Beginning this summer, Pizzafari in Disney’s Animal Kingdom will switch to a new “family style” quick service dining option for dinner. Here’s the details:
Guests will be asked to make a reservation online or via phone, but it will remain as a Quick Service option. Think of that process like Be Our Guest breakfast and lunch.
You’ll place your orders at the check-in podium and be guided to your seat by a Cast Member. You’ll then be given the option of two appetizers (Caprese Salad or Caesar Salad) and three entrees (Pasta, Pizza and Chicken) and finish off your meal with a dessert option.
This new “family style” dining option will be offered from 5pm to 8pm beginning July 31. The cost will be $19.99 for adults and $11.99 for children 3-9. It includes tax and non-alcoholic beverages. Beer and wine will be available for additional purchase.
This meal will still count as 1 Quick Service meal option on the various Disney Dining Plans. According to the menus on Character Locator, there is a savings here with this option, if you plan to order a meal with side, entree, dessert and drink. If you prefer to go a little lighter, you may just want to walk-in for lunch.
Reservations are available online at DisneyWorld.com/Dine or by calling 407-WDW-DINE (407-939-3463) starting Tuesday, July 17.
Any idea why reservations only go up to October 31?
I hate table hoarding, as well. And I sure hope they tell people to shut off their cell phones. We’re so sick of being “included” in someone else’s conversation. So rude.
The dining plan QS meal doesn’t include beer/wine/etc.?
Great! It only goes through October.
Wow! this is a good deal for a quick service option :) I like it!
I love the “being guided to your seat” part especially after the last rainstormy visit when it was mobbed! Had to practically beg someone to move her things off a table so we could eat there! We love Pizzafari but it is always very crowded when we go. Organized seating would really help and this sounds like a pretty good deal too.
I hate table hoarding too.
