Animal Kingdom · GOOFY’S TAKE

Rope Drop the Dinosaurs, Then Waddle to Sanaa

Howdy, it's ol' Goofy with your Thursday, October 15 read on Animal Kingdom. The park opens at 8 AM and closes at 6 PM tonight, and with crowds trending a moderate 6 out of 10, the morning's your friend for the headliners before the mid-day heat. Then here's the part that really raises my spirits: over at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, Sanaa's famous Indian-style Bread Service is on the menu for $23, five warm breads and nine accompaniments. It's an a la carte appetizer, so plan a full meal around it, not a cheap snack. Check the current menu and book ahead, and if you can't swing it, Sanaa's open to all diners. Gawrsh!
