On May 27, 2017, a brand-new land opened in Walt Disney World’s Animal Kingdom theme park. Pandora: The World of Avatar brought James Cameron’s epic 2009 film to life in a way never seen before. There were floating mountains, a bioluminescent rainforest, a native drum circle, and more.
The opening of World of Avatar also introduced one of the most popular rides in Disney World, Avatar: Flight of Passage, where guests can ride on the back of a banshee. They could also journey through the rainforest and encounter a stunning Na’vi Shaman.

Attractions were not the only highlights of Pandora. The quick-service spot Satu’li Canteen offers guests gorgeous and tasty meals that include braised beef, chili-garlic shrimp, cheeseburger pods, fried tofu, and more. The drink stand Pongu Pongu sells the wildly popular Night Blossom drink, to which adults 21 and over can add rum.
When Satu’li Canteen first opened, it served breakfast, lunch, and dinner. However, after just a few months, the restaurant discontinued its breakfast menu and only focused on lunch and dinner.
However, after nearly seven years, that has finally changed!

The Pork Shoulder Potato Hash, Cinnamon French Toast, and Frittata and Beef are all returning items that were a part of the original breakfast menu. However, the Tropical Pandoran Forest Fruits is a new dish.
We do not know if this menu is permanent, or if Disney is simply testing the breakfast menu to see if it is something guests will be interested in the long term.
When it comes to breakfast at Animal Kingdom, there aren’t a ton of options. Guests can buy pastries and breakfast sandwiches at Creature Comforts.
Then, there is the Kusafiri Bakery and Coffee Shop, Tamu Tamu Refreshments, Isle of Java, Yak & Yeti Local Food Cafés, and Pongu Pongu. However, like Creature Comforts, they offer only pastries, cinnamon rolls, and egg sandwiches.
