Yak and Yeti

Walt Disney World


Sharing the name of Kathmandu's exclusive digs in the real Nepal, decorated with a vaguely Nepalese-infused decor, and serving pan-fried noodles, pot stickers, tempura, and icy Tsingtao, this recommended getaway at the base of Mt Everest transports you from Disney to the Himalayas. The food is surprisingly good and is one of the best bets for eating inside the park.
