Hey all, just wanted to drop a note about a new lunch offering that is available at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge called "Dine with Animal Specialists... an "Untamed" Lunch at Sanaa". Advertising for this is pretty limited since it launched two weeks ago but it's available every Wednesday for a single seating for up to 12 Guests per day at 11:30am to 1:15pm. While there is no age limit, there is a recommended age of 8 and up.

If you wanted to learn and speak with folks at the Resort that care for our wonderful animals everyday, this is your chance similar to the "Lunch with an Imagineer" offering at Disney's Hollywood Studios. With this you get a four-course lunch, offering trios of some of the wonderful food offerings at Sanaa with every course. There is also a special children's menu.

Price is $49.00 for folks ages 10+ and $29.00 for children ages 3-9 with a portion of the price going to Disney's Wildlife Conservation Fund. Tax and gratuity is not included (18% gratuity will automatically added to the check) and Disney Dining Plan is not accepted.

When I did the preview it was the Indian Bread Service (with all the sauces), the trio of their salads (chickpeas with cucumber & tomato, watermelon with lime & radish, and the roasted beets), trio of their slow cooked in gravy items (chicken in the red curry, beef short rib, and shrimp in the green curry), and the trio of desserts (chocolate cake, passion fruit kulfi, and the wonderful signature chai cream). Lots of food even though it's small samples.

The only way you can book this new offering currently (until it is officially "in the dining reservation system" later this year) is through a Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge Concierge Cast Member. If you would like to book, shoot me a PM with; your name, number of folks in your party, date that you are interested in attending, and a phone number. Also please note any allergies or dietary food requirements in your PM as well so I can pass that along.

If you have any questions, shoot me a PM or just reply here and I'll try to answer them ASAP. 8:)

Do you have to be staying in a Concierge level room at the AKL to participate?

Oops... a clarification.

Children can order a "complete meal" off the children's menu or order a la carte.

Oops. Need to mention that there is no short rib for the entree trio and there is a bowl of basmati rice as well.
