Disney Dining – Cinderella’s Royal Table. Character dining is not just for kids!

Yak and Yeti – A Disney Dining Review

We recently returned from a trip to Disney World and had an unexpected dining experience at Yak and Yeti.  For many years, our go-to was Tusker House, but after it turned into a buffet we never went back.  So for several trips we just ate at Pizzafari or snacked around the park.
