    Are there any indoor quick service dining locations at Animal Kingdom or Hollywood Studios? Our strategy for dealing with the summer heat includes indoor dining. We will leave these parks if needed, but would really prefer not to.

    Hello Caressa! Thank you for flying in on your magic carpet to planDisney with such a fantastic question! To paraphrase a line from a song in Aladdin, "Florida nights, like Florida days, more often than not, are hotter than hot, in a lot of good ways!" Like you, I enjoy visiting indoor quick-service restaurants for a nice, cool place to sit for a meal in the summer. Since we're on the topic of Aladdin songs today, let me say, "Disney has your restaurant, and I'm your planDisney maître d'! You have a question about what you want; you ain't never had a friend like me!" I'm thrilled to help you find some of these fabulous locations! 

    Let's start with Animal Kingdom. Two great quick-service options are Restaurantosaurus and Pizzafari, which offer a variety of foods such as pizza, salads, chicken, hamburgers, and hot dogs. Both locations generally have plenty of indoor seating and support Mobile Food Ordering through the My Disney Experience app. My favorite quick-service spot at Animal Kingdom is Satu'li Canteen. The food there has a unique flair you won't find anywhere else. I am a big fan of the Cheeseburger Steamed Pods (Bao Buns)! You'll find plenty of space to enjoy your meal while staying cool! 

    Okay, let's hop on that magic carpet, go to Hollywood Studios, and check out some of their indoor quick-service locations. While most table-service restaurants offer fantastic indoor seating, Backlot Express has some indoor dining available. My personal favorite location, which I highly recommend, is ABC Commissary. In fact, my visits to Hollywood Studios are never complete without stopping there for the Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese Sandwich—it's delicious! Since this restaurant is quite large, I've always been able to find a table. It's usually nice and cool inside, and I love that I can use Mobile Order to place my food order before I arrive.

    Caressa, I hope this helps you find the perfect place to dine! While we are on the subject of staying cool, I want to make sure you know that on your My Disney Experience app, you can type in "Water Bottle Refill Stations," and you'll find on a map all the places to fill up your water bottle to stay nice and hydrated! 

    I'm so happy you stopped by planDisney so we can help make your dining wishes come true. Visit us again anytime. We are happy to help. Have an amazing vacation! 

    Happy planning,
    Shonette
