    Where is Mara located?

    Hi there, Debbie. Welcome to planDisney. 

    It sounds like you are planning a trek to Walt Disney World. I'm happy to see you are asking about one of my very favorite quick-service locations. To visit The Mara, you'll need to take a walk on the wild side and visit the stunning Animal Kingdom Lodge. 

    For the ideal grazing spot, this is one of my favorite Resort hotel locations. They offer a very large indoor seating area and an outdoor space with several umbrella tables for shade.

    When it comes to The Mara, it's all about the food. They offer unique items like the Harissa-Spiced Beef Bowl and the Marrakesh Falafel Platter. However, I never miss the chance to order the Fire-Roasted Tomato and Herbed Ricotta Flatbread. Lions and tigers and pizza—oh my! This flatbread pizza is one of my favorites in all of Walt Disney World. But the main reason most Guests visit is for the famous, delicious, and oh-so-yummy Zebra Domes! There's a reason why these chocolate mousse delights are so popular. The Zebra Domes are definitely the king of the jungle at this restaurant. If you haven't tried them, you are missing out on a favorite dessert among Disney fans.

    I'm not sure when you plan to arrive at Walt Disney World or if you have a hotel booked, but if you're interested in reserving a vacation at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, I'll include the link here for Special Offers, Deals, & Discounts. Whether you stay here or just visit, be sure to explore the lobby and see the animals in the savanna. Boma - Flavors of Africa is another great dining option, especially for breakfast! 

    I hope this was the information you were looking for. Debbie, I hope you'll visit us again at planDisney as you plan your vacation. We are Guests like you, and we are happy to share our heartfelt suggestions and advice. And follow us on Instagram for even more helpful tips. I'm wishing you a vacation ROAR-ing with fun! 

    Happy planning,
