What to Actually Order at Art of Animation's Landscape of Flavors

Published June 25, 2026 · Updated September 15, 2026

Most Disney World hotel food courts are purely functional—a place to grab a quick Mickey waffle before you rope-drop the parks, or a late-night slice of pizza when you get back. Landscape of Flavors at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is the rare exception. It is an actual destination.

Because it sits directly on the Disney Skyliner route, it is remarkably easy to reach from Disney’s Hollywood Studios, EPCOT, Pop Century, and Caribbean Beach. But like any massive Disney quick-service spot, the menu is a mix of genuine culinary wins and overpriced, standard-issue theme park filler.

Here is the SupaPark playbook for exactly what to order, what to walk right past, and how to make this food court work for your day.

The Smart Orders: Tandoori and Custom Stations

The golden rule of Disney dining is to order what the kitchen is specifically built to do. At Landscape of Flavors, that means heading straight to the dedicated stations that cook food you won’t easily find at other value resorts.

The Tandoori and Mongolian stations are where this food court earns its reputation. The tandoori chicken, served with naan and sides, offers a massive, flavorful portion that feels closer to a sit-down meal than a quick-service grab-and-go. The meats are prepared in dedicated ovens right in front of you. If you want real flavor for your money, this is the move.

What to Skip: The Standard Fare

Knowing what not to order is just as important to keeping your check reasonable and your stomach happy. Skip the standard burgers and basic pizza slices.

Don’t default to a standard theme-park burger just because it’s familiar. Unless you have a picky eater in your group who absolutely refuses anything else, you are wasting money on the exact same mass-produced patty you can get anywhere on property. You are at a food court with a tandoor oven—branch out.

The Skyliner Midday Escape

Because Art of Animation is on the Skyliner, Landscape of Flavors is a brilliant mid-day escape hatch when you are melting at Hollywood Studios or EPCOT. If the counter-service lines inside the parks are ballooning and you couldn’t snag an Advance Dining Reservation, hop on the Skyliner. You get a scenic, breezy ride and access to a massive, air-conditioned dining room with better food than most in-park quick-service spots.

The Budget Hack: It is incredibly easy to accidentally drop $80+ on a quick-service lunch if your group wanders the stations grabbing whatever looks good. To keep your budget in check, pull up the menu in the My Disney Experience app while you ride the Skyliner over. Formulating a rough idea of what each person will order before you walk in prevents the impulse-buying that ruins a food budget.

The One Thing to Remember

Treat Landscape of Flavors like a dining destination, not a cafeteria. Take the Skyliner over when you need a midday park break, skip the standard burgers, and head straight for the tandoori station.
