Lion King Dining Experience coming to Jiko at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge
The fixed price three course dinner will include music from live musicians.

The price is OK, but I'm not sure why you'd choose it over the regular menu? Plus, it's hard enough to choose Jiko as it is when you have a full buffet next door which is one of my go to fine dining options!

Not expensive enough. Disney has a fiduciary responsibility to take the "guests" for all they are worth. Someone is getting fired.
What?!?Too bad it's a short-term thing.
If it's still happening (or has been turned into a permanent offering) when we visit next Feb. 2020 (staying at AKL for the first time, and have never eaten at Jiko), I'd love to try it.
What?!?
Animal kingdom might be the best hotel...as are the restaurants
I can’t believe you have stayed there before
That buffet used to be so much better as well. I would gladly pay for Jiko any day over going back to Boma again.Perhaps because buffets and mass quantities of food aren’t the sole goal?
Sanaa is a must do for us but more and more we realize it is solely for the bread service. The sauces are truly the best part. Any indian restaurant is better IMO and the naan at my favorite indian place is probably better for the most part, but the sauces are truly unique. Obviously go there to experience it but if you want to save some money, Get the bread service with a few extra pieces of naan, and split an entree.As much as I frequent this board and enjoy the vacation planning process, I've "only" been to WDW 5 times as an adult-with-family, staying at 6 different resorts (3 moderate, 3 deluxe using rented DVC points). We've long wanted to stay at AKL (we checked it out during a dinner at Boma back in 2014), but were dissuaded by a number of factors, chiefly the misconception that is was "so remote" and far away from all parks but AK that we'd be taking on huge additional amounts of travel time. It was only after I read an excellent article on another site which laid out the exact travel times from different resorts-to-parks using Disney transportation that I realized the difference was negligible, and that AKL travel times are actually better than some other resorts. Our upcoming trip will also be over a very busy school break (President's Day week), and I think we'll appreciate the opportunity to relax and recoup each afternoon, far away from the increased hustle and bustle of the parks and the louder resorts. We're really looking forward to staying (and eating - Sanaa and Jiko are both on the list) there!
Really? That's too bad. The last time I was there was 2017, but the duck I had was excellent for the price.Sanaa is a must do for us but more and more we realize it is solely for the bread service.
