Caribbean Beach Resort at Walt Disney World is nearly finished its years-long renovation, and in October, visitors were finally able to enjoy one of the centerpieces of the resort’s re-imagining: Centertown Market! Centertown Market We had dinner here shortly after the quick service and grab-and-go spot opened, and to be honest, it was a little hit or miss. We loved the kids’ beef tacos, but the create-your-own-bowl with fish was kind of… wet. Still, it’s a menu packed with customizable options and several vegan/vegetarian options, so we appreciate the effort that’s gone into it. Caribbean Beach Resort’s Centertown Market The breakfast menu, like the dinner menu, offers several intriguing options. Centertown Market Breakfast Menu The menu includes another Create-Your-Own-Bowl offering for which diners select a base, style of egg, and protein. Create Your Own Bowls Other offerings include cool-sounding combinations of ingredients like Strawberry-Guava French Toast. French Toast, Pancakes, etc! And since breakfast is the most important meal of the day (right along with second breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner, and dessert), we wanted to show you what Centertown Market has to offer. I started with one of the unique flavor offerings: Strawberry-Guava French Toast. This breakfast is a House-made Thick-sliced Brioche French Toast stuffed with Guava Cream Cheese and topped with fresh Strawberry Guava and Cream Cheese Sauces. Strawberry Guava French Toast Believe it or not, this was my least favorite item of the day. The flavors were off-putting, and the sauces on top were thick and cloying. Texturally, it was unpleasant — dense and gooey in the center and nothing really to counteract that. Strawberry Guava French Toast All of our taste-testers were weirded out by it. Yeah, avoid the Strawberry Guava French Toast. If you’re looking for a breakfast staple to load up on carbs, the Chocolate Chip Pancakes were one of the more enjoyable items of the morning. These are standard pancakes filled and topped with mini chocolate chips. It’s definitely on the sweet side, but at least with the pancakes you get what you expect, and they taste fine. Chocolate Chip Pancakes The Open Faced Roasted Vegetable Omelet was a decent choice if you’re looking for super healthy eats. Diners can choose between cage-free eggs or egg whites, and the arugula on top is a nice addition. Open Faced Roasted Vegetable Omelet It’s not particularly inspired or flavorful, but this is an acceptable, low-carb, vegetarian option for breakfast. Open Faced Roasted Vegetable Omelet Bowls are all the rage at Walt Disney World right now, and Centertown Market features a Create-Your-Own-Bowl on both the breakfast and the lunch/dinner menus. For breakfast, diners select a protein, a base, and an egg. Proteins include Bacon, Rotisserie Beef, Plant-Based Sausage, and Chorizo. I went with Chorizo, and I liked the slight spice. (I pretty much always want more spice, though, and that held true here.) The scrambled eggs and home fries I chose were fine, but they weren’t anything special. That said, this was still the best item I tried at the meal. Create Your Own Breakfast Bowl The bowl does come with your choice of Salsa Verde or Pico de Gallo. I also tried two of the kids’ menu options (we hear you, parents who want to know more about the kids’ menu offerings at WDW!). First up: the weirdest thing I’ve probably ever tried for breakfast: the Cage-Free Egg Popper. Believe it or not, this is basically an egg lollipop (???!!!) with Green Bacon Powder, Green Pirate Juice, Roasted Pineapple, and (actual) Bacon. In case you’re wondering, Green Bacon Powder is basically a bacon-flavored powder that’s the same texture as confectioner’s sugar…super weird, and Green Pirate Juice seemed just to be a murky-looking mix of fruit juices. Cage-Free Egg Popper Yeah, hard pass on this one for me. Maybe a kid with an adventurous approach to food would like it, but it’s otherwise just… odd. The Kids’ menu Chocolate Chip Pirate Doubloons & Gold Nuggets were a major improvement from the Egg Popper (but that’s not necessarily a difficult jump to make). These are essentially just small Chocolate-Chip Pancakes topped with some “gold nuggets”. Chocolate Chip Pirate Doubloons & Gold Nuggets And yup, Gold Nuggets are metallic-dusted mini chocolate chips. These pancakes were fun and tasty (same standard pancake as the adult version, just smaller), and plenty of kiddos would enjoy these. Gold Nuggets! Overall, breakfast at Centertown Market was mostly a miss, unfortunately. Nothing wowed, and there were a couple of items I wouldn’t eat again. The menu features plenty of options here, but they just didn’t work for me. If you’re staying at Caribbean Beach Resort, it’s a convenient spot to fuel up for the day. But unless you’re really looking to try some unique (and possibly not great) breakfast items, Centertown Market won’t be a destination for dining. Click here to see our full review of dinner at Centertown Market! And watch the video below for our peek at all the new restaurants at Caribbean Beach Resort!  Which of these breakfast items appeals most to you? Let us know in the comments!

