Welcome to planDisney Brenda! Thanks for bringing your question here today! I totally relate to making the most of your time in the Parks - there is always so much to do, and I never seem to complete that Disney checklist!
Bus services between Disney Resort hotels and Disney theme parks begin 45 minutes before Disney's Animal Kingdom opens and end about an hour after Park close. I believe the last dining reservation at the Rainforest Cafe (located at the Main Entrance of Disney's Animal Kingdom) is about 30 minutes after this close time. If your dining experience finishes later than the last available bus, you could always book a
Minnie Van. This whimsical personal ride service can be booked using your smartphone to request a ride through the Lyft app.
Brenda, a time-saving top dining tip is to Mobile Order using your My Disney Experience App. I highly recommend
Satu'li Canteen in Pandora – The World of Avatar. The food is delicious, and as you can Mobile Order, you'll have your tasty meal quickly! This restaurant has the added bonus of being located near one of the best rides in all of Walt Disney World -
Avatar Flight of Passage!
Have the most wonderful time making unforgettable memories at the Most Magical Place on Earth, Brenda. I will be right here should you have any further questions, Louise.
