Dining Tips

Although the Dawa Bar is open into the evening, we recommend visiting closing to its opening or closing times to avoid the crowds that come midday. Additionally, if you visit later in the evening, depending on the season, you may catch a golden hour view of Animal Kingdom Park while enjoying your drink.