At the age of 18, Auli’I Cravahlo has one of the most recognizable voices on the planet. Known to Disney fans around the world as the voice of the title character in the film “Moana,” Auli’i showcased both inner strength and vulnerability of the modern Disney princess – qualities she also brought to her narration of the 2018 “Candlelight Processional,” part of the Epcot International Festival of the Holidays. We caught up with Auli’i before her second night of performances at Epcot where she told us what the “Candlelight Processional” means to her. And she had a special guest visitor as well. Epcot International Festival of the Holidays Holiday traditions from around the world come to life at Epcot International Festival of the Holidays, featuring the new Holiday Cookie Stroll and new food and beverage at Holiday Kitchens. Through Dec. 30, Epcot brims with holiday magic, as guests will be able to sample international seasonal delicacies, delight in live entertainment, and enjoy festive decor. Guests discover a festival like no other, featuring the joyous holiday traditions of our 11 World Showcase nations. Epcot International Festival of the Holidays surrounds you in the wondrous sights, sounds and flavors of the season, as celebrated by cultures near and far. Guests also savor some of the most delectable holiday dishes from across the globe at 12 specialty kitchens set around World Showcase. New items this year include black forest roulade with cherry whipped cream at the Bavaria Holiday Kitchen in the Germany Pavilion and sofrito-marinated beef with sweet plantains and olives at the Feast of the Three Kings Holiday Kitchen.

Boatwright’s Dining Hall might just be one of Walt Disney World‘s best-kept dining secrets. Located within Port Orleans Riverside, it’s a great spot to seek out if you’re looking for a quiet table service dinner outside of the parks. Boatwright’s Dining Hall Boatwright’s has had a few menu updates since our last visit and most recent guest review (hello, All-You-Care-to-Enjoy Chef’s Platter!), so we were excited to get back to Port Orleans Riverside to check it out. Atmosphere If you weren’t looking for Boatwright’s Dining Hall, you might never know it’s there. This table service restaurant is open for dinner only and specializes in down-home, southern-style cuisine. It’s also one of the easier Walt Disney World restaurants to get into without a reservation or on short notice. Outside at Port Orleans Resort — Riverside Boatwright’s Dining Hall recently debuted the All-You-Care-to-Enjoy Chef’s Platter, and we were very much looking forward to the opportunity to try it out. Boatwright’s All You Care to Enjoy Chef’s Platter But first! This restaurant is themed after an old boat construction warehouse, so you can anticipate being greeted with warm lighting, a casual feel, and various boat-building tools and boat hulls as decor. Boatwright’s Host Stand Boatwright’s — There’s a Boat Hull “In Progress” Hanging from the Ceiling The theme of a boat-building warehouse is carried through from the in-progress boat hull to the tools on the wall to the compass-like in-lay on the tables. Boatwright’s Ship Building Tool Decor Whether you’re here for a dinner for two or have your whole family with you, Boatwright’s can accommodate groups of any size. Plus, the kiddos in your group will probably love looking at all of the tools on the wall and listening as the parents make up the purpose of the tool! Seating and decor Cozy seating. Love the light fixtures! Boatwright’s Seating Alright, I think it’s time to place our order! Boatwright’s Starters As we’ve mentioned once or twice before, there’s an addition to the menu here. You can now get an All-You-Care-To-Enjoy Chef’s Platter here in addition to other entrees. Boatwrights Menu Boatwright’s also offers a special “Best of the Bayou” Menu which is a four-course prix-fixe menu. This menu really does offer some of the best or most popular items on their full menu, so if you’re looking for this type of meal dive in! Boatwright’s “Taste of the Bayou” Menu A full bar, River Roost, is next door and Boatwright’s can offer a full range of cocktails, beers, non-alcoholic specialty drinks, as well as fountain drinks. Boatwright’s Drinks Menu Each meal at Boatwright’s Dining Hall starts with warm, sweet cornbread and fluffy whipped butter. This is still complementary, which is nice…so many restaurants now charge for the bread service. Cornbread with Whipped Butter If you’d like something more than cornbread, there