Hello, Lisa!
Extra Magic Hours are a fantastic perk of staying on-site in a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, and they allow you to get a jump start on your theme park touring. Since Extra Magic Hours start at 8:00 AM on your trip, plan to be at
Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park no later than 7:30 AM. Once you get through the turnstiles, Cast Members will be stationed at the rope drop area to scan your MagicBands or park tickets to make sure you are a resort Guest.
If you need a Starbucks fix before your early morning banshee flight, make a stop at
Creature Comforts before heading to Pandora-The World of Avatar. However, if you'd rather eat breakfast Na'vi style,
Pongu Pongu is the place to go where they are known for their pineapple and cream cheese Pongu Lumpia, but they also have traditional breakfast favorites like French Toast Sticks. If you plan on using your Extra Magic Hours to ride the famed Kilimanjaro Safaris, look for the Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery where they offer up irresistible treats. I recommend the Egg, Sausage, Spinach, and Goat Cheese Breakfast Wrap. They also have a spiked Iced Coffee with Amarula Cream Liqueur- yum!
When you start to get a "Rumbly in your Tumbly" again around lunchtime, Satu'li Canteen is my go-to place with their healthy Bowls filled with lean proteins and wholesome grains. This is also a great location to try out
Mobile Food & Beverage ordering from your phone to avoid standing in line.
Have a fantastic time on your trip, Lisa!
