Art of Animation: Where to Fill Up

"As you can see, I've already eaten!"

More and more information about Disney's Art of Animation Resort seems to be popping up every day. An important part of choosing where to stay on property is the food. At least, for me!

So it's appropriate that the Disney Parks Blog announced the list of dining options that will be available at the new resort when it opens.

The Soup-Salad-Sandwich Shop lets you create your own salad (with beef or chicken) and offers a caprese sandwich with fresh mozzarella and tomatoes on focaccia, or a Buffalo-style turkey sandwich with arugula and a blue cheese-Buffalo sauce-mayo spread. Both are served with delish house-made potato chips.

The World Flavors Shop adds Indian-African flair to breakfast, too, with scrambled eggs, tandoor potatoes, Portuguese sausage, slab bacon and a mini-naan; or a veggie flatbread sandwich on naan with cauliflower, spinach and paneer. Lunch and dinner is a choice of tandoori chicken or shrimp, Mongolian beef with vegetables, mahi mahi, Portuguese sausage or roasted acorn squash served with sides and naan bread.

The Pizza Shop features make-your-own pasta, cheese and pepperoni pizzas and meatballs on ciabatta bread. Room delivery is an option, too.

The Burger Shop includes a breakfast burger with chicken breakfast sausage, cheese and scrambled eggs on a multi-grain bun, and a steak-and-eggs breakfast burger with a burger topped with fried eggs, cheese and bacon. Besides the traditional burgers, lunch and dinner includes a surf and turf burger with crab cake and fried popcorn shrimp, and a pastrami cheeseburger topped with pepper jack cheese and a slice of fried green tomato.

The “grab ‘n go” Market Shop offers drinks, yogurt, bagels, pastries, gourmet cupcakes, cookies and gelato.

Sounds like pretty standard Disney Value Resort food court fare, which is not a bad thing at all. One exception would definitely be the World Flavors Shop. Sounds like they've made an effort to incorporate flavors that might fit the atmosphere of The Lion King building.
However, I'm not sure how appropriate it is to serve Mahi Mahi in a Finding Nemo themed hotel . . .