are plenty of appetizers available! The Andouille Sausage-Cheese Dip ($13) is served in a bread bowl and features Andouille sausage in a three cheese blend. Andouille Sausage-Cheese Dip This one is yummy, but the well in the bread for the cheese dip is small. So the cheese dip portion is on the stingy side. If your favorite part of this is eating the bread bowl afterwards, you’ll be fine. But if you’re looking for ample dip, this won’t suffice. Still the flavors are excellent, and this isn’t too spicy if you have a less adventurous eater in your party. Andouille Sausage-Cheese Dip Continuing the cheese theme, the Mardi Gras Fritters ($9) are filled with house-made pimiento cheese and are served over pepper jelly. These were highly recommended to me by a friend and I can totally see why! Mardi Gras Fritters Our server told us that these are “what mozzarella cheese sticks want to be when they grow up,” and that’s basically the perfect description. They have a mozzarella cheese stick feel…just with bigger flavors. Mardi Gras Fritters Entrees Entree time! Let’s start with the new on the menu All-You-Care-To-Enjoy Chef’s Platter. With this platter, you get bottomless ribs, Nashville hot chicken, smoked sausage, barbecued beef brisket, mashed potatoes, macaroni & cheese, street corn, and green beans for $33. It reminds us a lot of the All-You-Care to Enjoy Skillet at Wilderness Lodge‘s Whispering Canyon Cafe. This All-You-Care-To-Enjoy Chef’s Platter at Boatwright’s is a great opportunity to try a variety of different dishes and sides that’ll please multiple palates. All-You-Care-To-Enjoy Chef’s Platter Unfortunately it’s not all “wow” material. The hot chicken had great flavor, but was tough and dry; and unfortunately the breading was almost sharp feeling and too crunchy. The brisket was fine, but not as flavorful as I’d like. The sausage was very good, and the ribs were very tender and acceptable flavor-wise. The mac and cheese was creamy, but bland. And the corn wasn’t akin to any elotes or street corn I’ve had before. It just didn’t come together. So the skillet is an OK option if you want to try a lot of different things; but I’d probably stick with one of the better entrees like the prime rib or jambalaya, personally. The Deep South Shrimp and Grits ($23) comes with creamy, Charleston-style grits, Andouille sausage, and sustainable shrimp, topped off with red-eye gravy. The gravy here was truly delicious, and the grits and shrimp were quite good. The sausage gave some great flavor as well. If you’re a shrimp and grits fan, I’d recommend. Deep South Shrimp and Grits General Fulton’s Prime Rib ($35) is slow-roasted in Boatwright’s signature blend of chicory-coffee seasoning and served alongside mashed potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and horseradish cream. This was as good as it’s always been — not as good as the Prime Rib over at the new Snow White character meal at Artist Point, but still worth the price. General Fulton’s Prime Rib You can’t have a southern-style restaurant without Jambalaya. A New Orleans classic, Boatwright’s Jambalaya ($19), features spicy shrimp, chicken, and Andouille sausage over rice. A vegetarian version is available, too! This is one of my favorite dishes here historically, but, honestly, it might be better to grab it at Sassagoula Float Works over at Port Orleans French Quarter — I think it’s a little better there (and cheaper). Boatwright’s Jambalaya Desserts You can’t have dinner at Walt Disney World without having dessert, right!? We ordered four on our visit and they were ALL delicious — seriously the highlight of the meal! The major bummer for desserts here, though, was that instead of buttercream frosting, the restaurant used whipped panna cotta as an accent texture. I really missed that sweet-salty flavor and heavier texture of the buttercream frosting here. Boatwrights Dessert Menu Boatwright’s After-Dinner Drinks Menu First up was this Red Velvet Cheesecake ($8). The red velvet was clearing an accent here as there wasn’t much of it; but there didn’t need to be. The cheesecake was excellent on its own, though my dining companion and I both thought that this could be a no-added-sugar dessert considering how little sweetness there was to it. Red Velvet Cheesecake According to the menu, there’s bourbon-vanilla cream involved, but that’s not really a flavor we tasted a lot of. Red Velvet Cheesecake The Joie de Vivre Peanut Butter Mousse Cake ($8) comes with peanut brittle and triple berry