Thirsty River - Lake Buena Vista

Thirsty River in Animal Kingdom is one of our top drink stops. The bartenders are consistently friendly and accommodating, and with a full bar, they can whip up any drink of your choice. The restaurant also offers a great variety of beers, including seasonal options. We highly recommend Thirsty River.

We didn't order any drinks at this restaurant, but we made a quick stop at the Thirsty River Bar and Trek Snacks after exiting Everest so the kids could have lunch. They really liked the large Mickey pretzels they had. It's a convenient and low-key option if you're looking for something easy.

The bartender, Kiwi, was excellent. She was very helpful in explaining and accommodating not only my order, but also the orders of those before and after me. The margarita was a perfect balance of sweet and spicy, with the salt/Tajin rim adding a unique touch.

Faster service and I like the tents here better than anywhere else in the park

Great place for a fast snack (they have mickey bretzels) and a drink for the children and the adults to stop. they have no more golden monkeys, as a previous menu pick shown. the server were all very friendly. that makes a great place to wait for her party if they don't want to go to everest.
