Are you really on top of your basic Disney foodie game if you haven't tried Pongu Pongu while exiting Flight of Passage (FOP) or even just visiting Animal Kingdom? The Night Blossom alone earns the 5-stars for me since I'm a lime and popping boba gal. If you are a Disney foodie or planning to try some favorite/signature treats at Animal Kingdom, Pongu Pongu is definitely the stop for you!
Located in Pandora of Animal Kingdom, the small Pongu Pongu quick service stand can be found adjacent to the gift shop one exits out of after riding Flight of Passage. After arriving for rope drop at the park and rushing to FOP, we were due for some sort of breakfast type of food to keep us going for the rest of the day. My husband and I ended up ordering one of every edible item offered for breakfast: Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit; French Toast Sticks; and the Pongu Lumpia, as well as a Night Blossom...because it's a must! The Sausage, Egg, and Cheese Biscuit as well as the French Toast Sticks were tasty. Nothing too memorable and the French Toast Sticks were a little over-priced, but they definitely gave us some energy to keep trecking through the park. The Pongu Lumpia was an obvious highlight. I would describe it as a dessert egg roll (pineapple flavored). Love lumpia, love pineapple, and love the combo of what they have created! The Night Blossom is also a favorite of mine. It is a little on the sweet side, but the tartness from the lime helps to balance it out. It is a perfect, non-alcoholic refresher on those warm, humid Florida days. The passion fruit popping boba also elevates the drink!
Pre-pandemic, I've seen this line get super long. At the time of my most recent visit, mobile order was not available, however, Cast Members inside the hut always do a great job of keeping the line moving. They are consistently hustling inside there to fill orders, so don't be turned off by the length of the line.
