Atmosphere

Mahindi is a smaller popcorn cart with an open-air atmosphere on the edge of the African Harambe Village. Guests can enjoy their eats while watching for passing waterway cavalcades or enjoying the sights and sounds of Harambe Village. The Harambe Village Acrobats and Tam Tam Drummers of Harambe also offer excellent performances to watch as you snack.

The stand also offers signature refillable popcorn buckets and popcorn refills. Guests can use any popcorn bucket for the length of their stay, regardless of where it was originally bought.

Dining Tips

Although Mahindi is a smaller Quick Service dining location, the nearby Tamu Tamu Refreshments offers a large amount of outdoor seating where Guests can relax while they enjoy a snack or meal. The seating area is shaded, providing a break from the hot sun and allowing Guests to cool off before continuing their Park adventures in Animal Kingdom.

As a Disney foodie, I love writing about Disney food and snacks. Some of my favorites are the Carrot Cake Cookie from Trolley Car Cafe, the Mickey Beignets from Port Orleans French Quarter, and the Apple Blossom from Port Orleans Riverside. When I'm visiting the parks, you can find me on Main Street taking in the good vibe of Magic Kingdom or relaxing with a drink at the Polynesian watching the fireworks from the beach. As a previous Cast Member, I will always have a special place in my heart for the Magic Kingdom, especially Main Street U.S.A.
