The MouseHub take

Yak & Yeti Quality Beverages is a walk-up window in Asia, beside the Yak & Yeti Restaurant that Landry's has run since November 2007. Disney files it as a bar-lounge and the board backs that up: the Yak Attack mango daiquiri and a Frozen Emperor Margarita at $14.00 each, four beers on draft from $10.00, and an Opici sangria. Food is a short Grab & Go list rather than a kitchen, running Chicken Fried Rice at $7.99, two pork egg rolls at $8.99, a Teriyaki Chicken Salad at $14.49, and three desserts. Reviewers use the place as a way around the counter-service line next door.

Treat it as an afternoon stop rather than a meal. Order at the window and take your drink to the tables under the pavilion behind it, open to the air but properly shaded. Two things trip people up. Disney publishes no operating hours for this window, and reviewers keep finding it shuttered on quieter days. The card carries no entree and no kids' meal, so anyone feeding a family ends up at the Yak & Yeti Local Food Cafe next door, which trades 9:00 AM to 6:30 PM.

At a glance

Best for
Adults who want a frozen cocktail or a cold beer without sitting down to a restaurant meal
Skip if
You are feeding children or want a hot entree and a table indoors
Worth ordering
Yak Attack, Chicken Fried Rice, Side Pork Egg Roll, Mini Mango Pie
Reservations
There is nothing to book and nothing to order ahead. My Disney Experience offers no reservations, no walk-up list, and no Mobile Order, so the line at the window is the whole system, and reviewers report it staying short while the counter next door backs up
Value
The food is the bargain here, with Chicken Fried Rice at $7.99 and chips at $2.99, while the drinks carry the bill: $14.00 for the cocktails and the sangria, $12.25 for most drafts

The good

  • The window skips the counter line
    Its Grab & Go section carries the Asian counter food, fried rice and pork egg rolls included, so reviewers order here rather than queue at the Local Food Cafe.
  • The Yak Attack is why people stop
    A $14.00 mango daiquiri built on Don Q Cristal rum with wildberry, and the drink guests keep coming back for after a hot lap of Asia.
  • The beer board is longer than expected
    Four drafts including Safari Amber, the Sailfish Sunrise City IPA and Kirin Ichiban, plus Singha and a rotating local seasonal. Bud Light is the cheapest at $10.00.
  • The fried rice eats like a meal
    Reviewers report the $7.99 side going a lot further than a side, and split it between two people as an afternoon patch-up.
  • Dessert sits on the same card
    The Mini Mango Pie is the one guests name, at $8.99, with a cookies and cream parfait and a banana pudding parfait at the same price.
  • The pavilion out back is shaded
    A large open-air pavilion behind the window covers a set of tables, which is the quiet half of this stop and the reason reviewers treat it as a break rather than a queue.

The bad

  • Nobody knows when it opens
    Disney publishes no hours for this window, and reviewers describe walking up to shutters on slower park days.
  • Shade is not air conditioning
    The pavilion keeps the sun off, and that is as far as it goes. On a humid August afternoon reviewers wanting a cool room are walking to the restaurant next door instead.
  • Seven items is the entire food menu
    Three snacks, one salad and three desserts, with no hot entree on the card. Anyone wanting a proper plate is joining the line next door.
  • There is no kids' menu
    The board runs no kids' meals at all, which makes this a poor stop for a family that has not already eaten.
  • People walk straight past it
    Guests keep reporting they only found the window on a second lap through Asia, having walked by it the first time without registering it.

Veteran tips

  • Check the app before you walk over
    With no published hours, My Disney Experience is the only thing that will tell you the window is open today. Reviewers who skipped that step found it closed.
  • Order the fried rice, not the salad
    Chicken Fried Rice is $7.99 and the Teriyaki Chicken Salad is $14.49. For a snack between rides the rice is the better value of the two.
  • Walk past the window to the pavilion
    The shaded tables sit behind the building, out of sight of the order window, so guests who stop at the counter and turn around miss them.
  • Get a Panda Cup for the kids
    The frozen lemonade and frozen strawberry come in a souvenir Panda Cup at $13.99, which is the one thing here aimed at children.
  • Bud Light is the cheap pour
    $10.00 against $12.25 for Safari Amber and the other drafts, and $14.00 for anything blended. Worth knowing if you are buying for a group.
  • Do not plan lunch around this window
    Reviewers who arrive hungry end up next door anyway. Eat first, then come here for the drink.
  • Stop here before the bird show
    Feathered Friends in Flight! plays about 70 metres away in Asia, so this is the closest cold drink to the theater before you sit down.
