It's time to rate the eats at Disney's Animal Kingdom! In this episode, we're putting some of the park's most popular—and sometimes overlooked—food and drink spots into three categories: Hit, Miss, or Meh. From iconic snacks to quick-service favorites and table-service restaurants, we're sharing which locations we'd happily recommend, which ones leave us on the fence, and which we'd pass by.

A quick disclaimer: We haven't personally eaten at every restaurant and snack location in Animal Kingdom. Some of our opinions are based on our own experiences, while others are informed by extensive research, reviews, and the Disney community. Along the way, we'll also reveal which spots landed on our "Need to Try ASAP" list and which ones we're still perfectly okay skipping—for now.

Whether you're planning your next Animal Kingdom day or just love talking Disney food, tune in and see if you agree with our picks!
