Feast Your Senses: Why Boma at Animal Kingdom Lodge is a Disney Must-Do!
Hello, Disney foodies! Katy Thompson here, your friendly travel agent from Gallivanters Vacations. Disney has long since been known for fantastic food and legendary service. But, when it comes to the table service restaurants, one place really stands out. It’s Boma – Flavors of Africa at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge!
Are you planning a Walt Disney World vacation? Do you want a special meal? Then, you absolutely must try Boma. It’s more than just food. It’s a taste adventure! Therefore, I truly recommend it.
Ambiance: Step into an African Marketplace
First, picture Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. It looks like a grand African village. Boma, furthermore, keeps this feel alive. The restaurant feels lively and bright. It seems like a busy African market.
They use thatched roofs. The colors are warm and earthy. You can watch chefs cook. This makes the place feel busy. Delicious smells fill the air. Consequently, you feel like you’ve left Florida behind.
The Food: A World of Flavors!
Now, let’s talk about the food. Boma has an all-you-care-to-enjoy buffet. But this is not just any buffet. Instead, it’s a food journey! The dishes show flavors from Africa. They also have some American favorites.
- Breakfast: The breakfast is amazing. Find Mickey waffles and bacon. However, also try unique items. For instance, Jungle Juice (POG juice) is a huge hit! They also have carved meats. Look for frittatas and special pastries. Indeed, the Bobotie, a savory egg dish, is excellent.
- Dinner: Dinner at Boma truly shines. You will find many tasty soups. The Roasted Red Pepper and Coconut Soup is legendary. So is the Carrot Ginger Soup! Often, they have carved meats. You can also enjoy unique salads. Furthermore, many stews and grilled foods are available. They use African spices. Don’t miss the famous Zebra Domes for dessert! These small chocolate treats are iconic.
The choices are great. Everyone finds something they like. Even picky eaters will be happy.
Beverages: Sip Something Special
Beyond water and soda, Boma has special drinks. Of course, Jungle Juice is a must-try for breakfast. It’s passion fruit, orange, and guava. For dinner, they offer African beers. They also have South African wines and specialty mixed drinks too. These sneaky little additions bring that Disney Magic to your meal.
Service: Friendly and Helpful
The workers at Boma are wonderful. The knowledgeable servers absolutely hit the nail on the head of the service that you expect to get at Disney. They seamlessly transition from speaking with adults to working with children. As a result, they’re infectious smile and happiness will start your day off right. I have eaten at this restaurant several times and the staff is consistently top notch.
Price: Good Value for a Special Meal
Boma is 0ne of the 38 Disney table service restaurant available at Disney World and Disney Springs. Breakfast is usually cheaper than dinner and prices change by season. Breakfast is about $30-$45 per adult. Dinner is often $50-$65 (always check Disney’s prices). However, it’s worth it for the food and atmosphere. It’s a special treat. Ultimately, it’s an experience, not just eating.
Katy’s Verdict: A Must-Do for Any Disney Vacation!
I absolutely adore Boma – Flavors of Africa! The combination of incredible food, unique ambiance, and top-notch service makes it a standout. It’s a fantastic way to experience a different side of Disney. It offers a taste of adventure.
If you’re a food lover, a fan of unique experiences, or simply want a break from the usual theme park hustle, I highly recommend Boma. It’s perfect for families. It’s great for couples. Even solo travelers will enjoy this real and tasty meal.
