Disney has updated the description for Harambe Market at Disney's Animal Kingdom, confirming menu changes ahead of its March 1, 2026 reopening.
The revised menu will feature classic quick-service items including Angus burgers, chicken strips, a harissa chicken wrap, and a salad with mixed greens, lentils, carrots and couscous. Beer, soft drinks, and desserts will also be available.
The new description marks a shift from Harambe Market's previous focus on African-inspired dishes. Disney now describes the location as an "open-air African plaza" serving "classic staples" to guests.
Construction Underway
Construction walls are currently up in the center of Harambe Market. Work is taking place to update the kitchen with frying capabilities and make updates to the kiosks themselves.
The modifications will allow the location to prepare the new menu items, particularly the fried chicken strips that were not previously offered at Harambe Market.
Closure and Reopening Timeline
Harambe Market closed October 20, 2025 for refurbishment. The closure is connected to preparations for the Tropical Americas expansion at Animal Kingdom.
Operating hours now appear on Disney's website for March 1, 2026.
The outdoor seating area has remained open during the closure. Signs direct guests to Flame Tree Barbecue, Pizzafari, and Restaurantosaurus for dining.
Capacity Changes at Animal Kingdom
The menu revision comes as Disney prepares for the closure of Restaurantosaurus, scheduled for the end of operations on February 1 2026. That high-capacity quick-service location will make way for the Tropical Americas expansion.
Harambe Market's reopening with a simplified menu is designed to absorb some of the dining capacity lost when Restaurantosaurus closes.
