementos have been tacked on the walls by travelers, but the rest of the décor is sparse and functional aside from the stable tack.
