Harambe Market covered seating area - March 10 2023

Harambe Market at Disney's Animal Kingdom will soon gain a new covered seating area.


The area has been built across the walkway and features a large thatched roof.

The area remains behind construction walls but appears complete and should be opening very soon.

The busy Spring and Summer seasons are almost here, and the quick-service dining area will greatly benefit from the expansion of covered seating.

Menu items at Harambe Market include Rice Bowls, Beef and Lamb Kofta Pita, and salads.

Oh dang. Disney did a good job picking the shade of brown on those fans. I completely missed them when I was looking at the photos.

Yes there are fans in the corners.

there’s fans in the corners of the beams/roof support. I was thinking the same thing but liked closer and saw them

Covered is nice but I feel like it's really lacking fans to help provides some airflow. AK is a heat trap in the warmer months.

Pretty sure I recall Harambe selling chicken nuggets for a bit, so I'd imagine they'll cover that capacity. As long as Flame Tree or Satu'li aren't modified, I'll be ok lol

It’ll be interesting to see how they handle it, I’m not sure any of the other QSR kitchens are set up to make that cuisine. I’d think Pizzafari would best be able to handle more capacity but I don’t think they’ve ever done fried foods there.

So once Dinoland goes down, do we expect Harambe Market to sell Chicken Tenders and Burgers to make up for Restaurantosaurus?

That's in Dinoland? That makes sense, thank you.

castlecake2.0Mar 20, 2024

I’m guessing Restaurantosaurus

What venue?

This also makes it easier to access restrooms being able to walk right through to them instead of having to go all the way around the building.
