Pandora – World of Avatar is full of immersive details. Even the food and beverage is special. Many folks don’t know they can enjoy a hearty breakfast at Pongu Pongu, the area’s snack and specialty beverage spot. Our team started their day with a full spread from this popular spot.
Pongu Pongu – Pandora Animal Kingdom
Our readers have rated Pongu Pongu as the second best snack spot in all of Walt Disney World. They’ve also given it a 95% thumbs up rating. The star of the show is the Pineapple Cream Cheese Lumpia, but we feel their breakfast offerings are worthy of praise too.
Sausage, Egg and Cheese Biscuit – $6.99
French Toast Sticks – $6.29
Pongu Lumpia (Pineapple Cream Cheese Spring Roll) – $3.29
The biscuit is certainly the heartiest of the breakfast items. The biscuit was a little crunchy on the outside, but fluffy (as a biscuit should be) on the inside. The serving of egg, sausage, and cheese was plentiful. This will absolutely fill you up.
The French Toast Sticks were a hit with our team, and our junior field team members. Sweet, slightly crunchy, fluffy, and tender these are easily shared.
The most popular item at Pongu Pongu is the Lumpia, a crispy spring roll filled with sweet pineapple and cream cheese. It’s warm and gooey, and has been a hit since Pandora’s opening day.
You can pair your Pandora breakfast with the signature beverage, The Night Blossom, which is layers of Apple and Desert Pear Limeade topped with Passion Fruit Boba Balls ($5.99). If you’re a fan of boba balls you can order extra (as seen in the Night Blossom on the right side of the photo). Pongu Pongu is also one of the rare places at Walt Disney World that serves beer and alcoholic beverages in the morning.
Pongu Pongu Breakfast Menu – Pandora Animal Kingdom
Mobile ordering is not available at this location. It is a walk-up and order location without any dedicated seating, but Satu’li Canteen is nearby with outdoor seating there.
Our team enjoyed breakfast here and recommend it as a great way to start your day exploring Pandora. If you love having tips and information at your fingertips then become a TouringPlans Subscriber; our Lines app includes ratings for all Walt Disney World dining locations.

We’re here with a series of quick posts, “Disney in a Minute,” bite-sized nuggets of information that can better help you understand a Disney term or planning topic. Enjoy!
There may be bright moments in a dark ride.
What is a dark ride?
When chatting about theme parks may hear a sentence like, “I think the new Ratatouille dark ride at EPCOT will open next year.” What does the “dark ride” part of that mean?
You’re likely to find several variant definitions depending on who you ask, but the key components of a dark ride are:
The attraction is primarily indoors.
The attraction is designed to direct where you look and what you see.
These are all attractions where you board a vehicle that takes you on a pre-determined route. The vehicle points you toward the area of interest. Your physical position, lighting design, and even sound cues, all direct what your eyes will take in.
If, for example, you look upwards while riding it’s a small world, you’ll see ceiling tiles reminiscent of a 1970s office park, revealing that you’re basically floating along in a warehouse. To prevent this, nearly every aspect of the attraction design (colors, movement, lights, music) work to keep your interest at ground level, in the world of lovely singing dolls. You only see what they want you to see.
Unlike large outdoor roller coasters, dark rides are weatherproof, typically easy to control, and can be reconfigured with minimal effort. Changing EPCOT’s Malestrom dark ride into Frozen Ever After, was accomplished relatively quickly because it was done out of sight and primarily involved switching out set decor.
Let us know what Disney topics you think need just a bit more explanation.
