Atmosphere

Pulling from the excitement of Discovery Island, The Smiling Crocodile has an open and fun atmosphere. It’s a smaller Quick Service location, but the designs and art decorating the restaurant include carvings of smiling animals, from crocodiles to snakes to beavers. Though this restaurant does not offer seating, however nearby outdoor seating at Flame Tree Barbecue gives Guests a beautiful setting to enjoy their meal. We recommend heading to Flame Tree’s garden seating to dine on your delicious street tacos.

About Megan Losey

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.