sauce. I expected this one to be a typical blah-bland “candy bar” dessert as I’ve seen in so many Disney restaurants lately. But I was SUPER surprised! The peanut butter layer was almost like a light cookie dough, and the flavors were SO GOOD. I can definitely recommend this one! The bottom layer, by the way, is a super dense brownie. Joie de Vivre Peanut Butter Mousse Cake How about some St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake ($8)? I LOVE LOVE LOVE butter cake, and always order it when it’s on a menu. This one was wonderful — if a little too sweet (I know, how is that possible!?). This version is topped with bourbon sauce and toffee brittle. St. Louis Gooey Butter Cake Don’t worry, we didn’t forget the chocolate! Spiced chocolate sauce and whipped vanilla panna cotta have come together to make this Mississippi Mud Pie ($7). Even though I’m not a huge fan of the all-chocolate-all-the-time desserts, this one was actually very, very good. Mississippi Mud Pie If you’re looking for southern comfort food in a casual, comfortable atmosphere, give Boatwright’s Dining Hall a try! It’s tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the theme parks and the resort quick service locations, and you won’t have to stress yourself out trying to get a reservation. From meat-heavy dishes to vegetarian options, there’s something for everyone in your travel party! I know a lot of my readers and viewers don’t LOVE this one, but honestly I’m pretty pleased with it each time I go. Don’t Miss Out on Any Disney Fun!

With flavors like Black Olive Brittle & Goat Cheese and the seasonal Salted Caramel Thanksgiving Turkey, the Salt & Straw small batch ice cream scoop shop has certainly been making its mark in Disneyland’s Downtown Disney District since the October opening of the Anaheim location.

All-American Sundae — Main Street Plaza Ice Cream Parlor This photo is all about the close-up details that make us want to dig in! The combination of peanut butter and chocolate is always a winner for us, but melty peanut butter and hot fudge + peanut butter and chocolate chips? Please! That shocking red cherry is a great contrast, too. Up Close and Personal with Plaza Ice Cream Parlor’s All-American Sundae Bread Service — Sanaa, Animal Kingdom Lodge When AJ dined at Sanaa earlier this year, she was lucky enough to be joined by a feathered friend — and we all loved the resulting picture! Not only does the photo capture our favorite Sanaa food item — Bread Service! — but the crane is so perfectly posed that it looks like we planned this! Sanaa bread service We didn’t plan it, but we sure do love it! Mango and Strawberry Sorbet — L’Artisans des Glaces, Epcot’s World Showcase You know those vacation shots that return you precisely to the moment you took the photo? You can feel the heat, hear the sounds, taste the sorbet? That’s this picture for us. That melting Mango and Strawberry Sorbet is a dead giveaway that it was a hot day in Epcot’s France, and we love a food memory that also serves as a place memory. Mango and Strawberry Sorbet Cone Also: yum. Gingerbread Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich — Schmoozie’s, California Adventure Disneyland Resort is fully in the holiday spirit in 2018, and the parks have the snacks to prove it! We loved this Gingerbread Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich so much! From the gingerbread man chocolate piece on top to the crushed gingersnaps stuck into that cinnamon brown sugar ice cream, it was visually interesting and delicious! New Gingerbread Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich at Schmoozies! Bacon Mac and Cheese Fries — Casey’s Corner, Magic Kingdom Hellooooo, gorgeous! Casey’s Corner was on it’s A-game this year, with hot dogs and French fries loaded with tons of delicious stuff — including the 12 Days of Christmas Dogs! And a Poutine Dog! And (finally!) a Vegan Slaw Dog! (Yeah, Casey’s was busy in 2018!) One of our favorite additions were the Bacon Mac and Cheese Fries because #carboverload. Doesn’t this picture make you want to head straight to Main Street, U.S.A.?! Bacon Mac and Cheese bacon Fries at Casey’s Corner Tink’s Pixie Dusted Cone — Storybook Treats, Magic Kingdom One of our favorite things about Disney food this year was the number of Instagram-able treats! Tink’s Pixie Dusted Cone was one of our favorites! The key lime Dole whip first appeared in the Peter Pan Float (which we also loved!). But Tink’s treat was a whole new level! Fluffy green cotton candy