The Smiling Crocodile is a small snack stand (with a cute name!) on Discovery Island in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
This stand tends to operate seasonally when there are more guests in the park. But when it’s open, you’ll often find something unexpected on the menu (like Pulled Pork Cheese Arepas and Pulled Chicken Cheese Arepas). With a frequently-changing menu, it’s worth a stop if you see it open to check out what The Smiling Crocodile is serving!
