How ya doin', Todd, and welcome to planDisney!
If there is only one fan in the entire world of
Jiko - The Cooking Place, it's me. I've sent so many people there at this point that it should probably be called Taylor - The Recommended Place. As a Louisiana girl, I have some strong opinions about food, and getting you to this reservation is not to be trifled with. Grab those keys and let's be off!
To travel from
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort and Spa to
Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge, I'd recommend leaving about 30-35 minutes before your reservation. When you arrive at the security gate, tell them you have a reservation at the restaurant. Pro-tip: Be prepared to show them your reservation in the
My Disney Experience app. From there, you'll just need to park that car and head in for one of, in my humble opinion, the best meals on property.
Todd, I wouldn't dream of letting you leave without telling you that The Short Rib Isitambu is the main course to beat as far as I'm concerned. Now go have the dreamiest dinner. If you have any other questions, please
come back for another chat.
Happy Dining!
Taylor