encircled a green cone, and it was topped off with a pair of fairy wings! Yeah, this was tasty, but it was also Like-able! Tink’s Pixie Dusted Cone Rose Gold Cupcake — Sunshine Seasons, Epcot’s Future World The year started off with a bang when we broke the news that the Rose Gold Cupcake that sparked a thousand rose gold cupcakes (and other treats!) was spotted. This beauty was created by the dessert geniuses at Sunshine Seasons, and it was love at first bite. How could it go wrong with all. that. frosting? Rose Gold Minnie Ears Cupcake Steak Frites — Wine Bar George, Disney Springs Disney Springs was a rush of growth again in 2018. Terralina Crafted Italian and Wolfgang Puck Bar & Grill opened to fanfare with celebrity chefs and delicious eats. But one of the most hotly anticipated openings was Florida’s first and only master sommelier-owned Wine Bar George. Unsurprisingly, one of our favorite dishes at Wine Bar George was Steak Frites. This picture brings us right back to those crispy fries, flavorful steak, and killer caramelized onion aioli. Steak Frites at Wine Bar George Disney World Festival of Fantasy Float Fire Yikes — remember in May when the Maleficent float in the Festival of Fantasy Parade in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom caught fire mid-parade? Luckily no one was hurt except the dragon herself. While this may not have been a favorite ocurrance, it certainly did WOW us. Disney World Parade Float Fire Toy Story Land — Disney’s Hollywood Studios Okay, so this one isn’t a food pic, but how can we survey the year in photos without paying homage to Toy Story Land and its epic design? Here Jessie uses a lasso of Christmas lights to wrangle Rex, whose teetering on the top of a tower of Jenga blocks. It’s so much cuteness and cleverness in one photo. Take us baaaaack! Toy Story Land is larger than life! But our favorite detail might just be Andy’s shoe print, permanently printed onto the walkway of the new land. Who thinks of this stuff?! We loved it! Toy Story Land We went live from Toy Story Land to bring you all the colorful, thoughtful details — including this full tour from our DFB YouTube channel. It’s not, you know, expressly a photograph, but something this grand deserves video.  Jack Jack Cookie Num Num — Jack-Jack Cookie Num Nums, Pixar Pier Oh, Pixar Pier: you were ushered in by the totally incredible Pixar Fest that brought dozens of Pixar-themed eats and drinks to the parks of Disneyland Resort. And when Pixar Pier finally opened, Jack-Jack Cookie Num Nums was just one of several cool (and tasty) snack spots we had to check out. Jack Jack sells cookies — fabulously thick cookies full of chocolate chunks. And @diningindisney‘s perfect Incredibles skirt was an amazing backdrop for this one! Jack Jacks Cookie Num Nums Flight of Passage — Animal Kingdom’s Pandora Okay, now this picture we love because of the awesome story behind it — and because it’s a sight we honestly thought we’d never see! Night one of Animal Kingdom After Hours was tons of fun, with non-existent lines, lots of fun after dark lighting and effects, and five-minute wait times for ev.er.y.thing. Yup: that includes Flight of Passage. Hence this shot, in which we were the only ones in the chamber! What?! One Avatar Match for the one person in the chamber Milkshakes — Beaches and Cream, Yacht and Beach Club Resort Our final shot is an ode to all things over-the-top in Disney food: Milkshakes topped with awesomeness at Beaches & Cream! These babies are super fun. Chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry milkshakes are topped with full size desserts like cupcakes and brownies. The shakes are, of course, delicious! But they’re also Instagram-able, share-able, and once-in-a-lifetime treats… which is one of the things we love most about Disney food! (Oh, and you get to keep the cup!) New Beaches and Cream Shakes We hope that you enjoy our photos as much as we enjoy bringing them to you! Don’t forget to follow us on Instagram where we share food pics all. day. long.

The year 2018 was a lot of fun for the Disney Parks Blog team, especially when it came to planning Disney Parks Blog Meet-Ups, offering advanced movie screenings and first-looks at new attractions and returning annual events for our readers. Our teams at both the Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resorts always look forward to meeting our readers face to face – and to celebrate the newest Disney experiences with some of the biggest Disney fans out there!

