What User likes about Thirsty River:
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.
