I know that the value and moderate resorts at Disney World have food courts. Do any of the other Disney resorts have food courts or something comparable? Does anyone have information about Mara at The Animal Kingdom Lodge?

I know the Contemporary and Wilderness lodge have small foodcourts.

Is Mara the restaurant that is pool side at Animal Kingdom Lodge? I saw it but did not eat there and can't remember why I didn't. Instead, I went to a grocery/food deli that was next to Mara. They have sandwiches, salads, drinks, all of which were very good and quite reasonably priced.

Downtown Disney has some interesting food selections.

The Mara is the food court area of the AKL & yes it's very near the pool. Not all the resorts have a food court area. The Caribbean has a big food court area & the Beach/Yacht Club have none.

The Mara is the food court at Animal Kingdom. We ate there one time - it seemed similar to other food courts at the moderate resorts. In other words, it was okay food but way overpriced.

If you want a list of all the restaurants at WDW and their menus, go to www.wdwig.com

All of the resorts have some sort of counter service. While it may not be a food court offering tons of choices it'll still be cheaper than doing a sit-down.

Mara is a cafeteria style ara to get sandwiches, bagels, sodas, juices, fruit, etc. IT is next to the pool area. There is some outdoor seating as well. They do serve up hot breakfasts or if you are on the go to a parks, you can just pick it up and go-
