Sorry to hear Yak N Yeti was a disappointment. We do love it, but it certainly does get a little bit repetitive. Of course I do love me the Landrys card, especially when its my birthday
You have me so wanting to try the Star wars party. I know Jason would love it, but $50 for the kiddo seems insane.
$50 is a lot for a child. She will get the souvenir, but no alcohol to help it seem worth it. If we had children, I'm not sure we would have done it unless it was an older child that could really pack away some food.
hey...don't let him know you said that.
Oh, I didn't. I'm just mad my memory failed me, ha.
I’ve tried the ant salt and didn’t care for it. I haven’t been to Yak and Yeti the last few trips because I cannot resist Nomad Lounge but was thinking I might give it another try. The Landry’s card is a good deal, when not on the dining plan. Argh on the dessert party check-in time! You’d think CMs would know this stuff. Glad you were able to salvage and enjoyed. I’m not a dessert person - are there enough savory options and the reserved space good enough to “justify” (using fuzzy Disney math, of course)? I love Star Wars and have been wondering about this party.
I agree, the Landry's card is helpful if you have a reward to use there. Of course, you could use it for The Rainforest Cafe, but I've never liked the food from that restaurant. It's just a novelty.
I would not say there are enough savory items to outweigh the lack of enjoying dessert. They served a few kinds of cheese, hummus, pita, and some meat options but that was about it. We had a really nice spot for watching the show as we were right in the front, but the projection is high enough that I think you would be able to find other good viewing spots without the reserved area. I think to break it down, here is what you should consider:
Without being a dessert person, would you be satisfied with only a few savory options and some alcohol to justify the cost of the food?
Do you want to meet Kylo Ren without a waiting time?
Do you want a souvenir that may retail for about $20?
Do you want to be able to walk right up to a viewing spot without having to wait for a long time to find a place to enjoy the fireworks?
Without the party, you can still meet the characters over at the Bay, but you'll have standard waiting time. Like I said, I'm sure you can find a good spot for the show on your own, but it may be like lining up for a parade in that you have to pick your spot early and wait.
These look delicious. I really liked this restaurant, but my Husband hated it so I have no idea when I'll ever get to go back there.
MMM this looks good!
That's really annoying that you were told one thing and it was really at 5:30pm that you could check in.
The food at the Dessert Party looked great. And maybe it was meant to be that you were late so you'd get the good table and table mates. It's good to know for the future that you can check in earlier and have more time to not rush.
Yes, that is good to know that we can go earlier. That was my rookie mistake. Oh, well, you live and learn.
We only kind of liked Yak & Yeti. I think we are in the minority on that, there is just so much good quick service at Animal Kingdom, that it's not really on our list to try.
OH NO!!!! That is terrible. You should have complained!!! Glad you still liked it for the most part.
We love Flame Tree BBQ, but did not get to go this time. I would much rather have had that.