Aulani Resort is full of details and stories. And some of the brightest details include the beautiful light fixtures positioned around the resort. We have several different types that all tell a story, but my favorite are the ‘umeke, or bowls. Using bowls for storage, or even having a large bowl for poi is still common among families of Hawai‘i today. So, seeing bowls around really speaks to the home away from home that Aulani Resort is to our guests and Disney Vacation Club members. Next time you are on vacation at Aulani Resort, look to the bowls for inspiration on what you should do next! For instance, you might have noticed that our ‘umeke have no lids. That’s because our ‘umeke are filled with stories and we wanted them to freely flow. On your next visit, you may want to check out the Menehune Adventure Trail, or maybe even enjoy one of our Makaʻikaʻi resort tours to experience those stories. Our ‘umeke also have designs and prints on them. Perhaps the next time you come down you can experience our Kapala Ki‘i T-shirt printing activity and learn a little more about the designs. If I’m lucky, maybe I’ll run into you on your next visit while you enjoy the warm lights of Makaʻala, our lobby area, in the evening time. That’s one of my favorite places to sit and appreciate the beauty of Aulani. This will be my last blog post, it has been wonderful to share more ʻolelo Hawaiʻi with all of you these past two years. Mahalo for learning together! A hui hou. Note: In printed materials, Aulani Resort uses the contemporary spelling of Hawaiian words, which includes marks such as the kahako (macron). Because these marks do not often display correctly in electronic formats, including the text of the Disney Parks Blog, we’ve omitted them. View the full article

It’s no small thing turning the calendar from one year to the next, and with 2019 arriving at warp speed, we got to thinking about all the awesome eats from 2018 that we’d want to munch on as we ring in the new year. Here are our picks for Five Awesome Eats You’ve Gotta Get in 2019 in Disney World! Storybook Dining — Artist Point, Wilderness Lodge Nothing says Walt Disney World quite as much as dining with fairy tale characters, and the brand new Storybook Dining experience in Artist Point at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Resort is one such dreamy meal. Happy New Year, Snow White! Not only can you say goodbye to 2018 with your Snow White pals (and the Evil Queen!), but you can also celebrate the coming year with delicious food. The Royal Prime Rib is truly celebratory and a terrific way to treat yourself to a year well done! We also loved the Stroll Through Nature Gnocchi, which would be a lighter way to start the new year! Royal Prime Rib Toffee Bread Pudding — House of Blues, Disney Springs West Side This year saw the demotion of ‘Ohana Bread Pudding — our long-standing favorite Disney dessert — to second place as the Toffee Bread Pudding at House of Blues in Disney Springs’ West Side took its place as our all-time favorite bread pudding in Disney World! Toffee Bread Pudding at House of Blues If you’re looking to ring in 2019 with some decadent dessert, the Whiskey Butter on top of the toffee-flecked, custard-soaked Toffee Bread Pudding is the way to go. Richness overload seems like the perfect way to cheer on the new year, yes? Cheddar Cheese Poutine — Refreshment Port, Epcot Nothing says Happy New Year like a bowl of Refreshment Port Cheddar Cheese Poutine. (At present this delight has been replaced by the Festival of the Holidays Poutine, but we’re watching for Cheddar’s return!). Bacon-laced Cheddar Cheese Soup (yup — the beloved soup from Le Cellier!) atop crispy French Fries is a snack dream come true! Refreshment Port’s Cheddar Cheese Poutine! Save the confetti and fireworks for everyone else; we want poutine. (Okay, we’ll take poutine and fireworks!) Massive Milkshakes — Beaches & Cream, Yacht and Beach Club Resorts Celebrating the coming new year in central Florida often means warm temperatures — and an excuse to consume milkshakes! We want to head straight for Beaches & Cream at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts because… well, just look. New Beaches and Cream Shakes These over-the-top milkshakes are basically dessert on top of dessert. Can’t go wrong with that combo no matter what day of the year it is! Bread Service — Sanaa, Animal Kingdom Lodge Kidani Village Really, what’s a new year’s celebration without one of our absolute favorite foods: Sanaa’s Bread Service at Animal Kingdom Lodge’s Kidani Village. This appetizer — a spread of flatbreads served with plentiful chutneys and sauces — is a celebration of flavors and colors, making it a must have for the new year! Bread Service at Sanaa!
