food IS a theme park
Secret menus at Disney World are hiding in plain sight, and these are the items that guests can’t stop ordering lately!

Secret menu items are a fun find at Disney World restaurants and lounges all over property. While not every location has some, there are a few that do, and when you find them, it feels like a little scavenger hunt. It’s always worth asking your server if they do have any secret items because you’ll never know what you can find!
It’s inevitable — Disney World increases prices on at least something every year.
Disney World Annual Pass
And from 2025 to 2026, we saw quite a few changes when it came to prices. Here are SEVEN things that increased in price this year.
Shhh! We’re going to let you in on a little secret!
Yak and Yeti
Something we love at Disney World is the secret menu items, and when we discover a new one, we have to make it a little less secret and share it here with you. This time, we’re heading to Animal Kingdom, where there are four new secret drinks we just can’t get enough of.
Animal Kingdom is home to tons of our favorite eats in Disney World. In fact, there are so many great spots and options, it’s sometimes hard for us to choose what to eat when we visit!
Who’s ready for a new snack?
With that being said, when we hear that there’s a new snack or meal in the park, we say YES PLEASE and head straight there, because we almost always have high hopes. Over at Yak and Yeti Local Food Cafes (not to be confused with the Yak and Yeti table service restaurant!), there’s a new entree available that caught our eye, and after trying it, the first thing that comes to mind is that you’ll want to be ready to share!
Grabbing Disney World dining reservations isn’t the easiest thing in the world. There are numerous restaurants and a large number of people who all seek the same magical dining experience.
Rainforest Cafe in Disney Springs
One way to get into your favorite restaurants more easily is by having a membership, but don’t worry — this isn’t as special as a Club 33 membership. Anyone can sign up and reap the rewards!
We know that Disney World vacations aren’t cheap! When you are visiting the most magical place on Earth, you don’t want to waste your money on sub-par food.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Even if you decide to splurge on a meal, not all Disney World restaurants are created equal. We want to make sure you are getting the most out of your vacation, so we are sharing the most expensive restaurant in Disney’s Animal Kingdom that you should skip (and where you should go instead).
Three words: Mini. Mango. Pie. Trust us — it’s AMAZING! But that’s not all that the Yak & Yeti Local Food Cafes restaurant has to offer. This place has some great quick-service snacks, like Crispy Pork Pot Stickers and even an American Kobe Cheeseburger!
So. Good.
So, why are we talking about this hidden gem at Disney’s Animal Kingdom? Well, we have an important update — especially if you were planning to take advantage of an old perk at this restaurant.
There are four secret clubs hidden across Disney World and one secret club hidden at Disneyland.
Club 33 Disneyland
If you guessed Club 33, you are right! But there is actually a club that you can join for a fraction of the cost, and it can earn you points at select Disney World restaurants! We are all here to save money on dining at Disney World, so we want to let you in on this secret club and show you how you can join!
Take a look at this table of food. Now that is a good-looking meal, right? We’ve got egg rolls, rice, and even a cookies and cream parfait. Everybody loves a parfait! So, where can a person procure such a meal? Over at Yak & Yeti at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Full Spread at Yak and Yeti
We’re calling it the Yak and Yeti Universe because you can enjoy a quick-service meal at the Yak & Yeti Local Foods Cafes, a sit-down meal inside at Yak & Yeti, AND shop for some fun souvenirs at the nearby Yak & Yeti gift shop. They’ve got it ALL! In fact, you can even get an exclusive refillable souvenir — let’s check it out!
2024 is shaping up to be a great year if news like this keeps on comin’!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
We’ve already seen the Disney Dining Plan return, Park Pass Reservations disappear for some ticket types, and Park Hopping ditch its 2PM restriction, so how could this week possibly get any better? Hey, guess what? IT JUST DID. One of our all-time favorite snacks at Disney’s Animal Kingdom just made its glorious return after going MISSING for several months! [Read more…]
